Lumma took her suitcase as quickly as possible and took a taxi to the hospital.

In the taxi, she got a call from Arty again. “Ms. Louis, we agreed last night. How can you go back on your word?”

It was really Lumma’s fault. “Mr. Bloom, I’m sorry! I didn’t do it purpose. I got a family emergency. I’ll call you and make an appointment for the divorce when I’m done, okay?”

“The divorce will only take a few minutes. You can come to City Hall to get it done first. I’ll take you wherever you want to go when it’s done, okay?” If Lumma could come to City Hall to divorce Adam, Arty would do anything for her.

“I’m not in Red Pine City right now. Please don’t call me. I’ll contact you when I’m done.” After that, Lumma hung up the phone and turned it off directly.

At this moment, all she could think about was Maria’s illness, and she was so flustered

that she was not in the mind to deal with the divorce at all.

Arty looked at his phone in despair. Lumma was not in Red Pine City, so it was impossible for her to come back and divorce Adam in an hour no matter what.

He looked at Adam again. This time he was nervous. “Adam, your wife said she is not in Red Pine City.”

Adam sneered, “Do you believe her?”

Arty felt that Adam was right. “Okay, I’ll go to her house. As long as she is in Red Pine City today, I’ll bring her to City Hall no matter what it takes.”

When Lumma arrived at the hospital, Maria was still in ICU. She couldn’t see Maria for the time being, so she could only ask the doctor about Maria’s condition.

Maria was in kidney failure, commonly known as uremia. The best treatment for this disease was a kidney transplant. However, Maria was old, and it was difficult to find’ a match, so she could only be treated with dialysis for now.

The medical conditions in a small city like Soothy City were mediocre. The doctor said that Red Pine Hospital was an authority in this area, but the cost was expensive.

Maria was the only family Lamma had, and no matter how expensive the medical expenses were, she would not give up, en she immediately decided. “Dr. Hunter, I will take my grandma to Read Pine City for treatment.”

Hearing what Lumma said, Dr. Hunter nodded in relief. “You’re much more reliable than your uncle and aunt. No wonder Maria has mentioned you.”

Through the glass window, Lomma looked at Maria in ICU who was stuck full of tubes. She felt that her heart was broken. “She’s mentioned me?”

Dr. Hunter said, “Maria uttered Tamma’ over and over in her sleep, and she looked for you when she woke up. She also uttered ‘Lucas’ or something.”

Lumma fell silent.

It was not surprising that Maria mentioned her, but she hadn’t expected Maria to mention Lucas. If Maria found out that she and Lucas were going to divorce today…

Lumma turned pale with fright, not daring to think about it.

Seeing Lumma’s pale face, Dr. Hunter patted her on the shoulder to comfort her. “You don’t have to worry too much. Maria will be fine as long as she gets through today and gets transferred to the general ward. But she can’t live alone anymore. She’s too old, and it’s dangerous for her to live alone. You should care more about her. If the delivery guy who often delivered water to her hadn’t found her unconscious at home last night and called an ambulance in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.”

Just thinking about it made Lumma terrified. If no one had found Maria unconscious, she might have left Lumma forever, just like Lumma’s father.
