Chapter 214: Chapter 214: I Think She’s Lost Weight

"..."

Of course, she couldn’t.

How could Evelyn Grant possibly have that much money!

"So, Eve, don’t refuse someone’s kindness! It’s not like I’m using this to demand anything from you, am I? If you hadn’t asked, I wasn’t even planning on mentioning it."

Of course, Julian Sterling wouldn’t have brought it up.

Because the money was all from Ryan Sterling.

He just didn’t deny it, but he didn’t admit it either! Even if the truth came out later, he would still have an excuse!

"Do you have to keep pestering me? Julian Sterling, I’m begging you, okay? Just stay away from my life! Since you didn’t want to be involved in my life before, then see it through to the end. Be a man and stop going on about your regrets!"

"This is the one thing I truly can’t help but regret."

"The divestment. Are you going to agree or not?"

Julian Sterling sighed. "That’s... already out of my hands."

Evelyn Grant felt like she was talking to a brick wall.

She went to hang up immediately.

Julian Sterling suddenly spoke up on the other end, his voice gentle. "Your health right now... is it okay?"

"Thanks to you, my world is much better without you in it. The moment you show up, it’s like you’re a walking disaster! Got it?"

"..."

This time, Evelyn Grant didn’t hesitate and ended the call directly.

Before she could even put her phone away, the doctor came in for their rounds.

"How are you feeling?"

"I’m fine. I should be able to leave the hospital." Even if Evelyn Grant wasn’t worried about her brother’s studies, she was still anxious to get back to work at the law firm!

She had already submitted her resignation, but she had to finish her final tasks at the firm to wrap things up properly.

That way, she wouldn’t betray the trust and care Mr. Shaw had shown her.

"No, you need to stay a few more days." The doctor rejected her request outright. "Your body hasn’t fully recovered yet. If you insist on being discharged, you’ll have to bear any and all consequences yourself."

"I can! I can bear them myself!"

Seeing her like this, the doctor immediately changed their tune. "And your family agrees to this?"

"...Can you not tell my brother?"

"Miss Grant, you’re putting us in a difficult position! As doctors, we have a duty to inform the family! Otherwise, if something happens, and your family comes to hold us accountable, what is the hospital supposed to do? Right? You have to consider our hospital’s position too."

Evelyn Grant pressed her lips together and could only nod.

Indeed.

The doctor had a point.

"Alright, just focus on resting. Don’t dwell on these things; it will only slow down your recovery!"

The doctor waved a hand and turned to leave the room.

They walked quickly back to the office and hurriedly returned the call to the person waiting on the other end.

"Mr. Sterling, please rest assured! Miss Grant’s condition is very stable at the moment. We are taking extra special care of her and will not let anything happen to her!"

"Mm," Ryan Sterling’s voice was a little deep. "Is her appetite okay? I noticed she’s lost weight."

"A miscarriage is a medical procedure, after all, and it’s very hard on the body. It’s inevitable she’d be affected to some degree! But I’ve seen Miss Grant’s brother often bringing her food, and she eats it all."

This kind of communication between Ryan Sterling and the doctor was a daily occurrence.

He was closely following every aspect of Evelyn Grant’s condition!

Since he couldn’t be there to take care of her by her bedside, this was the only way.

And he had to keep it a secret. If Evelyn Grant ever found out, she would definitely refuse to stay in the hospital to recuperate, no matter what.
