LOGINAs Grandma May put it, the young family members had to work. It was hard for them to find time out of their day to keep her company. “You’re impossible to talk to. Every time we speak, you somehow kill the conversation. I’d rather talk to Sheila.” Alex was lost for words. Sheila burst into laughter. “I think you’re mistaken, Grandma May. I think Alex is a delight to talk to. He knows a lot. I can talk about anything with him. He has some input even when we discuss medical topics.” “Well, in any case, I don’t enjoy a conversation with him. He gets on my nerves sometimes. I only tolerate him because I’m his nana.” Alex replied, “…Sure, whatever makes you happy, Nana.” Grandma May was free to take all the jabs in the world at him. It was a good thing that by doing so, Grandma May secured an opportunity to invite Sheila to his place. “It could just be the generational gap.” Sheila said with a smile, “Okay. I’ll brave a visit to Alex’s when you’re feeling bored on my next
The trio exited the hospital. Sheila arrived at work on her electric bike while Alex drove his Maybach to take Grandma May for her check-up. “Sheila, join us for the car ride. We can talk on the drive over.” Since the electric bike was not the safest transport, Grandma May invited Sheila to ride in the car. Alex said, “I can take you home after lunch if you want to head home for a rest. I can drive you back for your afternoon shift as well. You can ride your e-bike back in the evening.” Sheila replied, “Sounds like a plan.” She helped Grandma May into the car and hopped in. “Do you have a car, Sheila? Alex knows a lot of cars. He can give you the lowdown on any model out there.” Sheila was thoughtful to fasten the seatbelt for Grandma May. Grandma May was not getting any younger, and it showed in her agility. She had a little bit of trouble buckling up. Grandma May happily accepted the help when Sheila readily offered. “I own a car, but it’s nothing like Alex’s. It’
Although young and new to Wiltspoon General Hospital, Sheila’s medical expertise quickly earned her patients’ trust. Her appointment slots filled up rather quickly when Sheila was on duty at the clinic. Sheila offered Grandma May a few words of advice before heading back to work. A while later, Alex returned and saw Grandma May sitting outside the clinic. He approached and murmured, “Why aren’t you waiting inside? I thought you’d want to chat with Sheila.” “Now isn’t the time or place. Can’t you see that she has a lot of patients waiting?“Come on. Sheila should be off duty by the time we finish these tests.” That would be Grandma May’s cue to ask Sheila to join them for a meal. Alex escorted his nana to get her labs done. Since the hospital was packed, there was a line in every department. By the end of Grandma May’s last test, the morning shift was finally over. Worried that Sheila had already left, Grandma May told Alex to check the treatment clinic while she wai
While Zachary took Callia to Serenity’s office, Alex was at the hospital with Grandma May, waiting for her number to be called. Grandma May made sure to book an appointment with Sheila. Even with an appointment, Grandma May and Alex had to wait for their turn because of the people ahead of them. “Are you hungry, Nana?” Alex asked worriedly, not wanting her to go hungry for too long. “I thought the appointment would put you at the front of the line. Had I known it was going to be a long wait, I’d have worked up the nerve to ask Sheila to squeeze you in earlier.” Grandma May glared at him and said, “Is this how I raised you? Where are your manners? “I’m only going for a physical, and nothing more. We should wait our turn like everyone else. Don’t skip the line. There are people here seeking medical treatment. I raised you better than to use our connections to take an opportunity away from a patient who needs the doctor more.“I’m not hungry. Stop asking me every five minutes
Zachary set Callia down on the bed and walked away for two seconds before turning back to pick her up.On second thought, Zachary decided to bring Callia along, so she could pick out her own outfit. Callia owned a lot of clothes, and every outfit was more adorable than the last. Faced with too many choices, Callia could not make up her mind. In the end, Zachary picked out a dress for her. Zachary loved how beautiful Callia looked in the dress. She was sweet and cute like a doll. Callia inherited the best from him and Serenity. It was no wonder she was more lovable than their son. If Heath could read Zachary’s thoughts, his father’s favoritism would not sit well with him. Zachary got Callia dressed and asked, “Do you want a bottle, Callia?” “Yes,” Callia replied. She added, “Wash.” Callia felt around her face. She reminded Zachary to help her get cleaned up. Serenity would wash her face and brush her teeth when Callia woke up in the morning. Once Callia was a li
“It will take a lot of guts for the guy to marry Callia. She’s got one brother and an army of cousins. Not to mention, she has lots of family friends. “Dozens will show up at her cry. Any suitor will go weak in the knees and pass out.“It’s better for Callia to live separately from the family when she marries. It should take a bit of pressure from the guy. If her husband lives with the family, he’d have to deal with the brother, cousins, and uncles.” Serenity said sympathetically, “The stress is going to break him. He might just drop dead in his prime.” Zachary was lost for words.In other words, his daughter would have trouble finding a man. Zachary wondered if he should pick out a tough kid and raise him to be Callia’s devoted man. No one knew him better than his wife. The moment Zachary carried that thought, Serenity was quick to nip it in the bud. “Our children will find their own way. There’s no need to worry too much about it. Callia might not be into the guy you ch
Although Callum brought Camryn two business deals and revenue, she could not possibly spend all the profits on buying him dinner. “Alright. You can pick the place since it’s your treat. I’m happy if you want to cook for me too.” It did not matter to Callum where he was having the meal so long as his
“I won’t help you. You can go after Liberty by yourself. If you manage to pursue her, Seren and I will support the two of you together. If you don’t, then stop pestering her. After all, your mother doesn’t approve of her.”Zachary did not stop Duncan, but he would not help him either.“We’re good frie
Case in point, he just asked Josh to investigate Jessica.He could not afford to offend Josh.“Thanks in advance. You’re really a good boss who’s considerate of your subordinates.”Josh flattered Zachary.Zachary laughed. “Enough already. I don’t know you. Just go on your date and soak in the honey jar
Serenity felt that it was her fault for not being by her sister’s side because of the argument she had with him. How would she feel if she found out that her fertility was being talked about online too?“Okay, let’s go back to the manor. Nana said that Sonny was frightened too badly and should be loo
