My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1819

In this modern age, news traveled quickly. Before news could even be officially reported, it would already be spread all over the world through the internet.

Newspapers were becoming obsolete. It used to be an important means of communication decades ago and anyone who could afford it was considered wealthy.

Adrienne didn't pay much attention to the news in the papers. She had already seen the news on her phone, so to her, newspapers were just old news. But since Hodge was an old man, he didn't really know how to use his smartphone. Hence, Adrienne patiently read all the interesting news articles for him to hear.

She knew Hodge was interested in world news, therefore she picked an article that she felt he would like. "Grandpa, another satellite was successfully launched by satellite base No.1 last night."

"I heard about that on the radio." Hodge waved his hand and interrupted, "I was in the middle of reading a piece on murder earlier and I haven't finished reading it yet. Read it for me."

Adrienne turned to the back of the newspaper, and sure enough, there was an article on murder. Coincidentally, it was the case of the murder at the bar. "Grandpa, it's not good to listen to this stuff at this hour in the night. I'd better read you something else." "Adrienne, you're a forensic doctor. I know you're not really on the frontlines much, so it is not as dangerous as being on the criminal police team or the narcotics team. Even so, you can't be careless. You must pay attention to your own safety at all times." Hodge didn't like focusing on gory crimes, but Adrienne was in this line of work after all. He had to understand it somehow so that he could know what she did for a living.

"I know." Adrienne smiled and added, "Grandpa, you like politics. I'll read that for you instead."

Hodge nodded as he finally gave in, "Okay."

Adrienne's voice softened after getting Hodge's permission. She read it gently in a professional story-telling tone.

Her voice was emotional and soothing to listen to. Hodge started feeling sleepy. He sighed in a daze, "Adriene, I'm worried about you."

"Grandpa, I know." Adrienne knew that Hodge was worried about her. In fact, she didn't want

him to be worried about her, but at the same time, she wished he could always be there to care for her.

Seeing that Hodge had fallen asleep, Adrienne put the newspaper down. She helped Hodge lie down properly and tucked him in. After making sure he wouldn't kick the blanket off and get a cold, she exited the ward.

After coming out of the ward, Adrienne went to the counter to inform them about Hodge's condition and requested them to take note of his health.

It was almost 10 p.m. by the time she was done.

Adrienne walked out of the hospital and hailed a cab.

There were a lot of people returning home at this time in Chatterton Town. Typically, it would take around half an hour just to get a ride.

Perhaps she was in luck, as soon as she tried to hail a cab, a taxi stopped steadily beside her. She quickly got into the car and gave the driver her home address.

Hodge was getting older and weaker day by day. As soon as she thought about the fact that he could be gone any day, her heart ached.

What about Jefferson?

Where could he be?

If she did not find any new clues soon, she was going to have a breakdown.

Along the way, Adrienne was occupied with thoughts about Hodge and Jefferson. She didn't even notice when the taxi started taking a different route.

By the time she noticed that something was wrong, the car had already driven out of the bustling urban area. They were on the highway, headed towards a neighbouring city.

"Oh, no!" Adrienne secretly uttered a cry in her heart but she tried her best to stay calm.
