Chapter 407 Big Baby
Nicole recalled what she told Benedict before when she left.
Benedict had had a craniotomy. On top of that, his body would recover slower due to his old age. That was why it was only expected that she had him stay in bed and rest. “You look like you have healed considerably, Grandpa. I will take you out tomorrow and have a stroll in the yard.”
Nicole then checked Benedict’s wound. As the people in the family had taken good care of him the past few days, his wound was almost completely healed. It should be alright for him to walk around for a bit with her supporting him.
His eyes instantly lit up upon hearing that he could go out for some fresh air. With a nod, he huffed,
“See! I tell those punks that I am fine, but they don’t listen!”
“Don’t get too worked up, Grandpa.” Nicole chuckled. “You have to take care of your body. You can even go out for a jog once you regain your health.”
Benedict hummed in reply, and he added again after giving it some thought, “Right, I want to go out. It feels like it has been so long since I went shopping. What do you think, Nicole? Can I go?”
She saw the look of anticipation in his eyes as he spoke. He looked exactly the same as Hayden when the boy wanted candy back when he was a child.
Still, Nicole managed to not succumb as she coldly rejected, “You can’t.”
Seeing the disappointment on Benedict’s face made her smile a little.
She soon started to coax him, “Grandpa, now is not the time for you to go out. You are just recovering from a serious illness. The commotion outside isn’t good for your recuperation. How about I bring you and Hayden out when you are all better?”
As much as he knew that she was just buttering up to him, Benedict was also aware of his condition. Left with no choice, he could only nod and reply,
“Deal. No going back on your word, though.”
Hearing that, she pursed her lips and smiled.
Just as they were having fun chit-chatting, Anna suddenly walked in and called out to Nicole, “Dinner is ready, Nicole.”

What a waste of reading! This could have been an excellent novel if it hadn't skipped chapters after 531 and then everything is garbled. Get your act together if you still want a reading audience!!!...
