Sean scratched his head in confusion. “But Ms. Alyssa, won’t we be creating an opportunity for Jamiper by doing that?”
“He and I have the same starting point. He may see an opportunity, but so will I.” The look in Alyssa’s eyes turned from cold to fiery. She smiled warmly, “Moreover, I trust Jeremy. No matter how tiny a chance, he will grab onto it firmly.”
Just then, Jeremy called.
“How are you, Jeremy? Have you arrived in Leichtown?” she asked in a soft and chirpy voice.
“I’ve arrived, Lyse. I’m on my way to the meeting now,” Jeremy spoke hastily. “Mr. Gorham called me earlier. He said that Grandpa hasn’t been feeling well since he returned from Bernardia. He didn’t have anything to eat all day today.
“Would it be convenient for you to take Grandpa to the hospital for a checkup?”
“Why are you speaking to me like this, Jeremy?”
Alyssa widened her eyes. In a coquettish voice, she continued, “Your grandfather is also my Grandpa Newton. It’s only reasonable for me to look after him. Why are you being so courteous about it?”
“I know you’ve been tired for days,
Lyse. You still have to oversee things at KS Group. I’m just afraid that it’d be too much for you.”
per chuckled helplessly. Honet would never throw a temper before Alyssa. He’d simply listen as she told him off.
“I’m not tired. have inexhaustible energy for my loved ones.” Alyssa sighed softly. In a gentle and flowy voice, she said, “Alright, I’ll pick.
Grandpa Newton up to go to that ne hospital, stat. Focus on your work and leave your family to me.”
Sean got the car ready to drive Alyssa to Solana City as quickly as possible.
They picked Newton and Ben up from Crescent Bay and headed for the hospital.
At the hospital’s VIP clinic, Newton leaned against the headboard while hooked up to an IV drip. His face was pale. Alyssa sat by the side of the bed and helped to give him some water to drink.
“Alyssa… I’m really sorry for the trouble. I know you rushed back from Belbanks just to take me to the hospital,” Newton said, his eyes moist with emotion.
“It’s no trouble at all, Grandpa Newton. I was planning to come and visit you anyway.”
Alyssa’s eyes glistened as she comforted him. “I’ve spoken with the doctor. You haven’t been resting well and you’re still jet lagged. You also haven’t been eating well, so you’re having a bit of an upset stomach. It’s not a big issue. Don’t worry.”
“Age is catching up with me. I’m getting weak.” Newton pouted despondently like a child. “All I did was go and attend my precious granddaughter’s wedding, and my body is breaking down. How embarrassing is this?”
“Not at all, Grandpa Newton. You’re still a tough man. I’m sure that you’ll live a long life.” Alyssa held Newton’s hand and gave him a gentle squeeze. Her eyes welled up with tears as she felt sorry for him. She understood that as people aged, their bodies couldn’t handle as much. If it weren’t for Lauren’s wedding, she couldn’t have borne to see Newton travel so much.
“Alyssa, this past year, I’ve felt like my physical body isn’t as strong as before. Sometimes, when I fall asleep at night, I can’t even be sure if I’ll be able to wake up the next morning.” Newton’s sincere anticipation filled his eyes. His voice sounded nasally. “I don’t have any particular wishes before I die… I just hope that I can attend your wedding ceremony with Jeremy.” “Grandpa Newton…” Tears filled Alyssa’s eyes.
“Back then, I decided you should be with Jeremy. We didn’t even have a proper wedding ceremony. It was so unfair to you. Now that your relationship is stable, I hope that I can do my best to make it up to you. I don’t want you to have any regrets.”
“We will have a wedding, Grandpa Newton.” Alyssa smiled and consoled him. “It’s just that our family is still going through quite a messy situation. I have just become KS Group’s president a short while ago, and my father is still ill. We’ll prepare for our wedding once this busy period is over.”
“Is it because that dumb brat Jeremy hasn’t proposed to you even until now?” Newton hammered his fists on the bed angrily. “He’s such a dunderhead! What does he think about every day? Why isn’t he getting down to business? I will give him a good smack when he comes back!”
“Grandpa Newton, Jeremy… He has already proposed to me.” Alyssa was afraid that Newton would be enraged, so she told a white lie.
“Really? When?” Newton’s eyes lit up.
“When we were in Bernardia.”
“I didn’t hear anything about it…”
Alyssa giggled. “Why do we have to make it high profile? We can’t steal Landon and Lauren’s limelight.”
“Well, it seemed to me that Jonah’s proposal was quite the spectacle. He was more innovative than Lauren’s wedding,” Newton complained. Alyssa almost lost it.
After Newton fell asleep, Alyssa left his ward quietly and had Ben take over watching him.
She was hungry. Just as she was about to go to the cafeteria downstairs, Sean ran toward her with a serious expression on his face.
“Who? It can’t be Jamiper, can it? It can’t be that coincidental,” Alyssa replied before gulping down mouthfuls of water.
“Ms. Alyssa, guess who I just saw?”
Sean’s expression darkened. “You’re actually right.”
A mouthful of water sprayed out of Alyssa’s mouth. She coughed until her face turned red.
Sean really wanted to pat her back, but he couldn’t. He had to be a virtuous man. So, he could only hand her a tissue.
“I didn’t see Jameson himself, though. I only happened to see his secretary walking toward the VIP ward.”
“Carl Moses?” Alyssa wiped her mouth. She had a deep look in her eyes.
“Yes, that son of a bitch.”
Through clenched teeth, Sean added, “He’s like Jameson’s shadow. If he’s here, it means that Jameson is surely around too.

“I just went to take a peek. I’m not sure if Jamiper has AIDS, syphilis, or something that he wants to keep it a secret from others. The south wing is completely guarded by the Schmidts’ bodyguards. Not a single sout is allowed to enter.”

Upon hearing that, Alyssa thrust the water bottle into Sean’s arms. Amicy glint shone in her eyes. “Is that so? As adong-time ‘friend,’ I should pay the patient a visit, then.”
Accompanied by Sean, Alyssa reached the hospital’s south wing. Heavily guarded, it resembled an impregnable fortress.
Alyssa shot Sean a glance, and he took her hint. The moment he went forward, two of the Schmidts’ bodyguards blocked him off coldly. “You’re not allowed to enter here!”
“I am the secretary of KS Group’s president, Ms. Alyssa Taylor. She heard that Mr. Schmidt fell sick and was hospitalized. So, she came here specially to pay him a visit and see how he’s doing,” Sean explained in a cold voice. Heaven knew how revolted he felt when he uttered this nonsense.
He really wished that Jameson would just die in the hospital today!
The two bodyguards exchanged glances.
Of course they knew who Alyssa was. However, Jameson’s orders were decrees that they had to obey. Those who didn’t would lose their lives. Thus, they rejected politely. “We’re sorry, Ms. Alyssa. We’re just following orders…”
Despite feeling doubtful, Alyssa smiled in response. “If this is the case, I shall not interrupt Mr. Schmidt’s rest.”
“Ms. Alyssa!” Carl jogged over toward her. The moment he saw her, he put up a courteous and warm smile on his face. “Are you here to see Mr. Schmidt? This way, please!”
“Let’s just forget about it.” Alyssa smiled. She had a cold look in her eyes. “It looks like Mr. Schmidt wishes to rest quietly. I don’t think he wants to see anyone. I shall not intrude. Goodbye.”
“No, no! You are Ms. Alyssa, the Ms. Alyssa whom Mr. Schmidt cares most about. How could you compare with others?”
Carl panicked. He tried his best to hold Alyssa back. “I’m sure Mr. Schmidt will be elated to know that you came to see him. He’d be able to recover sooner too!”
Noticing Alyssa’s hesitation, Carl became anxious. He gave the two bodyguards one tight slap each. He glared at them and chided, “Useless shits! Don’t you know about the relationship between Mr. Schmidt and Ms. Alyssa? How dare you stop her? Are you both that thick?”
Sean felt disgusted to hear that.
At the same time, a white-colored medicine box fell out of Carl’s suit pocket.
Alyssa reacted quickly. She was the first to pick it up from the floor. In an instant, her eyes turned dark-diazepam pills.
Suddenly, there was a slight change in the look on Carl’s face. Yet, he didn’t dare to take back the medicine box from her.
“Carl, what’s Mr. Schmidt’s down with? What’s with all this manpower?” Alyssa asked coldly as she handed the medicine box back to him.
“Uh, it’s just acute appendicitis.”
Hurriedly, Carkkept the medicine box. He let out a fake sigh. “Ever since getting promoted, Mr. Schmidt has been occupied by so many things every day. He had so much work to do that he ended up falling ill makes me feel terrible to see him like that.”
Alyssa’s eyes turned frigid. “Acute appendicitis… But he’s taking diazepam for it?”
“Oh, this isn’t Mr. Schmidt’s medication. I bought it for my mom.” Carl smiled as he stood aside. “This way, Ms. Alyssa.”
Alyssa lifted the corners of her lips slightly and strode ahead.
Sean was about to follow her in velinet when Cart stood in his way. “Mr. Schmidt doesn’t want to see anyone else other than Ms. Alyssa. Please stay here.”
