When Saniogo went back to the ward, he saw Missha who was in a panic. "Saniogo, where have you been? You scared me," she said.
"I went for the body checkup," he replied truthfully. He couldn't help but feel warm when he saw how anxious she got.
"Aunt Missha you were sleeping soundly when I saw you so I didn't wake you up," Alexander explained.
She breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she became worried again and asked, "How did it go?"
"Don't worry, Aunt Missha. He is still in the early stage. He will be fine after recuperating slowly in the hospital for a few days. It's better not to get emotional or else, the risks of a relapse will be very high." Everleigh's words were serious when she talked to Missha and Alexander.
Both of them understood what she meant. She was talking about Cynthia.
"Okay, we understand." Missha nodded and her expression became even colder.
"I'll go to work now. I'll come over to have lunch with you at noon." Everleigh put her hands into her pockets and said to Saniogo with a smile.
He nodded. "Go ahead. I'll get someone to cook something you like to eat."
"It's fine, I already told them to make something suitable for you. We can eat together. You can't eat lavishly so you might suffer watching me eat," she chuckled.
He gave a resigned smile as it sounded reasonable.
At noon, Everleigh was about to go to Saniogo's ward when she saw Theodore bringing Alastair and Adrienne over.
"Mommy!" Adrienne shouted.
Everleigh looked at the two of them and couldn't help but smile, "Why are you guys here?"
"I called you but you didn't answer. I was worried so I came over to take a look. Coincidentally, Adrienne called me and said that she wanted to see you too, so I brought them with me."
"My uncle was hospitalized last night. I was worried so I didn't go back."
Theodore frowned. "What happened?"
"Let's talk while walking," she sighed softly; exhaustion could be seen all over her face.
Everleigh had almost finished explaining when they arrived at the door of the ward.
Theodore didn't say anything, but Adrienne said from time to time, "Grand-Uncle is so pitiful." "He would definitely be delighted to see the both of you."
Adrienne smiled, showing a row of small teeth and felt happy listening to her words.
When the family of four entered, Adrienne took small strides and leaned over the bedside. Because of her short height, she could only show her small head. "Grand-Uncle, I'm here to see you."
Saniogo's eyes were filled with joy when he saw her. "Adrienne, when did you arrive?"
"Daddy and I heard that you were ill so I came here specially to see you." When she said that he was ill, there was some sadness in her small eyes.
Missha and Alexander were overjoyed as well to see Adrienne.
"Adrienne, come here." Alexander waved and gestured for her to come over.
Adrienne held Saniogo's hand and said, "No, I want to be with Grand-Uncle. I'm here to see him."
Her words made everyone in the ward laugh, especially Saniogo, who was obviously in a good mood. The happiness in his eyes could clearly be seen.
"Mr. Jenkins, are the results okay?" Theodore walked over and asked softly.
"It's not a big deal. Besides, Everleigh is here. You can rest assured," Saniogo replied with a smile.
Theodore nodded and didn't say anything else.
Soon, the nurse brought the food they ordered. Everleigh was worried that the food wasn't enough so she went out to buy more. Theodore looked at her tired face and pulled her over. "You go ahead and eat, I'll buy it." Then, he turned around and left.
Alastair followed silently behind him.
Everleigh arched her eyebrows and thought, "Is there something wrong with Alastair?"
Didn't he say that he didn't like Theodore?
