Chapter 156 Hospital party
After a week of the surgery, Jonathan was discharged after he was given a series of instructions.
Jonathan thought it was unnecessary as he was staying in the hospital until Nathaniel was discharged.
Even so, he was quite happy to see Liliana noting everything seriously.
The doctors took Nathaniel’s vitals and left after they had reiterated the instructions.
The kids crowded around Li who was happy to be transferred into the general ward and out of HDU.
Jonathan took this chance to close the door and bring Liliana to the lounge outside.
“Lil, Li is going to find out what happened,” Jonathan said, frowning at the thought.
Li was smart enough to know what was going on and he could not be able to take it calmly.
Jonathan wanted to resolve this as soon as possible but did not want to butt into Liliana’s plans either. So, he could only talk to her and discuss things.
“You are right. Let me call Alice and have her handle it,” She called Alice and asked her to clarify her stance.
Jonathan then called Vincent and asked him to coordinate with Alice and delete everything negative about Liliana from the internet after two days.
Vincent confirmed that it would be done in the next half an hour and hung up.
“Did you have everything planned already?” Jonathan asked his wife curiously.
“Yes, pretty much. My PR team works 24×7 and handles everything as soon as they crop up. I told them to pause and hold for these because we can use this to show why we had to be separated for so many years. It would have come up after our marriage was announced and we needed an explanation on why we were separated and why we acted like we were just work-partners earlier.”
Liliana explained as she sent some instructions to Alice via text.
“You are so thoughtful. You even have to compromise to make up for my shortcomings.” Jonathan lamented.
“That’s not true. We could have been a family seven years ago, and you would not have lost out so much on your children’s childhood if only I had prioritized us. I did not know that.” She explained.
Jonathan grimaced at that. She did not blame him and that made him feel guiltier.
“Nathan, we agreed to not dwell on the past. I love you and you love me. We both want to make this work. Let’s not count and track things. We will both lose that way.”
Liliana held his face and kissed him on the lips gently as she voiced her stance on their matter.
“If this is how you convince me, wife, I would agree to everything you say.”
Jonathan murmured on her lips making her laugh as he held the back of her head and kissed her softly letting her feel all his emotions.
They broke apart as they heard the knock on the door.
Mariana’s parents had been discharged and she had come to the hospital to stay the night.
Henry and Jennifer had a quiet day as they joined them.
James was also present, still acting like Mariana’s boyfriend.
Vincent and Alice showed up later in the evening bringing gifts for the children.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Liam and Eric were the last to arrive to join in their hospital party.
They all chatted with the kids and checked on Li first before they moved their party to the lounge.
Li fell asleep after his dinner and Jo and Kyle slept on the adjacent bed.
Li was happy that his mother was no longer as worried as she used to be.
Having a father had his usage after all. For the first time in all his stays in the hospital, Nathaniel slept with a big grin on his face without any worries.
Liliana and Jonathan had come to check on them and Liliana kissed Jonathan and said, “Thank you! This grin on his face came from the security that you provided.”
“That’s what I should do as their father and your husband. Thank you for teaching our kids well. I love you so much.”
Jonathan confessed. They tucked in the kids and left.
In the lounge of the ward, the adults were having fun drinking and teasing each other.
