Chapter 1110


    "Sure, please rest well, grandpa.I''m leaving now, so I''ll pay you a visit as soon as I can," Jared said,


    after which he stood up and left the hospital.


    While he in the car, his mind was racing with the advice that his grandfather had imparted, and after a


    while, he ordered, "Bring me to the Sea View Vi, Max."


    Following a long drive, Max pulled up right outside the gates of the Sea View Vi.


    "We''ve arrived, Mr.Johnston," Max informed.


    Jared took a look at the vi and wondered, ''Should I enter or should I just sit here and look?’


    "Mr.Johnston?" a voice called out, whereupon Tia''s petite figure appeared from the mansion''s garden.


    Then, she sauntered toward Jared''s car and greeted him.


    Jared''s face was flushed with embarrassment when Tia spotted him, but he could only act as if nothing


    had happened.

    "Hi, Tia."


    "Aren''t youing in?"


    Tia looked at Jared with her head tilted.


    "Of course I am."


    Jared smiled as he stepped out of the car and mmed the door shut.


    "I''m making a move now, Mr.Johnston.Please just call me if you need me," Max said, helping him out


    with the decision by removing the other option, and that was to stay in the car.


    Jared red at Max while Tia gave the former a warm wee, "Let''s head inside, Mr.Johnston."


    "Sure, let''s go," Jared said, after which he proceeded to enter the vi with Tia.


    "Have a seat, Mr.Johnston,"


    Tia said, "I''ll get Miss Riddle toe down here."


    As Tia was sensible, Jared offered her a smile and remained silent as he sat down on the couch in the


    living room.


    He looked around, and saw that Mrs.Riddle Sr.was nowhere to be seen or heard, and so, he waited


    patiently.


    After a few minutes, Tia, who was all alone, approached him.


    "Mr.Johnston, Miss Riddle said that she was not feeling well, so she won''t being down, but I think


    you may head upstairs to check on her."


    Tia looked at Jared with a smile and a wink.


    Jared nodded at Tia, whereupon she took the hint and left.


    Then, he sat still for a while longer, thinking to himself, Wouldn''t it be even more embarrassing if I go


    upstairs and knock on her door just for her to keep me out? Oh well, I guess it''s probably better for me


    to just sit here and wait for her in the living room"


    After that, he turned the television on and watched the news.


    This continued until Nicole made her way to the lower floor to get herself a cup of water, and she was


    about to do so when she heard noises from the television in the living room.


    As soon as she walked over, her eyes met Jared''s, who happened to be looking over at the same time.


    For a moment, both of them were stunned, much like deer caught in the headlights, until Jared decided


    to sh her a smile.


    "You''re awake."


    Nicole nodded, holding a cup in her hands.


    Then, she took a seat on the couch and nced over at Jared before turning her gaze to the television.


    ‘Why is he even here? He hasn''t been sitting around, watching the news while I was asleep all this


    while, has he?"


    "Have you...been sitting here the entire time?"иσν???вσσк.￠σмNicole asked with a frown.


    "Yeah, there''s a lot going on in the news today," Jared said, using the news as a shield to avoid further


    embarrassment.


    Nicole stifled a chuckle before asking in a stern manner, "What brought you here?"


    "Nothing much, I just...came over to pay Mrs.Riddle Sr.a visit," Jared lied, unable to cast his ego aside.


    "Well, then I think you''ve already seen her," she said.


    "You may leave, now that you have nothing else to do here."


    "Sure," Jared replied, still unwilling to swallow his pride to say what he meant to say.


    The next day, Nicole went to the hospital to pay visit Mr.Johnston Sr.a visit, and because she had not


    seen him in a while, she brought him some fresh flowers.


    "I''vee to see you, Mr.Johnston Sr.," Nicole greeted after she opened the door to his ward.


    "Ah, you''re here, Nicole." Mr.Johnston Sr.set the book he was reading down and looked at Nicole, who


    was standing at the entrance.


    "Are you feeling better today?"


    "What do you mean by that?" Nicole asked, confused as to what Maximillian had meant.


    "Jared told me that you were feeling unwell after a session of horse riding. Are you feeling better


    today?"


    Mr.Johnston Sr.repeated.


    "Oh, I''m much better now," Nicole said as she thought, ''It seems that he didn''t tell Mr.Johnston Sr.about


    what had happened that day"


    "How have you been feeling these days, Mr.Johnston Sr.?" Nicole sat on his bed after she was done


    arranging the flowers.
