The spacious hallway suddenly became quiet and oppressive. Seeing Be in Christopher’s arms,


    leaning softly into his embrace, Justin felt a pang of pain in his heart. His eyes reddened.


    In the days without him, their rtionship seemed to have progressed rapidly.


    Justin felt increasingly bitter as he thought about it. He lowered his eyes and stopped looking at Be,


    gripping the handles of Nigel’s wheelchair tightly.


    “Be, you’ve just finished an extremely tough surgery. You’re exhausted and need to rest now.”


    Christopher was aware of Nigel and Justin, but he did not avoid them, keeping his focus on Be. He


    looked at her affectionately. “I’ll send you home.”


    “Grandpa Nigel?”


    Be ignored Christopher’s gentle advances and walked toward Nig with a worried face. She kneeled


    on one knee and held his wrinkly hands. “Grandpa Nigel, why did youe to the hospital? Is there


    something wrong with your health?”


    Justin pursed his lips, feeling bitter. A man of his size stood here, but


    Be acted as if she could not see him at all. It looked like she only had eyes for Christopher.


    “Child, I’m fine. It’s a chronic illness. My heart was aching, so Justin insisted on bringing me to the


    hospital thiste at night.” Nigel still looked at Be dotingly.


    “Grandpa Nigel, you can’t neglect your health. You need to listen to me and undergo regr check-


    ups.” Be was still worried.


    “Anna, is this…” Nigel scrutinized Christopher with a meaningful gaze.


    “Old Master Nigel, I’m Christopher Iverson.” Christopher stepped forward and bowed politely.


    “Oh, I remember you. I saw you at Celeste’s birthday banquet. You are Chairman Iverson’s youngest


    son.” Nigel praised out of courtesy,” You look handsome and talented!”


    Nigel thought about how close Christopher looked to Be just now and felt displeased. They probably


    had a special rtionship.


    Moreover, Nigel was sensitive enough to notice the tension between Be and Justin. They looked


    even more awkward than they did when they had just divorced.


    What should he do?


    Nigel wanted to pull Be aside for a chat when a sharp voice sounded.


    “Grandpa, how are you feeling?”


    Be raised her eyes and saw Zoe running toward them like a gush of wind, only wearing her pajamas.


    Two bodyguards followed closely behind her but did not dare to get too close.


    Nigel’s mouth twitched when he saw Zoe, and he red at Justin fiercely.


    Justin’s brows furrowed, and he looked at Zoe coldly. “Why did youe?”


    “I heard that Grandpa was sick, so I couldn’t fall asleep and sneaked out to visit Grandpa.”


    Zoe’s cheeks were red as she spoke. Her messy hair, pajamas, and slippers proved how worried she


    was about Nigel.


    “Miss, are you Ryan’s sister?” Nigel asked with a smile that did not reach his eyes.


    “Yes, Grandpa. I’m Zoe.” Zoe intertwined her fingers nervously and blushed.


    It was her first time meeting Nigel. In the future, she would marry into the Salvador family, and her


    current appearance was indeed inappropriate.


    However, she thought this anxious look would highlight her concern for Nigel, making it less significant


    to care about her attire.

    “Ms. Hoffman…”


    “Grandpa, just call me Zoe.”
