My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1842

It was not long before Jefferson barged into the ward.

At the sight of him, Adrienne's first concern was his leg injuries. "Jefferson, can you slow down?"

Jefferson ignored her and rushed straight to Hodge's bed. He took the old man's hand enthusiastically and called, "Grandpa, grandpa..."

Hodge pulled his hand back and frowned discontentedly. He said, "Jefferson, we aren't that close. I am not your grandpa, please don't call me that."

"Hodge..." Jefferson stretched out his hand and pulled at the corner of Adrienne's clothes, hoping that she would put in a good word for him. However, Adrienne said, "Jefferson, my grandpa is talking to you. Why are you tugging me for?"

Jefferson stared at her blankly.

This little idiot didn't know how to read social cues at all. If he couldn't get past her grandfather, what good would that do her?

Hodge glanced at Jefferson and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Come now, Jefferson sounds so formal. Just call me Jeff. You can even call me rascal if you want," said Jefferson with a grin.

Hodge replied proudly, "I wouldn't dare!"

"You're my elder. I wouldn't have any complaints even if you hit me, let alone call out my name."

"Hit you?" Hodge rolled his eyes and said, "I'm more afraid that you'll get me drunk and then beat me up."

Jefferson wiped away the sweat on his forehand. It seemed like Hodge had really misunderstood him.

He had to explain this matter to Hodge. If he didn't get past this, he could forget about marrying Adrienne into the Hefner family.

"Knock, knock-"

There was a knock on the door just then, and Adrienne said, "I'll get the door."

Adrienne walked outside and saw Britney, who pushed the door open. She poked half of her head in and said, "Excuse me, is Mr. Hodge here?" Shortly after, she spotted Adrienne. "Adrienne, you're here. I must be at the right place then."

Adrienne immediately greeted her. "Madam Yard, what brings you here?"

"I heard from Jefferson that Hodge has been hospitalized, so I came to visit him." Britney smiled and handed a bunch of bags and gifts to Adrienne. She looked into the inner room and asked, "Adrienne, can I come in to see him?"

"Of course. Please come in." Adrienne put the fruits and other gifts onto a table and led Britney into the room with a smile. "Grandpa, Madam Yard is here to see you."

Britney beamed at Hodge while she spoke, "Hodge, how are you?"

Hodge looked up at her and snorted coldly, "I'm not dying yet."

Hodge and Britney were acquaintances. Whenever they met, they kept a polite demeanor. However, Britney was now being extra friendly while Hodge was acting very distant. Adrienne felt like something was going on, but she had no idea how to bring it up.

Just as she was stuck in a tough position, Hodge added, "Adrienne, there's a shop next to the hospital that sells delicious desserts. Could you go and buy some for me?"

"Grandpa..." There must be something between them. Adrienne wanted to stay and listen to their conversation, but she couldn't go against her grandfather's request. Therefore, she nodded obediently. "Okay."

When she left, she glanced back a few times. Hodge's anger was clearly written all over his face.

As soon as she had left, Hodge's face became even darker. He didn't even bother to be polite as he said, "Mrs. Hefner, if I hadn't asked someone to pass on that message to you, I'm sure you would have never stepped into this ward."
