My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1735

"Get down first. I'll find a place to park the car and I'll come right over." Jefferson stopped the car in front of the hospital gate. His voice was unexpectedly gentle, but Adrienne didn't notice at all. She got out of the car and quickly ran inside.

In the past, she would visit her grandfather at least twice a week. Recently, since she had been caught up with Jefferson, she hadn't been able to visit her grandfather in the past two weeks. That was why she was not aware that he had fallen ill.

Adrienne angrily slapped her own forehead. He was the only family she had left. Had she not learnt her lesson from the past? She should cherish him while he was alive.

Adrienne arrived at her grandfather's ward with her heart full of guilt. However, before she went in, she heard his laughter ringing from the room. "Okay, okay, okay. I'll listen to you, young man." It sounded like he was doing well and wasn't ill at all.

Adrienne pushed the door open and went into the room. "Grandpa..."

Before she could finish her words, she saw Zelson by her grandfather's bed. "Mr... Mr. Zelson. Why are you here?"

Zelson turned back and glanced at Adrienne. He avoided her gaze and answered, "I called Mr. Hodge earlier and heard he was sick. So, I came over to pay him a visit."

"Adrienne, you're here." Hodge smiled and waved his hand. "Come here quickly. Come and let Grandpa take a good look at you."

Adrienne had a confused expression. "Grandpa, how do you two know each other?"

"Before Zelson went to study abroad, he studied with your mother for two years. Even after your mother's passing, we kept in touch. So, he came to see me."

"Oh." Adrienne had no idea Zelson knew her mother so well. Was that why Zelson had been so kind to her?

"Adrienne, sit down quickly. I need to talk to you about something." Hodge patted the back of her hand gently. "I usually don't notice it but now that you're here, I can see that you're all grown up."

Adrienne pulled the quilt up and covered Hodge with it. "Grandpa, if you have something to say, go ahead. I'm listening."

Hodge looked at Adrienne and turned his eyes to Zelson. After looking him up and down for a while, he said, "Do you remember the talented young man I mentioned to you a few days ago?"

"Grandpa..." Adrienne thought that he had mentioned it casually and he probably already forgot about it. Unexpectedly, he brought it up again in front of an outsider, making her feel a little awkward.

Zelson didn't talk much, but he was very mindful. "Mr. Hodge, you two talk first. I'll go get some water."

"Alright." Hodge watched as Zelson left. After a while, he withdrew his gaze. "What do you think of Mr. Zelson? Tell me the truth. You can't lie to me."

"Mr. Zelson is nice. He is young, good-looking, talented, and well-mannered. He has never misused his powers over others just because he is more experienced." Speaking of Zelson, Adrienne really thought he was excellent, especially when compared to Jefferson, the arrogant b*stard.

Hodge's face lit up. "So you agree?"

Adrienne was at a loss. "Grandpa, what do you mean I agree?"
