After Camille finished speaking, Ayan let out a sigh and didn’t directly answer. He smiled lightly and said, “It shouldn’t be the case. Grandfather is a kind person. How could he possibly offend someone?”
“Well, that’s true. But sometimes, unintentionally offending someone is also possible. You should still investigate thoroughly and make sure that no one is bullying your grandfather,” Camille said with a sigh.
Camille was extremely worried when she found out about Callum’s situation. It had scared her at the time.
Although those comments couldn’t be found online anymore, screenshots of them were circulating everywhere.
Camille was stunned when she first saw them, and even Sienna was surprised. Sienna asked, “Camille, did Ayan offend someone? Is it possible that they couldn’t deal with him and tried to provoke his family instead?”
Camille pursed her lips and remained silent, her expression growing more serious.
Sienna suggested, “Should I accompany you to investigate?”
Camille smiled faintly and said, “I’ll ask Ayan.”
She called Ayan, and although he said there was nothing to worry about and asked her not to be concerned, Camille still felt a heavy burden in her heart.
Callum was such a good person. Spreading rumors like this was defamation and could be prosecuted.
Camille sternly said to Ayan, “You must catch this person and teach him a lesson. Otherwise, people will think we are easy targets.”
Camille’s face was filled with anger as she spoke.
Ayan agreed, saying, “Alright, I’ll have Kian gather evidence, and then we can file a lawsuit.”
“Shall we visit your grandfather tonight?”
“There’s no need to go tonight. I’ve already been there. Just finished visiting and I’m on my way back to the company.”
“Why did you go alone without telling me? Is he okay?”
“Yes, he’s fine. The hospital belongs to the Derek family, and Dr. Ellis is in charge there. The hospital staff won’t casually talk about it. At least not in front of us. As for what they say privately, it’s their freedom. After all, we can’t force them to keep their mouths shut completely.”
As long as they didn’t discuss it in front of Callum, it was fine. His grandfather was getting older and had lived his life honestly. He was someone who knew how to set boundaries well. Because his grandmother passed away early on, his grandfather has been alone all these years. If he really wanted to find a partner, he would have done it a long time ago.
His grandfather had a good reputation in Hance City’s social circles. Many people respected him not only because he was the patriarch of the Simpson family but also because of his good character.
How could such a respected elder be the person described in those comments?
However, such discussions still hurt Callum’s feelings. He worried that those comments from the employees who have worked for the Simpson family might have some truth to them. In that case, it meant he hadn’t done enough or provided them with basic security measures, leading to these discussions.
He instructed Fletcher, “Investigate for me and find out if any employees who have worked for the Simpson family are involved.”
If there was no connection, it would ease his worries.
But the old man specifically instructed Fletcher not to let Ayan know about the investigation because of Ayan’s impulsive nature. If it turned out that someone who has worked for the Simpson family is involved, Ayan might resort to some ruthless methods to make them beg for mercy.
Although this incident involving Callum made headlines briefly, it was dealt with promptly and properly. Even if someone wanted to continue spreading rumors, they wouldn’t be able to make it trending again. It even became a sensitive topic.
Ayan’s skills and abilities were so formidable that they were more than enough to ensure those with ulterior motives could no longer stir up trouble.
Two days later…
There was news about Callum being discharged from the hospital.
Dr. Ellis discussed with other doctors and sent a brand new set of medical equipment directly to the Simpson’s mansion.
Within a day, they set up a professional medical room similar to a hospital for any future needs.
Nurses and doctors were also assigned accordingly.
They were all students of Dr. Ellis and trustworthy individuals.
The Simpson’s mansion consisted of two villas-the main residence in front and another smaller villa at the back specifically for household staff and chefs. It was spacious enough to accommodate visiting doctors and nurses as well.
Callum would live in his original bedroom while the old butler’s bedroom was cleared out and repurposed as a treatment room.
This arrangement was professional and thoughtful.
After Dr. Ellis took care of everything efficiently, Ayan came to pick up his grandfather from the hospital.
Ayan asked Kian to handle the payment, but Dr. Ellis said directly, “We’re all family. No need to pay.”
Aria was his daughter-in-law, but even without this relationship, Dr. Ellis wouldn’t charge anything.
The two families had been close for many years. Moreover, Simpson Group had made substantial donations to the hospital-things that money couldn’t buy.
Although Dr. Ellis said so, Ayan still didn’t fully accept it and had medical equipment delivered directly to the hospital through Kian’s arrangements.
Ayan brought Camille along to pick up his grandfather but deliberately chose to do so at night to avoid being photographed or making the news about his grandfather’s hospitalization confirmed. The previous rumors and leaks hadn’t received any response from the Simpson family. In the end, everything died down.
After everything was settled, Callum was officially discharged from the hospital.
He had been there for several months without stepping outside his ward even once.
Now, as he rode down in the elevator and got into the business car, he said to Camille, “Finally going home.”
Camille immediately reassured him by saying, “You’ll stay at home from now on. Returning home will make you feel much better. Everything will be fine.”
Callum nodded happily and said, “You’re right!”
The group returned to the mansion where Talia had taken care of everything while Timothy stayed at home.
Returning home made Callum feel happy.
Upon hearing about the news, Aria immediately flew back along with Derek. Rex came with Sienna and Madison as well.
The mansion was bustling with joy today.
Everyone immersed themselves in happiness.
Fletcher pulled Ayan aside and informed him truthfully about what his father had arranged for him. He asked Ayan, “Did you investigate?”
Ayan replied calmly, “This matter has nothing to do with our family members. You don’t need to think too much about it. I understand Grandpa’s concerns-it’s just that he worries I might be too ruthless towards others.”
Fletcher didn’t deny it either. He informed Ayan because he believed Ayan would handle it better.
