“Your grandfather experienced seizures this morning, and It’s best for the family to cto the
hospital.”
At Dr. Brooks’s words, Candice immediately becalert.
She inquired about the situation, and after confirming that her grandfather had been attended to, she
quickly prepared herself and left.
It had rained all night, and it was a bit chilly when she opened the door.
Candice hurried to the hospital, where Dr. Brooks, who had been on night duty, was still in her
grandfather’s ward.
Candice looked at the elderly man lying on the bed, already in a deep sleep, her lips pursed, and her
expression grim.
After Dr. Brooks finished the examination, he called Candice and the nurse out. “Your grandfather

dangerous. There cannot be another occurrence.”
“I was given clearance yesterday for the patient to eat regular food,” the nurse explained quickly, clearly
worried about being blamed. “I fed him carefully. There were no problems last night.”
“Why did this happen then?” Candice’s tone was not too good. The panic she felt when she heard
about her grandfather’s condition still had not subsided.
She did not hire someone to take care of her grandfather just to worsen his condition.
The nurse sensed the seriousness in Candice’s tone and beceven more anxious. If a hospital
nurse mishandled a patient, not only would compensation be required, but there could be legal
ramifications.
Given the old man’s condition not many nurses were willing to take on the responsibility. All it took was
for something to go wrong and the family to be unreasonable, and there could be
serious consequences. However, Candice had offered a significant amount of money, so the nurse
had taken the job.
“He woke up suddenly around five in the morning.” the nurse explained. “I listened for a while and
heard him saying he was hungry. I originally thought of preparing a nutritional drink, but he refused and
wanted sporridge. Then a nurse from the next room cover to borrow something from me.
When I cback with the porridge, he started having seizures.”
Candice could sense what had happened. She looked at the nurse with a calm gaze. “What did
you talk about?”
“She askedwhy I hadn’t seen the old man’s children coming, and I said they must be busy.”
Everything fell into place in Candice’s mind. The nurse’s unintentional remark had triggered her
grandfather’s thoughts about Yvonne, bringing out strong emotions.
Before Candice left, Dr. Brooks frowned and spoke to her. “Dr. Zachman’s academic conference was
suddenly rescheduled due to a wildfire there. It’s been postponed for a week.”
Candice looked up at him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“If you know any other doctors, you might want to try contacting them. Better to be safe than sorry.
With this advice, Dr. Brooks left.
Candice felt low–spirited. Besides Chad, who else in Dorrington would be a good neurology
specialist?
But to get to Chad, she would have to deal with Alex.
Pursing her lips, Candice blocked out her thoughts and lowered her head, unwilling to let others
see.
Before leaving, she called the nurse out again and gave him careful instructions.
It was not that she did not want to dismiss the nurse, but her grandfather had already grown
accustomed to the care, and he was sensitive. If he saw someone new, he might be reminded of
Yvonne again.
After settling everything in the hospital, Candice left.
She called Kayla and said she would cby to pick up her things from the company.
However, when she arrived at Aether, it was not yet the end of the workday. Candice waited in the
parking lot for Kayla to cdown.
After waiting for a while, she received a call from Kayla. “Candice, there’s a last minute important
meeting, and I can’t cdown. The items are on your desk. Can you pick them up yourself?*
