Upon hearing this, Sumr Monroe finally understood what was going on.
Ronan Kingston pleaded, "Boss, only you can persuade him, please have a word with my brother."
Sumr Monroe nodded and said, "I’ll try my best."
As she spoke, she lifted her feet and walked towards the ward.
Just as she walked up to the ward door, she heard Grandpa Kingston cursing, "What’s the big deal about marriage? If they got married, they can just get divorced! Nowadays, the divorce rate in Crestfall is much higher than the marriage rate! Do you think people lining up outside the civil affairs bureau are getting married? Let tell you, they’re all damn getting divorced. It’s not a wise choice to indulge in self-destruction. If I were you, I’d focus on getting healthy again and then win Sumr over!"
Sumr Monroe’s mouth twitched a couple of tis.
She had never encountered an elder who spoke like this before...
Ronan Kingston couldn’t stand it anymore and reminded, "Grandpa, brother, Boss... Sumr is here."
The body of Julian Kingston, lying on the hospital bed, stiffened, and he closed his eyes, forcing himself not to look at Sumr Monroe.
Grandpa Kingston stood up, unembarrassed by having been overheard, and greeted with a smile, "Miss Monroe is here? Co, sit down, sit down! Julian has been waiting for you for a long ti!"
Sumr Monroe coughed dryly and walked to the bedside of Julian Kingston, who was pretending to sleep, and succinctly said, "Get up, take your dicine."
Julian Kingston remained motionless, pretending to be in a deep sleep.
"Stop pretending." Sumr Monroe directly exposed him: "I’ve been here for a while and saw you shoo the nurse away."
Julian Kingston knew he couldn’t keep pretending, so he opened his eyes and asked indifferently, "Why are you here?"
Sumr Monroe shook the thermos cup in her hand and said, "To bring you dicine."
"I don’t want it." Julian Kingston closed his eyes again, coldly saying, "Leave."
Grandpa Kingston imdiately got anxious.
"Hey! You brat..."
"Grandpa Kingston." Sumr Monroe interrupted, "Don’t scold him; it’s normal for him not to want to see . I’ll just leave the dicine here and take my leave."
Grandpa Kingston asked in surprise, "Are you leaving just like that?"
Sumr Monroe replied with "Mm," and said, "He doesn’t want to see , I shouldn’t appear in front of him."
On the bed, Julian Kingston’s eyelids twitched twice, then suddenly his eyes opened wide as he said, "Grandpa, Ronan, please go out; I have sothing to say to her."
Grandpa Kingston still wanted to say sothing, but Ronan Kingston directly pulled him out and considerately closed the door.
For a mont, only Sumr Monroe and Julian Kingston were left in the ward.
Julian Kingston didn’t speak, and Sumr Monroe wasn’t in a hurry, just waiting for him to start.
Finally, Julian Kingston spoke—
"Ronan said you got married?"
"Yes." Sumr Monroe nodded.
Julian Kingston pressed his lips together, his face turned paler.
"When did it happen? Before or after I went undercover?"
"Before."
Julian Kingston’s brows furrowed instantly: "Why didn’t you tell ? Did everyone decide to treat like a fool?"
Sumr Monroe’s expression changed slightly; she understood Julian Kingston’s emotions.
If she had known Julian Kingston would risk his life going undercover for her, she would have stopped him.
But the deed was done, so Sumr Monroe had to explain ekly, "Neither Damian Knight nor I intended to deceive you; we did keep our marriage a secret, but it wasn’t just from you—no one knew... Julian Kingston, I’m sorry, I should have told you earlier. But I only ever saw you as a friend. You know, feelings can’t be forced."
"Forced?" Julian Kingston laughed bitterly, "Did my affection make you feel burdened?"
