My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1132

Chapter 1132: Sincerity

Ayan raised his hand and gently massaged his forehead. With Kian away these days, he had to handle many tasks on his own. Honestly, his workload was heavy, and he felt quite tired.

Kian immediately agreed upon hearing Ayan's request and promptly booked a flight back to Hance City for the next day.

After the call with Kian, Ayan didn't have any idle time. He had numerous matters to attend to, and he couldn't even spare a moment to visit the hospital later that night to check on the old Simpson.

So, it was up to Camille to go to the hospital alone.

Today was Camille's turn to accompany the old Simpson for dinner as Ayan had important meetings scheduled. Camille received a text from Ayan in the afternoon, notifying her of his busy schedule.

Camille felt it was manageable on her own. The old Simpson had officially started treatment. Due to his age, he couldn't undergo extensive treatments like surgeries immediately. Instead, it required a gradual approach-improving his health while slowly implementing the treatment plan to minimize adverse reactions or other complications.

Camille took a driver to the hospital, bringing the old Simpson his favorite sugar-free cookies. Knowing that the old Simpson couldn't have too much sweetness, she had ordered them without sugar and added a natural fruity sweetness to make them enjoyable.

Arriving at the hospital, Camille took the staff elevator to the floor where the old Simpson's ward was located, just as she did when Ayan was accompanying her. In the ward, the old Simpson was playing chess with the old butler. Spotting Camille, he immediately beckoned her to join. While Camille wasn't particularly interested in chess, she agreed to play with the old Simpson.

After a game, the old butler left to check if dinner was ready. Camille stayed to chat with the old Simpson. He inquired, "Why are you alone today? Where is he? Did you two have a fight?"

Camille couldn't help but laugh at the old Simpson's words. She replied, "Grandpa, what do you think?"

"It looks like you had a fight," the old Simpson insisted on his opinion. He continued, "Normally, you both come together to visit me. Why is it just you today? Did he not want to see this old man? Cami, you don't have to cover for him. Just tell me the truth. If he really doesn't want to visit me, he doesn't have to come anymore."

The old Simpson spoke seriously, as if he genuinely believed what he was saying.

Camille was accustomed to the old Simpson's way of speaking and tone. Sometimes, he probably didn't mean it that way, but he said such things to prevent Camille from getting genuinely upset with Ayan. If there was a disagreement or an argument between them, he genuinely wanted to ease the tension and repair their relationship.

Camille smiled faintly and spoke in a low voice, "Grandpa, Ayan and I are doing well. The reason I came alone today is that there's a lot of work at the company. He has two meetings, so I came by myself. If you're angry that he didn't come to see you, we can punish him by making him wash the dishes and then brew tea for both of us. How does that sound?"

The old Simpson immediately laughed, "I think that's a good idea. Let's go with that. You don't need to tell him now; just arrange it the next time he comes."

"Okay, I'll follow your lead," Camille quickly agreed.

Even though it was only Camille accompanying the old Simpson, the two got along very comfortably. The old Simpson always had plenty to say to Camille. Now, the old Simpson showed concern for Camille, "How are you and Ayan lately? Is he treating you well? Is he not bullying you?"

"We're doing great, and he treats me well. He doesn't bully me. If he ever dares to, I'll tell Grandpa right away," Camille said, looking at the old Simpson with sincerity. Her demeanor was obedient and respectful, earning her even more affection from the old Simpson.

The old Simpson gazed at Camille and said, "Tell me if there's anything. If you feel uncomfortable telling me, talk to your mother. They genuinely care about you, and they will always stand by your side."

Camille nodded to each point. Although she didn't want to hear these words from the old Simpson, her expression was somewhat downcast, but she didn't want the old Simpson to see.

She stayed with the old Simpson until around eight in the evening. Ayan messaged her, saying he had finished work. Camille said goodbye to the old Simpson and left the ward.

Camille took the elevator downstairs. Since it was late and she was alone, coupled with the recent incident at the Simpson Group parking lot, she didn't want to go to the garage by herself. She had already texted the driver to pick her up directly at the hospital gate.

At this hour, the hospital's inpatient department wasn't crowded, so she wasn't worried about being seen.
