Noelle rushed to the hospital and found Samuel awake. The doctors had checked him over and said he was stable, so he was resting in a regular ward now.
Samuel had been so angry that he had a stroke. When he finally woke up in the hospital, the only person he wanted to see was his granddaughter Noelle. The doctor remembered Noelle from the day of the surgery and agreed to Samuel’s wish. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Even the Shaw family could not visit Samuel without his permission. The doctors were worried about him suffering another stroke because he was old and had been so sick.
Jade was really mad outside the hospital room, saying she would sue the hospital for what they were doing. Julian sat quietly, but inside, he was hurt. He was Samuel’s son, yet his dad did not ask for him first.
Winter was bundled up and wearing glasses, trying not to be seen. She was already in a lot of trouble, and she did not need more problems. She was worried she would lose everything. Jade’s loud complaining was getting on her nerves, but thinking about who caused all that mess made Winter even angrier.
“Mom, please stop yelling!”
“Stop arguing! Didn’t you see how they pushed us around? They won’t even let us see our own family!” Jade was too upset to care about anything else. She just wanted to check on Samuel and figure out how to get Noelle’s shares back.
Noelle got there just as Jade’s voice was cutting through the air. When Jade spotted Noelle, she dashed
toward her.
Remembering what happened the night before, Noelle quickly stepped aside. Jade stumbled, growing even angrier. “You little troublemaker! What are you doing here?”
Noelle’s eyes narrowed as she gave Jade a chilly look. I’m here to see Grandpa.” She tried to walk past Jade into the room, but Jade grabbed her hand. “You can’t go in. Until we sort this out, nobody’s going inside!”
“Let go!” Noelle was surprised at how clingy Jade was being. Jade was from a well–known family, after all. Her grandfather was a respected professor from a family known for their love of learning. Noelle could not understand how her mother could be so different from her maternal grandfather.
Noelle shook off Jade’s hand, her eyes frosty. Jade was taken aback by that icy stare. It reminded her of that woman, the one who always looked down on everyone with such pride.
No, it could not be! She was not her! (1
Jade let go, still in shock, and Noelle hurried to the ward door. Just then, a nurse came by, saw Noelle,
and asked, “Are you Noelle?”
Noelle nodded. “Yes, that’s me!”
“Perfect timing. The old man inside has woken up and is calling for you. Come with me, the nurse said.
“Okay!” Noelle nodded and followed the nurse into the room.
The nurse gave Samuel a new IV bag and, seeing he was awake, patted him on the shoulder. “Your granddaughter’s here!”
Samuel looked up and saw Noelle. He waved eagerly. “Noelle!”
