Not Her

Day Eighty-Six…

~~******~~

[ Syphiruz Medical Facility… ]

Nathan and Ethan visited Old Man Xu in the medical facility. Just like what Butler Li had said, the old man finally regained consciousness since Butler Li stopped injecting him with sedatives.

"Grandpa… are you feeling better now?" Ethan asked his grandpa worriedly as Nathan assisted the old man to sit up on his sick bed.

His physical wounds were already healed but the marks were still visible on his skin.

"Oh, Ethan, you are here. I'm feeling better now, especially since you are now here." He opened his arms, asking for a hug.

Ethan climbed on the bed, hugging his grandfather. "I'm glad, Grandpa. Don't get sick again. Let's go home."

Old Man Xu nodded, letting out a soft chuckle. He gazed up only to see Nathan's serious expression.

"Hey, son. Are you that worried about me? I'm a strong man. So cheer up." Old Man Xu tried to lighten Nathan's mood.
