?<strong>Chapter 888:</strong>


    The assistant, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, nodded vigorously.


    Thankfully, by evening, yton was out of danger. The first thing he did when he woke up was look for Kallie. Kallie was sitting right there beside his bed.


    yton’s eyes lit up when he saw her.


    “Kallie…” he began.


    yton trailed off when he noticed Calvin sitting next to Kallie. Prompted by Kallie’s subtle nce, Calvin greeted yton.


    “yton, are you feeling okay? I finished school early today, so I came to the hospital with my mom to see you.”


    yton’s initial joy evaporated, but he forced a smile and patted Calvin’s head.


    “I’m fine, buddy, just a little under the weather,” he replied.


    Calvin nodded seriously.


    “You need to get better soon, yton. Elma said she is eager to meet your future girlfriend.”


    Kallie chuckled.


    “That’s true. It’s time for you to settle down.” Kallie’s words were a clear message to yton.


    yton’s grip tightened on the white bedsheet, and his eyes reddened. He wanted to question Kallie on why she treated him with such harshness despite everything he had done for her. But the sight of Calvin silenced him, a wave of resentment washing over him.


    Kallie’s children with Jake were a constant thorn in his side.


    Kallie rose from her chair and carefully adjusted yton’s quilt.


    “The doctor stressed the importance of rest, but I feel that’s not enough. I’ll arrange for some private nurses and consult a specialist about your heart condition. You were always so healthy. There’s no reason for you tonguish like this,” she said, her voiceced with concern.


    The mention of another doctor triggered a wave of anxiety in yton, causing him to cough uncontrobly.


    “There’s no need for that,” he rasped.


    Calvin shot yton a curious look.


    “yton, I understand you don’t want to be a burden, but your health is paramount. My mom’s just looking out for you. The doctors here keep hinting that something’s amiss, but with the advancements in medical technology and our vast resources, I refuse to believe there isn’t a solution out there.”


    yton red at Calvin, but he couldn’t muster a convincing counter-argument.


    “I know my own body.”


    “It’s simply not necessary,” he stated.


    Kallie nced at her watch and gently patted Calvin’s head.


    “Alright, sweetheart, you’ve been here long enough for today. I’ll have Gilbert drive you home.”


    Calvin’s brow furrowed.


    “Mom, aren’t youing home with me?” he asked, disappointment tinging his voice.


    Kallie shook her head.


    “yton needs someone to keep an eye on him. I’ll stay a little longer, but I’ll be back tonight. If you’re tired, go to bed early,” she exined.
