Chapter 397 Hospitalized
“What happened to your grandfather, Nicholas?” the Sawyer couple asked, looking worried.
Nicholas looked tense. “Still in the ER,” he answered.
Tobias and Stefania were worried sick, and Tobias chided, “You know your grandfather’s health is
declining, so why can’t you just do what he says?” He knew Remus went to see Nicholas after the
dinner, and he could guess what they talked about. The marriage.
Nicholas didn’t answer, but he was obviously repulsed by that idea.
Tobias could feel that, but he didn’t know what to say.
More sounds of footsteps could be heard, and the Stones came. They asked, “Mr. Remus was fine
earlier. Why did he faint all of a sudden?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Sawyer couple looked at each other and lied, “He’s not getting any younger. It happens.”
The Stones knew they didn’t want to elaborate, so they didn’t ask. Then they saw Nicholas, and they
gave Hayley a look. Hayley knew what they were hinting at, so she went up to Nicholas and tried to
comfort him. “It’s alright, Nicholas. Don’t worry. I believe he’ll be fine.”
Nicholas glanced at her and didn’t say anything. Hayley knew he didn’t want her to be around, and she
bit her lip. She didn’t look too happy, and neither did her family.
Stefania was about to say something, but then the ER’s door opened, and the medical staff pushed
Remus out. Everyone surrounded the doctor and asked, “How is he doing, doctor?”
The doctor answered honestly, “He’s fine. His heart isn’t too great though, so keep an eye out and don’t
anger him anymore.”
Because of what happened to Remus, Nicholas became a lot busier. He had to work during daytime and
go to the hospital at night for visits. However, what happened that night infuriated Remus, and he didn’t
want to see Nicholas.
“Tell him to leave!” Remus roared angrily.
Kieran then came out of the ward, looking resigned. “He still doesn’t want to see you, Nicholas. Why
don’t you go back and take care of Greg? I’ll handle it here.”
Nicholas’ face fell, but he agreed. He went to the hospital every day, but Remus just didn’t want to see
him.
Hayley went every day with supplements in hand. She knew it was the best time to score some brownie
points with the Sawyers, and her guess was right on the money. The Sawyers loved her for coming to
visit Remus and taking care of him every day.
Remus felt especially so. He only thought Hayley suited Nicholas at first, but now he felt some affection
for her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNicholas came to visit again tonight, but as usual, Remus didn’t want to see him. Nicholas didn’t mind.
He told Kieran to take care of Remus before he went back to his home. Once he got Gregory to sleep,
he went to his study and did his work.
A while later, Andrew came knocking. “Sir, your parents are here.”
Nicholas frowned, but he went downstairs to see them anyway. “What brings you here?” He looked at
them, who were sitting on the couch.
“Nothing. We just want to talk,” Stefania answered. She waved at him, telling him to sit.
Nicholas didn’t move, and he gazed at his mother. He had already guessed why they were here. He
didn’t manage to visit Remus because Remus didn’t want to see him, but he knew Hayley went there
every day and managed to gain the Sawyers’ affection. “If you’re here to talk about the engagement,
then forget it. I don’t want to repeat myself.”
