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…”

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 a 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

“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

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
