Chapter 1841


    Of course, Jefferson knew that as well. He was trying to think of a way to get into Hodge''s good


    graces. But if Hodge really believed that Jefferson had tricked Adrienne into marrying him, Hodge


    would definitely be furious. He said hurriedly, "Mom, what are we waiting for? Let''s go to the hospital


    quickly."


    However, Britney was taken aback by his sentence. "Mr. Hodge is hospitalized? Since when?"


    "It''s been quite some time now." Jefferson massaged his forehead. "That''s not the point right now.


    We have to think of a way to make sure he doesn''t believe in those rumors."


    "He''s been hospitalized and I''m only finding out about this now? s, you''re not the only one who''s


    made him mad. As an inw, I''ve not done a good job either..." Britney changed her tone and said,


    "Since you dared to do the despicable, you''d better be prepared for other people to learn about it.


    The matter hasn''t gotten that bad yet. Get yourself ready, let''s meet at the hospital."


    "Okay." Jefferson hung up and immediately dialed Adrienne''s number. After a few rings, the phone


    was connected. He said, "Where have you gone to so early in the morning?"


    "It''s almost noon, what are you talking about? Are you living in a different time zone?" Adrienne''s


    soft voice sounded through the speaker, but she ignored Jefferson''s question. Jefferson shouted


    discontentedly, "Little Specky, do you understand what was the main point of my question?"


    "Aren''t you reprimanding me for going out too early?"


    The corner of his mouth twitched in annoyance. "I''m asking you, where are you right now?"


    "At the hospital," Adrienne answered.


    "Are you ill? Why didn''t you tell me? Who''s going to take care of you if you go to the hospital


    alone?" As soon as he heard that she was at the hospital, Jefferson instantly assumed that she had


    gotten hurt. While still on the call, he walked into the changing room and changed his clothes


    quickly. He said, "Which hospital are you at? I will head over right now."


    "I''m fine..."


    Before Adrienne could finish her words, Jefferson shouted, "Why did you go to the hospital if you''re


    fine? Don''t you know I will be worried if you go to the hospital alone?"


    "Can''t you just be worried like a normal person? Why do you have to yell?" Adrienne didn''t know if


    she should be mad that he was shouting at her, or touched that he cared about her. "If you care


    about me, say it nicely. Otherwise, how am I supposed to know you''re asking out of concern?"


    "Cut the nonsense. Why are you at the hospital?"


    "I''m asking the doctor about your injury and getting more medicine for you."


    It turned out that she had gone out so early in the morning for him. The next second, Jefferson felt a


    warm current rippling in his heart, and his voice was immediately lowered. "Which hospital are you


    at?"


    Adrienne whispered, "The hospital my grandpa is staying in. I nned to get your medicine and


    also visit him. How convenient, right?"


    At the mention of Hodge, Jefferson suddenly remembered what had happened. He asked, "Little


    Specky, did you say something to the Hodge that you shouldn''t have told him?"


    "I am not stupid. Why would I tell him about your injury?" Adrienne pouted and said, "Don''t worry.


    My grandpa has a good impression of you."

    "It''s not about that. It''s about our marriage,"


    Jefferson replied.


    "Oh... You know?" "You..." Jefferson felt his temples throb as he sighed, "Little idiot, I have no words


    for you. You''re an adult. Shouldn''t you know what you can say and what you can''t?"


    "Based on your tone, it seems like you don''t want me to tell my grandpa that we''ve already gotten


    married. If that''s the case, why did you try so hard to get him to like you?" Adrienne felt extremely


    wronged. Jefferson had been the one who said he liked her and that he wanted to spend the rest of


    his life with her. Yet, he didn''t want to hold a wedding ceremony with her nor tell her grandfather that


    they were married.


    Why was Jefferson being such a j*rk?


    Jefferson wondered if they were talking about two different things judging by the sound of her


    aggrieved voice. He continued to ask, "Who said I don''t want you to tell him about our marriage? I


    just want to know what you told him."


    Although Adrienne was extremely dissatisfied with Jefferson''s behavior, she still gave him an


    exnation. "What else could I tell him? I told him that we''ve already signed and registered for a


    marriage certificate. He wasn''t surprised at all though."


    "Did you tell him why we got married?"


    "Yes, I did."


    "You..." Jefferson took a deep breath to calm himself. This little idiot would be the death of him. Just


    then, he heard her say, "I told him that it was because you have been secretly in love with me for


    many years, that''s why I agreed to marry you to make you happy. It''s so odd though. I didn''t even


    know you liked me, but my grandpa could tell. How do you think he knew?"


    "Only an idiot like you can''t see through anything." In that case, she hadn''t brought up the drunken


    incident in front of Hodge at all. How on earth did thetter know about it then?


    Jefferson just couldn''t figure it out. "You should go and spend time with your grandpa. I''ll be right


    over."


    Adrienne stopped him and said, "Your leg is injured, don''t run around. I''ll just visit my grandpa for a


    while and thene home to take care of you."


    However, as she spoke, she realized that Jefferson had already hung up. Adrienne couldn''t help but


    roll her eyes, muttering under her breath, "B*stard, can''t he at least consider my feelings?"


    If it weren''t for the fact that Jefferson had shot himself for her sake, she would''ve doubted whether


    he truly liked her or not.


    After putting away the phone, Adrienne took a deep breath and then pushed open the door of the


    ward. "Grandpa, let me read the newspaper for you today."


    Hodge waved his hand and said, "No need."


    "Grandpa, I haven''t finished reading it yet. Why don''t you want me to continue?"


    Hodge reached out to rub her head and asked, "Was it that rascal who called you?"


    Adrienne nodded, "Yes."


    "If I didn''t know that he genuinely likes you, I would have skinned him alive by now."


    "Grandpa, how did he get on your bad side again?"


    "He has been on my bad side for a long time."


    Adrienne was confused. "But, didn''t you tell mest time that you were quite happy about my


    marriage? Howe your feelings have changed to hatred in one day''s time?"


    In the past, Hodge would sigh whenever she mentioned Jefferson, and he would criticize him here


    and there. However, he had never gnashed his teeth when he spoke about him as he had just done.


    It was as if Jefferson hadmitted a dire mistake.


    Hodge answered, "I have a love- hate rtionship with him. Don''t lie to me. I know that sometimes


    you feel like you can''t live without him, but other times you wished he would just disappear from


    your life."


    Adrienne was rendered speechless.


    She thought that her grandpa was God-like for being able to clearly read such a subtle feeling in her


    heart.
