Beyond the Divorce

After hanging up, Ivanna and I returned to Oliver's hospital room. I said, "Oliver, take good care of yourself. I'll come see you again tomorrow. I need to handle some things at home."

Oliver nodded quickly. "Go ahead. I'm fine now. You don't need to come if you're busy. Since Lauren's here, I'm sure I'll recover quickly. She takes really good care of me."

I smiled knowingly and teased, "Of course you're fine! She's very gentle, and she's the best of us!"

Lauren, who was still busy feeding Oliver, instructed, "Please see Chloe off, Alex."

"There's no need for that." I held Alex back. "We're not strangers. You guys go ahead and eat. I need to go back to Fremont Bay to see my dad. When he's discharged, your family should come to Fremont Bay, and we'll celebrate properly." Alex immediately stood up. "Okay, Chloe. I'll definitely be there!"

After exchanging pleasantries, I quickly left them and returned to my father's side.

Atlas had already arranged for a caretaker to pick up my father and Loak and take them directly to Fremont Bay.

Since it was Saturday, everyone, including the children, was at home.

Atlas must have told everyone that we were coming back. As soon as we entered Fremont Bay, the whole family came out to welcome us. The car drove to the family ward area of the annex building. We settled my father, Loak, and the medical staff there. We put my father in the annex so he could be treated there more easily.
