Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Don’t Push Him Too Far
"It’s okay, I’m about to become Marcus’s wife, and I’ll also need to call Uncle Grant ’dad’. For the sake of your health, this is what I should do."
The hypocrisy in these smiles and words made her want to vomit.
Upon hearing her words, Matthew Sullivan’s eyes were filled with affection.
Harrison Grant’s smile deepened because of her words.
"Alright, then I won’t refuse. I originally called Marcus back to have the hospital supply the blood, so as not to trouble you. But seeing your devotion, your father would be proud of you."
When her father was mentioned, Evelyn Clayton’s fake smile froze for a moment, and she collected her demeanor.
The Grant Family’s private doctor came to take her for a blood draw, and Evelyn Clayton followed.
The same needle pierced into her vein.
Her cold brows furrowed slightly as she watched the bright red blood being drawn.
Surprisingly, they stopped after just one bag this time.
Evelyn Clayton was puzzled, "No more?"
"That’s enough, Miss Clayton."
The doctor took the things away, but happened to encounter James Grant, who had brought a foreign doctor with him.
His eagle-like eyes swept over the smaller amount of blood than usual, coldly questioning, "What, has Director Grant’s health recovered so quickly that it’s not needed anymore?"
The private doctor was visibly flustered for a moment, hastily using the excuse of improved condition to walk away.
James Grant didn’t care, and quickly walked over to Evelyn Clayton.
Seeing her slender fingers pressing on the spot with a cotton swab where the blood was drawn, he held her hand.
His brows were tinged with coldness, his tone tense: "Why did you come, how are you?"
He originally intended to bring the doctor to inspect Harrison Grant’s illness, but unexpectedly, Evelyn Clayton came on her own.
Evelyn Clayton softened her voice, retracting her hand.
"I’m fine, don’t worry, don’t let anyone see us."
This is the Grant Family, with spies everywhere, getting caught couldn’t be explained.
"I’m going to find Harrison Grant, you should rest."
"I’ll go with you."
She stood up proactively, determination in her eyes.
James Grant’s thin lips tightened; he glanced at her without speaking.
Then he turned and took the foreign doctor to Harrison Grant’s bedroom.
Evelyn Clayton followed behind.
In the private sickroom, as Harrison Grant was getting dressed, James Grant directly barged in with the foreign doctor.
"What are you doing?"
Upon seeing those doctors, Harrison Grant’s expression immediately darkened.
"Checkup!"
James Grant ordered coldly, his face expressionless.
The foreign doctor was about to proceed, but Harrison Grant’s face immediately showed anger: "Get out! Who let you call someone to check randomly!"
Harrison Grant was extremely resistant, and the doctor dared not act rashly.
Meanwhile, James Grant’s face remained cold and terrifying, his deep, dark eyes showed no emotion.
"Everyone out! I want to rest."
Harrison Grant responded strongly.
Seeing this, Evelyn Clayton gently tugged on James Grant’s tense hand and whispered, "Let’s go, don’t provoke him."
The person beside her remained quiet, tension persisted.
A few minutes later, a very low yet intensely oppressive voice came.
"Go."
With a command, James Grant turned and walked out, and Evelyn Clayton quickly followed.
As soon as they came out, they encountered Matthew Sullivan.
Seeing the two of them coming out together, Matthew Sullivan was clearly displeased and was about to speak up to question them.
Fearing he’d say something he shouldn’t and further provoke James Grant, who was on the verge of rage, Evelyn Clayton quickly held her forehead, squinting her phoenix eyes slightly, putting on a weak appearance.
"I’m heading back first, please look after Uncle Grant, he’s not in a good mood."
After speaking, Evelyn Clayton bypassed James Grant and left the Grant Family.
Once she stepped out the Grant Family’s gates, she took out her phone and sent a message to James Grant, asking him to meet her at the apartment.
She then hailed a cab and returned to the apartment.
