Chapter 291 

On the third night, after attending a dinner with suppliers, Gilbert felt off as he left the dining hall. Shadows danced before his eyes, and his body swayed on if about to collapse. 

“Mr. Gilbert Charles rushed to his nido, hin voice filled with concern. “We can’t delay any longer! There’s nothing pressing now; let’s get you to a hospital, shall we?” 

“Okay.” 

Gilbert didn’t argue. With the supplier issue resolved and his responsibilities at home. squared away, he allowed Charles to support film to the car, feeling increasingly unsteady and his throat burning like he’d swallowed hot coals. 

At the hospital. 

“Mr. Gilbert, just wait here a moment; I’ll go check in.”  Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Alright.” 

Gilbert waited for Charles in the lobby’s seating area. Luckily, he was usually pretty healthy and started feeling a bit better after resting for a while. 

To the left of the lobby was a playroom. 

Its walls were made of clear glass, allowing Gilbert to see inside from where he sat. 

Since it was evening, the room was sparsely populated, with just a few kids inside.

“Girls are so fragler 

Their laughter filled the room 

Jenna stood still, her large eyes brimming with tears.

Gibert walked straight to the boy holding the marker, extending his hand. “Please give me 

He smiled gently. “If you’d rather not, we can go to the nurse’s station together. It’s late; shouldn’t you be in bea?” 

The children, all in hospital gowns, feared being reported to the nurses. 

Here! 

The boy tossed the marker, which Gilbert caught smoothly. 

“Off you go!” 

The kids exchanged looks and scattered, leaving the playroom. 

Gilbert, now holding the marker, turned to Jenna. “Here you go…”
