Yvonne was puzzled so she texted Lyn to ask why she apologized.
However, Lynette did not reply.
Yvonne did not give up and called her instead, but Lynette s phone was switched off.
Yvonne suddenly felt a little anxious.
She was obviously still texting her a second ago, but now her phone was suddenly switched off. Her behavior was clearly unusual and it was obvious that she was trying to hide something.
"Lyn..." Yvonne seemed worried about her. She squeezed her phone tightly and decided to check on Lynette at the hospital after visiting the old man.
She arrived at the nursing home while still lost in her thoughts.
When Yvonne walked into the old man's ward, she was surprised to see that Henry was there too.
Henry took the thermos bucket in her hand. "What took you so long?"
"Uh, didn't I tell you? I have a friend who came to visit at our home, so I got here late. Sorry, Grandpa," Yvonne smiled embarrassedly at the old man.
The old man waved his hand and replied calmly, "It's
okay, I understand. Have a seat."
"Thank you, Grandpa," Yvonne thanked him and grabbed a chair to sit on. She turned her gaze to Henry. "How long have you been here? Was it busy at the company?"
"I've been here for quite a while and discussed some things with Grandpa. I'm leaving soon," Henry said as he picked up the paper bag beside the old man's bed.
Yvonne stood up. "I'll see you off."
"No need," Henry refused. "You’re here to take good care of Grandpa. Call me if you need anything.”
"All right then." Yvonne sat back down again.
After Henry said goodbye to the old man, he left the ward.
The door to the ward was once shut again, and the old man looked at Yvonne with a smile. "Yvonne, my dear child, you've changed a lot recently."
"Eh?" Yvonne did not quite understand what the old man meant.
The old man tapped his finger on the railing of the hospital bed. "I heard about what went down during your meeting the woman from the Conrad family in the parking lot the other day."
Yvonne's mouth was wide open when she heard that." Y-you heard about everything?" "This nursing home is controlled by Lancasters. What can you hide from me?" the old man said.
Yvonne touched her nose embarrassedly. "I see... Sorry to disappoint you, Grandpa. I'm not the gentle granddaughter you thought I was, and now I’m..."
"No!" the old man interrupted her.
Yvonne looked at him blankly. "Why not?"
"Of course you didn't let me down. On the contrary, I'm very happy to see your changes," The old man sighed and said, "I used to worry that you were too softhearted and that you might be taken advantage of, but now I'm not worried anymore because you can protect yourself. Moreover, you also protected the Lancaster family and me, so I'm really glad to know that." 1
Yvonne's face blushed as the old man praised her. " Grandpa, these are my obligations. After all, Jacqueline's words were truly hurtful, and she even said things about you."
"I know." The old man smiled coldly, "That woman will pay for her actions sooner or later."
"I believe the day would come eventually." Yvonne's eyes were cold when she said that.
She calmed down and gave him a gentle smile." Anyway, let’s not talk about this, Grandpa. Yesterday I heard you wanted to have some chicken soup, so Sue made it especially for you today. I'll pour you some."
The old man's eyes lit up when he heard that there was chicken soup. He urged, "What are you doing then? Get me a bowl.” "Yes, yes. Right away," Yvonne laughed as she got up and opened the thermos container.
Since it had already been out for a while, the soup in the thermos was not burning hot anymore, so he could drink it immediately.
The old man took the bowl and did not even need a spoon. He drank it right out of the bowl. After drinking, he exhaled contentedly, "Sue’s still the best, unlike Frederick who stops me from eating almost everything, and everything is so bland."
"Frederick is just worried about you, just like Sue is. You had chicken soup today but you probably won't b e able to have meat for the rest of the week," Yvonne said with a smile.
