A smile quickly replaced the frown on Jonathan’s face as soon as he heard Vivian’s words.
“All right. Once I go back, I’ll eat a lot. Then, we’ll play together again!”
“Okay!”
Vivian was so happy at that. She then snuggled into Jonathan’s arms and started to read the fairytale she brought with keen interest.
Sasha let out a heartfelt smile at the scene.
Then, she said to Mark, “All right. Let’s find Dr. Wallen to get his permission to leave the hospital.”
“Okay.”
Mark took in the scene in surprise. After a while, he left to find Grayson.
Ten minutes later, in the director’s office.
As expected, Grayson widened his eyes in disbelief as he exclaimed, “He still plans to attend his son’s funeral in Red Pavilion? Is he out of his mind? With his condition, how can he withstand the devastation of losing his son and daughter-in-law and handle the people who come to cause trouble once he’s there?”
He was so shocked that he didn’t even bother to be tactful with his words like what he previously did in front of Sasha and Mark.
Mark knitted his brows.
“Dr. Wallen, since you’re aware that they are there to look for trouble, if Old Mr. Jadeson isn’t there, how can Mr. Devin deal with them alone? We can’t let him get humiliated and become the laughing stock of Jadeborough without doing anything.”
Hearing that, Grayson could no longer say anything.
A few minutes later, he handed Mark a bottle of medicine. “Remember to take good care of him. He’s already eighty years old, so he can’t withstand so many strong blows.”
“I’ll keep that in mind. Thank you, Dr. Wallen.”
Mark took the bottle gratefully and left.
Indeed, Mark needed that bottle of medicine. After all, even he, as an adjutant, couldn’t be sure about what was waiting for them at Red Pavilion later.
People had regarded the Jadesons as a thorn in their flesh due to the family’s power and fame for years. Now that they finally got to witness such a scandal, there was no way they could let the chance go at ease.
When Mark returned to the ward, Sasha had instructed her sons to coax Jonathan into changing his clothes and finished preparing everything. Seeing Mark, she asked, “Have you gotten it?”
Mark nodded. “Yes. He even gave me a bottle of medicine.”
