Chapter 58
The hospital room was empty except for Phelps
Timothy’s face immediately changed.
“Where is she?‘
“She’s been discharged.“||
Phelps pushed himself up with his cane.
Without hesitation, Timothy pulled out his phone and dialed Sheila’s number.
It rang, but no one answered.
Timothy glanced up meeting Phelps’s calm, unwavering gaze.!
“She was only back in the country for a few days. What could she pass
possibly have done to offend you?”
Phelps walked over and gently patted Timothy’s shoulder. Timothy, your grandfather was hospitalized. The call came to me, so I came to let her know. She left in a furry after that. That’s all. I didn’t say anything else?
A vein pulsed on Timothy’s forehead. He turned on his heel and strode out, heading straight for the airport.
Phelps made his way to Henry’s room.
Inside Sale and Henry sat across from each other, locked in a silent staring contest.
Is Henry feeling better?” Phelps asked with genuine concem
Sallie replied. The doctor just checked on him. He’s much improved. Still coughs a bit, but nothing serious. He’s been prescribed some medication and is cleared to po home.”
“Good. Let’s go, then. Time to head home.” Phelps reached out cheerfully to take Henry’s hand.!!
But Henry pulled away, lifting his head, his dark eyes shining like polished stones as he looked up at Phelps.
“What about Miss Shella?
Phelps smiled gently. “Your great–grandfather’s ill. She’s gone home to see him.
“Will she come back?” Henry’s question was urgente
Sallie locked like she might lose her temper
But Phelps remained patient “Once your great–grandfather’s facing better shell come back
Only then did Honry willingly reach for Phelps’s hand 2
At the airport. Timothy scanned the crowd, searching desperately for Sheila
It took him a while to spot her emerging from the restroom, heading toward security
He hurried over!
Shells saw him and paused, startled “Timothy? What are you doing here?“}
Your grandfather’s sick?”
She nodded. “I just called home. The housekeeper said he took a nasty fall, it’s serious. He’s still in the hospital. I have to go.
Sheila didn’t mention Phelps and Sallie coming to find her.
T come with you. We can see your grandfather together.”
It’s fine, realy I can go on my pwn You and Jessica are still on the outs. If she won’t come home, what about Henry?” “Shee back” Timothy said
e to st
stay put
He knew Jessica doted on him. He’d already cooked her, even promised a wedding photoshoot. She was sure Jessica was indeed at home ||
She had thought about leaving–but until the divorce was finalized, where could she go? Whether she returned to her hometown or checked into a hotel, Timothy could find her any time he warned. She could only wait at home for Timothy to return and finalize the divorce
Phelps and Sulle brought Henry back to The Gilded Whisper Estates
Seeing Jessica at home, they finally relaxed
Sallio smiled at Honry Godel your mother
But Hurry walked over to Phelps instead, looking up at him Miss Sheila gone because Mom came back? is great–grandpa’s illness just made up?” decaica’s fingers froze
Shela had left? Great–grandpa was sick? Could Shela really be Timothy’s sum?N
Her own son actually beloved Shello left because of her, and doubted the story about great–grandpa’s illness N
Salle snapped. Henry, what nonsense are you talking about? You should remember who your mother is.
