Mrs. Harper hung up the phone, gave her hands a good rub, and turned to Hannah with a smile,
"Go, give the young master a call. Tell him to come home and have dinner with me."
"Sure, ma'am."
Hannah answered with a laugh, then turned around and sauntered off.
Since she was going for a visit, Chloe decided to change into a different outfit out of courtesy.
The outfit was picked out by Rose and was brand new. But after all these days in the hospital, Chloe realized she hadn't taken a proper shower.
As she contemplated this, she furrowed her brow.
Just as she was hesitating, there was a knock on the door.
"Ms. Summers, the old lady sent me to pick you up." Nate said.
"Alright, give me a sec!" Chloe quickened her pace.
She followed Nate through the same path she took the last time she met Mrs. Harper.
There was a door in the fence she hadn't noticed before.
Nate opened the door and let her go through first.
Only a fence separated the hospital from the park, which surprised Chloe.
The large trees around the yard, neatly pruned plants, and orderly flower beds were impressive.
Even though Chloe didn't know much about gardening, she knew a perfectly arranged landscape like this must have been designed by a top-notch gardener.
It was a low-key yet exquisite residence.
"Is this where Mrs. Harper lives?" Chloe asked.
"Yes." Nate answered.
Chloe couldn't help but turn around to look at the hospital building, which wasn't far away but now only visible through the gaps between trees.
"This is a shortcut. Mrs. Harper often feels lonely, so she had a door made here. Sometimes she comes to the hospital park to chat."
Nate led her into the mansion, explaining as they crossed the small path in the middle of the greenery.
