Chapter 925

Sidney's expression faltered slightly before he replied, "Just focus on getting better. I can handle everything else." "Oh really?" Ruth frowned. "And what about a wife? Can you handle finding one? Are you going to solve that?" Sidney remained silent.

Ruth sighed, her tone turning serious. "Sidney, you're not getting any younger, you know. By the time I was your age, I already had you, and you were running errands for me. It's time you started thinking about settling down and having a family." With little else to occupy her time in the hospital, Ruth spent her days chatting with other patients.

Her roommate, Jackie Warren, already had two grandsons who visited her every evening, lifting her spirits so much that her health had been steadily improving.

Right now, Jackie had just gone out for a walk with her grandsons, leaving Ruth feeling envious.

Sidney listened quietly, peeling an orange.

When he finished, he handed the slices to Ruth.

"Jackie, you're back," Ruth greeted her with a warm smile.

Jackie nodded, her face crinkling into a grin. "I just dropped my grandsons off, so I came back."
