Chapter 232: Chapter 232: A Harsh Scolding

"If you say it’s a misunderstanding, then you should resolve it properly! You two are such a good-looking couple, perfect for each other! It would be such a shame if you really broke up because of a misunderstanding." The young nurse looked completely serious. "What are mouths for if not to communicate? If you don’t say anything and she doesn’t say anything, this relationship... it’ll really be over."

She didn’t know what had happened between them, only that it would be a real shame if they broke up.

After all, it’s human nature to want people to make up, not break up.

Julian Sterling’s lips twisted into a bitter smile. "Yeah, thank you."

With that, he turned and walked away.

"Huh?"

The young nurse watched, completely baffled.

’I told him to go explain, so why is he leaving?’

’This guy, honestly...’

’It’s like he doesn’t understand a word I’m saying.’

...

Evelyn Grant returned to her hospital room and didn’t come out again.

’I just don’t want to see Julian Sterling again. Not even for a second!’

It wasn’t until Alex Grant came back that she asked, "Alex, did you see anyone familiar out there?"

"Familiar?" Alex Grant was baffled by the question. "No, I didn’t see anyone familiar. Does the nurse taking care of you count?"

"...That doesn’t count." Evelyn Grant pursed her lips and walked over to her brother. "Alex, can I talk to you about something?"

"Go ahead."

"I really want to leave the hospital. I don’t want to stay here anymore."

Evelyn Grant was very serious this time.

"Why?" He frowned. "Is it because you’re worried about interfering with my studies again?"

She shook her head. "It’s not that..."

After a moment of hesitation, Evelyn Grant decided she had to tell him the truth. Otherwise, there was no way she could convince her brother.

"A little while ago, Julian Sterling came to the hospital. I ran into him."

Alex Grant’s hand froze. He frowned immediately. "What? He has the nerve to show his face here! I’ll go find him. Wait here, Sis. I’m going to give him a piece of my mind and let out some of your anger for you!"

Seeing her brother about to leave, Evelyn Grant quickly grabbed him.

"Don’t! Alex, I didn’t tell you this so you’d go out and pick a fight with him! Haven’t I said it before? What’s past is past. We shouldn’t dwell on it."

"Of course *he* can move on, he’s the one who wronged you! If the roles were reversed, I doubt Julian Sterling would be so forgiving! Sis, you’re just too soft-hearted!"

Evelyn Grant shook her head. "I’m not being soft-hearted. It’s that right now, our family doesn’t have the power or resources to fight them over this. We’ve already lost out, for sure. But if we keep getting tangled up in this, we’ll only lose more. Do you understand?"

Kids his age were all a bit hot-blooded.

It was hard to get Alex Grant to just let it go.

"Sis! It just doesn’t sit right with me!"

"Listen, let’s not get involved with him. What if you confronting him just gives him an excuse to bother me again? The loss would outweigh the gain, wouldn’t it?"

Alex Grant lowered his head. "You’re right..."

’That Julian Sterling is probably just looking for an excuse right now.’

’If I beat him up, or if he beats me up, it would just lead to more complications.’

"Alex, I just want to be discharged and go home to rest. I won’t go anywhere else, I’ll go straight to Mom’s house, okay? You see, people are always coming and going at the hospital. Who knows when that Julian might show up again! I really, truly don’t want to see him anymore."

Alex Grant thought about it. His sister did have a point.

"But your health..."

"Look at me, I’m perfectly fine, aren’t I?"
