Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
Outside room 306 of Hope Hospital, a man pushed the door and walked in. He had clear eyes, delicate features, and an incomparable noble elegance emanated from his body.
The old man on the bed moved his fingers slightly, as if feeling someone coming over, and slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing that it was his grandson Romeo, the old man’s gaze softened, and his voice was a bit weak, “You little brat.”
Romeo spoke softly, “Awake?”
“Where am I?” The old man strained to open his eyes and looked around, “What happened to me?”
Why did his whole body hurt so much, and he didn’t even have the strength to speak?
Romeo asked with a light laugh, “Wasn’t it you who wanted to go on a hunger strike?”
He refused to eat or take medicine, forcing him to show up. And in the end, he almost lost his life.
Reminded by him, the old man seemed to remember something. It seemed that there was such a thing. Originally, he wanted to change his position, but his whole body was in so much pain, “Ouch, it hurts!”
Instead of helping him, Romeo complained, “You’re lucky to be out of danger.”
He should endure this little pain, who made him make such a fuss?
“You, you little brat. I just woke up, can you be a little nicer? The old man felt a bit wronged, “It’s all your fault. You tell me, how many days have you not come to see me”
If he hadn’t refused to eat or take his medicine, and had such a big operation, this brat wouldn’t have time to come and see him.
“Who asked you to keep saying things I don’t want to hear? Romeo said.
Every time he came, the old man would mention Serena from the Collins family and talk about the marriage contract from the past.
“You! Humph, I don’t care! The old man turned his head in anger, “I’m in this state. Maybe one day I’ll kick the bucket. Tomorrow you must bring your fiancee to see mel”
Romeo stated firmly, “I don’t have a fiancee.”
“You’re trying to give me a heart attack!” The old man couldn’t help but blurt out angrily, “We have a marriage agreement with the Collins, so you must marry Serenal How else am I gonna explain this to them?”
“The marriage agreement was all your idea.” Romeo replied coolly, “Figuring out how to fix this mess is your problem, not mine.”
“You, you cheeky little. Oh my heart.” The old man suddenly clutched his chest, grimacing in pain.
“Carl, get the doctor. Romeo said.
No sooner had Romeo spoken than the old man waved him off, “No need! I’ve said my piece. If you and Serena don’t show up together tomorrow, you can forget about having a grandpal From then on, whether I live or die, it’s none of your business!”
Seeing the two at each other’s throats again, Carl quickly stepped in to defuse the situation, “Calm down, sir. Mr. Romeo has just been really busy recently.”
“Hmph, you might as well be single for the rest of your life! You lot, always so busy with work. Can’t you spare a little time to think about the big picture of your lives?” The old man said.
“…” How did he get dragged into this? Why was he destined to be single forever? All he did was love his work!
*Swiftly find yourself a girlfriend as well, so certain individuals can witness the blissful life of having a partner!” Phillip hinted with a purpose.
Romeo opened the breakfast he brought and placed it before him, saying, “If Carl had a girlfriend, would you take over his work?”
“I would!” unexpectedly, Phillip readily agreed, and Carl was moved.
“I would, not! But, Carl, if you have a girlfriend, I’ll make sure this lad gives you some time off. At the very least, you won’t need to work overtime on weekends anymore! I’ll also prepare numerous wedding gifts for you! Furthermore, I’ll have him hire a few more people to share your workload!”
Upon hearing this, Carl was deeply touched.
“Especially regarding your salary, it must be increased!”
“Yes, yes, exactly! Look at Carl’s understanding and sensibility! Unlike you, never listening!” Phillip praised others while simultaneously complaining about his own grandson.
Carl basked in the compliments…
“Carl, there’s a project in Antarctica that needs some hands.”
Upon hearing Romeo’s words, Carl became flustered, “Mr. McMillian, what I meant was…”
“You pack your things, and you’ll leave tomorrow.”
“Mr. McMillian!” Carl immediately sought help with a pleading look toward Phillip.
As wise as ever, Phillip skillfully defused the situation, “Carl, I need you to come to me every day after work, just to chat with me. I’m terribly bored!”
“Mr. McMillian, please consider… When you say it like that… Carl tried to use Phillip’s words to his advantage.
Just then, the doorknob turned, and someone surreptitiously pushed the door open.
“It’s me, Mr. Phillip,” a disheveled Susana entered the room, noticing others were present, she hastily composed herself, “Mr. McMillian, Carl, you’re up so early as well?”
It was not yet eight in the morning, and visiting hours should have been prohibited for patients….
Susana must have used her old work badge to get in, took the fire escape, and avoided the cameras to sneak in…
“Who let you in?” Romeo didn’t make it hard for her yesterday out of respect for the hospital director.
But she had the audacity to come in without anyone’s permission.
“Mr. Phillip, Mr. McMillian, give me another chance!” Susana suddenly knelt down, “I really don’t want to leave this profession, please let me work at this hospital again… Phillip, for the sake of me providing advice for your condition, for the sake of me being your doctor…”
She was desperate!
“Was she kicked out of the medical profession?” Phillip asked Carl.
“Yes, she didn’t take any measures when your condition worsened yesterday. Instead, she tried to end your life prematurely. She had a bad intention. Miss Mirabella who treated you yesterday said she doesn’t deserve to be a doctor! Dr. Pierce kicked her out of this profession after hearing about her actions.” Carl looked at this venomous woman, giving her a cold look.
“It’s that bitch who had a grudge against me, tarnishing my reputation in front of the hospital director! Phillip, I was wronged, I have always been dedicated to your condition, you should remember…”
Before Susana could finish her sentence, Romeo’s face darkened, giving off an unhappy aura.
Carl couldn’t believe that even at this stage, this woman still wanted to distort the truth? To slander Miss Mirabella?
Did she think they were blind yesterday? Did she still hope that they hadn’t seen the truth?
“Ms. Susana, I advise you to think carefully before you speak or act!” Carl furrowed his brows and harshly reminded her.
Yesterday, she advocated for the use of sedatives and heart soothers!
And now, the one slandering others is her!
Miss Mirabella is Phillip’s lifesaver, yet she called her a bitch…
