NovelEnglishChapter 244 Before I could introduce them to each other, Jerjumped up and said, "Fancy meeting you here, Mr. Grant. I was just thinking of paying you a visit." I knew Jerdid not have a filter when he spoke, so I stood up and interrupted, just in case he blurted out snonsense. "How're things with Doctor Lynch?" "He's fine. The operation went well, we're just waiting for him to wake up," Theo answered my question, but his eyes were hostile as his gaze scanned Jerome.
Jerwas a psychologist with amazing skills at understanding body language, so when he saw what was happening, he said, "Don't misunderstand, Mr. Grant. I have nothing to do with your wife. We've known each other for ten years, so to me, she's a brother." I...
Jerwas so blunt that the expression on Theo's face was becoming slightly unnatural. He retracted his glare and looked at Cecilia. "The doctor said that your wounds aren't too deep, so you can be discharged in two days." Theo was normally aloof toward outsiders, and he would rarely make conversation. Thus, he rarely showed concern for someone of his own accord. I was a little surprised to hear all those words cout of his mouth. Cecilia was equally surprised. She was first stunned before saying, "Okay, thank you." Suddenly, it was awkward for everyone in the ward and silence filled the air. Only Jerwas unbothered as he stared at Theo intently.
Perhaps Jerome's gaze was too intruding, Theo was slightly displeased and shot Jera look. Then, he looked atand said, "I'll arrange for someone to take care of Cecilia. Followhfirst, we'll cback tomorrow." "No, I'll stay back and take care of her." I insisted.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Wanda, go back with President Grant. I have nothing planned, and it's not good for a pregnant lady like you to stay in the hospital. You'll just makeworried," Cecilia replied quickly.
After giving it sthought, it seemed that she was right. It would only be more burdensfor Cecilia if I stayed with her since she would have to worry aboutdespite being injured. I nodded and said, "Okay, you rest well, then. I'll make you something to eat tomorrow." Since Theo said that he had already arranged for a caretaker, I trusted him.
After a few last reminders for Cecilia, all of us left the ward together. As soon as we were out in the corridor, Jerasked Theo, "Do you have time, President Grant? There's something that I'd like to talk to you about." "What is it?" Theo looked at him, his gaze was cold and his voice was emotionless.
"It's regarding your wife, of course! What other common conversation topics do we have?" Jerome's eyes sparkled as he intentionally signaled Theo.
Fortunately, Theo did not pay any attention to him, or he would misunderstand that Jerwas trying to flirt with him.
I held my forehead and quickly said, "We've made plans, Jerome, so tonight is a no-go. Next time, we'll treat you to a meal. You can go back now!" "What? Wanda, what do you mean? You askedto call the way here and now you wanna run away?" Jerglared at me, displeasure evident on his face.
"No, I'm just really tired today. I wanna go hand rest. Can we talk about this sother day?" I was really worried that this chatterbox would just blabber about my lack of libido to Theo.
The mental image of two grown men talking about such a sensitive topic right beforewas... too much for me. "Okay, you can head hfirst. I'll talk to your husband since there can only be progress if we talk to him about it," Jeranswered nonchalantly, disregarding my embarrassment altogether.
"What is it that you want to tell me?" Theo was confused when he saw how adamant Jerwas.
"Your wife is sick. I'm sure you know that, right?" Jerignored my signals and dished it out right away.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yeah, I'm aware." Theo regained his usual cold composure. He had a look on his face that meant to show he was already long aware of it.
If I could dig a hole in the ground and hide in it, I would.
Jerwas taken aback. "So why aren't you seeking treatment for her? The longer you drag it out, the messier it gets. Don't you know that?" "I'm getting her the best expert who'll be in Whatdolf City in a few days." Theo was rarely so patient as he gave a reply.
What?
Something was not right. I did not think that they were both on the m sfrequency. The sickness that Theo was talking about was not the sas the one Jerwas talking about.
The elevator door opened, and Theo pulledinto the elevator. Jerfollowed us in and said, "This is an kind of illness that even experts would not have a treatment plan for. It requires special methods. Why don't you spare stand bring her overseas? I know a professional who does research on this." X
