Jerome must be extremely tired. He didnât even change his clothes and fell asleep on the bed.
Mikayla didnât want to disturb him.
She went to the bathroom to change her clothes and put on some makeup. Then, she accompanied Eduard to the hospital again.
Knowing that they were leaving in the afternoon, Todd was feeling quite reluctant.
They chatted for a while. Mikayla and Carl left the ward to let Todd and Eduard have some time alone.
âIâm sorry I couldnât bring you both around for the past few days,â Carl apologized.
âItâs okay. When Mr. Young Senior gets better next time, weâll come ,â Mikayla said with a smile.
Carl nodded, âSure Though Mikayla said so, they both knew that Toddâs illness was not going to get better.
âLife is unpredictable. I regret going abroad and not spending time with Grandpa for two years.â Carl sighed softly.
In her previous life, Mikayla didnât accompany Eduard to Lakeville so she wasnât aware of Carlâs situation.
âDonât be too hard on yourself. No one knew Mr. Young Senior would get sick. Mikayla comforted him.
âKay, youâve grown up. Youâre sensible and mature now, and you even know when to comfort a person,â
Carl said jokingly.
âWas I so immature before?â Mikayla asked.
As the two were chatting and laughing, Mikayla saw Jerome coming toward them with a fruit basket at the end of the corridor.
He changed into a light blue shirt and wore a black suit.
His complexion was visibly better, and he regained his cold and arrogant look.
Though, he was supposed to be resting at the hotel. Why did he come here?
Carl followed Mikaylaâs gaze and saw Jerome.
âIs he your husband?â Carl asked.
Mikayla was somewhat surprised. âHow did you know?â
âI heard Grandpa mentioned him before. I was also lucky enough to watch one of his financial interviews, Carl said.
As they spoke, Jerome had already approached them.
âWhy are you here?â Mikayla asked.
âI called Grandpa and found out that youâre at the hospital.
I thought Iâll come to visit Mr.
Senior as well. Whoâs this?â Jerome looked at Carl.
âHeâs Carl, Mr. Young Seniorâs grandson.â Mikayla introduced Cart to Jerome.
Carl took the initiative to shake hands with Jerome. âMr. Miller, thank you for visiting.
After shaking hands, Carl led them to the ward.
âHeâs my grandsonâinâlaw.âEduard introduced Jerome to Todd.
âHe looks handsome and smart!â Todd complemented Jerome. âIsnât he the guy that Mikayla has always liked? The two of them are a perfect match.â
Mikayla was embarrassed. Everyone knew about her pursuit of Jerome.
They exchanged some more pleasantries Seeing that it was getting late, Eduard and the rest bid farewell to Todd.
Although they were all smiling, Mikayla clearly saw the swollen eyes of Eduard and Todd.
Carl escorted them to their car. âKay, come over and visit Grandpa again when you have time.â
âOkay.â Mikayla waved to him. âGoodbye, Carl.â
Jerome frowned, but he kept quiet.
After returning to the hotel, they had lunch and set off to Marisville.
After dropping Eduard and William home, Mikayla and Jerome left for the Dragoncrest Villa.
Mikayla called Wanda and made an appointment to go to the Miller Manor tomorrow.
After the call, she closed her eyes and rested.
Suddenly, Jerome asked, âAre you close with Carl?â
