Rainny White was afraid the cane would hit her, and she stood up immediately.
Everyone’s gaze instantly focused on her.
Rainny White’s face turned red at once.
"Brother Carter, Grandfather, I... I,"
Before Carlos could speak, Old Master Carter rudely interrupted her.
"Who is your grandfather?
At such a young age, you don’t learn well. You shouldn’t be thinking about things you shouldn’t."
Reaching this age, Old Master Carter had seen all kinds of women in the business world.
Looking like Rainny White, seemingly pretty and obedient, but just by looking at her shifting eyes, one could tell she was up to no good.
Unlike their little nurse, whose eyes were clear and bright, with a determined look, you could tell she had a good heart.
While scolding, Old Master Carter also gave Carlos a glare, calling him a blind fool, just like his mother.
In the past, Old Master Carter couldn’t oppose his daughter’s marriage decision, but with his grandson’s marriage, he insisted on keeping a close eye.
As long as he, the old master, was alive, Emily was undoubtedly the perfect choice for his granddaughter-in-law.
"Grandfather, don’t be angry, have some soup."
Emily hurriedly pushed a bowl of soup in front of the old master.
The moment before, Old Master Carter’s fierce expression softened when he saw the soup and obediently drank it.
He smiled with squinting eyes,
If anyone dares to bully you, I’ll break their legs."
Carlos suddenly felt a chill down his pants leg.
Rainny White felt even more aggrieved upon hearing this.
Why was it that Emily could call Brother Carter’s grandfather, Grandpa, but the old master wouldn’t allow her to do the same?
"Tsk tsk, young people these days don’t even know how to walk properly, trying to snatch a wheelchair from an old man like me.
I’m so mad, I’m so mad, I can’t eat anymore.
I want to go back to the ward."
Old Master Carter said angrily.
Emily secretly found this amusing, not sure who just drank two bowls of porridge and still wanted a third.
"Rainny, if your leg is fine, please help my grandfather. Besides, give your roommate a call to come pick you up.
I have to accompany my grandfather for a check-up."
Carlos also displeased with Rainny White’s deception, but didn’t think much more about it.
In his heart, Rainny White was still very naive; she probably just pretended her leg was injured to spite Emily.
Rainny White lightly bit her lip as she watched Old Master Carter take her wheelchair. Emily was about to push it when Carlos had already pushed the wheelchair forward.
Emily and Carlos walked side by side, and the two appeared well matched in both appearance and height.
Old Master Carter, seeing the matching pair, smiled so much that his eyes became narrow lines.
In the hospital office, Sophie Parker was applying an ice pack to her face.
"Brother Adam, do you regret dating me?
Otherwise, why suddenly say you want to postpone the engagement?"
Sophie Parker questioned, still feeling the burning pain on her face from the heavy slaps Emily had given her just now.
What was even harder for her to accept was Adam Willow suddenly saying they needed to postpone their engagement.
"Little Sophie, don’t overthink it.
It’s just that I’ve been too busy lately. You know, Love & Kindness Hospital will soon be under the scrutiny of the X Research Institute.
Director Shan values me highly and intends to let me be in charge of the reception work for the X Research Institute.
I was afraid of delaying our engagement, so I suggested postponing it."
Adam Willow comforted Sophie Parker, and only then did she turn from anger to joy,
"I told you, Brother Adam, you’re so capable, like gold, you’ll shine eventually.
Back at People’s Hospital, you weren’t valued because you lacked connections. Wait until X Research Institute collaborates with Love & Kindness Hospital, they will definitely promote you."
"Additionally, one more reason for postponing the engagement, you know, I don’t have much money at hand.
Engagement requires a considerable expense, so I plan to wait a year or so."
"There’s no need for so long, didn’t you already give me your savings to invest in stocks?
Our stocks have been performing quite well recently.
In a few months, they might double."
Sophie Parker said joyfully as she pulled out her phone to open the stock app.
Thanks to the dream she had, her stock market ventures had been quite profitable over the past couple of months.
Both Adam Willow and Mrs. Parker, even Grace Willow, had entrusted her with their private funds for stock investment.
Grace Willow even boasted outside that her daughter-in-law was a stock market expert.
Sophie Parker opened the stock app and suddenly her expression changed.
"How’s the stock market doing?"
Adam Willow didn’t know much about stock trading, so he left it all to Sophie Parker. She had shown him previously how he could earn quite a lot in a few days, so he hadn’t asked many questions.
Sophie Parker hastily put down her phone, forcing a smile,
"We’ve made a lot of money.
Brother Adam, I haven’t had lunch yet, Emily knocked over my packed meal."
"I’ll order some takeaway for you." Official source is novel·fıre·net
Adam Willow smiled indulgently and went out to order.
Only then did Sophie Parker hurriedly pick up her phone again. A second glance showed her stocks had plummeted!
Sophie Parker suddenly had a bad premonition; could it be that her dream was inaccurate?
