After a brief argument between the grandfather and grandson, Kelvin rubbed his throbbing head and casually asked, "Grandpa, where is she?"
Old Mr. Foley stood with his hands behind his back. "She? Who?"
Kelvin's lips twitched. He weakly replied, "Cheyenne Lawrence."
In the next moment, he received a knock on the head from old Mr. Foley who was muttering under his breath. "You call her by her full name? She's your wife! Do you remember it?"
Kelvin wanted to argue back since they had divorced, but stopped himself when memories of his recent nightmares flooded into his mind - Cheyenne becoming Sam's bride.
His pupils dilated as he swallowed back all the words he wanted to say and answered in a muffled tone, "Mm."
Old Mr. Foley had planned to spend more time convincing Kelvin to win Cheyenne back but unexpectedly got a sure answer from him.
He suddenly realized that if anything had happened between them while they were alone together in wilderness for long.
He put his hand on Kelvin's shoulder like an intimate buddy before leaning over to whisper, "Kelvin, have you made any progress with Cheyenne?"
Kelvin refused to answer him directly and gave him a cold stare instead. "Grandpa, you're so nosy."
"Humph! You brat!"
Half an hour later, old Mr. Foley assisted Kelvin towards Cheyenne's ward, only to find it empty without anyone present inside.
Where was she?
Old Mr. Foley panicked; just this morning he saw Cheyenne…he quickly grabbed hold of a passing nurse and asked, "Hello, I would like to ask where Miss Cheyenne Lawrence in this hospital room went. Do you know?"
The young nurse was initially annoyed, but upon seeing Kelvin's handsome face, a blush crept up her cheeks and her voice softened.
In a gentle tone, she replied, "Miss Lawrence's boyfriend just helped her with the discharge procedures. He said there was an emergency at home and they had to leave."
"Boyfriend?"
Old Mr. Foley's face froze as he wondered if it was Mr. Lara or Master Iker who took Cheyenne away.
Kelvin's expression didn't fare any better as his large hand clenched into a fist beneath his hospital gown.
Since when did Cheyenne have a boyfriend? But Kelvin didn't miss the other important piece of information the nurse mentioned.
"There was an emergency at home!"
What kind of emergency? Despite feeling uneasy about Cheyenne leaving without considering her health condition, Kelvin immediately got up and headed towards the hallway leading to the lobby.
Old Mr. Foley stomped his cane in frustration behind him and yelled out: "Where are you going?"
"To be discharged and back to Akloit."
"How can that be? You just woke up from your coma; it's not good for you to leave yet."
