Craving 38

Chapter3B 

Chapter38 

Inside the room, Ellsworth was looking at Kelsey, who was 

already asleep in bed. He said, “It’s nothing” 

Ellsworth!! 

Standing outside the door, Harriet was instantly shocked. She 

hadn’t expected to run into Ellsworth here. No wonder he’d 

been coming home late these days-so Kelsey was sick. 

It was as if her legs were filled with lead as she stood at the 

door, watching Ellsworth care deeply about Kelsey’s condition, 

watching him listen intently to Alicia. 

That kind of seriousness had never happened with her. 

Finally, she saw Ellsworth, in front of Alicia, slowly lean down 

toward Kelsey. 

It looked like he was kissing her. 

Lowering her gaze, Harriet’s eyelashes trembled. 

She turned and walked away quietly, without a sound. 

Chapter38 

Back in the hospital room, Harriet couldn’t sleep at all. She sat 

by the bed, resting her face in her palm, staring at Ralph, and 

found herself thinking of Ellsworth again and again. 

Holding Ralph’s hand, Harriet massaged his fingers. Suddenly, 

the door to the hospital room was pushed open. 

Harriet looked up and saw Ellsworth coming in. She was 

instantly stunned. 

Even more stunned than before. 

Kicking her chair back as she stood up, Harriet quickly got to 

her feet and asked him in surprise, “Why are you here?” 

At this moment, Harriet truly hadn’t expected Ellsworth to 

come. She hadn’t told him about her grandfather’s illness. 

With both hands in his pockets, Ellsworth’s expression 

remained indifferent in response to Harriet’s reaction. 

He had just received a call from Johnathan, who told him that 

Harriet’s grandfather had fainted at home that afternoon and 

was now in the hospital. 

Chapter38 

As soon as Ellsworth heard this, his expression immediately 

darkened. 

He hadn’t known. No one had told him about it. 

Later, when he called home to ask, it turned out that everyone else already knew, everyone had come to visit, except for him-it was Johnathan who finally told him. 

Ellsworth looked rather upset. Harriet glanced down at Ralph, then quickly reported to him, “Grandpa is fine. He woke up this afternoon, all the tests are done, and he’s just sleeping now. There’s nothing to worry about, you can go take care of your 

own things.” 

She knew Ellsworth wouldn’t be worried about Ralph; she was 

just being polite. 

Judging by his expression, he was probably annoyed that 

someone had told him, and now he had to take time away from 

Kelsey to come here. 

Forget it. 

He should just hurry back to Kelsey. If Grandpa woke up and 

saw how reluctant he was, it would only make him feel worse. 

Chapter38 

Entering the hospital room, Ellsworth glanced at Harriet 

indifferently and said, “It’s late at night, what am I supposed to be busy with?” 

Harriet just looked at Ellsworth, taking in his indifference. 

She looked at him for a while, but didn’t call him out on it. She simply said coolly, “Then have a seat.” 

With that, she sat back down herself. 

She hadn’t called him over, but she couldn’t be bothered to 

argue with him. 

If he wanted to show her a bad attitude, so be it. There wouldn’t 

be many more days like this anyway. 

Harriet ignored him, and Ellsworth assumed she was blaming him for coming late, which only made him more frustrated. 

It was she who hadn’t told him what was going on. 

Pulling out the chair opposite Harriet, Ellsworth sat down 

without a word. He didn’t play with his phone either, just 

looked at Harriet with a cold expression. 

Chapter 38 

Harriet didn’t look at him. She continued to hold Ralph’s hand, 

silently watching over him. 

She was no longer like before, when being alone with Ellsworth 

would make her nervous and she would focus all her attention 

on him. 

The hospital room was very quiet. 

After a long silence, Ellsworth finally spoke in a low voice, 

“Why didn’t you tell me?” 

Even though their marriage wasn’t good, with Ralph in the 

hospital, she still should have told him so he could come to the 

hospital in time. 

At Ellsworth’s question, Harriet turned to look at him, not quite 

understanding what he meant. 

She looked at him for a moment, then understood what he was 

referring to and said, “Oh.” 

She added, “When I got here, Grandpa was already awake. It 

didn’t seem serious, so I didn’t tell you.” 

When she texted him, he didn’t reply. When she called, he 

didn’t answer. How was she supposed to tell him? 

Chapter38 

Should she call Noel and have Noel pass on the message? Ask 

him to come see Grandpa? 

Forget it. 

They were about to get divorced anyway; there was no need to 

go out of her way and make herself unwelcome. 

These thoughts, Harriet only kept to herself and didn’t say out 

loud.
