Chapter 1103: Stingy
Camille pursed her lips and smiled, her voice soft as she responded,
"You're Mr. Simpson, my child's father!"
He reached out and grabbed Camille's chin, letting out a low grunt.
âYou just won't say what I want to hear, will you?"
Camille chuckled. "Aren't these things what you wanted to hear? How
could you be like this? I thought everything I said would please you.
Looks like I was thinking too much.â
"You've learned to bite back now?" He stared at Camille and
unconsciously tightened his grip on her chin. Without waiting for any
response from Camille, he lowered his head and forcefully kissed her
lips.
His voice hoarse, he said, "Be good and don't make me uncomfortable
anymore."
Camille wrapped her arms around his waist and blinked. "I'm very
good; it's actually you who seems a little off."
The two bickered while the old Simpson prepared himself.
To avoid drawing attention to themselves they took a car directly to the
hospital.
They used the doctor's exclusive passage so they wouldn't encounter
any patients in the hospital.
The old Simpson's ward was in the VIP section of the hospital - quiet
floors with specially assigned bodyguards stationed outside so there
would be no disturbances.
The ward was a one-bedroom suite with two living rooms that had
better facilities than some high-end apartments - so staying here
wouldn't be too difficult for the old Simpson.
As soon as they arrived Dr. Ellis followed closely behind them into the
room after exchanging pleasantries with them both beforehand:
âThe old Simpson," Dr. Ellis began reassuringly,"Donâât worry about your
health report; I've looked over it thoroughly without finding anything
major wrong with your health condition yet . You can trust my medical
skills during your stay here since my students will take care of
everything along with me- all nurses are under my supervision- if there
is anything that concerns or bothers you feel free to communicate it
with them."
âThank you," The old Simpson nodded gratefully.
"You're welcome,â Dr. Ellis replied softly.
Dr. Ellis had been friends with Fletcher for many years now due Derek's
relationship Ayan , so naturally he would do everything in his power for
The Old Simpsonsâ well-being .
It was only their first day of admission so there weren't many medical
examinations planned other than allowing him time to adjust.
After chatting briefly about nothing significant at all , Dr. Ellis left
accompanied by Ayan while Camille stayed behind keeping The Old
Simpsons company inside.
Outside of their room , Dr. Ellis walked alongside Ayan towards his
office .
Ayan asked, "Is Grandpa really doing okay?"
"So far, he's doing alright. It's just that the old Simpson is getting up
there in age and can't do things as well as younger people. So we have
to take it slow and be extra careful with everything,â replied Dr. Ellis.
Ayan nodded understandingly, but still had many worries in his heart.
Dr. Ellis seemed to sense this and said, "Don't worry Ayan, I'll do
everything I can. And besides, the old Simpson is doing pretty well right
now too."
âThank you," Ayan said gratefully.
"Don't mention it. It's my duty,â Dr. Ellis replied.
Although Dr. Ellis tried to reassure Ayan, he also spoke some rational
words because of the risks involved with treating an elderly patient like
the old Simpson.
Regardless of these risks though, Ayan knew he had to make all kinds
of decisions for his grandfather no matter what pressures or risks were
involved.
His grandfather was very important to him and was his most important
person; he hoped that the old Simpson would stay healthy and strong
for a long time yet.
After leaving Dr. Ellisâ room, Ayan immediately returned back into The
Old Simpsonsâ room where Camille was keeping him company. They
chatted about weather which made The Old Simpsons laugh out loud.
Aryan saw them both looking secretive when they noticed him come
back. The Old Simpsons quickly told Camille not tell anything funny
they talked about. Camille nodded her head in agreement. Aryan found
their behavior amusing but didn't ask what secret they were hiding. He
sat next to Camille while watching The Old Simpsons closely. He
said,"Grandpa, I've already discussed with Dr. Ellis. We'll start
cooperating with his treatment once you're feeling better. You're the
biggest person in the Simpson family so you can't cry like Timmy. Let's
get through this together okay?"
As soon as Aryan finished speaking, the coldness appeared on The Old
Simpsons face. He glared at Aryan asking"What are you talking
about?"
âI'm saying exactly what I mean. I know you heard me. Just so
happens, Cami is here too. She can vouch for us. You're not allowed to
back out or escape from your responsibilities. This time since we've
already come, you must cooperate fully with Dr. Ellisâ treatment,
right?"Aryan replied firmly
Ayan knows the old Simpson very well. Although he's in the hospital
now, if he doesn't make up his mind, he'll change his mind at the last
minute. Not to mention cooperating with treatment is also impossible for
him.
Everyone has put in so much effort to persuade the old Simpson to
cooperate with treatment while he's here at the hospital. Of course, no
matter what happens, he must stay here obediently.
Because Ayan knows how the old Simpson thinks? So she directly
opened up a topic with him to prevent him from being stubborn and
refusing further treatment later on.
The old Simpson had a calm face, probably because Ayan exposed his
personality in front of Camille. His expression was not happy either.
Camille immediately understood that everything Ayan said was true;
otherwise, The Old Simpson would have directly refuted her.
Because it was all true, The Old Simpson remained silent and
completely looked like someone who wouldn't respond no matter what
you say.
Seeing The Old Simpson throwing a tantrum like a child, Camille
quickly said: "Grandpa! Is Ayan accusing you wrongly?"
The Old Simpson looked at Camille as if she were grasping at straws
and subconsciously nodded: "Yes! He accused me wrongly."
Camille looked serious as she turned towards Ayan and said: "How can
you do this? Grandpa could never be that kind of person! He wouldn't
throw tantrums like children! Grandpa has an open heart; He is an
upright man who always keeps his word! You should apologize to
grandpa right away!"
Invisible to The Old Simpsons eyesight but visible only by Camillesâ,
they were communicating through eye contact - husband and wife are
truly one entity - Ayan suddenly understood that this was their plan all
along - One sings white face while another sings red face- making it
impossible for The Old Simpsonsâ escape route.
Following Camillesâ words, Ayans apologized sincerely with her head
slightly lowered: "I'm sorry grandpa; It's my small-mindedness. You
couldn't possibly be that kind of person. It's my fault for thinking too little
of you."
The old simpson saw this scene and hesitated slightly while camile
continued speaking : âGrandfather , he already apologized . You don't
need to hold grudges against him anymore. If he ever dares speak ill
about you again, I'll take care of him alright?"
The old Simpson faced Camille with a pleasant expression, even
though he realized belatedly that they might be acting. He could only
smile at Camille with a full face. However, in his heart, he couldn't help
but mutter to himself: Is Camille and Ayan trying to scheme against
me?
Camille and Ayan had no idea what the old Simpson was thinking. They
only saw the old Simpson nodding willingly, which put their minds at
ease.
Ayan didn't forget to say: "Grandpa, you mustn't forget what you just
promised? Cami and I both saw it. Of course, you can always stand us
up, but surely you won't lie to Cami too?"
Upon hearing this, the old Simpson spoke righteously: "How could I lie
to Cami? It's you who are the little rascal! Let me tell you something;
don't think that just because I'm staying in the hospital means I don't
know what's going on outside. If you dare treat Cami badly then try
me!"
Ayan quickly replied: "Don't worry; there is no possibility of that
happening.â
âIt better be so; otherwise, I won't spare any mercy," said The Old
Simpson as he snorted lightly while warning and threatening Ayan with
his eyes.
The two stayed with the Old Simpson for a whole morning at the
hospital. Although there were still many things left for them to handle
over at the Simpsons Group, but the Old Simpson's health matters
were naturally more important than anything else.
