Again, the same old talk.
Gilbert stood rigid with his back turned, not moving an inch.
The old man, always trying to push him into taking over the Harrison legacy!
Without a word, he pushed the door open and walked in.
“Ah…”
Behind him, Naylor sighed, a note of resignation in his voice. Couldn’t even his mother persuade him to change his mind? What would it take for him to return?
...
Gilbert had been keeping vigil at Katy’s side in the hospital for two days and nights. On the third morning, seizing the moment while she was deeply asleep, he finally left.
He returned to Golden Oak Manor just before 7 a.m.
As he entered the foyer, he noticed a light on in the living room.
Someone else was awake?
Then, he saw Caroline wheeling herself over, a faint smile gracing her face, “It’s been a few days, I thought you had vanished.”
“Caroline.” Gilbert frowned slightly, his eyes avoiding hers.
Caroline had sent him several messages over the past few days, but he hadn’t replied to any.
“I’m not blaming you,” Caroline chuckled. “You’ve come at just the right time; come have breakfast.”
“…Alright.”
They moved to the dining room, one after the other.
Inside, the hired help and Caroline’s caregiver were already there, with the breakfast table set.
Gilbert pulled out a chair and sat down.
“Ms. Bennett,” the caregiver handed a glass of water to Caroline, “take your medication first.”
“Sure.” Caroline nodded, taking the medication.
Gilbert frowned, “What medication are you taking?”
He recalled that her treatment was mainly through IVs and physical therapy; she wasn’t supposed to be on any oral medication.
“It’s for diarrhea, to settle the stomach.”
The caregiver interjected before Caroline could reply.
