The Returning Ex

The Returning Ex Chapter 1091

Logan repeatedly imagined everything that would be taking place that day and all the sudden occurrences that might transpire. His utmost concern lay in his reaction and response then. After contemplating for half the night, he finally lost the battle with his drowsiness during the wee hours and dozed off groggily.

Early the next morning, he received a call from Lorraine who said that Old Mr. Jefferson suffered a sudden ailment during the wee hours and had been sent to the hospital that night itself. He was now out of the woods, so she asked Logan to come over and visit him. All at once, chagrin gripped him, and he chastised her on the phone, demanding to know why she was only now telling him this when she should’ve called him over last night.

At this, Lorraine sighed. “Dad forbade us from notifying you. He felt that it wasn’t a major problem, so it wasn’t necessary to call you over late at night. You know you’ve always been his favorite, Logan.”

Pursing his lips, Logan went silent. On the other end, Lorraine again heaved a sigh. “Just wash up quickly and come over earlier.”

Scrambling out of bed, Logan washed up and changed before speeding to the hospital. Old Mr. Jefferson was indeed laid up in the ward, his countenance a touch pale. Lydia was there with a servant to take care of him.

At the sight of him, Lydia hurriedly beckoned to him. “Hurry up and come over, Logan. Dad has been talking about you nonstop, so I’m glad you’re finally here!”

Hurrying over, Logan sat on the edge of his father’s hospital bed and took his hand. “Dad, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling better? Why didn’t you notify me last night? I almost had a heart attack when I learned of this today.”

The old man chuckled. “I’m fine, I’m fine. I don’t think it’s my time yet, so I probably have a few more years to go. I still want to hold my grandchild in the future.”

Logan’s lips compressed into a thin line, his expression dimming.

At the side, Lydia chimed in, “Let’s not talk about a grandchild first. He has a girlfriend now. Why don’t you bring your girlfriend over sometime for Dad to have a look first, Logan?” As she said this, she even patted him on the arm. “Did you hear me? Bring your girlfriend over someday to visit Dad.”

Old Mr. Jefferson looked at Logan with an expectant gaze. Having no other recourse, Logan could only nod in the end. “I’ll bring her over when I get the chance.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

At present, Old Mr. Jefferson’s condition was stable. After Logan had been keeping him company for a while, he said that he was sleepy, so he asked them to go about their own business. However, Logan tarried, only leaving the hospital when his father had fallen into a slumber.

On his way back to the clubhouse, he wavered about giving Jasmine a call and asking her to make some time so that he could take her to visit his father. However, when he’d phoned her and she asked him what the matter was after answering the call, he couldn’t bring himself to say it. Instead, he merely asked her whether she wanted to have lunch together.

Sighing, Jasmine said that she had a meeting at noon, so she might not be able to eat out. She then said that she was planning to just make do with the school cafeteria. Logan wasn’t at all disappointed at this, for he merely grunted and said, “Never mind, then. I’ll ask someone else out for lunch.”

After hanging up the phone with her, he pondered for a moment before giving Lola a call.

Lola didn’t answer his call, finding him utterly irritating. He wasn’t even this irritating when he kept finding trouble with me!

When she didn’t answer after he’d called twice, Logan’s temper spiked. I’ve never met anyone who spurns me so much!
