Chapter 200

“Your grandfather experienced seizures this morning, and It’s best for the family to come to the

hospital.”

At Dr. Brooks’s words, Candice immediately became alert.

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

experienced seizures due to emotional stimulation and airway obstruction. The situation is very

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 Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

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 became even 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 some porridge. Then a nurse from the next room came over to borrow something from me.

When I came back 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 asked me why 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.

“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 come by 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 come down.

After waiting for a while, she received a call from Kayla. “Candice, there’s a last minute important

meeting, and I can’t come down. The items are on your desk. Can you pick them up yourself?*
