Chapter 65 Scumbag
Imogen’s vision had almost recovered, so there was no need for her to stay in the hospital
anymore.
Early the next day, after having breakfast, Imogen went to complete the discharge procedures and called a driver to bring her belongings home. Then she went to the ward to visit Henry.
Henry’s ward was quiet.
Henry sat on the bed while Layla sat on the sofa, both looking away from each other, refusing to make eye contact.
As soon as Imogen entered, she sensed that something was off.
“Grandpa, Grandma,” Imogen looked at the two of them and asked, “Have you had breakfast?”
“Yes, we have.”
“We have.”
The two answered in unison.
“What’s going on…? Are you having an argument?” Imogen asked.
“It’s not a fight. It’s your grandpa throwing a tantrum here,” Layla glanced at Henry and said. Imogen looked at Henry and asked, “Grandpa, what did you do to upset Grandma?”
“I didn’t do anything to upset her…” Henry muttered under his breath, looking guilty. “Then what happened?”
Layla said with a sneer, “Imogen, why don’t you be the judge? He wants to go home even before he’s fully recovered. Isn’t he deliberately trying to provoke me?”
Henry looked helplessly and said, “Staying in the hospital is no different from staying at home. It’s better to go home.”
Henry didn’t like being in the hospital. He had mentioned this a few days ago.
Imogen persuaded, “Grandpa, you haven’t recovered yet, so why don’t you stay in the hospital for a few more days?”
“I know my own body. I’m already fine, so why stay in the hospital?” Henry declared with a determined expression.
“Grandpa, it’s not up to you to decide. We have to ask the doctor,” Imogen said.
“No need to ask. I know it myself,” Henry insisted firmly.
“Grandpa…”
“What are you talking about?”
Troy, dressed in a suit, walked in from outside, carrying a neatly packed bag in his hand.
“Why aren’t you at the company?” Henry frowned and glanced at Troy.
“I came to visit you first. I’ll go company later,” Troy said.
Saying that, Troy approached and placed the paper bag on the table, giving Imogen a glance. “I was afraid you hadn’t eaten breakfast, so I brought some snacks along.”
Layla and Imogen were both sitting on the sofa, yet Troy went straight to Imogen, placing the food in front of her. Layla saw through his act but didn’t expose him, saying, “Your grandpa and I have already eaten. Imogen, you eat.”

“I had breakfast early.”
“Then just have a little more.”
Imogen didn’t know what to say.
Imogen took out several packages from the bag, including sandwiches, salads, and various snacks.
“Grandpa, would you like some?” Imogen asked.
“No, thanks. Troy, Imogen, I’m fine. You don’t have to keep coming to me all the time. You’re not doctors, so what’s the point of coming here every day?” Henry sighed with frustration.
Troy looked at Imogen, puzzled.
Imogen explained, “Grandpa wants to be discharged and go home.”
Thinking that Troy would take Layla and Imogen’s side, Henry didn’t give Troy a chance to speak, and he said, “Troy, there’s no need for you to convince me. I know my own body better than anyone else. It’s not as serious as all of you think. Living in the hospital is uncomfortable, with so many restrictions on what you can do. I don’t like here.”
Troy lowered his gaze, thought for a moment, and said, “Grandpa, it’s not a small matter. Why don’t I go ask Mr. Brooks? If he agrees, then you can go home.”
Henry wasn’t sure if Willard would agree, and if he didn’t give the green light, his insistence would be futile. However, there was nothing else he could do, so he waved his hand and said, “Go ahead.”
Troy turned and walked out of the ward, heading toward Willard’s office.
Troy was aware that Henry’s health condition was not promising. Despite wanting him to continue treatment at the hospital, Troy also understood that Henry would feel bored and stifled by staying there indefinitely.
After briefly telling Willard the situation, Willard said, “To be honest, your grandpa’s current condition is difficult to reverse. It’s better to respect the patient’s wishes and let him go home for recuperation. Being in a good mood can also help with the treatment. I’ll give you a list of the necessary medications and equipment, and I’ll have my assistant check on Henry’s condition at the Marshall villa every day.”
“Alright.”
Troy came out of Willard’s office and went toward the ward.
At the corner, he came across two doctors in white coats who were engaged in conversation.
“Ex–husband? So they really were together?” The doctor on the left asked.
“I guess so. They probably divorced recently.” The doctor on the right gave a knowing look.
The hospital staff were all aware that Henry, one of the hospital shareholders, had been hospitalized in the ward, and Troy, the president of Marshall Group, often visited him.
Troy had recently been involved in scandals. Reporters were camping outside the hospital entrance, and some even tried to sneak into the VIP ward area. The hospital issued a notice specifically to its employees and security personnel for that.
The doctor on the right side recognized Imogen, the patient he had treated a few days ago, entering Henry’s ward, and realized that she was the “third party” mentioned in the news. However, Imogen had instructed him not to let her ex–husband know about her pregnancy.

At that time, he thought Imogen’s ex–husband must have been a scumbag, but he never expected it to be Troy.
So it seemed like the female celebrity was the mistress, and considering that news of her affair with Troy had just emerged, it likely played a significant role in Troy and Imogen’s divorce. “How do you know they were married?” The doctor on the left asked.
The doctor on the right was about to answer when he saw Troy approaching. He quickly greeted him with a serious expression, “Mr. Marshall.”
“Mr. Marshall,” the doctor on the left also called out.
Troy lightly nodded as he passed by them.
Then he heard a faint voice of the doctor on the right saying, “Ms. Forbes told me herself. She told me on the day she was Hospitalized that Mr. Marshall is her ex–husband.”
Troy paused for a moment and continued walking forward.
When Troy went back, Henry asked quickly, “What did Willard say?”
Layla and Imogen were also looking at Troy, waiting for his answer.
Troy said, “Mr. Brooks said Grandpa can be discharged and go home for recuperation.”
Upon hearing this, Henry felt confident and glanced at Layla and Imogen, saying, “See, I told you my health is fine. I’m feeling good! You guys worry too much.”
Layla and Imogen exchanged a helpless glance.
“Can I go home now?” Henry asked.
Troy shook his head and said, “Not yet. Grandpa, you can only go home after I have all the medications and equipment listed by Mr. Brooks.”
Henry’s face turned gloomy as he said, “How long will that take?”
“Don’t worry, Grandpa. It’ll just take one or two days. You just need to stay in the hospital for a few days.”
“Fine.” Henry pouted and reluctantly agreed.
However, knowing that he could go home in a couple of days, Henry felt particularly relieved. He looked at Imogen and Troy, waved his hand, and said, “You two don’t need to stay here anymore. Go and do your job.”
Troy didn’t say anything and looked at Imogen.
Imogen stood up and said, “Okay, Grandpa, Grandma, I’ll come to see you again tomorrow.”
“Okay, go ahead,” Henry said.
After Imogen turned to leave, Troy trailed behind her, and they exited the ward together, side by side. “Alfred told me you’re being discharged?” Troy asked, walking alongside her.
“Yes.”
“How are your eyes now? Can you see clearly?”
“It’s mostly recovered. I had another check–up this morning, and I can be discharged now.”
Troy nodded slightly and asked, “Where are you going now? I’ll drive you.”
“Let’s just go straight to the company.”
“Don’t you want to rest for a couple more days?”

“I’ve already wasted enough time.”
With the McKesson promotional date approaching, her department had become busy. Imogen’s phone had been ringing non–stop these days.
As they were talking, Imogen and Troy arrived at the garage together.
