    Chapter 326 She Had Upset Grandpa Once Again


    Jane haughtily lifted her chin and dered, “Someone as insignificant as you wouldn’t understand. I


    know the vice president of Cloude Hospital. Of course, I can find out about something like this.”


    Based on Jane’s demeanor, it seemed unlikely that she was lying. However, if they were to assume it


    was true, there were numerous unexinable aspects such as why would Xavia have kept this


    information hidden from Joseph. Considering her current physical condition, pregnancy entailed


    significant risks. Also, why had she chosen to go to Cloude City? There weren’t many tourist attractions


    in that small town.


    At that very moment, a young couple strolled past them.

    “I’ve already told you. I can’t get an abortion if I’m already six months pregnant. Are you trying to avoid


    paying the dowry?” the girl eximed.


    “No, sweetheart. We will get married eventually, I promise I’ll earn enough to pay the dowry


    in the future.

    As Chloe observed the young couple as they slowly disappeared from sight. A momentary spark of


    inspiration ignited within her, though it slipped away before she could fully seize it. Beside her, Icarus,


    who had been silent, revealed a fleeting glimmer of curiosity in his eyes.


    On their way back, Chloe received an urgent call from an employee, informing her about a problem at


    the project site. It appeared that the safety measures had not been properly implemented, resulting in


    someone falling from an upper floor.


    Without hesitation, Chloe hurried to the scene to address the situation. Thankfully, the injuries were not


    severe, and the patient’s condition stabilized. It was crucial for the injured to rest and take proper care


    of their body for aplete recovery.


    After offering sce to the workers, providing appropriatepensation, and resolving at multitude of


    issues, the night had already grownte. The ongoing project, originally initiated. by Benjamin in the


    tourism industry, had a deadline set forpletion in the following


    month.


    Chloe reached into the refrigerator and grabbed a bottle of c, savoring the refreshing taste of the


    cool carbonated water that provided a much-needed respite from her fatigue. She switched on the


    television, sinking into the sofa, relishing the leisurely moments after a long day at work. Suddenly, her


    attention was caught by a news report.


    “Could you please provide an update on Mr. Harold’s health condition? It’s been two days since he was


    hospitalized. Can you share any information on whether his condition has improved or worsened?”


    The hospital director, d in a white coat, politely declined the interview, stating, “As


    healthcare professionals, we’re bound by doctor-patient confidentiality and can’t disclose any details.”


    Disappointed reporters had congregated near the entrance of the hospital, with some even


    broadcasting live from the scene. The news anchor continued, “The elderly Mr. Harold remains in


    critical condition. It seems that a major upheaval is on the horizon for the Whitman family.”


    Chloe’s hand, clutching the c, trembled uncontrobly. The voices emanating from the TV became


    merely a cacophony of noise as her mind was consumed by the news she had just received. Today


    marked the second day of Mr. Harold’s hospitalization, indicating that he was admitted shortly after she


    left yesterday.


    A surge of guilt washed over her, causing her throat to tighten as if filled with cotton. She med


    herself, ‘I upset Grandpa again.”


    Having endured a sleepless night, Chloe sat anxiously on the sofa, awaiting the break of dawn. After


    much contemtion, she mustered the courage to send a message to Jonathan, seeking vital


    information. [I need to know the ward where Grandpa is admitted. I want to visit him.]


    Knowing that the hospital staff would be reluctant to disclose such details to her, and unwilling to seek


    Joseph’s assistance, she had to explore other avenues.


    Jonathan, aware of the strained rtionship between Joseph and Chloe, responded with a biting retort,


    [I’m not telling you anything. If you’re brave enough, ask my cousin to go with you.]


    Chloe defiantly replied, [Fine, I’ll go with your cousin. Grandpa would be delighted to see him, and I


    believe he stands a better chance than you of winning Grandpa’s favor.]


    Shortly after, Jonathan swiftly responded with a ward number, apanied by a contemptuous emoji,


    clearly expressing his disdain. Chloe patiently waited until around noon before embarking on her


    journey, assuming that he would likely be upied during lunchtime.


    There were not as many reporters gathered at the hospital entrance as there wasst night, but there


    were still a considerable number of them. Chloe managed to dodge them and entered the hospital,


    holding onto the food she had prepared.


    To visit a patient, it was necessary to register personal information at the nurse’s station. Chloe nced


    ahead and noticed a handsome young man, diligently writing with a pen. She blinked her eyes in


    surprise and softly called out, “Noah?”
