Always Been Yours

Nicholas nodded when he heard that it was something his grandfather could recover from. “That’s a relief.”

Remus abruptly let out a mocking snort as he asked, “What’s the matter? Are you disappointed to see that I’m fine?” It was somewhat out of the blue, and no one knew how Nicholas’ earlier remark had provoked Remus.

“You’re overthinking again. You should really stop twisting the sincerity in my words.” A helpless Nicholas looked at Remus.

Remus let out a harrumph as he expressed his disdain for Nicholas, “If it weren’t for my illness, would you even visit me?”

Nicholas frowned slightly as he knew that Remus was unhappy that he was going to Yvetlave to meet Tessa.

“I rushed back immediately when I heard that you were ill.”

“In that case, should I thank you for purposely rushing back to see me?” Remus rebuked Nicholas angrily.

At this juncture, Nicholas was slightly displeased by his grandfather’s attitude. So, he pursed his lips tightly as he remained in stony silence.

Gregory looked at Remus and then at Nicholas. Then, as if he noticed something, he took the initiative to creep over to Remus’ side. “Great-Grandpa, are you feeling better now? I heard that you’re sick, so I’m very worried.” He raised his head and looked up at Remus with concern in his puppy eyes.

As Remus looked at the adorable little guy, he couldn’t be bothered to hold on to his anger toward Nicholas. “Don’t worry, Greg. I’m fine.”

“I’m happy you’re fine, Great-Grandpa. You must take good care of yourself, so you’ll always be in good health,” Gregory said with his bell-like voice as he looked at Remus admiringly.

This utterly distracted Remus from his anger as Gregory’s adorable manner utterly captured him. “Yes, yes. I will definitely take good care of myself and live a long, happy life with you, okay?” He smiled as he teased Gregory.

Gregory nodded in acceptance of Remus’ words.

Just like that, the tense atmosphere in the ward eased.

During this period, Janet wanted to chat with Nicholas to lessen the distance between them.

Unfortunately, Nicholas had ignored her completely. He even treated her as though she didn’t exist and didn’t even spare her a glance the entire time.

After Remus played with Gregory for a while, he was finally willing to speak to Nicholas civilly. “I heard from Miss Brenner that you were injured. How are you feeling now?”

“It’s nothing serious.”

Nicholas decided to hide the actual situation from him as he didn’t want Remus to worry, especially since Remus was still on bed rest.

Then, the two talked for a while, and Remus fell asleep due to exhaustion.

Once Stefania saw that Remus was asleep, she urged with great concern as she knew that Nicholas had made the trip even though he was injured, “Bring Greg back and rest. Your Dad and I will be here, so your grandpa will be alright.”

As he was indeed a little tired, he didn’t refuse her instructions. Not to mention that it was way past Gregory’s bedtime, considering how he had been yawning several times these past hours.

“Well then, I’ll take my leave. Let me know if anything happens.” With that, Nicholas held Gregory’s hand and left.

During this period, he didn’t even bother greeting Janet as he left.

She chased after them without even thinking twice as she was upset by his cold shoulder.
