Chapter 193

Grandpa Hale’s birthday banquet shouldn’t have been over yet. Why was Ethan Hale here?

“Is that Mr. Hale?”

Ian Reed had seen him too. He remembered something and asked, “Wasn’t he just being interviewed about his marriage to Chloe Bennett?”

The man, who was walking away quickly, cast a dark, sideways glance at Ian’s hand, which was still resting on Mia

Carter’s waist.

When Ethan’s figure finally vanished, Mia’s thoughts snapped back to reality.

She quickly pushed Ian away.

“Sorry, I reacted without thinking,” Ian said, his hand freezing in mid-air for a few seconds before he awkwardly pulled it back.

Mia ‘smoothed her dress. “Thank you. Goodbye.”

She turned and left, heading straight to her car. Once inside, she immediately called Lila Hale.

The phone rang and rang, but no one picked up.

Mia’s heart began to climb into her throat.

Finally, just before the call timed out, Lila answered.

Lila, what happened?”

The background on Lila’s end was chaotic. She spoke in a hushed, strained voice. “Grandpa suddenly felt unwell. His blood pressure spiked, and we rushed him to the hospital. How did you know?”

The paramedics had moved so fast that Mia hadn’t been able to see who was on the

gurney.

I’m at the hospital,” Mia said, her voice heavy. “I’m in the parking lot. I won’t come up for now, but let me know he second there’s any news.”

Lila nodded repeatedly. “Don’t worry too much. It’s not critical. The doctors think he’s just exhausted. He’s old and hates fuss, but it’s all my mom’s fault. She insisted on using the banquet to announce Ethan and Chloe’s

wedding…”

She grumbled for a bit longer.

After the call ended, Mia stayed in her car.

About half an hour later, Lila sent a message: Grandpa’s blood pressure had stabilized.

He was simply too old to handle the stress. The doctors ordered him to stay for two days of observation before going home to rest.

The entire Hale family had been holding their breath.

Grandma Hale sat by Grandpa’s bed. “All of you, leave. I’ll stay here with him.”

Mom, you’re not young either. You can’t handle staying overnight in a hospital. If you get sick too, the whole family will fall apart, Miranda Hale urged.

She stepped forward, reaching out to support the old woman.

Grandma Hale pulled her hand away. “Oh, so now you’re afraid? I told you not to hold a big banquet, but you wouldn’t listen! The engagement party was a disaster, and now the birthday banquet is a mess. Are you trying to cill us?”

Mrs. Hale, please don’t say that. Ethan and Chloe getting married is a joyous occasion,” Sandra Bennett nterjected with a fawning smile. “Don’t get yourself worked up over this. You need to stay healthy so you can attend their wedding!”
