Chapter 406 Visiting Old Mr. Benedict

Not wanting to continue discussing the topic, Nicole swiftly changed the subject.

 

 

“By the way, has Grandpa’s condition improved? I have been so preoccupied nowadays that I haven’t had the time

to drop by for a visit.” Speaking of Benedict, Anna instantly glowed and she stretched out her hand to hold Nicole’s.

 

  

“He has been doing fine these days. He can’t move around because he has just had an operation, but he is awake

and can talk. Wendy and Colton have been taking turns to talk to him these two days.”

As she spoke, she seemed to suddenly recall something.

“He has been complaining about you not dropping by to see him after he woke up. He might even be feeling bitter

about it now. How about you head over and see him?”

Wanting to do so, Nicole nodded. “I will go now,” she agreed, in which Anna let go of her hand.

It was almost time for dinner anyway.

“I know about what’s been going on lately. I have asked for Hayden to be brought over and have dinner together

later. It would be better for you to stay here for a few days while we wait for the truth to unveil.”

Hearing that, Nicole parted her lips to reject, only to have the older woman interject before Nicole could speak

when Anna saw her hesitation.

“Now that Old Mr. Benedict is recovering from such a serious illness, I am sure he will be happier to have you and

Hayden around. Although Hayden is Colton’s child, I will not force Hayden to accept Colton as his father. You can

rest assured.”

Nicole finally felt more at ease when she saw the gentle look on Anna’s face. With a nod, she gave her gratitude.

 

“I owe you my thanks, Mrs. Gardner.”

“There’s no need to stand on ceremony between family members.” Anna laughed. “I will head over to the kitchen

to see what is good. You can go ahead.”

After Nicole gave a short reply, she went to Benedict’s room and pushed the door open.

With how well the closed curtains blocked out the afterglow of the setting sun outside, the room was fairly dim.

There was a small night light lit by the bedside, where the dim yellow light shone on Benedict’s face, giving it a hint

of warmth.

The man had opened his eyes when Nicole entered the room.

His eyes were blurry from being woken up, but they gradually regained their clarity as he responded when he saw

someone walking into his room.

As Benedict propped up his hands and started to get up, Nicole quickly stepped forward to grab his arm and help

him up.

He was squinting as he let out a relaxed yawn.

“Open the curtains, will you? It is too dark here. It is making me uncomfortable.”

She nodded and quickly opened the curtains. The evening sun wasn’t too strong, but the remaining half of the sun

still hanging in the sky dyed the clouds red.

Benedict then turned his head and glanced outside. He must have been sleeping for quite some time now as he had

lost his sense of time.

Eyes narrowed, he thoughtfully looked outside before he let out a long sigh. “I can’t believe my nap went on till the

evening. I even complained before that I only sleep like this because I was sick. Turns out I am lazy.”

She couldn’t help but let a laugh slip when she heard him beat himself up.

Walking back from the window, Nicole pulled up a stool and sat in front of his bed. Although there was no makeup

on her face, her skin was still glowing and soft. She had a smile on her face when she softly reassured him, “It is

normal for the body to be fatigued after surgery. You won’t feel this way anymore after you have recuperated.”

He nodded and agreed, “I will take extra good care of myself then. Those punks don’t let me move around or get

out of bed these few days. I might start sprouting mushrooms soon.” He quite trusted her words now.

Benedict still behaved like a child despite his age. When he said this, he was obviously a little upset from how he

puffed up.
