Chapter 1272: Relaxation
Ayan, who was called upon, raised an eyebrow and a faint smile appeared on his face. He replied,
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. Can we start eating now? Your granddaughter Cami is already hungry. As for
me, your grandson-in-law, I don't really mind whether I eat or not."
"In that case, I'll punish you by not letting you eat today," the old Simpson chuckled at his words. He
had originally intended to sternly tell him not to eat, but the tone of his words ended up filled withnovelbin
laughter.
With Camille's calming and explanation, the old Simpson's words were clearly just a joke.
The pace of this meal was somewhat slow. Recently, if Ayan wasn't in Hance City, Camille wouldn't
come specially either. After all, Fletcher would be there to accompany the old Simpson every day, so
Camille would likely have to shuttle between the company and the Simpson's mansion.
During the meal, Ayan received a phone call and went to the balcony to continue the conversation.
At the dining table, only Camille and the old Simpson were left. Today, the old butler and the cook
Nanny had eaten earlier and were now watching TV in the living room, deliberately creating space for
the three of them to talk.
Of course, the old Simpson was well aware of Ayan's upcoming business trip. Now that Ayan had gone
out to take a phone call, the old Simpson lowered his voice and asked Camille, "Is he going on this
business trip alone?"
Camille was slightly puzzled, not fully understanding the old Simpson's meaning, but she replied, "Kian
is going with him."
"Aren't you going? He didn't ask you to go with him?" The old Simpson's tone carried a hint of anxiety
and concern, and his cloudy eyes revealed some emotions. He said, "He'll be away for about a week
on this business trip, right? For such a long time, you should accompany him. This foreign country is so
far away, you have to keep an eye on him, watch over him, and not give him any chance to relax."
The old Simpson's words made Camille burst into laughter.
Camille looked at the old Simpson helplessly. How much did he distrust Ayan?
She served the old Simpson a bowl of soup and spoke softly, "Grandfather, I know you're concerned for
my well-being, but I trust Ayan. Because of your constant guidance and teachings, I believe he won't do
anything to disappoint us. And more importantly, his work keeps him busy, and I'm also quite busy now.
In the future, there will likely be more situations like this, so I think it would be best to give each other
maximum trust. What do you say?"
The old Simpson listened carefully to Camille's words. Hearing her speak like this, he subconsciously
nodded and said, "Hmm, you're not wrong. Then, follow your own thoughts. Regardless of any
situation, you can always tell me immediately. With me around, no one dares to bully you."
"Okay, I know Grandfather always treats me the best," Camille said as she watched the old Simpson
finish his soup and almost finish his meal. The two of them then left the table and sat in the nearby
resting area.
Although they were staying in the hospital, the old Simpson's living requirements here were not much
different from those at the Simpson's mansion.
Even though it was a hospital room, it was like a fully equipped small apartment, which was enough to
meet the old Simpson's needs.
Ayan's phone call lasted for about half an hour, which was understandable considering it was a matter
related to his company.
After finishing the call, Ayan waited for the old Simpson to finish his meal and then played a few rounds
of chess with him. Although the old Simpson was old, his mind was still sharp. Even someone like
Ayan, who was good at chess, had to play seriously, as a slight oversight could lead to the old Simpson
winning directly.
Camille sat by the side, accompanying them, occasionally serving tea and washing some fruits. Time
passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the two had been at the hospital for more than three hours. Although there was
still some time before Ayan's flight, after the old Simpson finished the second game, he proactively
said, "I'm tired and want to take a nap. You two can go back now. Be careful on your business trip,
make sure to arrange everything in Hance City, and prioritize the family. The company has a team to
take care of things, so you don't need to worry too much. But Cami and Timmy are the most important,
so make sure to arrange everything properly."
The old Simpson made these arrangements with a serious expression. Ayan listened attentively and
nodded in agreement.
After seeing the old Simpson get up and return to his room to rest, Ayan gave some instructions to the
butler and then took Camille to Dr. Ellis's office.
He had already arranged a rough time to meet Dr. Ellis in the morning, so when they arrived at the
office, Dr. Ellis had just finished his busy work.
Although Dr. Ellis was referred to as a doctor, his actual position was the hospital's director, so Ayan
was very reassured with the old Simpson staying here.
Ayan had a conversation with Dr. Ellis about the old Simpson's health condition. Dr. Ellis said, "Your
father is always paying close attention to the old Simpson's condition. Don't worry, everything seems
fine at the moment, and based on the current situation, we estimate that the surgery can officially begin
in about one or two months."
Ayan was happy to hear that and nodded, saying, "I'll leave Grandfather in your care. I won't be in
Hance City for the next week, so if there are any developments, please inform Derek and have him
contact me."
He was also worried about poor international signal and not being able to contact Ayan. But if he left it
to Derek, Derek would find a way to reach him.
Dr. Ellis nodded in agreement and reassured Ayan that the old Simpson's health was really well-
maintained.
After chatting with Dr. Ellis for a few minutes, they left and held hands as they took the elevator to leave
the hospital.
Once they got in the car, Ayan didn't immediately drive away. Instead, he calmly sat in the driver's seat,
lost in thought. Camille looked at him puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"
Before he had a chance to respond, his phone started ringing. It was Ayan's phone.
He answered the call, put it on speakerphone since it was only the two of them in the car, and spoke
indifferently, "What did you find out?"
"Understood, Mr. Simpson."
Ayan ended the call and then drove the car out of the garage. Camille finally spoke up, "So, Quintus
doesn't have any problems, right?"
"Well, that's how it appears for now." Updated at Draмаnоvеls.cоm
"Then there shouldn't be any issues, but for safety reasons, it's better for me not to come over for now."
"Okay."
Ayan agreed with her words.
It had probably been a long time since they had spent such alone time together, so both of them were a
bit unsure of what to do.
