Hayden quickly pressed her down. “You can’t sit up right now. The doctor said you have to lie down for a speedy recovery.”
In fact, there was nothing wrong with Grandma May.
Hayden was worried that something might happen to the old lady, so she insisted on sending Grandma May to the hospital for a checkup. Although the doctor said that there were no problems found, Granma May kept saying that she was in pain, so the doctor suggested that she stay in the hospital for a few days of observation.
If it were anyone else, Hayden would have thought it was an insurance scam.
However, she did not suspect the old woman.
She knew who Kevin was.
This old woman was Kevin’s grandmother. She was Old Mrs. York of the richest family in Wiltspoon. Her reputation spread far and wide in the community.
Grandma May did not insist on sitting up.
“How are you feeling today? Does it still hurt?”
Hayden sat down in front of Grandma May’s hospital bed.
“It doesn’t hurt, but I was quite startled back then, so I didn’t sleep well these nights. I get jolted awake easily”
Hayden fell silent
After a long time, she said apologetically. “My driver drove too fast and almost hit you that day. Fortunately, you were fine. I bought some supplements for you that have a calming effect. Feel free to take them”
“I don’t blame you, Mr. Queen. I was also at fault for not paying attention when crossing the road I’m fine. When Kevin comes back, I’ll tell him to help me get discharged from the hospital. It’s boring lying here all day.”
Grandma May asked, “Mr. Queen, what are the interesting places in Jensburg?”
“There are quite a lot of tourist attractions in Jensburg. If you want to go around, you can ask Mr. York to accompany you.”
Grandma May’s expression immediately fell. “Kevin came here on a business trip and has a lot of work to handle. He’s busy every day and doesn’t have time to stroll around with me. It has also been a long time since I last came to Jensburg. I came here with my late husband several times. when I was young.
“Now that I’m old, I want to revisit the places we traveled together as a couple. I want to do it while I’m still alive and can walk around.”
Hayden was still silent.
Seeing the fruits on the bedside table, she quietly picked up a large apple and got up to go to the bathroom to clean it. She then sat in front of the bed to peel it for the old lady.
When Hayden did not say anything, Grandma May took the initiative and asked, “Mr. Queen, could you arrange a tour guide for me?”
Hayden said in a low voice, “Mr. York can arrange it.”
“Kevin won’t agree to me sightseeing unless I have someone he trusts to accompany me. Sigh, I’m old and useless, and now I don’t even have my freedom. I have to consult my children and grandchildren and get their permission before I can go anywhere. If they don’t agree, I can’t move an inch.”
Hayden sliced the peeled apple and handed one piece to the old woman. Her voice remained low as she said, “Granny, you’re being unfair by saying that about your children and grandchildren.”
Hayden continued, “As far as I know, you’re free to do whatever you want in Wiltspoon. No one will dare say a word against you if you want to go anywhere.”
Grandma May was speechless.
This trick worked very well with Serena, but not against Hayden.
Hayden would not offer to accompany the old woman.
At that moment, Kevin came back.
He indeed took advantage of the fact that his nana had not woken up yet to take care of business.
It was close to noon now, and he packed lunch from his hotel and sent it over for his nana to eat. From a distance, he saw a few black–clad bodyguards walking around at the entrance of his nana’s ward. He knew that it was Hayden who came to visit.
Kevin felt helpless.
He knew that his grandmother was looking forward to her grandchildren starting families of their own, but that was no excuse for shoving a tomboy at him.
He really did not feel any sparks for Mr. Queen.
Seeing Hayden was like looking at a handsome man. Kevin felt that he would be gay if his heart skipped a beat for a good–looking guy.
The Queen family’s bodyguards saw Kevin bringing a meal over and nodded at him. “Mr. York.” Kevin was responsible for all the hotels under York Corporation. When Zack and he were not in the same room, everyone called him Mr. York.
If Zack was present, everyone would call him Mr. Kevin instead.
Kevin responded to the bodyguards before pushing the door and entering the ward. He saw Hayden sitting in front of the bed, silently watching his nana without a word. Meanwhile, his nana ate an apple while speaking, but Hayden did not respond.
Grandma May seemed relieved to see him come in.
Kevin suddenly had the urge to turn tail and run.
“Kevin.”
The old lady did not give her grandson a chance to sneak out and immediately called out to him.
Kevin walked over to greet his nana and Hayden.
“Mr. York.”
Hayden stood up and stopped talking after she greeted Kevin. After standing for a moment, she found an excuse to leave.
Grandma May told her grandson to see Hayden out.
Two minutes later, Kevin returned to the ward.
“Back so soon?”
Kevin said in amusement, “How long did you want me to take? Mr. Queen is very busy and has plans for lunch with a big client. She only came to see you because she was passing by the hospital.”
If not for the fact that Grandma May fell down and was hospitalized because she was startled b Hayden’s car, causing Hayden to feel a sense of responsibility, she would not have taken the tim to visit the old woman.
“Kevin, find a reason to invite her to a meal at one of our hotels.”
Kevin paused. “Nana… What excuse am I going to use to invite her? Thank you for scaring my nana until she was hospitalized“?”
Grandma May was speechless.
Then, she said, “You’re a smart boy, you can think of something. Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking. Mr. Queen is a great person and is a perfect match for you. Your mouth never stops chattering, but Mr. Queen doesn’t talk much. You two won’t be bored together.”
“Nana, you’re also calling her Mr. Queen. When I look at her, it’s really as if I’m looking at a man. She won’t admit that she’s a woman either. You keep trying to push us together, but I feel like I’m looking for a brother instead of a wife. It feels like I’m gay.”
Grandma May laughed. “She’s very convincing at playing the role of a man, but experienced people will be able to tell by hearing her voice. Her deliberate deep voice is different from your natural baritone. Her voice is still crisp and bright, unlike yours which is magnetic.
“She portrays herself as a man, but she knows very well that she’s a woman. She just doesn’t admit it. It’ll be clear when she takes her clothes off.”
Kevin could not help but ask, “Nana, am I really your grandson? If you’re upset with me, you can just beat me up with your cane. If that doesn’t work, you can beat me up two, three more times. You don’t need to do this to me.
“I’d get beaten to death by Mr. Queen if I dared remove her clothes. This is Jensburg, not Wiltspoon. Jensburg is the Queens‘ territory!”
Kevin complained that his nana was setting him up but his hands continued to move as he washed the cutlery. He brought over the meal he packed, served it in a bowl, and wanted to feed her, but she refused.
It was not like the old woman was really injured. She could eat by herself and did not need her grandson to feed her.
“I didn’t tell you to forcibly strip her to confirm her gender. After you get acquainted with her, you can ask her to go to the hot springs with you. Can’t you think of something that simple?”
Kevin was speechless.
“Nana loves you the most. Didn’t you see that I’m not interfering with Callum and letting him dig his own grave? Instead, I’m personally stepping in when it comes to you. How could you say I’m not treating you like my grandson?”
Kevin muttered, “I’d rather you give that kind of love to Callum.”
Although Callurn’s wife candidate was blind, at least she did not dress up like a man like Hayden.
Ms. Newman must be smart if she could be chosen by his nana.
“I’ve left Callum in the care of Zack and Seren, so I don’t have to worry about him.”
