Chapter 1213
Francisco frowned and said nothing.
‘I agreed to show up to the meal arranged by that woman named Lucy only because she said that they wished to extend their gratitude through a meal. It’d be rather rude if I were to say no to such a warm invitation. To this day, all of Lucy’s actions have been very deliberate. It’s obvious that she’s trying to make a couple out of Naomi and me. I’ m not really sure if it’s Naomi’s intention or if she arrived at such a decision without Naomi’s authorization.’
After his incident with Maizie, Francisco had been very wary toward all women.
“Nobody can guarantee that I won’t run into another Maizie.’
At the hospital…
Mrs. Hannigan was sitting beside the hospital bed and feeding Nathaniel congee. Because Nathaniel had just undergone a craniotomy and was still recovering, all he could do was basically lying on the bed, and he would need someone to raise the head of the bed if he wanted to get up. Tanner came in through the door at this time.
Nathaniel took a glance at him, took back all the words that were about to escape his mouth, and chose not to look at him at all. “Tanner.” Mrs. Hannigan looked up at him.” Your father has just regained consciousness, so please come and accompany him whenever you’re free.” Tanner responded with a hum. Nathaniel did not even utter a word. He continued to eat the congee Mrs. Hannigan fed him.
“I’ll go back home and prepare dinner first.” Mrs. Hannigan stood up after Nathaniel finished his meal, and she did not forget to adjust the height of the head of the bed and tuck the blanket for Nathaniel.
After Mrs. Hannigan left, only the father and son were left in the ward.
Nathaniel closed his eyes and refused to say a word from beginning to end.
Since he did not speak, Tanner only sat on the side silently.
Tanner stayed in the ward with his father for two hours, and his father had fallen asleep long ago. He was very annoyed and went to the stairway to smoke. He leaned against the wall and went through half a packet of cigarettes, one after another.
Sandy sent him another text message, saying that she could be discharged from the hospital and would wait for him at home.
Tanner narrowed his eyes. He was not sure if his eyes were irritated by the smoke or if it was something else. He put the phone back in his pocket after reading the text. He did not return home that night but went to a pub for some drinks instead.
