Her Precious Baby

Chapter 256

Evander sat stiffly on the couch, watching Olivine as she held a glass of water and used a spoon to feed Valerie mouthfuls of water.

The older woman gazed at Olivine affectionately and said, “You've stayed with me at the hospital for so long. You should go home and get some rest. I'll be fine with Evander here."’

“All right. I'll take my leave, then.”

Reading the room, Olivine got up from the chair without fuss, grabbed her bag. and exited the ward.

However, she did not go far. Instead, she hid in a comer where she would not be discovered and eavesdropped on the conversation inside the ward.

A long silence ensued inside the room after she left.

In the end. Evander was the first to break the awkward atmosphere. He said in a low voice, “I'll arrange for the help to come here and take care of you for the time being. Just let me know if there's anything you need.”

“There's no need for that,” Valerie replied with a cold snort. “Although I have one foot in the grave, I'm still not at the point where I need someone with me all the time.”

Evander furrowed his brows. There was a hint of annoyance in his tone as he responded, “If you insist on saying such tilings, I won't come and visit you anymore.”

He stuck both hands in his pockets and made to leave.

Knowing he was as stubborn as a mule, Valerie could not help but sigh heavily.

“That's enough. Everyone outside is staring at us, wondering what we're arguing about. Do you genuinely think I'm pushing you to many Olivine as soon as possible merely as a precaution against Angeline?”
