"Grandpa, you can't be doing this anymore. It will affect your recovery, and as a result, you'll have to extend your stay here." Jared admonished him with concern.
'l know, but it is just too uncomfortable to be in bed all the time. Besides, I didn't make any rigorous movements. I just went to the window to look at the scenery outside.”
Maximillian knew he had done something wrong and spoke with a much gentler tone than usual.
"Mr. Chairman, just hang in there for another week, and you should be able to get out of bed after that. I won't stop you from doing whatever you want after that," the doctor reassured him.
Maximillian nodded in agreement with the doctor's advice.
"Doctor, how long do you think it will take for my grandfather to be discharged from the hospital given his current rate of recovery?" Jared asked.
"With his current rate of recovery, I think it should be about two or three more weeks," the doctor said in Maximillian's presence.
Maximillian, who was on the bed, was happy, knowing that he could leave this boring ward soon.
"Grandpa, you heard what the doctor just said, didn't you? You can get out of here soon." Jared looked at Maximillian, happy for him.
"I hear you." Maximillian’s face broke into a smile.
Jared then checked his wristwatch after he had spoken to Maximillian for a long time. "Grandpa, get some rest. I will come back to see you some other time.”
"Go ahead. With so much going on in the office, you won't have to come over again until I'm discharged," Maximillian said.
Jared nodded, said his goodbye, and left the hospital.
Meanwhile, Nicole, who had arrived at the Sea View Villa, ran into Mrs. Wallace Sr. as soon as she entered the house.
"Why didn't you come home last night? Where did you go?" Mrs. Wallace Sr. asked.
"Oh, I went to Jared's house," Nicole said as she held Mrs. Wallace Sr.'s by the arm.
"Why didn't you tell me about it?” her grandmother asked. “I was up all night, unable to sleep well."
"It was my fault, Grandma.” Nicole said, feeling guilty for making her elderly grandmother worry.
‘It was Jared's fault for getting drunk and giving me a hard time last night. Otherwise, I would have been home,' she thought to herself.
"Grandma, let's go and take a seat on the couch," Nicole said, helping Mrs. Wallace Sr. toward the couch. It was then that Tia came in from the garden, and when she saw that Nicole had returned, she hurried over. “Nicole, you're back."
Then she sat down beside Nicole and whispered, "You didn't call when you couldn't make it back home last night. Your grandma really couldn't sleep, as she had spent the entire night worrying about you."
"I know. Grandma saw me as soon as I came home." Nicole gave Tia a sheepish glance.
"What are you two talking about?" Mrs. Wallace Sr. asked.
"Nothing. You didn't sleep well last night, grandma. Why don't I help you into your bedroom now so that that you may catch some rest?” Nicole turned to look at Mrs. Wallace Sr. with concern.
"Okay. I'm relieved to see that you're back, and I'm really sleepy now.’ Mrs. Wallace Sr. said.
"Let me help you." Nicole helped Mrs. Wallace Sr. up walked her into her bedroom.
After tucking her grandmother in, she walked out of the room. "Tia, don't call me for lunch. I'm going to catch some sleep, too."
Nicole had not slept well either, because she had to take care of Jared last night. Now that she was home, she turned around and headed upstairs to her room.
