Xavier wanted to curse. How could it be a coincidence that she dressed like that and went to the pier in the middle of the night? He didn’t buy it!

it it had been before, wouldn’t have even bothered to listen to the doctor
As soon as the doctor left, Xavier wanted to go to the bathroom, but he refused to say anything to Estelle even if it killed him
Estelle glanced at him, went out, and came back with a male nurse. She talked with the male nurse for a bit and then left the room.
They had been together for so many years, so they understood each other’s expressions well
The male nurse helped Xavier go to the bathroom and gave him a quick wipe down.
When Estelle returned, she had breakfast in hand and said, “If you need to use the bathroom, just say so. I’ve hired a male nurse who can come anytime.”
Xavier grinned mischievously and tried to give her a hard time, “What’s the point of hiring a male nurse? Aren’t you supposed to take care of me? Just do it all yourself!”
Estelle shot him a cold stare, “Do you think I wouldn’t dare?”
Xavier hesitated, and then kept quiet.
After breakfast, when the doctor came to apply an IV, Jonathan called Estelle asking if there was anything he could help with.
Estelle went out to answer the call, saying it was just their grandfather catching a cold and wanting to see her. Nothing serious. She would return to J City in a few days.
Jonathan reminded her a few more things before hanging up.
When Estelle returned to the room, the doctor had left and Xavier was resting with his eyes closed. Estelle sat on the chair next to him playing games, and both of them ignored each other.
Estelle faithfully brought Xavier water every hour, undeterred by his harsh words. He realized that his cold demeanor couldn’t drive her away, so he decided to cooperate.
In the afternoon, five or six of Xavier’s men arrived to visit him. They too bore the marks of last night’s altercation, with swollen faces that looked rather comical.
Estelle remained seated in the corner, engrossed in her games, not even bothering to glance up as the men spoke to Xavier.
“Xavier, everyone else has disappeared since last night. It’s just a handful of us left now. That treacherous Connor is hiding somewhere. When we find him, he won’t get off easy!”
“Xavier, our company’s land was bought by the Lamont Group. They’re going to tear down the warehouse. We have no company now!”
“But I heard that the Lamont Group manager who fought against us last night got fired. Don’t know if it’s true or not?”
“If he got fired, Connor won’t join the Lamont Group either!”
The six of them reported the situation to Xavier together. Xavier’s expression was cold, “I know. Find a place to live for now, we’ll talk more when I’m discharged
The six agreed and left. A chubby man glanced at Estelle and asked carefully, “Xavier, who is she really? Does the Lamont Group want to destroy us because of her?”
Xavier snapped, “It’s none of your business! She’s my sister!”
When those people were gone, Estelle moved her chair in front of Xavier’s bed and said calmly. “Quit messing around, go back to the Hanson family. Your father does care about you!”
Xavier shot her a chilly glare. “You don’t need to concern yourself with my affairs!”
Raising an eyebrow, Estelle countered, “Then why did you claim I’m your sister?”
Xavier’s expression grew somewhat sheepish, prompting him to shift the topic. “Do you think I can’t thrive without the Hanson family?”
“Surviving and living well are not the same,” Estelle retorted.
Xavier sneered, his voice tinged with sarcasm. “Ah, so now that you’ve spent a few days with Jonathan and experienced a life of luxury, you look down on regular people? How do you know I’m not doing well?”
