Chapter 140 Too Unqualified
Grant steadied himself and said, "Looks like she's been drinking."noveldrama
"What?" The doctor's voice shot up when he heard Chloe had been drinking.
He glanced at the still-unconscious Chloe, directing the nurse to change her IV while giving Grant a piece of his mind.
"How are you even her husband? She drank alcohol-why didn't you tell us beforehand? It's a good thing I was cautious with the dosage; otherwise, something truly serious could have happened today.
And you, as her husband, are you even qualified? Did you upset her? Is that why she went drinking?
With women, you just need to appease them. Look at the mess you've made."
The doctor, without any explanation, berated Grant harshly, leaving him quite bewildered. However, Grant, who usually had a bad temper, was unusually calm. He thought he might have a masochistic tendency-it seemed that he found the doctor's scolding quite pleasant today.
After the medical team's efforts, Chloe finally regained consciousness.
As she opened her eyes, she saw several incredibly handsome faces gathered around her.
First was Grant.
Then Michael.
Next was Liam.
And finally, the ever-comical Harry.
Upon seeing Chloe finally awaken, her gaze with a hint of confusion, several people around simultaneously stirred into action, each grabbing their prepared food and eagerly crowding around her.
Michael was the first to approach the bedside, a wide smile on his face as he said, "Chloe, you're finally awake! I had the servants prepare oatmeal porridge specifically for you. It's great for your stomach and will help with your recovery. Please have some." With that, he carefully offered a steaming bowl of oatmeal porridge to Chloe. Liam chimed in, "Forget the oatmeal, it's not nutritious. I made you some chicken soup, it tastes great."
Grant normally didn't bother using such simple, trivial things to attract Chloe's attention, but Louis's words struck him like a thunderclap." As the head of the Martin group, he had no choice but to try to please Chloe.
He cleared his throat and spoke with an unusual touch of warmth in his voice. "In my opinion, both the oatmeal and chicken soup can't work. Your stomach is still sensitive; you should start with some glucose water." With that, Grant offered a cup of glucose water to Chloe.
Having drunk alcohol and with a lingering fever, Chloe's throat felt like it was on fire. Nothing seemed more appealing than the glucose water.
She nodded at Grant.
Grant moved to her side, carefully supporting her back to help her sit up, then slowly fed her the glucose water.
After a sip, Chloe felt a bit better.
Seeing the Martin brothers looking at her as if she were a precious gem made Chloe's scalp tingle.
Instinctively, she reached to check if the mole on her face was still there. Finding it intact, she let out a sigh of relief.
What was wrong with the Martin brothers?
Why were they staring at her like that?
Were they crazy?
Before Chloe could figure it out, the Martin brothers started organizing a schedule.

Michael spoke first, "Chloe, you're quite sick this time. The doctor said you need to stay in the hospital for a few days. Grant, Liam, and I discussed it, and we'll take turns taking care of you while you're here."
Grant's on duty today, I'll be here tomorrow, and Liam the day after.
Now that you're awake, we'll leave and let Grant take care of you."
With the schedule set, Michael and Liam left.
The room was now just Grant, Chloe, and the ever-distracted Harry, glued to his phone. The air was filled with a sense of awkwardness, with each person harboring their own thoughts and emotions.
The previously bustling and lively hospital room quieted down significantly as Michael and Liam left. Noticing the change, Grant didn't want to miss this rare chance to be alone with Chloe. He decided to seize the opportunity and asked Harry to leave as well. "Harry, don't you have things to do? Didn't you say you were leaving?"
Despite Grant's clear hint, Harry didn't catch on.
He looked puzzled and said, "I did say that, but now I'm free. Grant, about that investment I mentioned, have you thought it over?"
Hearing Harry talk about investments, Grant's face turned cold. "No."
Seeing Grant's firm refusal, Harry was frustrated.
He had to pitch his idea again, "Grant, I really think this project has potential... The renewable energy sector is the future.
Just invest three hundred million dollars, and I guarantee it'll turn into three billion in a year. Grant..."
Grant wasn't swayed by Harry. While he had a positive outlook on the new energy project, his main concern was that Harry seemed somewhat unreliable.

They were cousins; if Harry were dependable, Grant would have funded the project.
Tired of the conversation, Grant picked up a small towel and headed to the bathroom to get water for Chloe.
Watching Grant leave, Harry muttered, "If you don't invest in my project, I'll keep pestering you until you do."
"It's just three hundred million dollars, not much..."Harry grumbled a bit more before sitting back on the hospital room's couch.
When the two of them discussed these projects, they didn't hide anything from Chloe. Grant probably didn't catch the details of Harry's project, but Chloe understood it perfectly well.
Having grown up in a business family, Chloe had a keen sense of business matters. She knew clearly that if Harry's project were to succeed, it would be an unstoppable force. Turning three hundred million into three billion? That was a deal too good to pass up. Thinking this, Chloe looked at Harry with newfound respect.
If Grant wouldn't invest in Harry, she would. She motioned for Harry to come over. "Harry, come here."
Surprised, Harry muttered, "What do you want, Chloe? Are you thirsty? Hungry?"
In Harry's mind, Chloe was just a spoiled rich girl. The Martin-Davis marriage was the
Davis family's way of securing a good match for her.
Otherwise, with her looks, could she match any of the Martin brothers?
"Harry, I'm interested in your renewable energy project..." Chloe lowered her voice.
Hearing Chloe talk business, Harry's disdainful look turned to her.
"Chloe, don't joke around. You don't understand business. Even if you're interested, can you get me three hundred million dollars?"
What do you think?
