He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 439: 439: The First Time I Felt Heartache for the Young Lady

If a patient’s family member couldn’t make it, Dr. Jenkins would help care for them, even reminding the nurses to pay extra attention. Many patients in the ward like her. I wish I had several granddaughters like her!”

Mrs. Jenkins laughed awkwardly, but didn’t refute it. She really recognized that Olivia was deeply respected by everyone.

Spending time together recently, Mrs. Jenkins also sensed this young girl wasn’t bad-hearted; she could just have a sharp tongue at times.

If Olivia wasn’t provoked, there would be no expectation of malice; in fact, everyone got along rather harmoniously.

Olivia worked tirelessly for the Jenkins Group. She must be exhausted.

Mrs. Jenkins had been following the news; this young girl indeed had a hard life. She always had to stay alert and deal with all sorts of underhanded tactics.

In addition to managing the business and ensuring the stable development of the group, minimizing losses wasn’t as simple as childish play. It required bold abilities which not everyone possessed.

Mrs. Jenkins had realized that Olivia was more suited to manage and lead the Jenkins Group than Hannah. Hannah was still naive about the cunning business world, and could easily fall into traps.

Hannah also wouldn’t be able to control the old cunning foxes in the Jenkins Group.

If Hannah took over the Jenkins Group, it would be a big problem whether she could even keep it stable, let alone turn losses into profits. Mrs. Jenkins finally faced the reality and acknowledged Olivia’s talents.

At 5:15 pm, Olivia arrived, accompanying the grandparents from Time Garden to take Mrs. Jenkins for a gastroscope.

Afraid of accidents befalling her, or not waking up from the procedure, Mrs. Jenkins unexpectedly said to Olivia, “I’m sorry!” just before the procedure.

Olivia never dreamed that her grandmother would apologize to her.

Unconsciously, her nose tingled and tears gathered quietly in her eyes.

Mrs. Jenkins held Olivia’s hand, looking earnestly at her. Afraid that Olivia might not hear her, she raised her voice and said, “I’m sorry, not only to you but also to your father. It’s all my fault that the family has become like this. You’ve had it tough.”

Olivia bit her lower lip; her eyes were already moist.

Olivia also held grandma’s hand, reassuring her, “The gastroscope procedure will be quick and painless. Grandpa, the grandparents, and I will be waiting for you outside.”

Seeing Olivia’s red eyes, Mrs. Jenkins felt sorry for her for the first time in her life. It was clear how much mistreatment this young girl had experienced and how heartbreaking it must have been for her.

In her age of wisdom, it was time for Mrs. Jenkins to cherish her. She should trust Olivia.

If so many people thought well of Olivia, then she must be a good person. Mrs. Jenkins realized she had been unfairly prejudiced against Olivia. She had let her subjectivity cloud her judgement and had never recognized Olivia’s virtues.

Recently, Mrs. Jenkins had the opportunity to understand herself better. She had let go of her past grievances and was fortunate to have made friends who shared her interests.

Everyone comforted her, patiently cared for her, and stayed with her. Mrs. Jenkins really felt contented. She decided to stop causing trouble and to let go of her resentment.

Mrs. Jenkins wasn’t allowed to eat anything after the gastroscopy. She needed to wait until the anesthesia wore off before she could have a liquid diet.

As it was getting late, Olivia thanked all the grandparents, arranged transportation to safely send them home, and gave them several presents.

At 8:00 pm, Daniel showed up in Mrs. Jenkins’s ward with two thermos bottles.
