BuzzNovelChapter 1206: Locke sulked, his lips pursing. "I didn't want to go home." Ernest, surprised by the admission, furrowed his brow. "And why is that?" Was Locke unhappy at home? Did he dislike living with Ernest and Nyla? Perhaps the household staff wasn't treating him well? This was a serious concern.
With a frown, Locke said, "I can't stand Miss Schultz." Brigid Schultz was his governess, tasked with overseeing his studies and ensuring he completed his homework and reading at home.
"What exactly bothers you about her?" Ernest asked, raising an eyebrow, visibly surprised.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLocke, visibly irritated, blew out his cheeks. "She keeps asking about you... It's so irritating, and I just can't stand her!" At this, Ernest fell quiet for a moment.
While Locke might be oblivious to Brigid's intentions, Ernest was all too aware.
It was clear that Brigid had developed a romantic interest in Ernest, which made her position as Locke's governess problematic.
Still, Ernest had more to discuss with his son.
Shaking his head with a smirk, Ernest said, "You ran away over something so trivial?" He reached out, affectionately patting Locke on the head.
"Remember, you call the shots around here. You don't have to put up with anyone you dislike. If you're not comfortable with someone, feel free to dismiss them." Locke's eyes widened in realization. “Is that true? I can really just dismiss someone if they bother me?" "Absolutely," Ernest said with another nod. “You're young. Next tsomething bothers you, just letknow, and I'll take care of it for you." "Okay!" Locke's face broke into a beaming smile, and he bobbed his head enthusiastically. "Understood. Thanks, Dad!" "And one more thing..." Ernest's expression turned stern. "You fled over a mere disagreement with your governess. Do you realize how much worry you caused? Your great-grandmother was extremely anxious, and Quentin scoured the city looking for you. You owe them an apology letter when we return." Don't miss out galnovalsLocke's enthusiasm waned instantly, his face drooping as he muttered, "Understood, Dad." Joy's recovery was on track. After two weeks in the sterile unit, she was transferred back to the general ward. That very day, Hadley and Eric visited her together.
In his office, Josue met with them.
As Joy's doctor, Josue couldn't hide his happiness at her recovery. "I'm delighted to report that Joy's hematopoietic system is functioning normally again. Children really do bounce back fast." "Thank you!" Overwhelmed with relief, Hadley covered her face as tears began to stream down her cheeks.
Eric, maintaining his composure, his eyes glistening, expressed his m gratitude as well. Thank you, Dr.
Duncan. We truly appreciate all your efforts." Josue nodded in understanding, replying, "You're welcome; it's part of my job."
He continued, "Even though she's back in the general ward, we must still keep a close eye on her. Shen needs to stay under observation here for another 20 days. However, if it would make you feel more comfortable, extending her hospitalization to a full month is certainly an option."
