Chapter 599: Chapter 599: Hurry to the Hospital
Daniel Marshall remained silent, staring at Olivia Jenkins with deep, dark eyes that seemed to be about to shoot sparks.
Suddenly, Daniel’s phone rang.
He shifted his gaze to look out the window into the night as he picked up his father’s call.
“Daniel, get to the hospital quickly,” Michael Marshall implored urgently from the other side. “Your grandfather has not eaten anything all day, and he can’t go on like this. Please try to coax him.”
Daniel scowled, “I understand.”
Michael didn’t know what else to say. After a pause, he hung up.
He didn’t like Olivia Jenkins and would rather ask his son to come to the hospital than seek her help.
He hoped that by spending some time soothing his old father, he would soon forget about Olivia and they could get rid of her from the Marshall family for good.
They couldn’t let this woman lead them by the nose.
Daniel was troubled by the state of his family, but he knew he couldn’t ignore his grandfather.
Daniel instructed the driver to pull over and instructed him to bring Olivia back to Pearl Lake Riverside.
From then on, Olivia neither opened her eyes nor responded to Daniel.
…
Granddad refused to talk to Bella Thompson and Matthew Marshall, and also refused to eat the porridge Bella had prepared. Michael had to ask Bella and Matthew to leave.
Daniel brought a thermos and walked slowly into his grandfather’s private room, expressionless.
Even though he knew his father was present, Daniel didn’t give him a glance or a word, remaining absolutely indifferent throughout.
Michael knew his son was still angry, so he stayed in the lounge and didn’t come out to meet him.
Seeing his grandson bringing porridge and then feeding him, the old man perked up and agreed to eat.
After finishing the meal, Daniel gently wiped his grandfather’s mouth.
Turning his gaze around the room, Granddad asked, “Where is Miss Snow?”
There was a sour tinge of pain in Daniel’s heart, but he still patiently coaxed, “Grandad, Olivia has things to deal with. She has to manage the company and can’t always be with you. Starting from tomorrow, I will arrange for someone to take care of you, and we will also try to spend time with you when we can. Is that okay?”
Granddad was displeased and stared sternly at Daniel. “Have you been bullying Miss Snow, causing her not to visit me?”
After a few seconds of silence, Daniel opened his lips slightly, “Granddad, Olivia does have a lot to do, and she genuinely doesn’t have much time to be with you constantly. We should understand. Recently, she’s been working hard and hasn’t had much rest, let’s give her some time to get some proper rest. Otherwise, it will take a toll on her health. Don’t worry, I won’t allow anyone to bully her.”
Huffing, Granddad’s gaze grew resentful and he fell silent.
Daniel continued to coax, “Granddad, I promise you, as long as Olivia is in Serene City, she and I will visit you every day.”
“You better not lie to me.”
“I won’t lie to you. You can trust the people I arrange, they won’t hurt you.”
“Alright, I’ll let the person you arranged to accompany me for now.”
Daniel nodded slightly, a small smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
Granddad was the only person in the family that made him feel somewhat comforted. It was only because of Granddad that he maintained any contact with the rest of them. Otherwise, he would have nothing to do with them.
After setting down the thermos, Daniel brought a basin of hot water to wash Granddad’s face and cleanse his body.

Adam Howard resolved the small mishap at the club, but Benjamin Davis was still sitting at the bar, drinking.
Wishing to keep Adam from clashing with Benjamin, Martin Wallace dragged Adam away.
Adam gave Benjamin a vicious glare before leaving the club.
As soon as he got outside, Adam called Simon Howard on the phone.
