âYou can now be discharged today, Mr. Barson.â
+5 Pearls
Jorge was inside the hospital ward, preparing to leave. The doctor and nurse had discussed earlier that he could now be discharged as he was already doing fine. He could continue to rest at home if needed, but it was most likely not required.
The cracking sound of the door distracted Jorgeâs attention. With his gaze fixed on the door, it slowly opened, and he saw that it was not the doctor or the nurse but only his daughter.
âDad!â Olivia exclaimed, running in his direction.
She was bringing a bouquet, but his attention wasnât focused there, but only on her presence.
âYouâre here! Jorge replied, also wrapping his hands around her.
Right after they embraced each other, Olivia moved back, âOf course, Dad! I am here to pick you up. Youâre now getting discharged!â
It was crystal clear how joyous Olivia was.
âOh, I see. I didnât know youâd come this early, Jorge retorted.
âWell, I also want to help you up, Olivia said, referring to the things that had been brought there for Jorge.
However, despite seeing Olivia alone, without Suelen, his wife, with her, Jorge didnât bother to ask or mention her. What mattered was for him to go back, and he was already fine..
âDad, also,â Olivia said, clearing her throat and adding, âCan we at least visit Mom at the police station? I want you to know Momâs current situation. Sheâs also been worried about you.â
When Jorge was about to get his bag on the table, he suddenly paused, turned to see her, and gave her a cold look. As much as he wanted her to be mentioned again, his daughter still told him about it
âWhat did you just say?!â Jorge questioned, having a cold demeanor.
âI meant visiting mom⦠Olivia clarified. âSheâs very pitiful there. She canât even sleep at night thinking about you here in the hospital. To make her calmâ¦Please let us visit her. It could be this afternoonâ¦
Given what transpired, visiting Suelen at the police station didnât cross his mind. He didnât even plan to do so. Only Olivia dared utter it to him.
âNo! Why would I?â Jorge roared, his voice echoing around the room, âIf you want to visit her, then go.â
That stunned Olivia. As soon as it sank into her mind what Jorge aimed to tell, she shook her head and didnât want him to surrender.
âDad, please⦠Olivia explained once more, persuading him to come. âIf you prefer visiting him alone, thenâ¦.â
âDidnât you hear what I told you?!â Jorge yelled with anger accumulated within him. âLeave!â
âDadâ

Upon hearing that, Oliviaâs eyes widened in astonishment. Her body trembled in fear; quite didnât expect her father to yell at her.
Olivia paused, losing the courage to argue with him. However, she didnât run away and remained standing.
On the other hand, the wildflowers she had brought fell on the ground.
Jorge realized Olivia had been bringing flowers, and he had not even seen it when she arrived.
As soon as Olivia came back to her senses and saw her fatherâs eyes fixed on the flower, she sighed and said. âYou know what? Mom bought this for you, only for you.
Olivia lowered her gaze and silently sobbed.
Jorge sighed and hesitated but still asked, âHow is she? Where is she now? Tell me
In the Fisher Mansionâ¦..
John had been too kind to Elisa. He loved her as his granddaughter, and Elisa could feel the warmth and affection showered on her. She felt so special, so Elisa had thought of anything that could repay Johnâs kindness.
When Elisa caught a glimpse of John reading a lot of documents, as if checking mountains of files, she approached and asked, âCan I help you, Grandpa?â
âNo need. I am just checking each document. I know Joffrey will assist me later,â said John and focused his attention on the documents.
âLet me do it, Grandpa,â Elisa insisted.
At first, John still didnât want him to do it, but Elisa kept insisting on John. John could do nothing but let Elisa check the documents.
At that time, Joffrey was also a bit busy with other things, so Elisa had the opportunity to help her grandfather.
âItâs all done now, Grandpa,â Elisa said, placing the last file on the table. âTve reviewed all the files, and I think itâs fine now.â
âElisa, you are amazing. You have done a great job,â John complimented and stood, staring at her. Thank you so much, Elisa!â
âNah, I am just returning all the kindness you have done to me, Grandpa,â Elisa replied and smiled at him. âIs there anything I can assist you with?â
John waved his hand and said, âI am fine. You need to rest first. Iâll just visit Robert in his room for a while. Do you want to come with me?â
Elisa refused. She only went downstairs to look at what else she could do.
Meanwhile, John went towards Robertâs room. He knocked twice and pushed open the door even though

he hadnât heard Robert tell him to come.
As soon as John went inside, he wandered his gaze around and happened to see Robert sitting in his wheelchair, staring coldly at him.
âYouâre staring at me as if youâre furious,â John began and smirked. âAre you doing okay here?â
Robert didnât respond and moved his gaze to the window.
John observed his cold demeanor and added, âWandering why I am here? Well, I just want to tell you that Elisa and I went shopping. I have bought a lot of things she needed.â
âWhat?!â Robert asked, puzzled about why John had to do it
âWell, donât blame Elisa. It is me who has bought her, not her who forced me, John explained, aware of what he was thinking at that moment.
Robert sneered, âWhat do you still expect from that woman? I know what sheâs here for.â
A lot of scenes came to Robertâs wife, and she thought Elisa was only the same as a gold digger. She chos to be with him despite his situation because she wanted his money.
âThatâs too basic. Why canât Grandpa understand it? Robert thought, shaking his head.
In the kitchen, Elisa wore an apron and held a spatula. She had decided to cook a meal for Robert. She had already asked the maid what foods Robert wanted to eat, so she cooked it with the help of the maids, too.
âPlease, can you tell me how this tastes?â Elisa asked the maids, which made them come forward.
âHmm. Itâs already fine. Iâm pretty sure Robert loves this,â a maid said.
Elisa smiled and couldnât wait for Robertâs reaction later. After minutes of cooking, she was done. She served it on the table, and Robert, at that time, was also assisted in coming downstairs.
âRobert, Elisa called his attention with excitement. âIâve cooked food for you. I hope youâll like it.â
With that, Robert paused, turning his head in her direction, and even smelled the delicious foods she had cooked for him.
âNah, I donât want it. Let them eat it,â Robert declined.
Elisa was somewhat disheartened. âButâ¦â
However, Robert had already left, so Elisa only sighed.
