Chapter 1109
"Fingers crossed.I hope you'll be able to pay us a visit soon."
"Sure, all the best to you!"
A smile crossed her face as she did not expect Ike to be this excited to see her.
Jared opened the door to his grandfather's ward and walked in as the physician was administering the routine
check-up on his grandfather.
"Mr.Johnston," the doctor greeted.
"How is my grandfather doing?" Jared asked.
"His condition is improving in a slow and stable way, which is good."
"Okay, but how long will it take for him to recover from being bedridden?"
"Most likely in two months or so.Besides, it's advisable for him to get as much rest as he can, so that he achieve a
faster recovery," the doctor advised.
"Thank you very much, doctor," Jared said.
"How's the company doing right now, Jared?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMr.Johnston Sr.asked.It had been some time since Maximillian last enquired about the company, and so, it was only
natural that he was concerned about it as soon as he could muster the energy to do so.
As much as he knew that Jared was more than capable of managing everything well, he could not help but miss his
company.
Jared noticed that his grandfather had made mentions the company multiple times, and so, he figured that he
should offer him a few trivial updates to put him at ease.
For starters, The Beacon factory that we've invested in is achieving progress at a steady pace and has begun mass-
production now.
"Oh, I didn't expect it to make this much progress while I'm in the hospital!"
Maximillian's eyes widened.
"Thank you for your hard work, Jared."
"No, it is my duty," Jared replied humbly.
Maximillian nodded with satisfaction and smiled at him.
"It seems that I've made the right decision by entrusting the company to you.
"What about the sister company that your uncle is managing? Did anything go amiss?"
Maximillian asked, as he was well aware of Henry's capabilities and disposition, and that was why he had only
allowed him to manage the subsidiary company.
"No, he has been conducting himself appropriately these days, but there aren't many projects going on in his
company," Jared lied, knowing that he needed to conceal the truth from Maximillian.
Maximillian would nag, but his concern would not lead up to the point where he was furious at Henry.
"I knew it.He was fortunate enough to land himself a partnership, so I'm not even expecting him to have his hands
on a large number of projects," the old man said.
Maximillian was rather upset when he scolded Henry.However, he was not angry, as he had already anticipated that
something like this would occur.
"Don't get mad at him, grandpa," Jared said.
"You should be taking good care of your health right now.That's all that matters."
"Alright, I won't be aggrieved.I'll just forget about it once I'm done complaining.I have nothing to worry about as
long as you're around."
Maximillian looked at Jared with a smile.
"By the way, why isn't Nicole with you today?" Maximillian asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJared had to lie about this again, and thus, he said, "Nicole was out riding horses at Uncle Ronnie's racecourse, but
the wind triggered a headache in her.
That's why she is unable to pay you a visit today.
"Oh, ask her to take good care of herself, even when she's out having fun," Maximillian said, his tone full of
concern.
"I was the one who hasn't really been taking good care of her.I'll get her some medication later," Jared said, starting
to feel guilty as he recalled the incident last night.
"Jared, I'm not trying to intrude, but you can't neglect Nicole's feelings.I know you've been breaking your back for
the company, but you must still make time for her.Don't make her feel lonely, alright?" Maximillian reminded him.
"Yes, I understand, grandpa.Anyway, you've been sitting up for quite some time now.Aren't you tired?" Jared asked,
concerned about his grandfather.
"Iam, actually," Maximillian replied.
"Just lay me down so that I can catch some rest, please.Anyway, you should go back to work now.I'll be sleeping
soon, so you won't have to sit around to keep me company anymore."
