Winnie borrowed a wheelchair from the hospital. After registering, she wheeled Sebastian to the orthopedic department on the third floor.

By a stroke of chance, she bumped into Josiah in the corridor on the third floor.

With Josiah making the arrangements, all the procedures became much simpler and more efficient.

When Sebastian went in for an X-ray, they both waited outside.

Worried that she would disrupt Josiah’s work, Winnie suggested, “Why don’t you get back to work? I’ll be fine waiting here alone.”

Josiah murmured an acknowledgment, but he didn’t budge an inch.

“Where’s Yolanda? Is she not by Old Mr. Xander’s side? She’s his family, so it should be her keeping guard here instead.”

“She isn’t answering her phone, but I’ve already texted her. At present, she’s no different from Nate, blinded by love. She’s probably here as well, keeping watch over Nate.”

“What a reprehensible person! She abandoned her own biological grandfather to care for a man who doesn’t love her and only uses her. Could she be a so-called simp?” Josiah couldn’t resist grousing.

Winnie shrugged in perplexity.

Then, she queried, “By the way, did Xavier tell you when he’s coming over?”

Josiah glanced at the time on his watch. “It should be soon. Who knows, he might have come to the hospital by now. I’ll ask him.”

“Sure.” Since the man offered to ask Xavier that, Winnie couldn’t be bothered to take her phone out of her bag.

However, Josiah soon received a call. It seemed that an operation required the use of a particular machine on the spur of the moment, so he needed to go over to sign the approval form.

“Something urgent came up, so I’ve got to leave first. Phone me if you need any clarification about Old Mr. Xander’s condition.”

In response, Winnie nodded. “Go ahead. There’s no need to worry about me.”

“Okay, I’ll be leaving, then.”

Josiah had only taken a few steps away when something abruptly occurred to him. “Oh yes, I have the day off in the afternoon. The management at Aqua Moana said there’s a document to be signed, so I’m going over to sign it. Your grandmother is the only one left at your house. Can she manage? Or shall I also handle it for you when I go over?”

Surprise washed over Winnie. “You’ve also got a unit there? Why have I never heard you speaking of it in the past?”

Josiah nudged the glasses on the bridge of his nose. “Indeed, I didn’t have a unit there in the past. But you’ve been living there recently, so Xavier naturally won’t live too far from you. To make it more convenient for me to monitor his condition, I had no choice but to buy a unit there. Actually, it’s not too bad. It isn’t that far from the hospital.”

“I see. In that case, please also help me settle the matter with the management. I received a notification from them a few days ago, but I hadn’t had time to inform my grandmother about it.”

“Sure! Just leave it to me. Then, you don’t need to mention it to her anymore.”

Shortly after Josiah left, Winnie received a call from Xavier. “I heard from Josiah that you’re also at the hospital. Is Old Mr. Xander okay?”

“He’s having an X-ray presently, but it shouldn’t be anything major. Where are you right now?”
