Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Invisible Millionaire In the afternoon, some colleagues were organizing a visit to the hospital to see East Hayes. Scarlett Adler realized that East Hayes wasn't at the office today. ་་་་་་་ Knowing that East Hayes was having a bone marrow transplant for his sister, everyone contributed some money to buy gifts. However, the hospital was too far from the office, and no one had time after work, so they chose a few representatives to go. Besides Ethan Underwood and Brent Carter, there didn't seem to be many others. "Ms. Adler, let's go together after work. The hospital isn't far from your house, and it's on the way," Ethan Underwood said. "No, thanks. East Hayes doesn't like me. If I go, I'm afraid I'll be an eyesore. Just take some fruit for him," Scarlett Adler replied. "Alright then," they said, not pressing the issue. After work, Scarlett Adler left directly. At the hospital, Scarlett Adler appeared in Mr. Hayes's hospital room with a bouquet of flowers and some fruit. As soon as Mr. Hayes saw Scarlett Adler, he perked up instantly. "Scarlett, you came! You didn't have to bring anything." "It's just some fruit, nothing too expensive," Scarlett Adler said. "Come, come, have a seat," Mr. Hodges said, looking much better. "How are you feeling? Are you doing better?" Scarlett Adler asked. "Do I look like something's wrong? I'm perfectly fine, but that stubborn Hugo won't let me leave the hospital," the old man said, sounding both annoyed and helpless when he mentioned Hugo Hodges. Scarlett Adler smiled. "No matter what, your health is the most important thing. Wait until the doctor says you can leave." "Scarlett, I have a question I want to ask you. Tell me the truth," Mr. Hodges suddenly asked, sounding mysterious. "Go ahead," Scarlett Adler replied. "What has your grandfather been doing so secretively lately? He's always taking calls behind my back. Do you think... he's seeing someone?" Mr. Hodges asked, lowering his voice. Um... "If he is seeing someone, tell me. It's not like I wouldn't support him. He's always hiding things. Does he think I'll laugh at him?" Mr. Hodges guessed. Scarlett Adler couldn't help but laugh. "What are you laughing at? Tell me, am I right?" Mr. Hodges asked, wearing a detective-like expression. "No, Grandpa Hodges," Scarlett Adler said. "Nothing?" "No, really, nothing." "Then what's he doing?" "Well..." Scarlett Adler knew, but she couldn't tell the truth. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Maybe he's just busy with something. I'm not really sure." Grandpa Hearst was puzzled. "That's not like him. Knowing that old man, he wouldn't act like this if nothing was wrong..." Indeed, after so many years of knowing someone, you could sense even the slightest change. "Scarlett." "Yes?" "How's Old Adler's health?" Grandpa Hearst asked. "He's doing great," Scarlett Adler replied. "Are you sure?" "Grandpa gets a full check-up twice a year, and I've seen all the results. He's doing fine," Scarlett Adler assured him. Grandpa Hearst was relieved. "If he doesn't have a sweetheart and his health is fine, then what could he be hiding from me?" Scarlett Adler couldn't bear to keep deceiving the old man, so she said, "Alright, Grandpa Hearst, you should focus on your own health. I heard Grandpa say that you're not as strong as he is." "Nonsense," Grandpa Hearst retorted. "I'm much stronger than him. The only reason he's doing so well is that he has an obedient granddaughter. If he had a disobedient grandson, he'd be as sick as I am from all the aggravation." "Alright, alright, no matter what, your health comes first." "Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I still want to go head-to-head with Old Adler for another twenty years." Scarlett was relieved to hear that. Just then, the door opened, and Hugo Hodges and Tiana Young walked in. Seeing them, Mr. Reed's smile instantly disappeared. Clearly, they hadn't expected Scarlett to be there either. However, Tiana remained composed and walked up with a smile. "Mr. Reed, I bought you some supplements. How are you feeling? Any better?" Menu < Chapter 32 Invisible Millionaire "Thank you for your concern. I'm fine," Mr. Reed replied with a hint of distance in his tone. Tiana awkwardly placed the supplements aside, unsure of what to say. The atmosphere was undeniably strange. At that moment, Scarlett wisely spoke up, "Grandpa Reed, it's getting late, so I'll be going now. Please get some rest." Hearing this, Mr. Reed immediately said, "Then, when I get out of the hospital, you and Old Adler come over for dinner." Scarlett agreed with a smile, "Okay." Then, under Hugo's gaze, Scarlett left without even acknowledging him, as if the two of them were strangers. After Scarlett Adler left, Mr. Herbert returned to his listless state and lay back down on the bed. "Sigh, I'm so bored here." Just as Scarlett Adler came out of the hospital room and was about to head back, she ran into Ethan Underwood and Brent Carter in the hallway. "Ms. Adler?" Ethan Underwood approached her. "Didn't you say you weren't coming?" "..." "You said you were coming, but you still made us bring things for you," Brent Carter said, directly handing her the items she had asked them to bring. "You should deliver them yourself." "I think I'll pass," Scarlett Adler said. "I know East Hayes wasn't very nice to you before, but he's just a straightforward guy. He felt guilty afterward and apologized. Don't take it to heart," Ethan Underwood said.
