The Affection In His Eyes
Ten days’ time flew past in the blink of an eye.
Bursting with joy, Ichika woke up early and hurried to see Grayson.
“Dr. Wallen, can my husband be discharged today?”
“Yes.”
Looking at Ichika, Grayson had a soft spot for her too.
With a wave of his pen, he wrote her a discharge sheet.
“With this, he will be allowed to leave the hospital. However, you should spend more time with him
going forward. His sickness is caused by the fact that he likes to keep all his problems to himself.
Hence, you should talk to him more and encourage him to share his problems. That way, he will
recover faster,” Grayson reminded as he had realized Ichika was the main reason Solomon’s condition
was gradually improving.
Perhaps she is the ray of light that will provide him with his salvation.
After obediently agreeing to Grayson’s request, Ichika merrily left with the discharge sheet.
“Darling, good news! You have been discharged.”
The moment the door swung open, the entire ward was flooded by her overflowing joy. It felt like the
spring after a freezing winter or a light that illuminated the darkness.
Anyone bathed by the happiness she was radiating would equally be infected by it.
Solomon had already changed. When he saw her running into the ward in delight, a smile broke out on
his face.
“In that case, let’s head over to Jetroina. Have you contacted your parents?”
“I have. I gave my mom a call the first thing I woke up. They will be waiting for us to join them for a
meal at home.”
Ichika was delighted to have heard the earlier response.
When she called home in the morning, she could sense from her mother’s tone that they were being
welcomed home. Furthermore, lunch was prepared for them. It indicated that her father and
grandfather had no issues with the idea.
With that, Ichika and Solomon began the journey to her home in high spirits.
Meanwhile, in Avenport, the ones that were supposed to join her on the trip began to grow
rambunctious.
Sasha sent a message to the group chat: Sabrina, are you ready yet? Sebastian said that he wanted to
arrange for a private plane to fly us there. Do you want to wait for Solomon?
Sabrina replied: F*ck!
Sabrina cursed in her reply.
Devin had earlier promised that he could come over to Avenport the day before. However, he was
delayed by something urgent in the army, causing everyone to be held back together.
Given that he couldn’t make it, Jonathan and Jaena naturally couldn’t go too.
Sabrina was upset that she was not able to fly in the private plane.
Sebastian texted: Tell them to wait at Oceanic Estate. We’ll pick them up from there.
Sabrina replied: What?
Devin responded: Really? You don’t have to do that.
Rufus replied: We’re all family. It’s decided then. All thanks to Sebastian’s idea.
Sasha texted: All right. We’ll leave first.
Jonathan texted: Hehe…
Jonathan beamed when he read the messages.
With that, everyone set off on their journey enthusiastically. Since it was a holiday trip, Sasha brought
Wendy along with them. After all, Wendy had served the Hayes family for many years.
As for Rufus, he, too, brought Lance along.
By the time they arrived in Jetroina, it was already evening.
Sasha: “Sebby, should we give Solomon a call and see how they are doing?”
“No. There are many of us, so it’s better that we take care of our own food and accommodation instead
of troubling them.”
After giving it some thought, Sebastian figured that it was better that way.
Rufus also agreed with Sebastian’s suggestion.
Consequently, their family booked two top floors in a five-star hotel in Terrandya.
Just when they planned to have dinner after checking in, Sebastian received a phone call.
“Hello, have you guys arrived?”
It was Solomon on the line.
Evidently, he had recovered significantly. Moreover, he actually took the initiative to call the person
whom he had once resented before.
Sebastian was pleasantly surprised.
However, he quickly regained his composure. “We have just arrived at the hotel. What is it?”
Solomon replied, “We’re at the Minamoto residence. Do you want to join us for dinner? Ichika’s family
would like to have you over when they heard you were coming, but it depends on whether you’re fine
with it.”
So, he is inviting us to have dinner at the Minamoto residence.
Sebastian never liked to dine at someone else’s home. Firstly, it wasn’t in his character to exchange
pleasantries with others.
Secondly, he didn’t like to be restricted. No matter how well his hosts accommodated him, he would still
be burdened by the need to be cordial.
Furrowing his eyebrows, Sebastian recalled how enthusiastic the two ladies were on the plane. They
seemed to look forward to having dinner at the Minamoto residence.
“All right. I’ll bring them over in a while.”
“Good. I’ll make the necessary arrangements.”
After ending the call, both men went about their schedule.
Just as expected, everyone downstairs was ecstatic when Sebastian informed them of the plan.
