Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145 Keeping Miles in the Dark of Rose’s Rescue 

“Alright.” 

It took a while, but Rose responded to Jonathan as if making a promise. The lights in the ICU were still on. Jonathan inquired about the situation and called a renowned doctor from Harmony Hospital. 

After medical treatment, Oliver regained consciousness. He was transferred to the ICU, and Rose went to complete the admission formalities. Soon after, Miles arrived. 

Inside the ward, Jonathan looked at the figure on the bed. He immediately recognized who it was. He hadn’t expected Oliver to visit Aquastead. 

What’s more, he hadn’t anticipated that the person Rose had talked about, the one who shared a birthday cake with her to celebrate their daughter’s birthday, was none other than Oliver. 

“Grandpa…” 

Miles entered the room in haste and saw the person on the bed with their eyes closed. He called out softly several times but received no response. 

It wasn’t until he confirmed that all the instruments in the vicinity displayed normal status that he started to relax slightly. He then noticed Jonathan in the ward and couldn’t help but be a little surprised. 

“Jonathan? What are you doing here?” 

Facing Jonathan, Miles instinctively remained on guard. 

The Finches and the Youngs were both prominent families in Regalia, with a web of intricate relationships and a complex history. 

It was a complex relationship, more like frenemies than friends and not quite enemies. In that moment, Miles‘ mind raced through countless possibilities. 

They were both shrewd individuals. In the instant Miles cast his gaze, Jonathan already understood what was on his mind. 

“Oliver suddenly fell ill,” Jonathan stated. “If you don’t believe me, you can ask the doctor or wait until he wakes up and inquire directly.” 

With that, he left the ward without further explanation. Miles didn’t follow him. Right now, his grandfather’s health was the top priority. 

Miles promptly got in touch with the specialist in charge of his grandfather’s condition at Regalia. He requested the specialist to rush to Aquastead overnight. 

Meanwhile, Jonathan found Rose in the hospital lobby. Rose had the payment receipt in her hand when her star escort husband suddenly grabbed her wrist. 

Without saying a word, he pulled her out of the hospital 

“Wait, wait…” 

Rose held him back with a firm grip. 

“The elderly gentleman hasn’t woken up yet. Isn’t it a bi improper to leave like this?!

Jonathan furrowed his brows. 

“What? Aren’t you afraid he’ll wake up and try to extort you?” 

Extort her? 

“Don’t make baseless accusations. That elderly gentleman is kind, he doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would extort someone.” 

Rose’s tone conveyed confidence. 

She gave her star escort husband an eye that carried a hint of disdain, as if to suggest, “Judging a gentleman by the standards of a scoundrel“. 

“No, you go if you have something to do. I’ll wait a bit longer. I want to make sure he wakes up and contacts his family. 

Only this way could she feel at ease. She wasn’t one to easily sympathize. Yet, there was something inside her that couldn’t bear to leave the elderly gentleman alone in the hospital. 

Rose freed herself from the grip of her star escort husband and turned to head back to the ward. But just as she took a couple of steps, her star escort husband grabbed her by the collar from behind. 

“Ah…” 

Rose was pulled back. Her clothes were disheveled, and she furrowed her brows, glaring at him. 

“What are you doing?” 

Jonathan took her hand again and walked briskly towards the exit. 

He said nonchalantly as he walked, “The elderly gentleman’s family has arrived. You can rest assured and go home with me.” 

Oliver wouldn’t extort Rose, but Miles might. Rose and Jonathan returned to Zenwood Gardens. Miles stayed at the hospital throughout the night. 

The next day, when Oliver woke up, he opened his eyes and instinctively called out, “Rietta.” 

That was Henrietta’s nickname. Yesterday was Aunt Henrietta’s birthday. Miles believed that his grandfather fell ill due to his deep longing for Aunt Henrietta. 

“Grandpa, would you like something to eat? I’ll go prepare it for you,” Miles asked with concern. 

Oliver didn’t respond but looked at his hand. His gaze roamed around the room. Then he glanced towards the door as if searching for someone or waiting for someone. 

“Grandpa, what are you looking for?” Miles asked.
