After William called to break up with Valeria, Hayden felt a little better.
William fed him half a bowl of porridge before he lied down to rest.
When he was lying down, he did not let William leave his side. He also didn’t allow him to call or text on his phone in order to prevent him from secretly sending Valeria a message. Other than that, he also confiscated his phone. He asked Lucas and the maid to keep an eye on him to prevent him from leaving.
William didn’t know what to do, so he sat on the sofa while staring at Hayden with wide eyes.
Hayden held William’s phone and stared at him for a while before falling asleep.
The maid and Lucas witnessed the whole process and felt sorry for William.
The maid lowered her voice and said, “Sir William, he is in poor health. Please bear with him a little longer. Talk to him about it when he’s well.”
“Yes, I know.” He nodded.
“I will inform Miss Brown on behalf of you. I’ll tell her not to think too much about it.”
“She won’t think too much about it,” He said as he stood up. “You guys keep an eye on him. I’ll go out for a while.”
“Sir, don’t go too far. If sir wakes up and you’re not here, it would be troublesome.”
“I won’t go far. I’m just having a few words with Bobby.”
William went out of the ward to look for Bobby and said, “Give me your cell phone!”
He took out his mobile phone and said, “Sir, are you calling Miss Brown? I have just told her about it, and she is not angry.”
“You’re pretty smart, aren’t you?” He said with a smile.
“It’s because I’ve been with you for such a long time, so I picked it up from you.”
“You’re too humble.” He said as he took the phone from Bobby’s hand and called Valeria.
“Were you angry just now?”
“No, I wasn’t. I knew that something must have happened, and I was worried about you, but Bobby called me just now so I know the situation.”
“My dad’s in poor health. and he is truly impacted by this situation. It’s all my fault. I should have done my best to protect Savannah back then. This way, he might not have reacted like this.”
“It’s too late to say anything now. Honey, I can talk to him when he gets better. If he still doesn’t approve of us, I’ll get on my knees to beg him.”
Her words touched him. “That’s not necessary. He currently has a lot of prejudice against the Saunders family, so it’s useless for you to kneel and beg him. He took away my phone and forbade me from leaving and contacting you, so I may not be able to see you for a while.”
Hearing this, she sighed. “Ah… So cruel? What should I do? Shall I ask my father and grandfather to talk to him?”
“I don’t think that’d help.”
“We should still give it a shot. I’ve already called my mom. My dad and the others may go there later. I’ll ask them to put down their ego and talk to him nicely.”
“Alright, let’s give it a shot. I honestly don’t think that it’ll be of much use, so I’ll think of a way to solve this problem.”
Hearing that Hayden had woken up, Gavin and Archer went to visit him at night.
When faced with his former friend, Gavin, Hayden’s attitude was extremely hostile. He didn’t give Gavin the chance to speak at all and notified the bodyguards to chase him away.
Before Gavin and Archer could enter the ward, they were stopped by bodyguards.
Hayden wasn’t pretending to be sick this time, so William couldn’t do anything about it either. He could only watch with a wry smile as Gavin and Archer were chased away.
Seeing that William did not stand up for them, Hayden felt much more at ease.
Under William’s care, Hayden had a bowl of porridge for dinner. After feeding him, William began to yawn.
After multiple yawns, the maid’s heart ached. “Sir, please let William go back to rest. Look at how tired he is.”
Hayden’s heart ached when he saw William’s dark under-eye circles. However, when he thought about how he would go to see Valeria, he firmly refused. “Rest here. Don’t leave my sight.”
“There is no way to sleep on the sofa at all. William is so tall. Sleeping on that sofa will only make him more tired. He has never suffered since he was a child, and he has been by your side for three nights. How can he bear it any longer? You’d better let him go back to rest.”
Hayden still refused to let him go, so Lucas interrupted, “How about this? I’ll personally send him back to the estate to rest and bring him back to you tomorrow. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of him.”
Lucas was one of his people, and he had been loyal to him for so many years, so he probably wouldn’t favor William.
Hayden finally agreed. “Alright, you can bring William back.”
As they were leaving, Hayden reminded him, “You’ve been following me for so many years, so you should know what’s important. Take good care of William. He’s full of tricks, so you’d better watch out for him. Don’t be fooled by him.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on him.” Lucas promised.
He followed William to the parking lot. After getting in the car, William told him, “I haven’t seen my wife for three days. I miss her very much. Please send me to see my wife.”
“Sir, please don’t make things difficult for me.”
“Am I making things difficult for you?” William looked at him with a faint smile. “You should know that I only went along with whatever my father said in the ward because I was forced to, right? He is getting old and he is really mad this time. With his poor health, I can only go along with him and make him happy. But it’s not the same for the rest of the people.”
He said these words with a smile, so Lucas was very worried. The person in front of him wasn’t an airhead, but the actual CEO of the Wolf Group. If he wasn’t happy, then he would definitely have bad consequences.
However, he had promised Hayden that he would keep an eye on William. Wasn’t it against his will for William to see Valeria?
Lucas thought for a long time before opening his mouth. “Sir, I’ve been loyal to sir for so many years, and I’ve never betrayed him. What kind of person will I become if you force me to betray him? I still have to serve him in the future. Do you wish for your subordinates to be threatened by others and forced to betray you? I’m begging you. Please don’t make things difficult for me, alright?”
William narrowed his eyes and said, “Fine, I’ll let it go since you don’t want to betray my dad. I’m hungry, so please let me go get something to eat.”
Since he agreed to not meet Valeria, Lucas would naturally agree to the rest of his requests. “What would you like to eat?”
“Let’s go to the Howard family’s hotel. I remember the fish and chicken made by the chef there was exceptionally good. Let’s go over and have that.”
“Alright!” Lucas let out a sigh of relief. As long as William didn’t go to the Wolf Group and stayed on the Howard family’s property, no accidents would happen.
Soon, the car arrived at the Howard family’s hotel. Lucas was busy arranging William’s dinner, while William went to the private room alone and pushed the door open. Valeria was waiting for him inside.
He rushed over to hold her with his long arms and gave her a big kiss. After Lucas ordered the food, he went into the room. When he saw the two of them hugging each other, his eyes were wide opened in shock.
