Chapter 286 Guarantee Completion of the Task
"Double the year-end bonus."
With just this sentence, Todd immediately perked up. He said firmly, "I guarantee completion of the task."
So what if he had no experience? He could search online or, at worst, ask those in the company who had experience in dating. He would find a way.
Todd left the hospital room, and Dermot continued to be busy. However, Evelyn's figure constantly appeared in his mind, making it impossible for him to concentrate on his work.
Helpless and with a bitter smile, he had never imagined that one day he would be like this because of a woman.
When Grandpa Doyle arrived at the hospital, it was already dark outside. He hurriedly pushed open the door to Dermot's room, and his eyes were filled with indescribable worry when he saw Dermot lying on the bed.
"Grandpa? Why did you come?" He had clearly notified Todd not to let the news leak, but Grandpa Doyle still found out.
Grandpa Doyle glared at him, not hiding his anger. "Why shouldn't I come? Shouldn't a grandfather know when his grandson is injured?"
"Grandpa, I just didn't want you to worry," Dermot and Marina tried to calm Grandpa Doyle down.
But Grandpa Doyle wasn't going to let it go so easily. He snorted in anger and continued, "Worried? I think you're worried that I'm not worried enough, aren't you?"
"Grandpa!"
"If you really were worried about me, you wouldn't have done something that put yourself in danger like this. You..."
Grandpa Doyle looked at Dermot with a look of indifference, which made him really angry.
Dermot remained silent and could not argue back.
In that moment, he only saw Phoebe's car about to hit Evelyn and he knew he couldn't let anything happen to her.
So without thinking, he drove straight into the car to protect her.
As for the consequences he would face, he hadn't really considered them.
Seeing Dermot's silence, Grandpa Doyle sighed helplessly.
"I know you did it to save Evelyn, but... you should also value your own life," he said.
"Grandpa, I know. Don't worry, I'll be careful from now on," Dermot reassured him, not wanting to continue worrying his grandfather.
However, Grandpa Doyle didn't let it go. He looked at Dermot and shook his head after a moment.
"I can't tell anymore, whether it is better for you and Evelyn to be together or not," he said.
"Grandpa, why are you saying this?" Dermot didn't understand the meaning behind Grandpa Doyle's words, but he felt that it wasn't that simple.
Grandpa Doyle just sighed and didn't say anything.
For him, he always insisted on keeping the two together because he knew Evelyn's true background and knew that when she returned to that family, she would bring endless help to the Doyle family.
But the premise for all of this was that Dermot had to live well.
From the current situation, it seemed that Evelyn would face more and more dangers.
If his foolish grandson rushed out every time to protect her...
Grandpa Doyle didn't dare to think about the consequences.
He only knew that if something happened to Dermot, then no matter how powerful Evelyn's background was, it would mean nothing to him.
"Dermot, actually, thinking about it now, if you really don't like Evelyn, then don't like her. There's no need to force yourself to like her because of me," Grandpa Doyle chose to protect his grandson and didn't want him to be in any danger.
At this moment, Dermot frowned and wasn't too happy.
"Grandpa, what do you mean by saying this now? Love is not something that can be forced. We either like someone or we don't," Dermot said.
"Dermot..." "Grandpa, I'm already an adult and I have my own judgment," Dermot interrupted Grandpa Doyle.
"I can tell you with certainty that Evelyn is the person I've been looking for. From now on, whether you agree or not, I will be with her."
