Chapter 1289


    "Grandpa, you can''t be doing this anymore. It will affect your recovery, and as a result, you''ll have to


    extend your stay here." Jared admonished him with concern.


    ''l know, but it is just too ufortable to be in bed all the time. Besides, I didn''t make any rigorous


    movements. I just went to the window to look at the scenery outside.”


    Maximillian knew he had done something wrong and spoke with a much gentler tone than usual.


    "Mr. Chairman, just hang in there for another week, and you should be able to get out of bed after that.


    I won''t stop you from doing whatever you want after that," the doctor reassured him.


    Maximillian nodded in agreement with the doctor''s advice.


    "Doctor, how long do you think it will take for my grandfather to be discharged from the hospital given


    his current rate of recovery?" Jared asked.


    "With his current rate of recovery, I think it should be about two or three more weeks," the doctor said in


    Maximillian''s presence.


    Maximillian, who was on the bed, was happy, knowing that he could leave this boring ward soon.


    "Grandpa, you heard what the doctor just said, didn''t you? You can get out of here soon." Jared looked


    at Maximillian, happy for him.


    "I hear you." Maximillian’s face broke into a smile.


    Jared then checked his wristwatch after he had spoken to Maximillian for a long time. "Grandpa, get


    some rest. I wille back to see you some other time.”


    "Go ahead. With so much going on in the office, you won''t have toe over again until I''m


    discharged," Maximillian said.


    Jared nodded, said his goodbye, and left the hospital.

    Meanwhile, Nicole, who had arrived at the Sea View Vi, ran into Mrs. Wace Sr. as soon as she


    entered the house.


    "Why didn''t youe homest night? Where did you go?" Mrs. Wace Sr. asked.


    "Oh, I went to Jared''s house," Nicole said as she held Mrs. Wace Sr.''s by the arm.


    "Why didn''t you tell me about it?” her grandmother asked. “I was up all night, unable to sleep well."


    "It was my fault, Grandma.” Nicole said, feeling guilty for making her elderly grandmother worry.


    ‘It was Jared''s fault for getting drunk and giving me a hard timest night. Otherwise, I would have


    been home,'' she thought to herself.


    "Grandma, let''s go and take a seat on the couch," Nicole said, helping Mrs. Wace Sr. toward the


    couch. It was then that Tia came in from the garden, and when she saw that Nicole had returned, she


    hurried over. “Nicole, you''re back."


    Then she sat down beside Nicole and whispered, "You didn''t call when you couldn''t make it back home


    last night. Your grandma really couldn''t sleep, as she had spent the entire night worrying about you."


    "I know. Grandma saw me as soon as I came home." Nicole gave Tia a sheepish nce.


    "What are you two talking about?" Mrs. Wace Sr. asked.


    "Nothing. You didn''t sleep wellst night, grandma. Why don''t I help you into your bedroom now so that


    that you may catch some rest?” Nicole turned to look at Mrs. Wace Sr. with concern.


    "Okay. I''m relieved to see that you''re back, and I''m really sleepy now.’ Mrs. Wace Sr. said.


    "Let me help you." Nicole helped Mrs. Wace Sr. up walked her into her bedroom.


    After tucking her grandmother in, she walked out of the room. "Tia, don''t call me for lunch. I''m going to


    catch some sleep, too."


    Nicole had not slept well either, because she had to take care of Jaredst night. Now that she was


    home, she turned around and headed upstairs to her room.
