Chapter 24 She Would not See Him
When Carley heard Jennifer’s scream, she jumped and pushed her.
“Jennifer, What’s wrong?”
Jennifer slowly opened her eyes. Shaun and Hill were gone, except for Carley, who had a worried look on her face.
She realized that she had been having a nightmare, about the past, about someone she didn’t want to see.
She waved away the images in her mind, swallowed and noticed her dry throat, raised her hand to grab a drink, but found her arm was connected to the IV.
“You had a high fever, so I brought you to the hospital.”
Carley saw that she was confused because of her high fever. After a soft explanation, she picked up the water beside her and helped her to drink.
The water rolled down her throat so that Jennifer slowly recovered a trace of life…
“Carley…”
“Huh?”
Carley gave a gentle reply, pulled her sweaty hair back from her forehead, put it behind her ear, and asked softly, “Are you hungry?”
Jennifer shook her head. “Did the Doctor say anything to you?”
About her heart failure, and before she could figure out how to talk to Carley, she suddenly fell ill and was brought to the hospital. She was afraid that Carley knew everything already.
“The doctor didn’t say anything. When he saw that you were in a coma with a high fever, he gave you an IV drip first. Your blood was drawn. The report should be out by now.”
Carley got up to get the report. “I’ll get it now.”
Jennifer grabbed her. “Carley, I’m a little hungry. Can you get me something to eat first?”
Carley nodded. “Give me a minute, and I’ll get you some oatmeal.”
As she left with her bag, Jennifer struggled to her feet. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
She pushed the IV and went to the report machine and took out the report.
She had heart failure that could be detected by a blood test.
She didn’t want Carley to see it. She was afraid that she would be sad. She also didn’t want her to face her death.
They grew up with each other, they relied on each other.
If Carley knew she was going to die, she wouldn’t be able to take it.
Jennifer shredded the report and threw it in the trash so Carley couldn’t see it.
She turned around and wanted to push the IV back to the ward, but saw a dozen luxury cars suddenly drive in from outside the emergency room.
A group of bodyguards in black suits emerged from the vehicle. A dozen men escorted Shaun out of the vehicle.
He hurried to the hospital with Ginny in his arms.
Her heart sank when she saw his worried look.
She remembered coming to the emergency room with him for a heart
attack.
What was his reaction?
Jennifer remembered him standing by the bed, looking down at her, who was curled up in pain.
As if seeing a beggar, scornfully, he threw her a card.
He felt that she was only pretending to be ill to gain his sympathy, so she could ask for more money.
Jennifer thought of this and suddenly curved her lips into a smile, tears filled her eyes as she laughed.
No matter how sad and upset she felt, she held it in and turned around stiffly.
He said never to appear before him, and she will!
For the rest of her life, she and Shaun, even if they ever met, would not see him.
The footsteps behind her, coming towards her closer and closer, each step was on her heart, making her feel pain all over.
Shaun brushed past her without looking at her, just as she had expected.
He held no feelings towards her, he had no regard for their past relationship, not to mention that there was no love between them.
Jennifer held her chin up, stubbornly, stopping her tears from falling. He was just a man who dumped her, no big deal.
