Chapter37Â
Harriet took the reports and documents, completely confused.Â
Why did Grandpa’s reports and admission documents end upÂ
with him?Â
At this moment, Deloris explained to Harriet, “Miss, we really have to thank Mr. Kenneth today. If he hadn’t arrived in time, Sir Chavez might have been in real danger. After we got to the hospital, Mr. Kenneth handled all the paperwork. Otherwise, if it were up to me, I would have been too flustered to manage itÂ
all.”Â
Listening to Deloris’s explanation, Harriet held the reports and documents, looked at Kenneth, and said, “Thank you, Ken.”Â
As she spoke, she quickly pulled out the chair beside her andÂ
invited him, “Ken, have a seat.””Â
Kenneth put his hands back in his pockets, looked down atÂ
Harriet, and said unhurriedly, “Hara, you don’t need to be soÂ
nervous or polite. Grandpa was brought in on time, and hisÂ
condition isn’t too serious. As long as he gets regular checkupsÂ
and takes his medicine on schedule, he’ll be fine.”Â
Chapter37Â
Harriet was 165 cm tall, while Kenneth was 189, and years ofÂ
military training made him look even more imposing.Â
Standing in front of him, Harriet seemed rather petite.Â
Nodding, Harriet said, “Okay, I’ll bring Grandpa in for regular checkups and remind him to take his medicine on time.”Â
Harriet was gentle, while Kenneth casually walked over to Ralph, gave him a quick check, and didn’t say much more.Â
Since Harriet was there, Kenneth didn’t leave right away either, staying to keep her company.Â
Whenever he got a phone call, he would step outside to answerÂ
By the bedside, Harriet held Ralph’s hand, her gaze drifting toward the door, watching Kenneth take calls outside. She feltÂ
truly grateful to him.Â
Night fell.Â
Kathie and Patsy came by, and Colin came as well.Â
The Chavez family was small, and Harriet didn’t have manyÂ
friends, so aside from the Townsend family coming to visit,Â
Chapter 47Â
there was no one else.Â
Yet even though everyone else had come, Ellsworth still hadn’tÂ
shown up.Â
After nine o’clock, seeing that Kenneth had stayed this long,Â
Harriet said to him, “Ken, I’m here to look after Grandpa. YouÂ
should go home and get some rest.”Â
Harriet was polite, and seeing that Ralph was asleep, KennethÂ
said, “Alright, I’ll head back then. Call me anytime if you needÂ
anything.”Â
“Okay!” Harriet nodded.Â
She walked Kenneth to the elevator. Harriet was about to seeÂ
him downstairs, but Kenneth said, “This is far enough. Go back.Â
Grandpa’s fine, you don’t need to worry too much. Get someÂ
rest tonight.”‘Â
“Okay!” Harriet nodded obediently.Â
As soon as she finished speaking, the elevator arrived.Â
Watching Kenneth take the elevator down, Harriet finallyÂ
turned and went back to the hospital room.Â
The room was very quiet. She had just told Deloris to go homeÂ
Chapter 37Â
and rest as well.Â
Sitting by the bed, looking at the sleeping Ralph, Harriet held his hand and whispered, “Grandpa, you really can’t have anything happen to you.”Â
Her parents were gone; now her grandfather was her only family left. She wanted him to stay with her for a few moreÂ
years.Â
After sitting by the bed for a while, Harriet’s phone vibrated.Â
She took it out and saw it was a call from Dillon at RantonÂ
Group.Â
Afraid of waking Ralph, Harriet took her phone outside toÂ
answer.Â
“Mr. Massey.”Â
Once the call connected, Harriet immediately became the sharpÂ
and capable vice president again, her face full of smiles, as ifÂ
nothing had happened at home.Â
Worried that her call would disturb the patients in the room,Â
Harriet walked toward the small balcony at the end of theÂ
corridor while talking.Â
Chapter 37Â
It was still about the engineering project; the other party hadÂ
some questions for her.Â
“There’s no problem with the progress. The materials are beingÂ
purchased according to the budget.”Â
“Yes, yes.”Â
“That’s right, that’s right.”Â
She patiently communicated with the other party until all theÂ
issues were discussed and clarified, and only then did HarrietÂ
hang up.Â
She glanced down at her phone-it was already ten o’clock.Â
A breeze blew by. Harriet pulled her clothes tighter around herÂ
and turned to head back to the hospital room.Â
The corridor was long and quiet, and Harriet could clearly hearÂ
the sound of her high heels.Â
“Ells, Kel is much better today. The doctor said there’s no sign ofÂ
rejection. She’s just been too tired lately and will be fine afterÂ
some rest.”Â
“Ells, you’ve been running to the hospital every day. It’s reallyÂ
Chapter37Â
hard on you. Syl would be so comforted to see you taking suchÂ
good care of the Graham family.”Â
As she passed a hospital room and heard someone inside calling Ells, Harriet instinctively stopped and looked inside.Â
