Chapter 84 A Small Gift That Carries Deep Meaning
“How’s my grandpa?*
Victor couldn’t wait any longer and asked Impatiently as soon as he left his grandpa’s house.
Victor was closer to George than he was to Albert Lance. He had spent his life with his grandpa George until the age of eight and never missed a monthly visit to him even after reuniting with the Lance family,
“His condition is a bit complicated. His health isn’t in the best shape. I suggest taking him to the hospital for a thorough checkup first, we need to stabilize his condition before considering surgery, otherwise, I’m afraid he won’t make it through. I’m sure you understand the risks of the surgery, which is why we’ve waited until now.”
he had carefully examined George and noticed some involuntary movements beyond his control. These symptoms would only worsen with age. His vision would gradually deteriorate and eventually lead him to complete blindness.
However, she didn’t disclose how dire the situation was. She knew it would only make the patient or his family more anxious and distressful.
Victor’s expression was grime. “He’s quire resistant to go to the hospital for a checkup.”
“Mr. Lance, you’ll have to convince him as soon as possible. It could make the situation much worse if we wait any longer.”
Victor was smart enough to understand the gravity of the situation.
“What would you like to eat?” he asked.
“Anything’s fine.
She was hungry anyway and had initially planned to have Zayn cook for her whenshe retumed. However, he was occupied with business meetings that would likely extend into dinner. She thought there was no need to be picky since someone offered to treat her.
No one would resist good food.
Victor took her to dine at a revolving restaurant in Homsey. He was a VIP there. He had already reserved a table and ordered dinner on the way there. The waiter brought over the meals and a bottle of red wine as soon as they were seated.
They sat by the window with a breathtaking view of Hornsey’s most dazzling nightscape below.
The city lights spackled brilliantly, which created an incredibly beautiful scene.
Victor poured Sabrina a glass of wine and one for himself. He leaned backslightly and swirled his glass casually.
“This seems to be the first time we’ve had a meal together, just the two of us,” he said nonchalantly.
He observed Sabrina from across the table. She wore a chitton blouse in a soft apricot shade, black wide–legged trousers, and matching heels. The black–and- white ensemble was simple, yet it carried an understated elegance that made her transcend the ordinary.
Sabrina took a insall sip of her wine and said calindy, “There’s no need to be curious about me, Mr. Lanor, I have a boyfriend.”
She had to bring up Troy as a cover–up at critical moments like this
“Don’t get me wrong. I wouldn’t go after my friend’s girl, Victor said.
Besides, Sabrina wasn’t his type. He preferred the Innocent college girl type.
Sabrina raised her eyebrows as she set down her glass and began enjoying her meal.
Her graceful demeanor and movements were a pleasure to behold.
“Theard Jordan is planning to get engaged with that woman. Did you know that?”
Didn’t she like Jordan! He wanted to see if she truly didn’t care about him.
“good for him. I’ll prepare a gift emelope with 20 dollars inside forhim.”
That bastard was only worth 20 dollars in her heaIL
“It’s the thought that counts. There’ll be an even bigger surprise!”
Her mysterious smile sent an inexplicable shiver down his spine.
He couldn’t shake the feeling that she was likely plotting something against Jordan
“You truly don’t care about him at all?
“We’re already divorced. I’m not going to show up and cause a scene.”
She wasn’t the type to engage in such petty behavior.
Victor drove her home after dinner
He received a call from jordanjost as he tumed the car around.
“Are your with Sabrina24
