My Mute Bride

My Mute Bride Chapter 35

In the headquarters of the Burton Group, there was incense with the scent of tea leaves burning. The refreshing scent had set a good tone for people to focus.

Though Justin wasn’t old, he was rather old-fashioned. He did things in a minimal manner, and he always had a stoic expression. Perhaps that was why he was in charge

of the company at such a young age. Moreover, he was well-respected by everyone there,

“Mr. Burton, the East Pearl Project is almost finalized. These are the latest updates.”

“Alright.” He took over the documents and flipped through them as he leaned against the couch. At this moment, he casually asked, “How are things at the hospital?”

At once, Frankie answered, “The operation went smoothly. Mrs. Burton has been taking care of her grandma on her own, and she’s recovering well and will be discharged in a week. Besides that, Mrs. Burton has been looking around for houses.”

“She’s looking for houses?”

“Most probably it’s for her grandma to stay after she gets discharged,” he explained. “Initially, Mrs. Burton has been staying with her grandma in the Hudson Residence. However, now that Mrs. Burton’s married, her grandma probably doesn’t want to continue staying there since they aren’t related.”

His words were carefully chosen as the truth was actually harsher. Based on Rachel’s position in the Hudson Family, her grandma would probably not live comfortably there.

Hearing that, Justin remained quiet for a moment before saying, “Regarding the house, arrange it for them privately.”

Snapping out of a trance, Frankie answered, “Okay.”

Wasn’t Mr. Burton uninterested in Mrs. Burton’s condition? His attitude toward her changes every day…

On the other hand, Rachel had kept her grandma company at the hospital for a few days. Seeing that she seemed to be covering well as she regained her energy, Rachel felt relieved.

Early in the morning, Julian did his rounds and came to check for any post-op infections. After that, the hospital had arranged a single ward for Nancy which was much quieter than before.

“Your grandma’s recovering well. If this goes on, she may be able to get discharged earlier than expected,” Julian said with a smile as he tucked his stethoscope into the pocket of his white coat.

“Thank you for everything these past few days, Dr. Peters.” Although Nancy’s head was bandaged, she didn’t look like a patient at all. She was very energetic as she held Julian’s hand, giving him a look of adoration.
