Kapitel 221: Compromise

Mr. Yamada was right, but he wasn't aware of Mr. Smith's peculiar temperament. If Smith didn't come to check on him, Ethan Montgomery could be left under the care of young nurses for days. The moment he requested a check-up, no one would be able to see Ethan for at least two days.

Avery Miller felt a surge of despair, her eyes rimmed red. Ethan was awake; why did she have to wait another two days?

Ethan Montgomery, half-asleep on the hospital bed, heard their entire conversation but couldn't open his eyes or speak a word.

He knew he was physically fine and longed to see her.

His Avery, had she been by his side all these days?

Unnoticed, a tear slid down Ethan Montgomery's cheek. He was happy.

Mr. Smith glared at Avery Miller fiercely. If she didn't relent soon, he would spend all his remaining time fiercely opposing her for his patient's sake.
