Chapter 2673
Stanley's feeble appearance made Nolan and Lana feel sad. They pouted. "It's all because of us that you're like
that."
"Hey, don't worry. As long as you guys are safe, I'm content. My injuries will heal soon," Stanley comforted.
Nicole returned from paying the bills and saw Stanley's frail condition. So she gently took the kids away and
suggested, ” Uncle Stanley needs some rest. We'll go home first."
"Who's going to take care of Uncle Stanley, then?" Lana asked worriedly.
"Tia will stay here." Nicole gently ruffled her daughter's hair.
"Oh." Lana looked at Tia, feeling it was best if she stayed back to take care of Stanley.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTia nodded her head in response. "Don't worry, Nicole. I'll take good care of him."
Stanley took care of Tia when she fell sick last time. Tia would not turn a blind eye now that he was sick.
"Alright then. We'll get going to update the family, just in case everyone gets worried. We'll be here tomorrow
morning," Nicole explained. After making the arrangements, Nicole and the others left, leaving Tia alone with
Stanley.
"Well, S-Stanley, the doctor said you need to rest properly. Ease your mind and just relax. I'll be right here, so holler
when you need me," Tia said. She then pulled a chair closer
to the bedside and sat there to accompany Stanley.
Stanley chuckled at the sight of Tia all geared up. He suggested, "Why don't you buy something to eat?"
Tia came to the hospital right after picking the kids up. It had been quite chaotic, and Stanley assumed Tia might be
starving.
Tia did not read into the question and thought he was hungry. So she agreed. "My bad, I'm sure you're hungry. I'll go
get some food now."
After bringing dinner back, Stanley told Tia, "I'm not hungry. You should eat up."
"Huh? The food is for me?" Tia asked in confusion. "I can't finish this."
Tia did not feel hungry at all after the incident.
"You still need to eat. Join me for dinner," Stanley advised.
Tia thought Stanley wanted to eat, so she set a small table with their dinner and sat across from him.
Stanley felt satisfied after seeing Tia willing to eat. The two people started eating dinner in silence.
Although no one talked, the atmosphere was not awkward, as they both had some things on their minds.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStanley was so happy deep down that Tia had started calling him 'Stanley' like a friend. He no longer had to appear
before her with the 'young master' label, and he felt their relationship slowly developing.
Tia too, was eating absentmindedly. She was thinking about the moments when Stanley protected her and the kids.
At that moment, Tia tried her best to shield the kids in her arms. However, the thugs grew agitated, and one of
them swung a wooden bat at them. It was Stanley who protected her and took the hit. Tia figured it was painful.
Subconsciously, Tia looked at Stanley to find his eyes on her. Her face instantly blushed, and she quickly shifted her
gaze.
Stanley smirked and continued eating.
Tia breathed a sigh of relief in secret after sensing Stanley had shifted his focus away from her.
Meanwhile, Nicole and Jared were back at their home with the kids.
"How's Stanley?" Gloria asked anxiously after seeing that the family was back.
