I followed him inside and began the duties I could safely perform. Throughout the morning, I tried to avoid unnecessary movement and took care not to put pressure on my injured leg. Harrison had several appointments, and I assisted with the arrangements that did not require me to drive. At one point, he asked me to sit down while he reviewed some documents. "You look exhausted," he said. "I

THE GRANDFATHER I NEVER KNEW
ADRIAN’S POINT OF VIEW The hospital room was quiet. I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the small bandage on my arm where the doctors had drawn my blood. My injured leg rested beneath the white bedsheet, and every movement reminded me of the pain I had endured the previous night. I had been beaten, humiliated, and abandoned by the woman I loved. I had lost the gift I had worked so hard to buy her. I had spent days worrying about money, trying to keep my job, and struggling to survive. And now, after everything, the elderly man I had saved had brought me to another hospital room and asked the doctors to draw my blood. Why? I looked toward the door. The last time I had seen the old man, he had looked at me with an expression I couldn't understand. His bodyguard had stood beside him, speaking quietly to the doctors. Then someone had approached me and said they needed a blood sample. I had ag

ADRIAN'S POINT OF VIEW — LATER THAT MORNINGI was still lying in the hospital bed when I heard voices outside the room.I had cried until I was exhausted, and now I was staring at the ceiling, trying to gather my thoughts.My leg hurt.My body hurt.And my heart felt as though it had been crushed.I kept remembering Vanessa's face when she told me she no longer wanted me.I kept remembering how she had poured the drink over me and allowed the guards to drag me away.I couldn't understand how someone I loved so deeply could treat me that way.A knock sounded at the door.I turned my head.The doctor entered, followed by an older man and another man in a dark suit.The older man looked directly at me.I didn't recognize him.He stepped closer to the bed, studying my face with an expression I couldn't understand.The doctor spoke first."Adrian, this is Mr. Richard Blackwood. He is the elderly man you brought to the hospit

"I'll ask the hospital staff for his information."I nodded.Then another thought crossed my mind."Did the doctor say anything else about him?"Michael seemed to remember something."He said the young man was called Adrian."I went still."Adrian?""Yes, sir."I repeated the name quietly.For years, I had lived with the pain of losing my daughter and the uncertainty surrounding the child she had left behind.My daughter had been my only child.When she died, a part of my world had died with her.Her son had disappeared, and despite everything I had done to find him, I had never received the answers I needed.I had spent years wondering whether he was alive, whether he had grown up safely, and whether he had ever known anything about his family.Now I was lying in a hospital bed, hearing that a young man named Adrian had saved my life.I didn't want to jump to conclusions.A name alone meant nothing.Still, I fe

"We're assessing your injuries. A passerby found you unconscious and brought you here." I looked around the room. "Who was the person ?" "We don't know his name. He explained that he found you collapsed near the road and brought you in for treatment." I tried to sit up, but the doctor raised his hand. "Please, don't move too quickly. You have injuries that need careful assessment." I lay back. Then I suddenly remembered the shopping bags. "The bag!" The doctor frowned. "What bag?" "The things I was carrying. There was a handbag, a dress, and a cake. Where are they?"

I came to thank you."I tried to sit up a little, but the doctor immediately reminded me to remain comfortable.Richard moved closer."Please, don't get up. I only wanted to see you and thank you personally for what you did for me."I looked at him."I'm glad you're feeling better, sir."He studied me quietly."I was told that you paid for my treatme
