Chapter 2204
"Mom, let's all sit down and talk." Nicole smiled as she noticed everyone standing.
"Oh, right. Let's sit down."
Soon, they all took their seats and talked about Samuel's injury and casually chatted about other topics.
Before they knew it, time flitted by, and it was almost noon. It was only then that they remembered that Mr. Riddle
Sr. was waiting for them, so they stood up and left.
When Samuel heard that they were going back to the family manor, he instructed, "Dad, tell Grandpa that I'll be
discharged in a few days."
"Let's wait until you can actually leave the hospital before telling him," Daniel differed.
Although he knew that Samuel did not want Mr. Riddle Sr. to worry, Daniel also knew that he could not be easily
fooled, so they had to tell him the truth.
Samuel opened his mouth and issued a sigh of helplessness. He wanted to leave as well, but the doctor would not

After they had left, June could not help but comfort him when she had noted Samuel's somewhat listless
appearance. "The doctor said your injuries aren't severe, but you must rest well to avoid any complications. You
have to
follow the doctor's advice."
"I know." Samuel nodded.
However, the thought of lying down like this for a long period of time made him feel weak all over.
June shook her head with a wry smile. She then picked an orange up and started peeling it for Samuel.
"Here." June said, ready to hand the peeled orange to Samuel.
"Oops, I suddenly lost all the strength in my hands." Samuel teased her mischievously.
June glared at him, but she went on to feed him the orange slice after slice anyway. Samuel ate it with a beaming
smile on his face, and even reminded June to eat some herself too.
The two of them went on to have more interactions in a sweet and affectionate manner, creating a particularly
warm atmosphere in the room.
On the other hand, Nicole, Daniel, and Gloria had arrived at the family manor.
"Father."
"Grandpa."
Upon seeing the group's arrival, Mr. Riddle Sr. nodded." You're all back."
"Yes, we just came from the hospital," Daniel replied as they took a seat on the couch.
"How is Samuel?" Mr. Riddle Sr. asked with his brows arched.
After giving his father a brief update, Daniel reassured Mr. Riddle Sr., and said, "He just needs some rest to recover.
Dad. Don't worry."
"Well, let him rest properly then." Mr. Riddle Sr. paused for a moment. "By the way, it's about time he settles the
marriage and returns to the company."
"Dad..." Daniel hesitated.
He could agree to other things but not Samuel returning to the company. Even if he did not object to it, Samuel
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwould never agree to it.
"Can he play basketball for his whole life?" Mr. Riddle Sr.'s forehead became even more creased.
At a loss for what to say now, Daniel turned to look at Nicole.
Nicole found it amusing as she knew what everyone wanted her to do.
"Grandpa," Nicole called out to Mr. Riddle Sr. and directly addressed the issue. "Regarding basketball, let's leave the
decision to Samuel."
If Samuel wanted it, everyone should support him. But if Samuel did not want to do it, it would never be too late for
him to return to the company.
Mr. Riddle Sr.'s eyes darkened as he said, "The situation is complicated right now, and having more people around
will help you put my mind at ease.”
After much consideration, Nicole decided that it would be best for Nicole to lean on her elder brothers for help,
which would be much more reliable and comforting.
Hearing this, a warm feeling surged within Nicole. 'Grandpa is just considering me and the company's interests.'
With a smile on her lips, Nicole playfully said, "Oh Grandpa, if you really care about me and my brothers, please
respect our decisions, hmm? Samuel really doesn't need to return to the company."
