CHAPTER 105: CHAPTER 105: TRUSTED BY OTHERS

Lan Yancy was telling the truth, because August and September were when interns flooded out of schools, and the positions were already filled.

"This person is Eleanor’s friend."

Hugo Quinn’s voice was calm, but carried an undeniable tone.

Upon hearing that it was Miss Hollis’s friend, Lan Yancy immediately understood the situation and quickly spoke, "Actually, we are short one person, I’ll arrange it right away."

"Alright."

Hugo Quinn’s gaze returned to the documents in front of him, his lips curved slightly.

The feeling of being trusted was truly wonderful, he liked the feeling of Eleanor Hollis trusting him.

Just as he was immersed in his own thoughts, the phone in front of him rang again, he picked it up and saw it was a call from the old residence.

"Mr. Quinn, Old Master Quinn is very ill, Miss Hollis came to the hospital today and said some harsh words, and now Old Master Quinn has fallen into a coma again."

If it weren’t for the sound on the phone, Hugo Quinn would have thought he heard wrong, what harsh words could Eleanor Hollis possibly say in front of the old master?

That woman was kind to a fault, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been bullied by Grace Lynch for so many years.

"What did she say?"

The butler hesitated a bit, but still spoke slowly.

"Miss Hollis said she wants to use you to fight Old Master Quinn, to create internal conflict."

Hugo Quinn tightened his grip on the phone, his eyes turning gloomy, "Are you sure?"

"I heard it with my own ears, I was also shocked at the time, Mr. Quinn, you should come and check on the old master."

"Alright, I’ll come over later."

After hanging up the phone, Hugo Quinn sat in the chair without speaking.

The butler had been with Hugo for many years and would not say something like this to deceive him, it seemed that Eleanor had really said those things.

He thought of Gloria Galloway about to enter Grandeur and instinctively felt this matter might be related to Eleanor going to the hospital.

In the afternoon, he still went to the hospital to visit the old master, no matter how disappointed he was, after all, he was family.

Moreover, he had been cherished by the old master since childhood, never having suffered, the old master had always been very good to him.

So both emotionally and logically, he ought to visit.

There were still flowers in the trash can beside the ward, looking like they weren’t bought today.

"What’s with these flowers?"

The butler stood silently to the side, "Miss Hollis threw them out."

Hugo Quinn asked no further questions, having lived with Eleanor for quite a while, he understood her character well.

She wouldn’t cause trouble at the hospital for no reason, the old master must have done something to cross her line.

He sat for a while and noticed the old master slowly opening his eyes, and upon seeing him, trembled with excitement.

"You must sever ties with that Eleanor Hollis immediately, I absolutely do not allow anything to happen between you two, otherwise even in death I will not rest in peace!!"

The old master had been so authoritarian for years, this was the first time he had been angered to this extent.

And it was caused by a woman who wouldn’t harm a fly!

Hugo said nothing, taking the porridge from the side and placing it in front of the old master.

"Dad, have something to eat first."

The old master knew he couldn’t act rashly, otherwise, he’d fall into Eleanor Hollis’s trap, if he grew more distant from this son, it would only make Eleanor more triumphant.

He slowly picked up a spoon, fed himself a bite of porridge, and then spoke earnestly.

"Hugo, I’ve been reassured by you from childhood till now, and I trust you greatly, but this time, you cannot act on impulse, do you have any idea how many eyes are watching our Quinton Family? If this scandal gets out, the Quinton Family would be ruined, a single person’s spit could drown us."

Hugo’s eyes flickered, sitting without speaking.

The old master stopped there, knowing saying too much could be irritating.

After finishing the porridge, his face was full of fatigue, "I can’t let the Quinton Family become a subject of idle gossip in my hands, Hugo, do you understand me?"

"Dad, I understand."

As for the rest, Hugo said nothing more, but the old master was already very satisfied, knowing there would be time in the future to gradually indoctrinate him.

"Did Eleanor come to the hospital to cause trouble today?"

Hugo glanced at the flowers in the trash can, it was hard to imagine what could make such a usually calm woman become so frantic.

The old master’s face instantly darkened, "She’s getting more and more out of hand, with you backing her, she dares to say anything."

Hugo pursed his lips, finally rising slowly, taking his coat, "I’ll leave now, I’ll come see you another day."

The old master had the butler see him to the elevator, while he sat on the bed, eyes fixed on the flowers in the trash can.

Soon, the butler returned.

"Old Cameron, in Hugo’s heart, who do you think is more important, me or Eleanor?"

One is family, the other a woman he likes, in the end, who will he choose?

The butler spoke without hesitation, "Old Master, naturally it’s you, you’ve lived with Mr. Quinn for so many years and raised him, Miss Hollis hasn’t been by his side that long, now Mr. Quinn merely likes her, it can’t be called love."

Old Master Quinn smiled contentedly, though this method was rather underhanded, compared to the Quinton Family’s reputation, nothing else mattered.

"If anything happens to me because of Eleanor, will Hugo be angry?"

The butler shivered and said nothing.

The hospital soon quieted down, Old Master Quinn drank some porridge and fell asleep.

At this time, Hugo had also returned to the apartment, and as soon as he opened the door, he was greeted by the fragrance of food, his heart softened.

It was starting to feel more like home.

"Daddy, you’re back."

Marcus was watching anime, holding a fruit platter that Eleanor had prepared for him.

Hugo originally had a belly full of questions, but upon seeing the scene at home, he swallowed all his questions.

"What are you cooking?"

He followed the aroma to the kitchen, where he saw Eleanor Hollis with an apron on, stirring something in a pot with a spatula.

"Cola chicken wings, it’s my first time trying this, not sure if it’ll turn out well."

Hugo instinctively embraced her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder, "Looks great."

Eleanor’s eyes flickered, "Did you go work overtime today?"

"Yes, I was handling some previous contracts with Lan Yancy."

Hugo wrapped his arms around her, feeling unexpectedly good.

Eleanor figured he likely knew about her hospital visit, but since he didn’t ask, she wouldn’t proactively explain either.

Tonight, she tried two new dishes, and when they were served, Marcus immediately came over to sit.

"Isn’t it time for Marcus to go to school?"

At this age, he should be going to elementary school, he couldn’t stay cooped up at home every day.

Upon hearing about school, a hint of resistance appeared in Marcus’s eyes, but since Eleanor suggested it, he said nothing despite feeling a bit wronged, silently agreeing.
