But looking at Sharon’s bright eyes, Evelyn Clayton really couldn’t refuse.
In the end, she compromised with a smile, "Alright, alright, you be good, I’ll contact him in a bit, okay?"
Sharon showed a big smile, "Okay! Sharon will be good!"
Outside the ward, Yara Reagan and Iris Lockwood looked at Evelyn Clayton with varied expressions.
"What’s wrong?" Evelyn Clayton felt inexplicably uneasy from their gazes.
Iris Lockwood sighed, "You’re spoiling Sharon too much, saying whatever like ’alright, alright, good, good,’ you agree to everything?"
"Yeah. Just like that, meeting him..." Yara Reagan was very worried, afraid that James Grant might use Sharon to eventually take Sharon away from Evelyn Clayton.
Evelyn Clayton also knew what they were worried about.
But as things stood, she could only contact James Grant first.
James Grant received the call and arrived in less than ten minutes.
Yara Reagan and Iris Lockwood watched the situation unfold from the side.
Iris Lockwood glanced at her watch, chuckled, and looked at James Grant, "Director Grant, did you come here by rocket?" Updates are released by NoveI~Fire.net
James Grant was still slightly out of breath, looking like he had run all the way here; he didn’t pay attention to Iris Lockwood and instead looked at Evelyn Clayton with bright eyes.
"How did you get here so fast?" Evelyn Clayton glanced at her phone, it had only been seven minutes since she hung up.
"I, I happened to be near the hospital." James Grant lied.
In fact, he was in a parking lot less than a block away from the hospital.
He had also slept in his car last night.
His assistant came several times, urging James Grant to go back and rest, but James Grant refused each time.
He feared that Evelyn Clayton might change her mind temporarily, or that something might happen with the child, and he wouldn’t be able to appear in time.
Looking at the dark circles under James Grant’s eyes, Evelyn Clayton probably knew that he was indeed nearby, and probably hadn’t gotten much sleep last night.
Just like Shane Sinclair.
Evelyn Clayton lowered her gaze and said softly, "Sharon’s inside, she’s already awake, you should go in."
James Grant’s Adam’s apple moved nervously.
He had never been so nervous before.
His steps slowed towards the ward door, and James Grant saw Evelyn Clayton wasn’t moving, and said hesitantly, "You’re not coming in with me?"
"No, you have a good chat with Sharon." Evelyn Clayton didn’t look at James Grant, her expression remained indifferent, as she sat down on a chair to the side and looked at her phone.
James Grant was taken aback.
He wanted Evelyn Clayton to come in with him, but subconsciously felt he shouldn’t ask for too much.
Lest Evelyn Clayton become annoyed with him again.
James Grant hesitated at the ward door for a while, nervously adjusting his tie, looking less like he was going to see his daughter and more like going to see his father.
Yara Reagan and Iris Lockwood were amused watching him.
God knows, they never thought they’d see such a sight in James Grant in their lifetime.
Suppressing their laughter for a while, James Grant cautiously pushed the door open and went in.
At that moment, it wasn’t just James Grant feeling nervous.
Evelyn Clayton was also a bit anxious, wringing her fingers.
And Yara Reagan and Iris Lockwood didn’t know what to do or say either, they could only peek through the doorway.
After James Grant went in, he closed the door.
Evelyn Clayton forcefully suppressed the urge to go forward and eavesdrop, sitting still with her lashes slightly lowered, while her fingers had begun tapping anxiously on the armrest of the chair.
Hearing this sound, Yara Reagan and Iris Lockwood exchanged a glance, then came forward to keep her company.
"Considering the way James Grant looks, he doesn’t seem too annoying." Yara Reagan pat Evelyn Clayton’s shoulder, "Don’t worry, Evelyn."
