CHAPTER 6 Official Adoption

Edna's pov

While I was staring at myself in the mirror I heard noise downstairs which made me a little worried. I rushed out of the room and headed downstairs to know what was going on.

The moment I got downstairs I saw everyone there, and there seemed to be an emergency.

"Daddy, daddy." I called out while running down, it wasn't easy for me because of the gown I was wearing.

When I got there I sighted grandma gasping for breath. "What's going on?" I asked but everyone was too busy trying to make grandma better so no one could give me a reply to my question.

Soon the emergency vehicle arrived and she was moved into the bus, everyone hesitated to follow until she called Cassie's name. The whole family looked at me and obviously I had to go with her.

I rushed into the vehicle and we headed to the hospital. It was my first time having the party with them and now I have to spend the night in the hospital. I wasn't happy but I had no other choice because of Grandma's condition.

After a long ride we finally arrived at the hospital and Grandma refused to let go of my hands.

"Grandma, I will be waiting here for you, I can't go In there with you." I said to her trying to make her understand, she was trying to talk but I couldn't hear her clearly.

The doctor took her to the emergency ward and soon the surgery began. While I was standing in the corridor hoping for good news I got a phone call from home.

"She's in the emergency room now." I said to dad on the phone.

"I'm sorry you had to miss such a grand day." I wasn't happy but I tried not to let it show and just pretend to be fine, after all I'm just lucky to have them.

"Dad, it's fine, I hope the surgery goes well," I said to him with a voice. He could tell from the way I sounded that I was unhappy but who wouldn't be unhappy when In a situation like this.

"Please tell Amber that I am with grandma and i'll be there soon."

"Okay dear, I will tell her, I know she will be very upset." I nodded my head and ended the call.

I heaved a sigh and sat on the chair in the corridor. I can't believe I had this dress up only to spend my night In the hospital.

While sitting on the chair in the corridor I unexpectedly fell asleep.

"Miss," One of the nurses tapped me on the shoulder. I woke up immediately and stood up from where I was sitting.

"Is grandma fine, how did the surgery go?" While asking I decided to check my phone and shockingly I realized it was already four hours.

"The surgery ended a few hours ago," The nurse said to me with a smile on her face, I placed my hand on my chest, feeling relieved.

"Where is she now? Is she okay?" I asked, sounding worried.

"Yes she is out of danger but you cannot see her now." The nurse explained, I nodded my head and sat back on the chair.

I checked my phone again and realized there was no point leaving again because the party would have ended, "Dad must have made the announcement." I muttered.

While at it I decided to check social media and see what's going on there and how people are taking the information about my adoption.

Getting there I didn't see much bashing, most of them were only curious to know what I looked like.

It felt good but I somehow wished I was there to see how everything would play out and how I would be called out.

"I'm happy." I whispered to myself trying to make me feel better.

After some minutes I sighted aunt Erica walking towards me, she looked scared. I'm sure it's because of Grandma.

"Where is she?" She asked me the moment she got to where I was sitting.

"She is out of danger now but we can't see her yet." I explained to her. Aunt Erica was relieved to hear what I said to them . She looked at the way I was dressed.

"I heard you missed the party because of Grandma." She said to me and sat beside me, I nodded my head upon hearing what she said to me.

"She wanted me to be here with her, I had no other choice." I replied to her.

"Sorry you had to sacrifice your special day like this." It's the first time aunt Erica was sounding nice to me, I didn't know how to feel or what to say to her.

"I'm fine, I'm happy she's okay now." I said to her with a smile on my face.

"I know that I have been very hard on you and I didn't give you the chance to prove yourself to me first. I'm sorry." Hearing her say such words made me feel better.

"I know you were only finding it hard to accept me, so no hard feelings."

"You know you don't always have to be this nice." Aunt Erica said and we both laughed. It's the first time she was laughing with me and that made me feel really good, I can't explain the way I felt.

"What kind of people were invited to the party?" That's one thing I was very curious about.

"Mostly prominent people, and princes. Your dad is obsessed with finding you a mate as soon as possible." I opened my eyes wider than normal at the realization that Darrel might be at the party too.

"You mean all the pack princes were invited?" I asked to confirm if I heard her correctly.

"Yes, they will be there, most of them would do anything to make you theirs, but your dad wants the best of them all for you." Erica said to me with a smile on her face, she looked more excited like she's the one they were getting the princes for.

"Darrel will be there." I whispered to myself.
