Wooing My Ex-Wife

Chapter 584 No Room For Negotiation

It was major news that Valentino had regained consciousness.

Without looking back, Cedrick left the ancestral hall with Nico at once and walked toward the master bedroom where his grandfather was.

As Yael also wanted to see Valentino, he quickly helped Xander up from the ground. However, Xander had been shot in the thigh and was unable to move at all.

Still trembling in pain, he said, “Dad, Cedrick is too ruthless. Not only did he set me up, but he even shot me so mercilessly. It hurts so much that it’s impossible for me to walk at all. Dad, take me back now. I need to get my wound treated.”

Yael let out a sigh and said astutely, “We can’t do that. Your injury is our best weapon. We have to let your grandpa see it.”

Xander immediately understood what his father meant. He gritted his teeth and headed up the stairs with Yael’s support.

Meanwhile, except for Kieran, who had been summoned by Gwendolyn to return to Mount Tranquil to accompany Inez, the entire Jenson family’s medical corps was stationed in the master bedroom.

Cedrick could hear his grandfather coughing when he was a few steps away from the door.

He immediately hastened his steps and sat at Valentino’s bedside. “Grandpa, how are you feeling? Is your head aching? Are you still feeling dizzy?”

Listlessly, Valentino replied, “I’m feeling much better. Cedrick, don’t worry. I’m old. It’s inevitable that I will fall sick and eventually die.”

“Grandpa, stop uttering nonsense. A blessed man like you will surely live a long life. You have to watch Benny and Zendy grow up.

The mention of his darling great–grandchildren made Valentino’s eyes light up. Being a part of their growing–up journey would indeed bring him great joy.

The two men continued chatting for a while until Yael and Xander appeared, disrupting the harmonious atmosphere in the room.
