After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 1140

Stephanie gently chided her grandson. "Just lie back and rest, Ethan. Isabella and Harold aren't strangers."

Ethan had no choice but to settle back against the pillows. He shifted his gaze to Harold, who was setting a premium wellness hamper on the nightstand. "Just a little something from Isabella and me," Harold said.

"Are you feeling any better?"

Harold studied Ethan for a moment. "You look a bit better than the last time we visited."

During their previous visit, Ethan had just barely survived his brush with death. He had been so weak that even speaking was a struggle.

"You can see for yourself how I'm doing," Ethan replied. "I'm still not cleared for solid foods or supplements, so you really didn't need to spend the money."

Besides, the Adams family wasn't exactly hurting for luxury goods.

"Save it for when you're allowed to eat," Harold insisted. "It wasn't a big deal. If it helps you recover faster, the cost doesn't matter. Your health is the priority."

He meant every word; he genuinely wanted to see his old friend get back on his feet.

Ethan held Harold's gaze for a second before his attention drifted back to Isabella.

Taking the cue, Isabella finally handed him the bouquet she had brought.

He accepted the flowers, leaning in to catch their scent. "They smell wonderful."

"Thank you for the flowers, Isabella. It was very thoughtful of both of you."

Harold pulled up a chair, settling Isabella down next to Stephanie before taking a protective stance right beside her.

"You seem to be in much better spirits today,"

Isabella said with a gentle smile. "With a little more time and rest, you'll make a full recovery. Don't stress about anything while you're in the hospital. Let your brothers handle the business side of things."

They also had Keith, Ethan's trusted right-hand man and a pivotal figure at the Adams Group. While Ethan was incapacitated, Keith had been working seamlessly with Lawrence to keep the company running smoothly.
