Jason looked ruthless without saying anything for a long while.
Eric was waiting for his decision silently.
A few moments later, Jason asked, "Does Nova have a meal?"
Eric was so surprised that he was lost for words the moment he heard Jason's question. It turned out that he spent such long time thinking about Nova not the report.
"Miss. Graham is staying with her family. I think she has no time for it."
"OK, I will eat with her."
In his preoccupation with Eric's last sentence, Jason got out of bed and walked out directly with the medical flask.
Eric took a deep breath behind Jason, thinking that without the high salary of more than a million, he would not choose to take care of a childish man.
Now Nova's ward was crammed full of people, to be exact, her family.
Toby was frowning angrily because the news was likely to stigmatize the Graham and the bad reputation was hard for them to shake. Besides, when he tried to leave with Nova unobserved by the media, she refused, which made Toby more furious.
Nova looked at him indifferently and said softly but clearly, "My dear father, you don't understand what I said. I mean, what I have done has nothing to do with the Graham."
Toby was annoyed at once but he said nothing, in an attempt to calm down.
"Nova, what are you talking about? You are the daughter of the Graham and everything about you must be related by others to the Graham. Are you going to cut all ties with us?"
Ella took Ewan's arm and fondled her belly -- she was pregnant, saying like she cared for Nova.
Nova gave her a blank glare and turned to Toby, "Do you know how the accident happened?"
Ella was stunned, wearing an unnatural expression.
Toby kept frowning, feeling confused by her words.
Nova looked down and seemed to smile. Then she begged quietly, "Dad, I want to talk with you privately."
Toby was surprised. He had not heard Dad from Nova for many years seemingly since he endlessly quarreled with his first wife Ivy or maybe after Ivy died and he brought Lucie and Ella back home. It's been years for Nova no longer called him so affectionately. Recalling that she once acted in pettish to him on his shoulder in the childhood, he was lost in his mind.
Lucie kept examining his face coldly and remained silent.
