Chapter 1590: Waiting
Ayan's words startled Kian, and then he followed, saying, "Mr. Simpson, if that's the case, Elijah's scheming is even more than Preston's!"
"As long as we always hold the shotgun in our hands, we don't need to worry about any calculations he may have." Elijah wanted to benefit from both Kian and Preston, but nothing in this world is perfect. Kian asked, "Should we let Preston suspect Elijah by leaking some information to him?"
"Hasn't he said it himself? Preston has never fully trusted him. Knowing Preston's character, it's not a lie." Whether in the past or now, Preston has never been one to trust others completely. Ayan was well aware of this, otherwise, he wouldn't be on his own right now.
Kian thought the timing was good. If Preston didn't trust Elijah, it would be easy for them to meddle.
He said, "Mr. Simpson, if that's the case, we won't need to put in much effort!"
Ayan's voice was indifferent as he said, "Indeed, we won't need to waste much effort, but the timing is not right yet."
"I'm afraid that when Elijah sees Preston cooperating with Daisy, he'll think there's a great hope and fully side with Preston. Although it may not have much impact on us, it's still a bit disgusting because this old fox sometimes has a much better mind than Preston."
When Kian referred to Elijah as an old fox, Ayan couldn't help but smile.
He said, "Even an old fox takes a nap. Preston had previously made Sean take the blame. As a father, even if he doesn't spoil his son, he still sees him as his own child. He's not like Mr. Tillery, who only cares about power and interests. So, he won't truly give up on his son for Preston's sake. As long as we have Sean in our hands, he will have to cooperate with us."
It's just a matter of how much cooperation.
Ayan hadn't discussed any matters related to benefits with Elijah yet. He hadn't brought it up, and Elijah hadn't asked for it either.
But it was only a matter of time. Elijah would eventually speak up, so Ayan wasn't in a hurry.
They arrived at the hospital.
Ayan told Kian to wait in the car.
There were more people watching him now. If he appeared at the hospital with Kian, it would attract a lot of attention. So, it was better for him to go alone and keep a low profile.
Kian didn't know that Ayan came to see the old Simpson today, so he was curious, but it was just a curiosity in his mind.
Kian sat in the car, waiting for Ayan, and also contacted the driver who had just taken Elijah and Sean, to find out if they had said anything in the car.
Ayan took the elevator to the floor where the old Simpson's ward was located. The nurse who specifically took care of the old Simpson was waiting at the elevator door.
There were always bodyguards around here. The chance of having patients on the same floor was zero. Due to recent events and the large number of people monitoring Ayan and Simpson Group, Ayan decided to secure the entire floor without affecting other patients.
All of this was thanks to Derek, after all, the hospital belonged to his family.
He had the final say.
While talking to the nurse about the old Simpson's condition in the past few days, Ayan walked towards the old Simpson's ward.
From the nurse's account, Ayan learned that there hadn't been any changes in the old Simpson's physical condition in the past few days. The only change was that the old Simpson had severe insomnia. Recently, he often couldn't sleep and would walk back and forth to tire himself out before being able to fall asleep.
Because the old Simpson couldn't sleep well, naturally his spirits weren't as good as before.
Ayan planned to finish watching the old Simpson and then ask Dr. Ellis what was going on.
Arriving at the old Simpson's ward, the butler said that the old Simpson was still resting and hadn't woken up yet.
Ayan asked, "Has Grandfather been like this recently?"
"Well, more or less. He doesn't even
play chess anymore, and his appetite has greatly decreased. Especially the insomnia, he can't sleep at night and rests more during the day, don't know if it's because he sleeps more during the day but he seems a bit swollen. Since there are no other issues, we haven't asked Dr. Ellis to come and check. One reason is that the old Simpson doesn't want to bother, and the other is that the old Simpson's physical condition still seems robust. The
nurses haven't noticed anything
from the monitoring devices either."
However, the butler was still very worried, so he took the initiative to secretly contact Ayan.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Fletcher has been busy lately, so when he comes to the hospital, he only talks to the old Simpson for a while and then leaves.
Ayan nodded lightly, his expression rather solemn. He said, "You keep an eye on Grandfather. If he wakes up, have the nurse come to Dr. Ellis's office and call me. I'll go find Dr. Ellis." The butler nodded, and Ayan went to find Dr. Ellis.
At this time, Dr. Ellis was in the hospital, conveniently without any surgeries, so he was in his office.
Seeing Ayan, he was somewhat surprised. "Ayan, why didn't you let me know beforehand? If I'm busy, you'll end up wasting your trip."
Ayan smiled lightly. "Just came to try my luck."
Dr. Ellis motioned for Ayan to sit down and poured him some tea.
He said, "You didn't come all this way just to try your luck, did you?"
"I came to see Grandfather. He's still asleep, so I came here to sit for a while."
"The old Simpson's been in good health recently. You don't need to keep coming to the hospital. It'll only make him worry and think too much. I haven't visited him these past few days because of a few important surgeries."
Dr. Ellis was so busy every day that he wished he had the power to be in two places at once. Although he was the hospital director, many surgeries required his personal presence, so he simply didn't have enough time.
Naturally, Ayan understood this very well, so he didn't waste any time with Dr. Ellis. He told him about what he had just learned and asked, "Isn't it a bit abnormal for Grandfather to be like this?"
Dr. Ellis's expression became slightly
grave after listening. He furrowed his brow and said, "It's my fault for being busy lately and not thinking too much about it. I also forgot to inform the attending physician and nurses about the old Simpson's insomnia and excessive sleepiness. If it were a normal person, it would be considered normal after experiencing insomnia followed by excessive sleepiness. But the old Simpson's physical condition isn't
good with this progression."
Dr. Ellis began removing his white coat. He said, "Let's go together and see the old Simpson."
Dr. Ellis always took off his white coat when visiting the old Simpson because he didn't want him to see it, and the old Simpson cooperated as well.
Dr. Ellis and Ayan went to the old
Simpson's ward together. The old Simpson was still resting, and Dr. Ellis didn't wake him up. He just stood by the bed, took a look at the old Simpson, and then examined the detailed schedule notes made by the nurse. After that, he walked with Ayan to the balcony.
He said, "Ayan, the old Simpson's condition isn't very good, but this is how the disease progresses. Conservative treatment can only prolong the time and alleviate physical pain. Apart from that, what needs to happen will occur according to the passage of time."
"So, we need to prepare ourselves mentally?" Ayan asked with a heavy expression.
