My Evil Boy Toy

Chapter 125 - 125 - Get Well, Grandpa

When we arrived at the palace, Jayden dropped me off at grandpa's bedroom. He said he would talk to him alone so he left me so I could be with grandpa. He also reminded me to not leave his room alone and send him a message once I'm done chatting with.

"I'll come and get you. Just send me a message. I'll be in my office." He said.

I nodded. He gave me a quick kiss on the lips and left only when he was sure I'm inside the room.

Jayden couldn't trust the people in the palace anymore. I can sense that he's always alert and anxious. I can't blame him. After knowing that George was also my father's spy, we have to be more careful and smart. We could only trust each other for now.

I walked inside grandpa's room and walked towards him. I saw him on the bed, sleeping. He became thin and I could see that he's pale. I sat on the chair by the bedside. My heart felt like it was being stabbed. I know Kyle feels the same way. He is affected by grandpa's illness more than me.

Grandpa took him in when he was just six months old. He became his father and mother. Mom died and he doesn't even know who his father was. I'm not sure if he wanted to know or meet his father but I know that grandpa is everything for him.

Though he got Emily now, losing the only person who was with him all his life was really painful. Yet, he couldn't even show us that he was hurting. He would be the king in two months so he couldn't show any weakness to the people.

But sometimes I wish he could at least show his soft side to me. I am his sister after all. We didn't grow up together but I really love him as my brother.

"What are you thinking?" It was grandpa.

I was surprised when he suddenly woke up and spoke. He was smiling at me. I held his hand and smiled back at him.

"Hey, grandpa. I'm sorry I was busy."

He squeezed my hand and whispered, "Don't lie to me. I know what happened. Are you okay now?"

I was surprised. Maybe Kyle told him about it. It's his duty to report everything to the king or maybe he couldn't lie to grandpa.

"I'm okay. He didn't really hurt me. My injuries were due to my own doing when I escaped."

He took a deep breath and I know he was still worried. When we first met, he was an epitome of a strong monarch. A dignified and a proud man. Now, he looks weak and fragile.

I wanted to cry but Kyle's words were always on my mind saying that I shouldn't cry in front of grandpa. We need to be strong for him.

"Grandpa, Jayden and I will go home for now. We are worried about Caden but we will be back in two months with him so be strong and get better. I will send Missy to accompany you and take care of you. I wanted to go with you but I'm worried Father might follow me and I don't want to involve you with him." I said while looking at him.

"I understand. Caden needs you more than anyone. His parents just got married and after three years apart from his father, he was left to your friends. He was still young but already experienced a lot of stress because of his parents. So make him happy by staying with him. I will be back stronger like a bull before your brother's coronation." He said in a positive way.

"Take care of yourself and don't be stubborn, okay? Follow the doctor's advice and Missy's. I will call her everyday." I warned.

"You are like your brother."

"Grandpa? Did you know who Kyle's father is?" I asked, curiously.

"No. But your brother knew who his father was. I didn't ask him because I can see that he doesn't want to talk about him." He answered.

I didn't ask further. I was really curious about his father but I don't want to force Kyle to tell me.

"How's your husband? Still stubborn as ever?" Grandpa asked.

"He's fine. He really felt guilty about what he did to me so he's doing everything to make it up to me. I'm happy with him, grandpa. We are planning to have another baby." I said in a gentle voice.

He smiled. "That's great! I'm happy that you are happy. And I can see your brother is happy with his wife. He also told me they are planning to have a baby now."

"Really? Wow! I hope Emily and I will conceive at the same time so we could experience it together." I exclaimed.

"I am hoping I could still see your children." He whispered in a sad voice.

His face saddened and tears suddenly fell from his eyes. My chest hurts so much but I needed to stay strong. I bit my lips to stop my tears from falling.

"Grandpa, you will. We will all be waiting for you. You will spend the rest of your lives with us. You will play with your great grandchildren so be strong and have faith."

"I have faith. Don't worry. I'm not going to die yet. I want to see Kyle ascend the throne and rule Flousia. I wanted to see Caden marry Alira." He said.

We laughed about it. Caden and Alira seem to really like each other. They're just three year old kids but Alora said Caden was always with Alira and her daughter didn't mind it at all.

"Can you call Kyle and your husband for me? I need to talk to them." He suddenly said.

"You don't need me?" I pouted.

"I need to talk to the future king and the prince. You understand that right?" He murmured.

"I know. I'll text Jayden now. He didn't want me to go out of your room alone."

"He's overprotective. But you just have to understand that it's for your sake."

"I know that grandpa. I'm okay with it. I want him to protect me, it's cute." I said, smiling widely at him.

Grandpa chuckled and shook his head. I asked the servants to bring some snacks for us and we continued to chat a little more until Jayden and Kyle arrived.
