Chapter 65

Robert was in a coma.

Arthur suddenly jumped up, dashed downstairs, and took a sharp turn past the second floor.

There was a loud knock on the door.

The door swung open, and there stood Ella, her wet hair clinging to her body,looking absolutely stunning.

Seeing Arthur at the door, she froze for a second. "What's going on this late?"

"Grandpa's in the hospital!"

"Tll get changed!"

Ten minutes later, they were on their way to the hospital.

Ella was worried. "Grandpa's always been so healthy, how did he end up in the hospital?"

"He got really upset!"

Arthur turned to the driver, "Step on it!"

The driver nodded and floored it, the car zooming down the road like a rocket.

Ella's heart was racing, she quickly buckled her seatbelt and glanced at Arthur's stern face beside her.

In the dim light, his face looked like it was carved from ice, sending chills

down her spine.

Feeling uneasy, she shifted in her seat, then shifted again.

In the spacious car, it felt like there was a wholegalaxy between them.

Arthur's eyes darkened, and without looking at her, he coldly said, "Sit closer!"

His tone was icy and commanding.

Ella stubbornly stayed put. "We're about to get divorced,you can't boss me around!"

"Sit closer!"

His voice was filled with irritation.

Ella ignored him and stared out the window at the passing scenery.

"You..."

Arthur grabbed her slender waist and pulled her tightly into his arms.his unique scent enveloping her.

Ella was stunned for a moment, feeling Arthur's body trembling.

Thinking about the news she saw online, she gently patted his back. "Grandpa's strong,he'll be okay!"

"Yeah."

Arthur replied, his arms tightening around her as if he wanted to merge her into his body.

The car soon screeched to a halt at the hospital entrance.

Arthur and Ella quickly ran into the ward.

Robert's face looked pale as he lay on the hospital bed. When he saw Arthur, he glared at himn with dissatisfaction, then looked at Ella with an apologetic expression.

"Ella, you've been through a lot!"

"Grandpa, don't worry. I'm fine!"

Ella stepped forward and held Robert's hand.

His hand was dry and warm, like a comforting stream flowing into her heart.

Robert smiled. "I know you're understanding. It's Arthur who can't see your worth!"

Having just woken up from a coma, he looked haggard but his spirit was strong.

He stared at Arthur with sharp eyes. "You actually invested billions of dollars just for..."

"Grandpa, it's not what you think!"

Seeing Robert finally talking to him, Arthur immediately leaned forward.

"You have to drive Ella away to be at peace!" Robert said angrily, poking Arthur's head hard.

"Grandpa, I'm not a kid anymore!"

Arthur's eyes softened as he held Ella's hand. "Besides, the fact that we came to the hospital together should prove something aboutour

relationship,right?"

"Alright, it's late, you both must be tired. Eat something and get some rest!

As soon as Robert finished speaking, the butler brought in two bowls of soup.

"This is specially prepared for you by Mr. Smith!"

The aroma of the soup instantly filled the air.

But remembering the last time she was drugged, Ella felt uneasy and instinctively wanted to refuse.

Arthur raised an eyebrow, picked up the soup, and drank it. "Grandpa.your soup is still the best!"

He glanced at Ella. "This is Grandpa's way of showing he cares."

Ella's face tightened a bit, but she picked up the bowl and slowly drank the soup.

Both bowls were soon empty.

Robert laughed heartily. "Alright, the room next door is ready, go get some rest!"

Private hospitals had large suites that included rooms for both patients and caregivers.

"Grandpa, you rest up! Call us if you need anything!”

Arthur held Ella's hand and led her out of the ward.

Robert couldn't stop smiling. "I hope this works, then I'll have a great-grandchild soon!"

The butler stepped forward to help him with the quilt. "You've put in a lot of effort for Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith. They will understand."

"You're right!"

Robert took out his computer and started browsing baby products.

The butler was speechless.

There was no need to be in such a hurry.

Next door room.

The suite was like a hotel, with everything you could need.

Ella closed the door, her expression wary, her body trembling slightly as she shrank into a corner.

Arthur's gaze darkened, his face full of dissatisfaction. "I'm not a monster!"

"I just..."

Seeing her avoiding him like the plague, Arthur took a big step forward and cornered Ella against the wall. "We haven't divorced yet, even if I ask you to fulfill your duties as my wife, it's only fair!"

"But..."

She was flustered.

Their recent interactions were more than in all their years of marriage.

Ella's face scrunched up. "We're getting divorced!"

"We haven't yet!"

Arthur turned and sat on the sofa, crossing his legs.

He irritably tugged at his tie, revealing the red marks on his body.

Ella turned her face away. "I suspect that bowI of soup..."

"Alright, stop overthinking! I've already informed the show crew,they'll find someone to guest star temporarily!"

"You..."

Once again, he acted on his own accord without telling her.

Ella stormed into the bathroom.

She had already showered before coming, but now she just wanted to avoid Arthur.

The sound of running water filled the bathroom.

Hot water washed over her body, Ella quietly felt the changes in her body.

After a while, nothing happened, maybe she was overthinking.

Ella glanced at the towel beside her, they had come in a hurry, and didn't prepare any change of clothes, so she could just wrap herself with it.

The bathroom door opened.

After the shower, Ella's hair was casually draped, her skin smooth, her slender waist, and alluring long legs.

Her unique scent filled the room.

Arthur's throat tightened, and when he looked up, his deep eyes were full of desire.

"In such a hurry?"

His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of teasing.

Ella was stunned for a moment, shaking her head. "That soup was fine.I'm all right. Let's sleep early!"

She quickly got into bed, wrapping herself tightly, only her head exposed.

Arthur's deep gaze fell on the bed.

Seeing Ella wrapped like a cocoon, her face flushed, her hair not completely dry, spread out like seaweed on the pillow, with a unique allure.

"You want to sleep now?"

Arthur was suddenly seized by a mischievous whim.

He pounced on the bed, pressing Ella tightly beneath him. "Don't play dumb. Grandpa might be agitated, but he's not bad enough to need hospitalization. He's calling us back for a reason, we can't disappoint him!"

"But we are about to..."

Before she could finish, Arthur's hand slípped under the covers,wrapping around her slender waist.

"Tonight, let's try something different."
