Chapter 656 I Will Cooperate With The Doctors (1/2)

Jean sincerely replied, ”Of course that is true. There is no doubt about that. You're the one my child will call grandpa and there's nothing to hide about that. What I wanted to say was, if you want to see your grandchild, you can't stay in the state you are right now. You'll have to...”

Even before Jean could finish her sentence, Henry got all excited and interrupted her, ”Of course I understand. Don't worry. I will cooperate with the doctors and be discharged from the hospital before my grandchild is born.”

He seemed to have become a completely different person altogether, full of life and energy, with a rush of excitement and happiness replacing the old sickly pallor on his face.

Seeing this transformation and hearing his promise, Jean smiled happily.

Though late, her forgiveness had given Henry a lot of reasons to continue with his life and he was happy now.

And it was a relief for her too, as hating a person, especially her own father, was taking a great amount of toll on her, both physically and mentally.

That was without mentioning the fact that Henry had been looking like a dying old man until just now. Truth be told, ever since she had gotten to know the truth, Jean's hatred for him could no longer be maintained.

”You don't have to thank me.” Jean looked at him and shook her head. ”For now, you rest and take care of yourself. I am going home.”

Jean finished and glanced at Zed.

He nodded to her, gently wrapped his arms around her waist, and together, they both went outside.

After they had left, it was a long time before Henry's excitement calmed down, and a lot of efforts too. For several minutes until he had calmed down, he reached out a hand and pinched himself at a lot of different places to make sure he wasn't dreaming. Finally, he leaned back and smiled contentedly.

There were tears all over his face, but he was as happy as a child who had been given an endless supply of candy.

Meanwhile, outside the hospital gate, the couple got into the car.

Sitting beside Zed, Jean let out a sigh. She looked distracted and distant for some reason.

”What's wrong, Jean?” Hearing her sigh, Zed asked with concern just as he started the car.

”If I told you that I regret having forgiven Henry for what he did, what would you tell me to do? What would be your advice?”

Jean glanced at him from the side and asked.

”How can you possibly regret that? When you
