Chapter 897

After receiving his IV, Hamilton's condition stabilized, and he managed to sleep through the afternoon in the hospital. Come evening, Evadne carefully escorted her grandfather back home.

Stepping out of the mansion with Jason, they were immediately met by a weary Thaddeus, who had rushed back home.

"Evadne!"

Thaddeus moved forward to embrace her, his breathing heavy, clearly having hurried back, "I'm sorry you had to go through all this trouble, and here I am, unable to help."

"Don't say that, looking after Grandpa is my responsibility too," Evadne said gently, her hands finding their way to his broad shoulders, beginning to massage them.

"I should check on Grandpa."

"That's probably for the best," Thaddeus sighed, feeling guilty.

The couple made their way to Evadne's sleek car, with Jason taking the driver's seat, ready for a private conversation.
