“What’s up with you really?” Stanley asked.
“I had a collision during the game. The injury was accidental, ” Samuel explained, giving them a general description of everything that had occurred during the game.
Hearing that, everyone comforted him. “Rest well.”
“What other choice do I have?” Samuel grimaced, for he could not move even if he wanted to now.
“Mom and Dad have no idea yet. Since you’re not seriously hurt, we’ll go back and inform them about your injury,” Stanley stated.
The siblings knew about Samuel’s situation, but since the medical examination results were not out yet, they had all decided to hide his injury from Gloria and Daniel.
But now that they had discovered that it was not as big a deal, they had to inform their parents. Samuel was after all going to be hospitalized for a while, and the family had the right to know about it.
“Oh, yeah. Tell Mom and Dad not to worry about me. I just need some rest,” Samuel replied, knowing it was impossible to hide the news from them.
“Sean and Steve are going back at night. They will inform and reassure Mom and Dad,” Steve added.
“Good enough,” Samuel uttered, not wanting his parents to worry about him.
“You’re going to need someone to take care of you for the night. I’ll hire a caregiver for you,” Stanley said while looking at Samuel.
By the looks of it, Samuel would not be able to manage on his own and needed someone to take care of him.
“It’s fine. I can do it. I even have a wheelchair,” Samuel felt that the situation was not dire enough to the point where he was unable to take care of himself. If anything, it would be rather inconvenient and excessive to have a caregiver here to take care of him.
“Oh, we still have June. June could take care of him,” Lulu pushed June forward.
June would not be at ease if someone else were to take care of Samuel. Hearing that the Riddle family wanted to find a caregiver for Samuel, June became too embarrassed to volunteer herself.
June shot Lulu a grateful look, as she did not have the heart to leave Samuel alone. With utmost sincerity, she wanted to stay back and look after him.
“Why, sister-in-law. That’s not what I meant. I know you’re worried and feel heartbroken for Samuel. That’s the main reason why we wanted to hire a caregiver for him,” Stanley explained, not meaning to exclude June in the process.
The word ‘Sister-in-law’ made June’s cheeks red and rosy, forcing her to wear a poker face and say, “I don’t mind.”
Samuel’s injury was one that necessitated tending to, so June was rather willing to take on the job. She did not find the notion of being there for him exhausting at all.
“Are you sure?” Samuel became a little worried.
His concern was that if June stayed back for the night to take care of him just to depart for work during the day, she would not be able to take it.
June shook her head. “I’m really okay with it. I’ve already taken a long leave of absence from my company.”
June had indeed taken a three-month leave to take care of Samuel until he recovered. She just could not leave him to face this on his own.
Samuel’s eyes widened in surprise, for he was shocked by June’s decision. She had actually taken a long leave for the entire duration of his recovery period.
Touched by June’s gesture, Samuel looked at June. “Thank you.”
Samuel knew how serious June was when it came to her job, but in a strange twist, she was willing to take a leave from her company just to take care of him. Deep down, he was really touched.
“Don’t worry about it?” June’s cheeks turned maroon with embarrassment.
“Well then, we should go,” Lulu patted June’s hand. “If you need anything, just hit us up.”
“Okay, I will,” June replied in relief.
After a few more words of advice to Samuel and June, the rest of the family finally left the ward.
Then, Nicole looked at Spencer and Stanley, asking, “Are you going home?”
“I’ll be going in a bit,” Spencer said while looking at Lulu.
His intentions were clear as he wanted to send Lulu home before going home himself.
Nicole and Stanley instantly understood what he was trying to do, so Stanley smiled at Nicole and said, “Seems like you’re going back with me.”
