“Dr. Carden is truly skilled. She was here before you both arrived but had to leave after less than ten minutes because she was very busy.”
Lilian was Remy’s fourth sister-in-law. Elisa and Remy were a couple, and since the Stones and Johnsons would become in-laws in the future, Lilian wanted to visit Alice after hearing about her giving birth.
“She is indeed busy, as she mentioned she had other patients to attend to.”
Callum was filled with gratitude toward Lilian. Although Lilian credited her success to the previous doctor who was treating Camryn, claiming that Camryn’s eye condition was already half-treated and that she only needed to apply some medication for Camryn to fully regain her sight.
Callum remained deeply appreciative.
“Your wedding is around the corner, isn’t it?”
“Yes, it’s getting closer.”
Callum had a joyful smile on his face whenever their upcoming wedding was brought up.
“When can Alice be discharged from the hospital?”
“She had a normal delivery, so she can be discharged in a couple of days.”
Callum nodded in response.
He and Clive had little to no conversation topics, primarily because the Stone family and the York family were business rivals.
After Serenity was found by Audrey, both families considered Serenity’s interests and ceased any intense conflicts. However, it was unlikely that the two major conglomerates would cooperate or interact like friends.
Occasionally, they still launched moves against each other, but they dared not go too far for fear that Serenity would find out. They also did not want to put Serenity in a tough spot.
Soon, the two men found themselves without much to talk about, so they just exchanged glances, and the conversation dwindled.
Finally, Clive asked Callum, “Would you like to watch TV? I can turn it on for you.”
“There’s no need. We’ll be returning to the manor later.”
