Chapter 1031 Grandpas Serious Illness (Part one) (1/2)

Carla looked in the direction Carol was pointing to.

The morning sunshine was dazzling in the hallway. Steven was leaning against the wall, in front of the window. The bright beam of light bounced off his face as his eyes stared at a distance, lost in thought.

”Why are you here?”

Carla asked as she walked towards him.

Steven turned to look at her. His usual sweet smile graced his lips. ”I have an important work at Yu Sea City, so I need to go home now. You stay back here until everything is settled.”

”What? Do you still want to go back to Yu Sea City after everything that has happened?”

Carla asked. Her eyes widened with shock.

”Callie, I remember everything that I've promised you and I always keep up my promises.” He smiled. ”Moreover, Yu Sea City needs me now. Who will help you out if I don't go there?”

Steven smiled apologetically.

Carla was already going through a lot and he didn't want to pressure her. He wanted to be there for her and lessen her burdens.

”Steven. You... ”

Carla wanted to ask him to leave, to stop helping her. She wanted to thank him for all his favors but she bit her lip and swallowed the words.

”Callie, do you really want me to leave?”

Steven had guessed what Carla was thinking and smiled bitterly.

”I'll go back to Yu Sea City and check on Sir Arthur. I just want to see how he is doing. Don't worry. I won't stay longer than I need to. I will leave after that.” Carla nodded.

”Callie, take good car
