    Chapter 286 A Grandfather’s Concerns


    Amused by Wynter’s concerns, Fabian burst outughing and beckoned her over. “Come here, Wynter.


    Look at what I prepared for you! Your favorite cinnamon rolls from when you were little!


    “As for your brothers, they’re tough and have their own careers. Besides, they were ecstatic when they


    heard you’ve been found. If they have any pride at all, they won’t go after anything that belongs to


    you.”


    “What Mr. Quinnell said is true. I can vouch for it,” Alexis chimed in suitably. “Now that Mr. Elliot is


    awake, he insists on seeing Ms. Quinnell in person. He would have pulled the IV needle out of his arm


    if the doctor hadn’t stopped him.”


    Fabian nodded. “Elliot would have it no other way than for you to have thepany, Wynter. He


    always loved giving you piggyback rides when you were kids. As for Tobias, he’s been taking on more


    movie roles to make up a hefty dowry for you.”


    “Grandpa,” Wynter began as she handed Fabian a ss of warm water. “We can save this for some


    other time. Your health is more important than anything else right now. It’s time to take your


    medicine.”


    Fabian was more than happy to take his medicine now that Wynter was the one feeding it to him. She


    was thoughtful enough to bring


    him candy afterward too.


    She also took the time to make lunch. She had made two portions- one for Fabian, and one for a


    certain beautiful patient of hers.

    Fabian never thought he would one day loathe to see Dalton,


    considering all the time he had spentuding the young man with praise. In all fairness, he had thought


    Dalton was very well-


    aplished.


    But that was no longer the case. Dalton was an eyesore to him now.


    “If you’re here, then who’s running yourpany?” Fabian asked


    pointedly, making it clear that Dalton was not wee here.


    Dalton took out his Bluetooth earpiece and answered politely, “Don’t


    worry, Grandpa, I’ve got a bunch of managers at thepany who are


    more than capable of handling things in my absence.”


    He had even dropped all formalities and addressed Fabian as


    Grandpa”!

    Fabian glowered at Dalton and set a ck chess piece down forcefully. “I distinctly remember someone


    telling me that his poor health would hinder a youngdy’s bright future. He told me that it’s probably in


    my little princess’ best interests that he didn’t choose her.”


    “Well, Wynter’s been taking good care of me these days.” Dalton’s smile did not falter, and he looked


    unfazed in his immacte suit as he picked up a white chess piece. “I’m feeling much better now.”


    Fabian’s eyes widened at the young man’s obvious bragging.


    Wynter stumbled upon this scene just as she returned with her stethoscope.


    She recalled Fabian being friendlier to Dalton during their previous chess games. But now, the former


    appeared to be harboring some grudge against thetter.

    She shot Dalton a look as if to ask, “Did you piss Grandpa off?”


    Dalton shook his head and chuckled, his gold-framed sses adding a regal edge to his features.


    To Fabian, Dalton and Wynter’s unspoken exchange came off as


    flirting. He sighed and relented. There was no point in taking jabs at the young man if Wynter liked him


    so much.


    Nheless, Fabian did not beat around the bush.


    He moved another chess piece and said to Dalton, “I’ll be handing


    Quinnell Corporation to Wynter once we return to Kingbourne. I don’t


    want to hear anyone saying Wynter isn’t good enough for you,


    considering you’ve turned down a marriage alliance with our family


    once.”


    This was a warning to Dalton and a reminder that the Yarwoods had better prepare to wee Wynter


    into their lives.


    Dalton squared his shoulders and said solemnly, “I promise I’ll protect


    Wynter at all costs, Grandpa. Don’t worry, I’ve never been one to go easy on gossipmongers.”


    It was only after hearing this that Fabian was appeased. “Your


    grandfather…”


    Dalton said, “My grandfather has already met her. He likes her a lot,


    and he’s impressed that she’s so well-versed in medicine. He believes


    she will go far in the future. In his words, Wynter is giving me a run for


    my money.”


    Dalton was speaking the truth. Thep had been asking about Wynter,


    and Dalton’s only concern was that the old man might scare Wynter

    off.


    Fabianughed wholeheartedly. “Your grandfather has good judgment. I ought to have a drink with him


    when I go back to Kingbourne.”


    “He would be delighted.” Dalton smiled. Despite his penchant for dark


    humor, he tried his best to win Fabian over.


    He hadn’t realized that Wynter had raised her brow in amusement


    when she heard what he said.
