Chapter 1056
Jared studied Chloe's demeanor and surmised that she did not seem to be lying, but he also knew that Nicole wasn't known for her veracity, and thus, he decided it would be better to investigate so as not to misunderstand Nicole.
"The steak here is wonderful." Jared rose up to his feet.
"Enjoy your meal."
Chloe looked on with a smirk as Jared left the premises.She knew that her words had taken hold in Jared's heart.
In the car, Jared began pondering if there was truth in her words.To avoid jumping to baseless conclusions, he decided it would be better to let Claus look into it.
"Claus, I want you to look into what Chloe has just said."
"Mr.Johnston, is it possible that Chloe is trying to sow discord among you and Miss Riddle?"
"Don't worry about her,"Jared replied.
"I wish to know everything that had happened in my absence."
"Okay."
Claus drove Jared back to the villa and began his investigation as the latter had ordered.
The very next day, Henry arrived at the hospital in the morning.
When he pushed the door in, he was greeted, much to his surprise, by the sight of Nicole and Jared together.
Seeing this, he flashed them a smile.
"Ah, I see you're all here.Is your grandpa getting better?"
Faking his concern, he strode up to Mr.Johnston Sr., and was relieved to see that his eyes were still closed.
"What brought you here this early, Uncle Henry?" Jared turned to him and asked.
"Has the project abroad been completed?" Henry sauntered over and took a seat on the couch.
"There are still some bits and pieces left to take care of.I've asked Max to stand in during my absence."
Jared sat on the other side and began to study Henry from top to toe.
"I knew there was no one else in the company who could have handled that project except for you," Henry remarked with a false compliment.
Soon after, the physician came in for one of his routine check-ups, and Henry watched the doctor as he worked.
Following the conclusion of the examination, he asked, "Doctor, is my dad going to be okay?"
The doctor looked at Henry and said, "Yes, he is expected to regain consciousness soon."
"Oh?"
An imperceptible fear flashed in Henry's eyes as they widened, but he masked it with a smile at once.
"That's wonderful." Henry reluctantly said.
