Her vision had almost fully recovered, so there was no longer a need for her to stay in the hospital.

The following morning, after an early breakfast, Lenora took care of her discharge procedures first, then called her driver to pick up her belongings and bring them home before heading to visit Gerald. The ward was eerily quiet.

Gerald was seated on the bed while Allison was perched on the couch. They wore expressions displeasure, intentionally avoiding each other's gaze.

of

Upon entering. Lenora immediately noticed the odd atmosphere.

"Grandpa, Grandma"-Lenora's gaze swept over the two of them-"have you had breakfast yet?"

"Yeah," the two of them responded in unison.

"What's going on? Did you guys have a fight?"

"We didn't fight. Your grandpa was simply throwing a tantrum here all by himself," Allison shot a glance at Gerald.

"Grandpa, what did you do to upset Grandma?"

"I didn't upset her..." Gerald muttered under his breath, his face wearing an expression of guilt.

"Then what's going on?"

Allison scoffed, "Nora, you be the judge. He was insistent on going home even though he hadn't fully recovered. If this isn't his way of deliberately upsetting me, then what is it?"

Gerald was rather helpless. "All I do is cat, drink, and sleep in the hospital. I might as well go home."

Gerald didn't like staying in the hospital. He had mentioned this a few days ago,

Lenora gently advised, "Grandpa, your health hasn't fully recovered yet. Wouldn't it be better to stay in the hospital for a few more days?"

"I know my own body better than anyone else. I'm already feeling better. What's the point of staying in the hospital?"

"Grandpa, your word isn't final. We need to consult the doctor."

"That won't be necessary. I know my body well," Gerald asserted, thumping his chest.

"Grandpa..."

"What are you guys talking about?"

Zachary, dressed in a suit, entered from outside, carrying a paper bag in his hand.

"Why didn't you go to the office?" Gerald asked as he regarded him with a stern gaze.

"I came to see you first." Zachary stepped forward, placed the paper bag on the table, and glanced at Lenora. "I thought you might have skipped breakfast, so I brought along some morning treats from Aroma Inn on my way here." They were all seated on the couch, but the food was placed in front of Lenora. Allison didn't bother to expose his intentions. "Your grandpa and I have already eaten. Nora, go ahead and have something to eat." "I've already eaten..."

"Then have a little more."

Lenora pulled out several packaged boxes from the paper bag. They contained a variety of food such as gnocchi, pancakes, bagels, bread, and fritters, among others.

"Grandpa, would you like some?" Lenora asked.

"No thanks. Zack, Nora, I'm fine. You don't have to visit me all the time. Just go about your business. You're not doctors. What's the use of coming here every day?" Gerald sighed in frustration. Zachary looked at Lenora in puzzlement.

Lenora said, "Grandpa wants to go home."

Gerald thought that Zachary would side with Allison. "You don't need to persuade me. I'm well aware of my health condition. It's not as serious as you all think. There are so many restrictions in the hospital. It's pretty suffocating After some thought, Zachary lowered his gaze and said, "Grandpa, we can't take your health as a joke. How) about I discuss this with Dr. Landon? If he gives his approval, I'll take you home."

Gerald was uncertain if George would agree. But without George's approval, his persistence would be futile. With a resigned wave of his hand, he said, "All right."

Zachary turned and left the ward, heading toward George's office.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

He was aware that Gerald's health was far from optimistic. Although he wanted him to stay in the hospital for treatment, he understood that the constant hospital environment could inevitably make him feel gloomy and depressed. George said, "Honestly, your grandfather's health condition is hard to reverse at this point. It might be better to respect the patient's wishes and let him rest at home. A good mood can also be beneficial for treatment. I'll provide you with a list of essential medications and equipment and have an assistant check on your grandfather's health at the Fuller residence every day."

"Sounds good."

Zachary left George's office and made his way toward the ward.

Around the corner, there were two doctors engaged in conversation.

"Ex-husband? So, they were actually together before?" remarked the doctor on the left.

"Seems likely. They must have divorced recently," hinted the doctor on the right with a knowing look.

The staff were aware that Gerald, one of the hospital's shareholders, was being hospitalized, and Zachary, the CEO of Fuller Group, was often seen coming and going.

Zachary had been embroiled in scandalous rumors. Reporters had been staking out the hospital entrance and some had even attempted to sneak into the VIP ward. The hospital had to issue a notice specifically to its staff and security personnel.

The doctor on the right recognized Lenora a few days ago as the same third party mentioned in the news as she entered Gerald's ward.

However, Lenora had instructed him not to let her ex-husband know she was pregnant.

Back then, he had the impression that Lenora's husband was a scoundrel. Little did he realize it was Zachary

The female celebrity was the real homewrecker, and the news had only come to light recently. It was likely the trigger for their divorce.

"How did you know they were married?" asked the doctor on the left.

The doctor on the right was about to respond when he saw Zachary approaching. He quickly straightened up. Mr. Fuller."

"Mr. Fuller, the doctor on the left greeted as well.

Zachary gave a subtle nod as he passed by the two of them.

Subsequently, he heard a faint sound from behind him. The doctor on the right lowered his voice and said, "Ms. Wilkin told me herself on the day she was admitted to the hospital. She mentioned that Mr. Fuller is her ex-husband. Zachary paused for a moment, then continued to move forward.

When he returned to the ward, Gerald asked, "What did George say?"

Allison and Lenora looked at Zachary.

Zachary replied, "Dr. Landon said you could go home

Brimming with confidence, Gerald glanced at Allison and Lenora. "I told you there's nothing wrong with me. I'm in great shape! You all worry for nothing."

Allison and Lenora exchanged a helpless glance.

"Can I go home now?" Gerald asked.

Zachary shook his head. "Not just yet. We need to wait until all the medical supplies and equipment listed by Dr. Landon are ready before you can go Gerald's face fell. "How long will that take?"

home."

"Just a day or two. You only have to stay here for a couple more days."

Gerald pursed his lips. "All right...

However, knowing that he would be able to return home in a couple of days, Gerald felt particularly at ease. He glanced at Lenora and Zachary and said, "You two don't need to keep me company here. Just go about your day." Zachary remained silent, his gaze shifting toward Lenora.

Lenora stood up and said. "I'll get going, then. I'll come to see you again tomorrow, Grandpa."

"All right, off you go."

Lenora walked out of the ward, with Zachary trailing behind her. "I heard from Leroy that you've been discharged?"

"Yeah."

"How are your eyes now? Is your vision still blurry?"

"I've mostly recovered. I had another check-up this morning and got cleared to discharge.

Zachary gave a slight nod. "Where are you headed now? I'll give you a ride."

"I'm going to the office."

"Aren't you going to rest for a few more days?"

"I've already wasted enough time."

With MQ's promotional period underway, her department was bustling with activity. Her phone had been ringing nonstop these past few days.

Lenora and Zachary arrived at the parking lot together.
