Chapter 80 - In your dreams

Running his fingers through her hair, Kevin said," I'll pick you, message or call me when you are done."

" I'll be going to Janet's place after meeting grandpa." Silvia said.

Kevin nodded his head and said," Okay, I'll pick you up from her place then".

Giving a peck on his cheeks, Silvia got off the car.

Touching his cheeks, Kevin cheekily smiled and drove out of the hospital.

….

Inside the hospital.

Grandpa's room.

A middle-aged man neatly dressed in a brown suit was sitting on the couch staring at Grandpa Jones.

Grandpa Jones frowned and said," What are you staring at huh? Is this how you greet your sick father?"

William Jones narrowed his eyes and said," Sick? You are completely fine father."

" Of course you will say that because if I die, you will automatically get everything that you've wanted for so many years." Grandpa Jones roared.

" You know how many deals have been kept pending because they need your signature in that? If you are tired of running the company, hand over everything to me and go for a long vacation with Mother." William Jones said.

" In your dreams." Grandpa Jones said. 

" Your doctor said that you are completely fine. So stop pretending and go home." William said.

Just then Silvia entered the room saying," Hey grandpa, I brought your favourite tuna sandwich."

When William Jones saw Silvia, he narrowed his eyes. 

Turning his gaze towards his father, William was about to say something when he heard Grandpa Jones say," You nurse don't you have any courtesy or manners? How can you just barge into my room like that? This how you people treat your VIP patient?" 

Silvia found grandpa's behaviour very strange and unlikely. 

" I am sorry sir." Silvia said before walking out of the room.

Grandpa Jones heart pricked when he heard Silvia's professional tone. 

" Do you know who she is?" William asked.

" Yes, she is a hospital staff." Grandpa Jones said.

" You-"

Just then someone knocked at the door.

" I am sorry for disturbing you again sir but my husband made this tuna sandwich early in the morning so I wanted to give it to you because it's healthy and fresh. If you don't want to eat it, you can throw it away or give it to someone." Silvia said before walking out of the room.

William smirked and said," Just like Sabrina."

….

High spirit club.

" So you are planning to propose to her?" Chris asked.

Rocky nodded his head and said," Yes."

When Rocky saw Kevin and Chris staring at him,he shrugged his shoulders and said," What? I am serious this time okay? I really like her. She isn't just a fling or something that I have had in the past. I have stopped fooling around after meeting her."

Kevin nodded his head and said," Yes that is true."

" Oh my God Chris don't look behind. Don't look behind." Rocky murmured.

Turning around, Chris asked," Why shouldn't I-" he stopped talking when he saw Martha entering the club with a handsome young man. 

" They look grea-" When Chris gave Rocky a deadly glare, Rocky cleared his throat and said " I mean yucks they look disgusting together."

" What is Martha doing with that guy? Tell me he is a waiter who is just escorting her to an empty table." Chris said.

Kevin shrugged his shoulders and said," That man doesn't seem to be a waiter but a date."

" A date? Martha is dating someone else?" Chris asked.

" Dude how would we know? And even if she is, what is wrong in that? She is young and beautiful. Only stupid people like you would cheat on girls like Martha." Rocky said.

" For the last time, I did not cheat on her. I loved her okay and I still do." Chris said staring at Martha who was smiling and the man who according to Chris was spouting nonsense.

" Well, it's totally your fault Chris." Kevin said.

" You both are worse than enemies." Chris said.

….

Hospital.

As soon as William Jones left the hospital, Grandpa Jones grabbed the sandwich from the table and started gulping it down.

Just then Jackie entered the room and said," Slow down dad, the sandwich is going to disappear." 

" This is so tasty." Grandpa Jones said.

" Can I get a bite?" Jackie asked.

" Huh no way." Grandpa Jones said before placing the last piece inside his mouth.

Sitting beside his father, Jackie said," We have to go back now. I think William knows."

Grandpa Jones nodded his head and said," Hmm, help me get Silvia's personal number from the hospital and get the papers ready. We have to leave."

Jackie nodded his head and said," Okay."

" How are they?" Grandpa Jones asked.

" They are fine, I just had a talk with them in the morning." Jackie said.

….

After leaving the hospital, William Jones called one of his men and said," Keep an eye on my father and brother. And what about the information that I had asked you to collect?"

" About that Sir, we did not get anything out of our investigation. Either he is just an ordinary citizen or is someone powerful who has successfully hidden his personal information." The man said.

" Hmm I feel that there is nothing so special about that man." William said.

" May be but yesterday night when was about to barge into their house to gather more information, few men chased me away." The man said.

" Men? Are you sure they weren't the night guards of the area?" William asked.

" No sir, they were hired men. I think they were guarding  the house." The man said.

" Judas, investigate deeper and call me if you find anything suspicious." William said before hanging up the call.

…..

Janet and Silvia were baking a cake when Silvia received a message from an unknown number.

The messages said: The sandwich was very tasty and I am sorry for my rude behaviour. I was a bit tensed and worried when my son told me about the pending and stalled works back in my office. I am leaving today but I may come back and get admitted because of a cardiac arrest again. Until then, take care of yourself and miss this old grandpa of yours :)
