Chapter 196
The tone was joking, but everyone could hear how proud the old man was.

After Moore finished examining him, his cold gaze swept over the other Watson Family members: "This is a hospital. If there's nothing else, please leave. The old man needs rest."

"That's right, hurry up and go. You're giving me a headache with all this noise." Grandpa Watson twisted the knife further.

The Watson Family members left reluctantly.

As Moore was leaving, he passed by Jane and John and said, "Miss Watson, if you want to take the old man home to care for him yourself, you can discharge him anytime. If you want to keep him in the hospital, just say the word and I'll arrange for special care. If you have time, come by my office."

Jane nodded.

Moore said to John Smith, "John, if you're not busy, come with Miss Watson."

"Mm."

John responded coolly.

Outside the door, Anna watched them standing together in such harmony, grinding her teeth in hatred.

Smith Corporation sponsored countless ventures - when did he ever show such deference to a hospital director?

All of this was for Jane.

For Jane, he really could lower himself again and again.

How could he do this much for Jane?

Could it be that he was really starting to like Jane?

No, she couldn't stand the fact that Jane was richer than her. She had to get John as soon as possible...

...

Without the Watson Family making noise, the hospital room finally quieted down.

Grandpa Watson glanced at Grandpa Smith and said helplessly, "Old friend, I've made you witness this embarrassment. My son and daughter-in-law are so unfilial - not one of them gives me peace of mind."

"Hey, don't mention it. Every family has someone who's missing a brain cell. My old Smith Family's reputation has been completely ruined by my daughter-in-law. My friendship with Old Bai all these years - I never thought my daughter-in-law could do such a thing. Good thing he found Jane, otherwise I'd never be able to face that old friend again."

Grandpa Smith also spoke helplessly, sighing: "That's why they say marry a virtuous wife. A good wife brings prosperity for three generations, better than owning thousands of acres of fertile land."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Jane. "I wonder who'll be lucky enough to marry our Jane someday."

He also shot a look at his grandson.

This kid was great at business, but when it came to winning over a wife, he'd been at it so long without success - totally useless.

Old Mrs. Watson also held her granddaughter's hand with satisfaction, saying proudly, "Our Jane, even if she doesn't want to get married in the future, that's fine. My Watson Family's precious granddaughter can't just be given away to be bullied by someone else."

At these words, Jane instinctively looked toward John.

John happened to be looking at her too.

Their eyes met.

Everyone knew the old lady's words were meant for him.

After all, six years ago when he divorced Jane, it drove her far away from home.

The old lady still felt bitter about it. No matter how excellent John was, he had bullied her granddaughter, and that was unacceptable.

She didn't know that John hadn't been against Jane - he had just been against having his life arranged for him.

He hadn't liked Jane back then, and even if he could turn back time, he would make the same choice.

Jane didn't want the elderly people's conversation to keep revolving around her and John, and she didn't want to get entangled with John anymore. She actively changed the subject, saying to the old lady, "Grandma, why don't you go home and rest? I can take care of Grandpa here. Don't worry."

"Silly child, of course I'm not worried with you here, but with your grandpa in the hospital, I won't rest well at home either. I'll stay too."

She and her husband had supported each other for a lifetime. In this situation, she wasn't comfortable leaving the old man alone in the hospital.

Jane understood their relationship, so she didn't try to persuade her to go home anymore. She just said, "Don't worry, Grandma. With me here, Grandpa will be fine. It won't be long before he can be discharged."

"Right, right. Jane just gave me medicine, and I already feel much better. Even my breathing is much smoother." Grandpa Watson asked Jane, "Girl, what medicine did you just give Grandpa? It feels much more effective than the hospital medicine."

"That's a special heart-clearing pill made by Ellen to protect the heart. Don't worry about taking it - there are no side effects." Jane patiently explained to him.

"Is it similar to the heart-protecting pills you gave us last time?"

"Yes, the ingredients are similar. But the heart-protecting pills were made for most people with heart conditions, while the heart-clearing pills - after I told Ellen about you and Grandma's physical condition, Ellen added a few more herbs and specially made them for Grandpa."

As Jane spoke, she took out a small bottle from her bag and placed it in the old lady's hand. "Grandma, you can take this medicine too, one pill every two days. Don't try to save them - when you finish them, I'll ask Ellen to make more for us."

"Okay, okay. Grandma will do whatever you say." The old lady's voice trembled with emotion.

"Tell me, girl, are you and Ellen close?" Grandpa Smith asked curiously.

"Pretty close." Herself with herself - how could they not be close?

"Then get me one too."

"You're perfectly healthy - what do you need it for?" Jane said with amusement. "Don't worry, if you feel unwell, just tell me."

At these words, four pairs of eyes in the room all turned to look at her.

Only then did Jane realize she'd spoken too quickly. She hurriedly added, "With Ellen around, you don't need to worry about your health."

The three elderly people didn't suspect anything.

Only John watched her quietly, as if trying to see right through her.

Jane felt it but didn't dare look back.

She wondered if this man suspected something.

Fortunately, he didn't say much.

He looked at his grandfather: "Grandpa, if there's nothing else, you should go first. With so many people at the hospital, Grandpa Watson can't rest well either. I'll take you back."

"Alright, I should go. But you don't need to take me. You stay at the hospital. Jane can't manage everything alone - give her a hand."
