Unable to resist Stanley’s insistence, Dolly had to let him take her back to the hospital.
“Hey, what’s the situation? Why did that man come with Mrs. Kirkland?”
“I don’t know, I just saw Mr. Kirkland go in. …”
Several nurses were gossiping next to each other, but the way they looked at Stanley was very admiring and envious.
“Well, Sister, then I’ll go first, call me if you need anything.” Stanley smiled and turned to leave.
It was best not to ever call, what she had done between her and Stanley in the past few days was enough to make herself feel guilty inside, and ultimately not very good in nature. Dolly gathered her emotions and immediately walked into the ward.
“Back.” Mrs. Knight greeted.
“How are you today, ma’am? Better? We’re having surgery tomorrow.” Dolly whispered. As she approached Mrs. Knight, she realized that Brayden was also in the room.
“Brayden, what are you doing here?” Dolly asked incredulously.
She thought Kirkland Group had a lot of things to do and he didn’t have time to visit Mrs. Knight. She remembered very clearly the last time she lost her trust. Of course, she had also done something lacking in consideration in the past few days.
“Where did you go just now?” Brayden looked at her seriously, keeping his emotions suppressed.
“Uh, just having dinner with a friend.” She answered slowly.
What, now the schoolboy has become a friend? So, is it possible that after some time, friends will become boyfriends again? Brayden slowly approached Dolly with some gloom on his face.
That’s right, Dolly didn’t dare to look up at him and kept her head down picking at her fingers.
“With which friend? Do I know them? How long did you have dinner? Where did you eat?”
He asked these questions in a row, making Dolly suddenly feel very uncomfortable.
What was he trying to do? Interrogating her? Why should she tell him? When he went abroad to deal with the project, he did not tell himself?
“Dinner is dinner, where so many questions, madam I go to buy you some fruit, the fruit is out.” Saying that, Dolly then picked up her purse and walked straight out of the ward.
Perhaps it is really some heart weakness, but she does not know why she should be weak, obviously between themselves and Stanley really nothing, but now make it look like their fault.
She pounded her head hard, trying to make herself more conscious.
Dolly what the hell were you thinking? Why didn’t you just tell him the truth? What’s wrong with being angry? It’s better than him finding out!
Whatever, I’ll explain to him when I get back.
In the supermarket, there were a lot of people just at the end of the day, so many people came in to buy vegetables and fruits.
Looking around, Dolly bought all the food that Mrs. Knight and Brayden and Franklin liked to eat, but she didn’t buy much of her own preferences, probably because her appetite was not good lately.
“Franklin’s favorite cookies …” Dolly muttered, looking for the child’s favorite.
There it was!
She rushed over to it, but it was too tall. She had been wearing athleisure shoes lately and couldn’t reach the cookies on the shelf. Dolly put everything in her hand on the floor and jumped upward again and again, but she couldn’t reach them.
“Is this it?” Suddenly, a large right hand appeared above her.
“Yes, that’s the one, that’s the cookie I want.” Dolly looked up at the cookie and shouted excitedly.
She didn’t turn around to see who it really was, nor did she distinguish the man’s voice.
“How many do you want?” The low tone had a hint of manly hormones in it.
“Two, I think, my son likes them.” She replied softly.
“Here, do you need anything else? I’ll get them for you.”
“No, thanks …” Dolly immediately turned back.
“How is it you? Haven’t you already gone home?” She looked at Stanley in front of her in surprise.
“Yeah, wanted to do some shopping before I went home.” Stanley smiled. How come everywhere you go, you can meet him? What a fiend!
“Anything else either?” Stanley continued to ask.
“No, thank you, that I have to go first.” Dolly said goodbye to him and hurriedly left.
What a toxic man to be around at all times. No, it is better to stay away from him, too much contact in recent times.
In the ward, Brayden sat on the sofa flipping through a magazine, but the mood was depressed.
“You say you are a big man, depressed what energy, there is something to say directly, you do not say, who knows what happened, besides, such things as feelings, it is necessary to communicate and exchange in a timely manner, right?” Mrs. Knight in the hospital bed said intentionally or unintentionally.
She was right, he and Dolly should really talk about it.
But how to talk? What to talk about? This is another tricky question. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
“Oh come on, don’t look so dejected, I’ll talk to Dolly myself when she comes back. Don’t worry, nothing will happen to her and that Stanley, just recently, there seems to be more things.” Mrs. Knight said indifferently.
What could be going on that would make the two of them spend almost every day together? And when Franklin was with himself, he would also mention Stanley’s name from time to time. It seems that this Stanley, indeed, has done a very adequate job.
“Madam, I’m back.” Dolly pushed open the door of the room directly and walked into the kitchen.
“Why did you buy so much? Can you carry it all by yourself?” Mrs. Knight asked worriedly.
“Yes, a big handsome guy just brought it over.” The nurse at the back answered.
Instantly, there was a murderous aura in Brayden’s eyes, Stanley must have helped bring it here!
Mrs. Knight got a little alert and hurriedly changed the subject.
“Dolly, it’s been a hard day for you, what’s cooking later?” Mrs. Knight shouted.
“Let’s see, make a few home-cooked dishes, and then make a fish …”
But at this time Brayden is not in the mood at all, much less will have any appetite.
“Hey, Brayden, Franklin will be out of school in a while you keep him company, recently he seems to be a bit stressed about school, said to participate in some competition.” Mrs. Knight said deliberately.
“Okay.” Brayden immediately stood up and walked to the window, looking out at the willow trees, with a somewhat despondent air.
Dolly was busy in the kitchen and didn’t notice Brayden’s mood.
