Since he hadn’t lived with Alia Linton from childhood, Easton Hols didn’t know what she liked to eat. In a supermarket near the hospital, he bought a fruit basket filled with various fruits.
Unexpectedly, just a fruit basket brought his mother to tears.
Alia Linton focused solely on crying over that fruit basket, montarily forgetting to let Easton Hols in from outside.
Seeing this situation, he didn’t wait for his mom’s reaction, took the initiative to walk into the hospital room with the fruit basket, and closed the door after entering.
Easton Hols didn’t know what to say. He glanced at Alia Linton standing there tearfully, then walked to the bedside with the fruit basket, placed it on the cabinet next to the bed, and then slowly turned to look at her.
"Is your wrist injury getting better?" He stared at her for a mont, finally breaking the silence.
Upon hearing Easton Hols ask her, Alia Linton quickly wiped the tears from her face with her hand and stepped inside, pointing to the sofa for him to sit, "Much better. Have a seat."
She seed a bit formal, but didn’t feel awkward.
Easton Hols didn’t verbally respond but followed Alia Linton’s suggestion and went to sit on the sofa.
"Did your uncle leave?"
Seeing Easton Hols not responding, Alia Linton seed to make small talk and sat not far from him.
"Yeah!"
Easton Hols nodded in response, and after saying that, he fell silent again, though not for long this ti, "What about him?"
From the mont he entered, he hadn’t seen that figure, and not seeing that figure stirred a complex emotion within him.
"Who?"
Alia Linton didn’t imdiately grasp who Easton Hols was referring to, but upon questioning, she swiftly realized, "Your dad went to the company."
She didn’t actually know if that man went to the company. He had argued with her here in the morning and then left. She didn’t ask, and he didn’t say.
"Are you okay being here alone?"
Easton Hols didn’t delve into whether Alia Linton’s words were true because Fabian Hols’s whereabouts weren’t his focus; he was just thinking whether she could really manage being alone in the hospital with her wrist injury.
Alia Linton felt Easton Hols’s attitude towards her today was very unusual, so unusual that she began to doubt her eyes and ears. She stared at him for a long ti without speaking.
Her son was still the sa son, but why was he being so gentle to her? She felt happy but truly sensed sothing was amiss.
Easton Hols felt sowhat uneasy being scrutinized by Alia Linton and broke her observation with a voice, "You don’t have to look at like that. My mind is perfectly fine; there’s nothing wrong with my nerves. Uncle Michael said when he left that I should strive to get along with you guys, so that Grandpa can truly be happy."
He knew what she was puzzled about, and knew what was going through her mind. He candidly revealed the reason for his change in attitude towards her.
Easton Hols never liked beating around the bush and always acted straightforwardly. He directly stated that he was doing it all thanks to Uncle Michael’s influence, and their ultimate goal was to make his grandfather’s later years happy and blissful.
He was able to co here so readily, truly for this purpose, and for the sincere affection for his grandfather, he was willing to do anything.
