One Night Surprise

One Night Surprise Chapter 460

Chapter 460 Generational Relic

For a long time, Courtney sat there chatting with Scott, telling him about her volunteer work on the battlefield and her study tour experience during these past five years. For his sake, she left out most of the dangerous bits and embellished most of the interesting ones.

As evening approached, a nurse came around with dinner.

“Oh—is it dinner time already? It’s so late.” Courtney glanced down at her watch before letting out an embarrassed chuckle. “I’m so talkative these days.”

Placing the meal on the mobile hospital table, the nurse pushed it up to the bed before asking with familiarity, “Did you know each other previously, Dr. Hunter and Mr. Duncan?”

Before Courtney could speak, Scott nodded. “We’ve known each other for a long time. She was nearly my granddaughter-in-law.”

“Granddaughter-in-law?” The nurse pepped up instantly. “Really?”

“Of course I am.” Scott sounded somewhat lamenting as he muttered, “What would be the point in joking with you about this?”

With a thrilled look on her face, the nurse dashed off after leaving him with his meal, no doubt about to gossip with her coworkers.

Although Courtney was somewhat exasperated, now was hardly the time to be chasing after random nurses to offer unneeded explanations. Ultimately, Scott was telling the truth, so she simply decided to leave matters be. “Go on and eat, then. Hospital food is very ordinary.” She passed a fork and a spoon to him as she teased, “It will taste worse once it’s cold, and then you’ll have even more of an excuse not to eat.”

Sheepishly, Scott admitted, “I’m so old I don’t care much about what I eat. I just don’t wish to remain in the hospital.”

“Well, you have to see a doctor when you’re sick. No one would send you to a hospital if you were healthy, would they?”

“This illness of mine is the same no matter where I have it. They only had to prescribe me some medication to take at home; why throw a fuss about it?”

“It’s not a good habit to try and act brave in front of your doctor.” Courtney then pushed a bowl of soup up to him. “Have some soup to moisten your throat.”

Scott nodded and commented, “You haven’t eaten yet, though. You should
