He held all the food and drinks in one hand and used the free hand to answer the phone, "Hello? Who is it?"
"Your sister!"
The voice was very bossy.
"Hey! What's up? What make someone as busy as you call me today?"
The woman on the other side sighed helplessly before complaining, "Bradley, you're such a stubborn child. If you don't want to come home, we can allow you to live outside by yourself. But how could you miss the blind date we set up for you? Do you know that Miss Tess and her family were waiting for you last night all the time? If you will miss the date, you should tell me in advance. Now they are very angry and accused the Hughes family of having no manner. You just won't give me a break."
Bradley stunned for a moment and said, "Sorry. It's all my fault. I forgot it."
"What? You forgot? How can you be as busy as a policeman that you forgot to go on a blind date?"
"Don't be so mad. I've been a little occupied these few days."
He was indeed busy taking care of Hazel...
"How about this? To save you some worries, why don't you just give me up? Let me be a bachelor for the rest of my life as a punishment."
"Bradley! You are the only successor of the Hughes family. Are you saying this on purpose to see me get mad?" The person on the other end of the phone apparently gasped.
"Alright. I will get married. I promise, okay? I'll have you meet my girlfriend someday."
"A girlfriend? Didn't you hate chatting with women for they are troublesome?" Bradley's words made the other party very surprised.
"But there are women who aren't so troublesome. I'm very busy here. I can't talk too long. Catch you up next time. Bye."
Bradley was somewhat delighted and amused.
Because he had just talked as if Hazel was his girlfriend.
It was true that Bradley didn't like to start a relationship with girls because all those girls acted so weak and delicate in front of him, constantly complaining to him about any discomfort and winning to him. He hated such behaviors.
...
However, Hazel was nothing like them.
Hazel never pretended to be weak. She was so strong and independent, which was quite amusing to look at.
Her character was like that of a boy so Bradley felt pity for her at the same time.
The blind date last night? Bradley deliberately stooped that girl up!
Nothing was as important as taking care of Hazel.
Bradley whistled happily and continued to walk towards the hospital.
He was quite contended if his entire life would be like this.
At this moment, Bradley suddenly stopped and quickly returned to the newsstand. He opened his eyes wide in disbelief and looked at the most eye-catching newspaper.
"Young CEO of the Lee Group Spend a Crazy Night With a Star".
Bradley took a deep breath when looking at the title.
The CEO of Lee Group ... could it be that Lucas?
His potential love rival?
Bradley's heart skipped a beat.
He didn't feel any delight for he found out his rival's scandal. Instead, he was in panic.
The first thing he thought of was:
When Hazel saw this, she must be very sad.
Bradley signed as he didn't imagined that he loved her to such an extent.
When Bradley returned to the ward, Hazel had almost recovered. She was sitting on the bed playing tarot cards. Hearing the sound of the door opening, Hazel frowned and shouted.
"Where have you been? Why did you come so late? You are starving me to death!"
Bradley revealed a doting smile on his face and said, "Because I spent some time buying rice ball that you want to eat."
"Did you get it?"
Hazel immediately looked at Bradley with a pair of eyes shining with expectation like a child.
"Of course. How could Mr. Hughes not get glutinous rice balls. Actually, the pedlar didn't work today, so I put the gun on his head and forced him to do it for you! Isn't that amazing?"
"Bullshit! Hurry up and bring it over!"
Hazel rolled her eyes and grinned. Then she opened her hands with palm up, waiting for the food.
Bradley handed over the meal and sat beside it, watching Hazel wolfing down the food.
Suddenly Bradley was stunned.
He felt sorry for Hazel.
Standing beside the bed, Bradley couldn't help but reach out his hand and landed on Hazel's head, gently stroking it.
...
"Back off! Don't treat me like one of your pets. I am in the middle of my meal!"
Hazel roared fiercely while enjoying her food.
Bradley grinned, his eyes filled with doting emotions.
Glen suddenly raised his head and looked at the vice president in surprise, "What did you say just now? They terminated the cooperation with us?"
