On the third day of the successful operation, Harley’s bad cold developed into a sore throat, making it difficult to even speak.
In the morning, Kasen Paul ca into the ward. Seeing Harley sleeping with his head tilted, he couldn’t help shaking his head and sighing. After all, he was not a hard-hearted man, and he’s seen everything Harley had done in the past few days. Instead of waking Harley, Kasen Paul stepped down, not wanting to wake him from his sleep.
A mont later, when Ariana ca out to get hot water, Kasen Paul ca back with a bag containing their breakfast. While Ariana greeted her husband, the flask in her hand mistakenly slipped and fell.
Harley was awakened by the sound. He saw the old couple in front of the ward door and imdiately stood up to say hello.
"Mr. Kasen, Mrs. Ariana, good morning." Right now Harley’s voice was rough.
In addition to being hoarse, he also felt a sore throat as if being torn apart by life.
Kasen Paul heard Harley’s voice change, and the two suddenly looked at each other.
"Why is your voice hoarse?"
"Yeah, didn’t you say the cold was getting better? It was just a little stuffy nose yesterday."
The old couple began to realize that Harley was lying.
Then Kasen Paul handed the breakfast to his wife, and without waiting for him to make an excuse, he forcibly took him to the outpatient departnt of the hospital to see a doctor.
After a brief examination, Harley was diagnosed with an upper respiratory tract infection. It was fortunate that Kasen Paul had acted decisively because according to the doctor’s words if Harley had continued to hold on, he would have turned into severe pneumonia within three days.
After a few dications and a drip, Harley felt a little more comfortable. But he didn’t rest. As soon as the nurse helped pull out the needle, he couldn’t wait to find Nina.
Walking quickly back to the inpatient departnt, Harley went to see his daughter first and learned that the child’s fever had subsided, and the previous symptoms had significantly subsided as well. This was the best news he had received in the past few days. Alas! The bone marrow he transplanted to his daughter is working. After showing his gratitude to the doctors and nurses who attended to True Paul, Harley hurriedly went to Nina to announce the good news.
After a while, he ca out of the elevator, and just after passing the corner of the corridor, he saw a familiar person in front of him. It was a young woman who looked no more than twenty-five years old.
"Sylvia?" Harley called, his eyes widening in shock as she recognized her.
Why did she co to the hospital?
She seed to be heading to the ward where Nina lay and imdiately Harley figured that Sylvia might have been ordered by Carlee to cause Nina trouble. Realizing that his mother was still trying to harm Nina, Harley grew angry.
He took big steps to catch up and when Sylvia was less than ten ters away from Nina’s ward, he blocked her way.
"What are you doing here? Did my mother ask you to co?" Harley, harshly.
Sylvia was stunned for a mont, feeling the strong hostility of Harley, and imdiately began to pretend to be innocent and weak.
"Harley, you don’t understand. I’m here to find you," She explained in a low voice, glancing timidly at Harley. "You haven’t been ho for almost a week. I ca to the hospital to tell you that Mrs. Timothy is sick and she has been in bed for several days."
The annoyance on Harley’s face subsided when he heard that Carlee was suspected of being seriously ill.
"My mother is sick? Why doesn’t she go to the hospital?"
Sylvia smiled embarrassedly, and explained with a long sigh: "Mrs. Carlee is saying that you won’t let her go to the hospital, no matter how we persuade her."
Harley couldn’t help laughing. "I just told her that day to stop arguing with Nina. When did I stop her from going to the hospital?"
"Harley, why don’t you go ho with first, talk to Mrs. Timothy, and bring her to the hospital?"
Logically speaking, Harley, as Carlee’s son, had an obligation and responsibility to go back and take care of his mother. However, Harley was in a feud with his mother since the last ti she was almost detained.
Besides even with how pathetic Sylvia sounded, who can guarantee that she was not acting together with Carlee? For this and other reasons, Harley did not agree with Sylvia. But he knew had to be a little more tactful when he spoke.
"I still won’t go back, you know my mother’s temper. If she sees , she’ll only get more annoyed. If she is sick, I can call an ambulance imdiately." After politely declining, Harley went as soon as possible for Nina.
Sylvia would never have thought that Harley was determined not to go ho. It seems that she had to change her strategy!
"Harley, are you not going back with ? Mrs. Carlee needs you now!" She called after him.
Sylvia hoped to deceive Harley’s ho by various ans according to Carlee’s instructions.
Unexpectedly, Harley took a firm stand and told her tactfully: "In fact, compared to the person my mother needs more is you, so there is no need to persuade ."
Harley’s throat was hoarse, and after struggling to say this, he walked into Nina’s ward without looking back.
Sylvia bit her lip hard as Harley disappeared from her sight. She knew that no one could persuade Harley, so she didn’t bother chasing him into the ward. Cursing angrily, Sylvia threw her head back in frustration.
At the sa ti, Harley just walked into the ward and saw that Kasen Paul and Ariana were restless as if they were itching to tell him sothing.
"Harley, sit down. the four of us have a eting today," Ariana inford him with a smile.
"eting? Harley raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Mrs. Ariana, what is the purpose of your eting?"
Ariana allowed her husband to speak, and Kasen Paul said loudly, "It’s about your future with Nina."
When Harley and Sylvia were talking in the corridor just now, Kasen Paul had wanted to go out, but when he reached the door, he heard a voice in the corridor. Knowing that Harley had rejected Sylvia’s request, Kasen Paul discovered that his relationship with the woman was not as strong as he had imagined. In fact, it was not an exaggeration to say that she was a stranger to him.
Harley kept his mouth shut and waited for Kasen Paul to express his opinion. And Nina sat shyly on the hospital bed as she already knew about the topic to be discussed. She lowered her head slightly to hide the blush on her cheeks and to avoid looking at Harley.
