Chapter 326 She Had Upset Grandpa Once Again

Jane haughtily lifted her chin and declared, “Someone as insignificant as you wouldn’t understand. I know the vice president of Cloude Hospital. Of course, I can find out about something like this.”

Based on Jane’s demeanor, it seemed unlikely that she was lying. However, if they were to assume it was true, there were numerous unexplainable aspects such as why would Xavia have kept this information hidden from Joseph. Considering her current physical condition, pregnancy entailed significant risks. Also, why had she chosen to go to Cloude City? There weren’t many tourist attractions in that small town.

At that very moment, a young couple strolled past them.

“I’ve already told you. I can’t get an abortion if I’m already six months pregnant. Are you trying to avoid paying the dowry?” the girl exclaimed.

“No, sweetheart. We will get married eventually, I promise I’ll earn enough to pay the dowry

in the future.

”

As Chloe observed the young couple as they slowly disappeared from sight. A momentary spark of inspiration ignited within her, though it slipped away before she could fully seize it. Beside her, Icarus, who had been silent, revealed a fleeting glimmer of curiosity in his eyes.

On their way back, Chloe received an urgent call from an employee, informing her about a problem at the project site. It appeared that the safety measures had not been properly implemented, resulting in someone falling from an upper floor.

Without hesitation, Chloe hurried to the scene to address the situation. Thankfully, the injuries were not severe, and the patient’s condition stabilized. It was crucial for the injured to rest and take proper care of their body for a complete recovery.

After offering solace to the workers, providing appropriate compensation, and resolving at multitude of issues, the night had already grown late. The ongoing project, originally initiated. by Benjamin in the tourism industry, had a deadline set for completion in the following

month.

Chloe reached into the refrigerator and grabbed a bottle of cola, savoring the refreshing taste of the cool carbonated water that provided a much-needed respite from her fatigue. She switched on the television, sinking into the sofa, relishing the leisurely moments after a long day at work. Suddenly, her attention was caught by a news report.

“Could you please provide an update on Mr. Harold’s health condition? It’s been two days since he was hospitalized. Can you share any information on whether his condition has improved or worsened?”

The hospital director, clad in a white coat, politely declined the interview, stating, “As

healthcare professionals, we’re bound by doctor-patient confidentiality and can’t disclose any details.”

Disappointed reporters had congregated near the entrance of the hospital, with some even broadcasting live from the scene. The news anchor continued, “The elderly Mr. Harold remains in critical condition. It seems that a major upheaval is on the horizon for the Whitman family.”

Chloe’s hand, clutching the cola, trembled uncontrollably. The voices emanating from the TV became merely a cacophony of noise as her mind was consumed by the news she had just received. Today marked the second day of Mr. Harold’s hospitalization, indicating that he was admitted shortly after she left yesterday.

A surge of guilt washed over her, causing her throat to tighten as if filled with cotton. She blamed herself, ‘I upset Grandpa again.”

Having endured a sleepless night, Chloe sat anxiously on the sofa, awaiting the break of dawn. After much contemplation, she mustered the courage to send a message to Jonathan, seeking vital information. [I need to know the ward where Grandpa is admitted. I want to visit him.]

Knowing that the hospital staff would be reluctant to disclose such details to her, and unwilling to seek Joseph’s assistance, she had to explore other avenues.

Jonathan, aware of the strained relationship between Joseph and Chloe, responded with a biting retort, [I’m not telling you anything. If you’re brave enough, ask my cousin to go with you.]

Chloe defiantly replied, [Fine, I’ll go with your cousin. Grandpa would be delighted to see him, and I believe he stands a better chance than you of winning Grandpa’s favor.]

Shortly after, Jonathan swiftly responded with a ward number, accompanied by a contemptuous emoji, clearly expressing his disdain. Chloe patiently waited until around noon before embarking on her journey, assuming that he would likely be occupied during lunchtime.

There were not as many reporters gathered at the hospital entrance as there was last night, but there were still a considerable number of them. Chloe managed to dodge them and entered the hospital, holding onto the food she had prepared.

To visit a patient, it was necessary to register personal information at the nurse’s station. Chloe glanced ahead and noticed a handsome young man, diligently writing with a pen. She blinked her eyes in surprise and softly called out, “Noah?”
