Chapter 795 Discharge From the Hospital
Juniper was eating oatmeal, her eyes sparkling.
She said to George, very excitedly, "George, the oatmeal you made is really delicious. It's the best oatmeal I've ever had, much better than what our chef makes. So good."
George felt a bit shy after being praised by Juniper.
He quickly said, "It's just okay. Ms. Monroe, it's your first time trying it, so it feels fresh and good."
"No," Juniper said firmly, "No matter how many times I eat it, George's oatmeal is always delicious."
George was a bit overwhelmed.
He had social anxiety when dealing with overly enthusiastic people.
He quickly said, "I'll go keep Ms. Lockhart company."
Alaric nodded slightly.
George left.
Juniper watched George's back and sneered to herself.
George walked out of the ward and ran into Cassius and Dashiell.
They had just finished smoking and returned.
To be honest, they just didn't want to get too involved and chose to avoid it.
Seeing George coming out of Alaric's ward, they were a bit surprised. Cassius asked, "George, why are you coming out of here? Why aren't you with Cecilia?"
"Ms. Lockhart ate something, and then Mr. Whitaker also needed to eat, so I brought some over," George said happily.
"You said Cecilia ate something?" Cassius thought he misheard.
So miraculous?
As soon as Juniper came, Cecilia compromised.
If he had known, he would have brought Juniper over a few days ago.
"Yes, thanks to Ms. Monroe. She talked to Ms. Lockhart, and Ms. Lockhart ate something," George couldn't think too deeply. On the surface, at least, Juniper really did a good deed.
Cassius nodded slightly.
George didn't delay and went to Cecilia's ward.
Cassius turned to look at Dashiell, who had a meaningful expression, "Your idea was pretty good!"
He was praising Dashiell for being thorough.
Dashiell forced a smile.
He actually felt a bit shameless.
Between Alaric and Cecilia, he still stood on Alaric's side.
"By the way, what made Cecilia change her mind?" Cassius muttered.
Cecilia was a rational person.
She knew very well that strong resistance would hardly lead to a good outcome.
So she chose to give in.
As for how long she would give in, Dashiell couldn't guarantee.
Cecilia wanted to be discharged that day.
But whether she could be discharged, she had to get Alaric's consent.
She now understood very clearly.
Living under someone else's roof, she had to have the attitude of living under someone else's roof.
Juniper's reminder was very right.
If something really happened to Alaric, no one in the Lockhart family would escape.
She walked into Alaric's ward.
In the ward.
Juniper was half-lying on the sofa, playing with her phone.
Alaric was sitting on the hospital bed, handling business on his computer.
Cassius and Dashiell were smoking on the balcony outside.
There were also many bodyguards in the ward.
The large room seemed a bit crowded.
Alaric was obviously a bit nervous when he saw Cecilia suddenly appear.
His hands typing on the keyboard paused.
He could feel his heartbeat speeding up.
This was the first time Cecilia had come to him voluntarily.
And it was after she started eating.
His tense body was very obvious.
Of course, Juniper also saw Cecilia come in.
She didn't show any emotion on her face, but she was naturally unhappy in her heart.
Especially seeing Alaric's appearance, Juniper was even more unhappy.
At Alaric's inauguration ceremony, in front of so many people, in front of the whole nation, he didn't show any nervousness.
He was always calm and composed with everyone and everything, except when facing Cecilia, he was not calm at all.
"Can I be discharged?" Cecilia walked up to Alaric and said directly.
Alaric's heart was beating fast.
He could feel the heartbeat that seemed to jump out, one beat after another, making him unable to say a word for a long time.
He was afraid that his voice would tremble if he spoke.
"I just asked the doctor. I'm just a bit weak, but I can recover. The baby is also healthy. I don't need to stay in the hospital. As long as I eat well, the baby and I will recover quickly," Cecilia said. "I will eat well."
Alaric looked at Cecilia, at her unusually calm appearance.
It seemed like one second, Cecilia was still fiercely rejecting him, and the next second, she suddenly became calm.
She could get along with him harmoniously.
Alaric hadn't answered yet.
Cecilia continued, "After being discharged, I will still stay at the Whitaker Villa and go nowhere else."
Cecilia had been compromising all along.
Although her tone didn't carry a strong request, it could be felt that she had completely accepted it.
Accepted the existence of her special status.
"Okay," Alaric responded, not saying much.
He actually didn't know what to say. He was even afraid that his excitement at the moment would scare her, so he could only force himself to be calm, even cold.
"Thank you," Cecilia thanked him.
At that moment, Alaric's heart suddenly hurt a bit.
Cecilia's sudden obedience made his heart feel like it was being pricked by needles.
He knew she didn't really want to compromise, but rationality made her choose this way.
After Cecilia finished speaking, she turned to leave.
Alaric suddenly grabbed her hand.
Cecilia pursed her lips.
Juniper watched from the side, her eyes clearly tightened.
Cassius and Dashiell had now also turned their attention inside, both watching Cecilia and Alaric nervously.
Cassius was really worried that Cecilia and Alaric would fight again.
Dashiell's attention, on the other hand, was on Juniper.
He noticed the subtle changes in Juniper's expression.
"I'll take you back," Alaric said.
His voice was deep.
He didn't know if it was because of his tongue injury, but he spoke with difficulty.
Cecilia was silent for a few seconds.
After a few seconds, Cecilia nodded, "Okay."
Alaric's heart sped up again.
He thought Cecilia would refuse.
He actually regretted it the moment he grabbed her hand. He shouldn't have been so impatient.
But he seemed unable to control himself.
By the time he realized it, the words had already come out.
He was prepared to be rejected by Cecilia, but unexpectedly, Cecilia agreed immediately.
"I'll wait for you in the ward," Cecilia said.
"I'll be there in a moment."
"Okay."
Then.
Neither Cecilia nor Alaric spoke.
Alaric was still holding Cecilia's hand, not daring to use force, but unwilling to let go.
He was really scared of Cecilia's rejection these days.
He was really afraid that if he let go, Cecilia would change again.
Cecilia would reject all his approaches again.
She would be far away from him again.
In the end, he reluctantly let go of her.
He was actually afraid she would be disgusted.
He didn't dare to push too far.
After Alaric let go, Cecilia left.
She returned to her ward.
The first thing Cecilia did was wash her hands.
The touch just now was just enduring.
That's all.
