Chapter 134
Nash stood by the door. He was never someone who could tolerate noise, especially near his father-in-law’s sickbed. Upon hearing his arrival, the mother and daughter stopped crying, turning their attention to Nash.
Nina looked up, somewhat taken aback to see Nash. She hadn’t informed him about this. “Why are you here?” she asked.
Nash met her gaze and responded, “The hospital director called me to inform that Dad was sick, so I rushed over from the company.”
“Dad, Mom,” he greeted them first, noticing Zion with a cast on his hand, then inquired, “How is it?”
Nina explained, “He had a fracture in his hand bone and needs a few days of rest.”
Observing the crowded and noisy environment, Nash frowned and remarked, “It’s too noisy in here, disturbing Dad’s rest. I’ll arrange for him to be moved to the VIP ward.”
“No need for that, I’m not that delicate. Nash, don’t trouble yourself,” Zion declined.
Though not entirely satisfied with Nash, Zion appreciated Nash’s concern and couldn’t fault him. He pressed his lips together and continued, “It’s just a minor fracture and you all came. This won’t do. Just go back now. Having your mom here is enough for me.”
“We know what to do,” Nina reassured him. “It won’t hold things up.”
While Nash desired the best environment for him, he respected Zion’s wishes, “Dad, with so many people here, is it really okay?”
“It’s fine. There are elderly folks here. Having a companion to chat with, is better than being alone,” Zion replied.
Nash understood and didn’t push further.
Listening to all this, Lily felt something was off. Zion only had a daughter, when did he get a son?
Seeing the man personally taking care of Zion and being so gentle with Nina, addressing Zion as ‘Dad’, made her wonder. Could he be their son-in-law?
Lily stood up again and asked, “Nina, who’s this gentleman beside you? Is he your husband?”
She was already certain of their close relationship and said with a smile, “You got married, why didn’t you tell us? You’re my dear niece. Don’t you deserve a generous gift from me?”
Then she turned to Zion and Julia, “You two aren’t being considerate enough. Nina got married, and you didn’t even inform us.”
Nash had little interaction with the relatives of the Walker family. He only spent time with his in-laws a few times a year, but whenever he learned they were in need, he would help them out. As for their other relatives, he had even less contact with them.
When Nina noticed Lily suddenly becoming so attentive, she knew she was trying to curry favor again. But now that Nash had referred to Zion as “Dad,” there was no way to conceal the truth anymore. So she had to introduce, “Nash, this is my aunt, and this is my cousin.”
“I’m her aunt, Lily,” Lily smiled.
“Hi Nash, I’m Sue,” Sue, meeting Nash for the first time.
Nash remained polite towards the Walker family, nodding in acknowledgment.
Sue glanced at him, a sense of familiarity washing over her. Then, with sudden realization, she exclaimed excitedly, “Ah, I get it now! You’re Nina’s boss, the CEO of the York Corporation.”
Her eyes sparkled with excitement. “Nina, you’ve married into a wealthy family! Why didn’t you inform us? This is cause for celebration!”
Lily observed that his attire and demeanor set him apart from ordinary people. Evidently, he was wealthy. No wonder Nina had changed after starting her job. Marrying into wealth would naturally bring about changes. Why hadn’t she realized it earlier?
“So, he’s part of our family,” Lily smiled warmly. “This is our first meeting, and we didn’t bring anything. How rude of us.”
This sudden change in attitude left the entire Walker family speechless.
