"I heard from Luna that you're on a business trip to South Africa. Your grandma fell ill so suddenly that you had to come all the way here..." Cathy thought that she cared about Huston, but she didn't know how awkward her words sounded.
"It's fine. Where's Grandpa?"
"He's at home. He was scared when the accident happened. I just told him that he was fine. At his age, he can't help much; instead, we have to take care of him."
Huston didn't say anything and just quietly looked at the old man on the bed.
Huston felt very guilty, especially when he thought of the conflict and quarrel caused by Evelyn before. Although he knew that he had done nothing wrong, he could not escape the blame in his heart.
The atmosphere in the ward was a little depressing. At this moment, Kevin came over and called Huston out.
At the entrance of the emergency exit, Huston lit a cigarette and took a drag on it. He leaned against the wall behind him and slowly exhaled a few seconds later.
Kevin glanced at him and asked, "Didn't you quit smoking?"
"So annoying. Just one."
"You came back overnight, didn't you?" Kevin looked at the time and then looked at his obviously exhausted mental state. He sighed helplessly and worriedly. He explained, "Acute myocarditis is not very serious. It's a common disease among old people. She needs to take medicine for a long time in the future. She must rely on rest and recuperate a little. After all, her heart will affect her whole body. But at present, it won't endanger her life. You don't have to worry too much. Just take scientific treatment."
Huston looked up at a certain spot on the wall and smoked quietly. "Okay."
Seeing him like this, Kevin couldn't help but frown and mutter, "Have you taken the medicine I prescribed for you?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, and in the next second, countless joy flashed through her heart. Could it be that when she sent Old Mrs. Lloyd to the hospital this time, Huston was touched?
With that illusion in mind, the woman followed him to the hospital's top floor. The environment of the Lane Group was very good, and even the rooftop was very clean.
"Luna Carter." Huston stood on the rooftop railings, and the wind in the distance was dazzling. "I don't know. Do you have the habit of eavesdropping as well as stalking?"
The woman stood three steps away from him, looking a little embarrassed. "I didn't mean to. I just happened to pass by and didn't stand there for long."
Luna would never admit that she was eavesdropping on purpose, but she was very happy, especially when she knew that Huston had never been close to a woman all these years.
Huston didn't like himself but didn't like other women. That was enough.
