Dwayne was unjustly blamed and felt very wronged.

After Calvert finished his summary, he strode towards the main entrance of the hospital. Dwayne caught up with him and said, “Calvert, I’m saying this as a friend out of sincerity.”
“No one needs your sincerity. You’re being presumptuous.” Calvert retorted sharply.
Dwayne gritted his teeth, unwilling to be outdone. “Calvert, is a friend’s kind reminder considered presumptuous to you?
“Well then, I won’t help you with this. Just follow the normal procedures. You don’t need my unsolicited kindness.”
He wanted to prove that he also had a temper.
Being constantly bossed around by this couple made him feel that he had no dignity left.
Hearing this blatant threat, Calvert stopped in his tracks. “Fine, you don’t have to help with this. You can handle the client meeting later yourself.”
“Calvert, that’s really going too far. I introduced that client to you, so if you want me to handle the meeting, will you share the commission with me?” Dwayne shouted his name.
With one hand in his pocket, Calver narrowed his eyes slightly. “Really? Why did you introduce that client to me? Do I need to explain the reason in detail?”
“Okay, I owe you this!” Dwayne was completely under control, but he thought he could still struggle a little.
In fact, it was just a tiny, dying struggle.
Calvert looked away, his voice indifferent. “In that case, hurry up and solve the problem. Are you very free?”
Dwaybe was speechless for a moment. Of course, he wasn’t free.
He only came because Calvert called him there.
As soon as Ash entered the room, she began to pack for Sofia.
Sofia trembled as she got out of bed. Her vision was blurred, so every step she took was slow. “Jewel, what are you doing? lin not going anywhere. Listen to me.”
Ash said, “Okay, if you’re not going anywhere, then I’ll stay here with you, okay? There’s room for another bed in this room. It won’t be too crowded, okay?”
Sofia reached out to pull Ash, but accidentally knocked over the glass of water in front of her. It crashed to the ground with a bang, leaving a mess.
Ash immediately put down what she was holding and stepped forward to check on her. “Grandma, are you okay? Are your
hands hurt?”
“I’m fine. Jewel, are you okay? Are your hands cut?” Sofia had a small cut on her cuff, but it was just a scratch, nothing serious.
Ash held Sofia’s hand with heartache in her eyes. “Grandma, please come with me, okay? How can I rest assured if you stay here? Grandma, you promised me before that when I grow up and become capable, you will live with me. Have you forgotten?”

Sofia’s cloudy eyes welled up with tears. “You are such a good girl. You are the best girl in the world.

“Jewel, Grandma is really old. Please stop worrying, okay? I’m fine here, everything is fine, it’s not as bad as you think.” Sofia was obviously reluctant to leave.
Ash closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face, and pleaded, “Grandma, there’s no room for discussion. You must come with me.
“Will you only listen if it’s Dexter? You’re only willing to leave if he asks you to?” Ash suddenly realized that there must be a reason why Sofia was so reluctant to be discharged from the hospital.
She knew that Sofia didn’t want to cause her any trouble, but even after she had exhausted all her words, Sofia was still unwilling to compromise. There must be some reason for this.
Sofia looked obviously dazed for a moment, but still did not reveal anything. “Jewel, this has nothing to do with anyone. I’m old, and I don’t want to bother anyone anymore.
“I know better than anyone what my body is like now. I’m content with how things are. Jewel, no one owes me anything, and no one needs to make it up to me.”
Her frail body couldn’t handle such emotional fluctuations. Sofia held Ash’s hand a little tighter and coughed a few times. “Jewel, just come and see me more often in the future.”
Ash remained silent, gently patting Sofia’s back to help her catch her breath.
Sofia sighed for a long time. “Jewel, I know your heart. Please don’t make things difficult for me, okay? I’m really tired. I don’t want to do this anymore.
“I’ve never regretted not telling you all these years, because you wouldn’t be like this now if I was around.” As she spoke, Sofia started coughing again.
Ash frowned and discreetly checked on her condition. It was extremely unstable. Sofia was practically just an empty shell
now.
She moved up Sofia’s arm, pressed on a point, and slowly massaged it. “Take a deep breath when I apply more pressure.
“Slow down your breathing when I ease up.” Ash supported Sofia’s waist with her free hand and began massaging in coordination.
Sofia’s breathing gradually became smoother, and she seemed much more comfortable.
Ash helped Sofia back to bed. “Jewel, are you studying medicine now? Why are you so skilled?”
“I’ve only learned a little bit, I’m not that good yet. Grandma, come back with me. Even though I can’t make you fully recover, it will definitely be much better than it is now.
