Afterwards, while Carla snuggled and fell asleep in Zayn's arms, he stroked her hair
gently and stared at her tenderly. It seemed like she wasn't getting enough sleep as she had
been feeling rather sleepy for the past few days.
When he first arrived, Naya told him that she was very calm that day and there wasn't
anything abnormal about her. Besides sleeping and being in a daze, she had hardly eaten
anything.
She must be exhausted and terrified.
At the thought of that, he decided to give her more assurance and care in order to bring her
out of the darkness once and for all.
"Gigolo, I don't want to stay in the hospital. I want to go home." Carla suddenly
whispered hazily.
"Alright." That was exactly what Zayn intended for her as well. Even a normal person
would go crazy after spending so much time in a hospital.
"The children are waiting for you at home and you'll feel better after returning too." Zayn
kissed Carla's forehead and continued, "You can sleep a little longer. I'll go and talk to
someone to make the necessary arrangements."
"Alright." Carla closed her eyes and nodded her head in response.
Zayn got up and dressed, then he went out and told Benard to settle the arrangements for
her discharge.
At the same time, Benard was on the phone while he uttered hurriedly, "Just in time, the three
children called to say that they wish to visit their Mommy. Should we let them wait for her at
home instead?"
"Yes, we will arrive home in an hour, " Zayn nodded.
"Alright." Benard relayed the message instantly.
On the other end of the call, the three children cheered excitedly after receiving the news.
Benard's eardrums vibrated from the loud noise.
Benard put down his cell phone and looked at Zayn with a puzzled expression. "It's going to
be noisy when we reach there later."
"That's good. It'll be lively!" Zayn smiled.
"That's true, I'll go and make the arrangements immediately." Benard uttered smilingly and left.
Zayn turned his head and looked at Carla, who was in bed. Then he spoke to Naya,
"Do look after her, I'll go and see Grandpa."
Naya nodded and responded, "Alright, don't worry."
Upon arriving at Jombo's ward, Zayn noticed that Layon was there as well.
Accompanied by Thompson, he was visiting Jombo and they were just walking out from the
ward.
Just when Layon was about to utter something, he caught a glimpse of Zayn and
greeted instantaneously, "Zayn, you're here!"
"Mr. Benday, thank you for visiting Grandpa again!" Zayn responded politely.
"I'm returning to F Nation tomorrow, that's why I decided to come and visit Mr. Giblo." Layon
stared at Zayn and continued to ask, "Are you free now? Can we have a chat?"
"I have to rush home after seeing Grandpa." Zayn took a glance at his watch.
"Then don't let me hold you back. I'll make a move first, goodbye!" Layon uttered helplessly
with a tight smile.
"Goodbye." Zayn made way for him as he watched him leave.
Thompson returned after escorting Layon out, then he furrowed his brows and said, "Mr.
Zayn, Mr. Benday meant no harm, why did you have to turn him away?"
Zayn responded in a serious manner, "There's no use beating around the bush when it
comes to certain topics. When Grandpa gets better, I'll give the Bendays a thorough
explanation then."
Thompson's brows were tightly knitted. "Maybe Mr. Benday wasn't thinking of talking about
that matter? Seeing that he was hesitant earlier, I can't help but feel like he had something
important to say."
"Even if there is, it has nothing to do with me, right?"
Zayn replied flatly as he walked into the isolation room to change his clothes.
Thompson sighed and remained silent.
Jombo was in a rather good condition today. The moment Zayn entered, his eyes opened
slightly as he looked at him weakly. Then, with immense effort, he reached out his hand to
him.
"Grandpa…" Zayn walked over instantly and held his hand.
"Do not… Do not… cancel… the engagement, " Jombo uttered strenuously.
His voice sounded very weak as he had difficulty breathing. Even after he said a few words,
he would start gasping for air. However, his grip was strong as he grabbed onto Zayn's
hand, it was as if he was trying to remind Zayn of the importance of the matter.
Zayn furrowed his brows as he was torn. He didn't want Jombo to get agitated, but at the
same time, he didn't want to obey him either. So, he simply said, "Focus on your recovery
now. We will talk about it when you get better."
