Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18 novel Chapter 88

Just like Hayden had promised, he got off work early in the afternoon and drove me to the hospital to visit my grandmother. The hospital staff were gracious enough to keep me informed daily of my grandmother’s condition. Thankfully, she was stable. That said, it wasn’t like her condition had improved. At this point, I guessed that I should be thankful that her condition didn’t get worse.

“You want to get her something before we go up?” Hayden asked, catching me a little off guard.

Now that he mentioned it, maybe some fruits would be good?

“Maybe some fruits? I think there’s a store over there that has some,” I replied, pointing a finger in the direction of the store.

“Let’s go,” Hayden said before reaching for my hand.

He held my hand as we walked towards the store. I couldn’t help but feel conscious of his warm hand holding mine. Hayden’s been holding my hand most of the time if not all the time now when we were together and, surprisingly, I didn’t hate it.

I wondered if people thought that we were a real couple when they looked at us walking hand-in-hand this way. We purchased the fruits together and made our way up to my grandmother’s hospital room.

Coming to visit my grandmother reminded me that I need to make some solid progress on her painting. So many things have been going on that I haven’t had the time to concentrate on it. I’ll get to it first thing when we get back to the penthouse.

“Hi grandma!” I said cheerfully when we entered her room.

As always, my grandmother was laying on her hospital bed with a white blanket covering her body and there were multiple machines hooked to her body. She seemed excited and very happy to see me. However, her eyes widened in slight surprise when she saw that Hayden was with me.

I guess the last time that he was here, he gave her a little shock as well.

“It’s good for you two to visit,” my grandmother said before smiling kindly at us.

“We got you some fruits,” Hayden said as he held up the basket of fruits that we had purchased.

“Oh wow, how nice of you,” my grandmother said before her smile widened.

It looked like my grandmother had taken a liking to Hayden and his gentlemanly acts and angelic face. Looks can be deceiving, grandma!

“How have you been feeling?” I asked, trying not to sound overly worried.

“Good…quite well. I think I’m getting used to the medicine. I feel less sleepy than before…” grandma said followed by a relieved laugh.

“That’s great. Maybe if you get better, the doctors will allow you to go outside…for a walk or something,” I said, encouragingly.

“That would be nice, it’s sort of boring being stuck in here…” grandma said, and I could see her eyes straying towards the window where she could see a glimpse of the world outside.

“Do you like flowers, grandma?” Hayden asked.

I didn’t miss the fact that he had just called her ‘grandma’ either. This guy is sucking up so much to my grandma, seriously…

“I love them, yes,” my grandma said.
