Chapter 1257 Wynter Saving Her Grandpa
“There’s no need for that.” Wynter noticed the surveillance outside the room earlier.
She had tested the soundproofing and knew that Jesslyn hadn’t heard anything. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen this time to walk in. It was obvious she wanted to listen in.
Wynter smiled faintly. “I noticed that Grandpa Reuben’s digestive system hasn’t been functioning well lately when I was taking his pulse.
“Sometimes, continuing to eat when a person hasn’t fully digested their food can actually be a burden on the body.”
Jesslyn had been with the Whitmans for many years, and every visiting doctor had always followed her scheduling instructions
But Wynter seemed oblivious to the underlying meaning of her words. And why was she calling Reuben “Grandpa Reuben“? Why didn’t she just aim for the stars with how desperate she was to climb the social ladder?
Jesslyn couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “You don’t understand Mr. Reuben’s habi-”
But just then, she was interrupted by Reuben, who spoke with a note of displeasure in his voice, “Jesslyn, listen to the doctor.
Dinner can wait.”
Reuben wondered what had gotten into Jesslyn, who had never been this inconsiderate to visitors before. Or, perhaps he had been too preoccupied with other matters over the past two years to notice the little things.
Reuben narrowed his eyes. Without needing Wynter to point it out, he had already started scrutinizing Jesslyn more closely.
Wynter observed everything silently, admiring Reuben’s sharpness. He could pick up on subtle details with just a few words. If it weren’t for his health issues, the Wray family wouldn’t have dared to be so arrogant.
But Jesslyn didn’t notice these subtleties. She was visibly taken
aback.
After all, Reuben usually seemed indifferent when facing doctors, as if he had resigned himself to his condition. Yet today, his willingness to cooperate with the treatment was the best it had
been in months!
Her main priority was to help Reuben’s body recover to the point where he could take medication. She had to at least stop him from coughing up blood.
