Book Transmigration: I Wanted to Keep a Low Profile, but Everyone Noticed Me! Chapter 37: Severing Ties with Linda

Audrey had barely stood there for a while when Evans returned.

Seeing her standing outside without going in, he asked, "What are you doing here?"

Audrey glanced up at him and then casually lowered her head, saying, "There are people inside."

Evans nodded, standing a couple of steps away from her without speaking.

Not long after, Caroline and Jerry stord out of the hospital room, clearly angered.

Upon seeing Audrey and Evans, they ignored Audrey and approached Evans with smiles on their faces.

"Mr. Hill, you ca to visit Abner?" Caroline inquired.

Evans nodded and politely responded, "Mrs. Caroline."

Caroline's face stiffened. Evans' polite yet distant address, even though he was Abner's best friend, felt strange in this situation.

Could it also reflect Abner's attitude toward her?

Caroline felt a mix of emotions and couldn't stay any longer, so she left directly.

Jerry, who was behind her, didn't imdiately follow. Instead, he walked directly in front of Audrey. "Audrey, long ti no see. You look even more beautiful than before. Let's have dinner together when you have ti."

After saying that, he left with a self-assured smile on his face.

Being complinted for looking beautiful should be a cause for happiness, but Audrey felt disgusted. Jerry's gaze just now made her feel nauseated.

No woman would appreciate such uncalibrated complints. Instead, it would make them feel violated.

Violation doesn't necessarily require physical contact; sotis, inappropriate gazes can also make won uncomfortable.

As Jerry approached Audrey, Evans slightly shifted closer to her.

At that mont, Evans watched Jerry's departing figure with a clear sense of displeasure shown in his eyes.

Suppressing her discomfort, Audrey turned and headed back to the hospital room.

Evans had initially intended to say sothing, but seeing her leave abruptly, the corner of his mouth twitched. He then followed Audrey without saying a word.

After spending so more ti in the hospital room, Audrey eventually left.

After she left, Evans said to Abner, "Rest well. My eldest brother should be back in a few days. He said he'll visit you then."

Abner blinked in a brief mont of confusion, then quickly regained his composure, responding nonchalantly, "I'll be discharged soon too."

Evans advised, "Follow the doctor's advice. Focus on getting better before making any decisions. I'll leave now. I'll co see you when I have the ti."

Evans went directly to the hospital's underground parking lot. He walked faster than usual, but when he arrived, he scanned around and didn't find the person he was looking for.

He stood there in silence for a mont before driving away.

Audrey was chauffeured to the hospital in the family car. When she arrived, she asked the driver to head back first. When she ca out of the hospital, she took a cab ho.

Not long after she returned ho, she received a call from Linda.

Linda had always been well-inford. She knew that Abner was hospitalized.

She had called to ask Audrey to bring her to the hospital to see Abner, but Audrey didn't agree and directly rejected her.

Linda had been facing Audrey's rejections ti and ti again. This ti, she couldn't hold back her frustration. "Audrey, what are you thinking? Aren't we on the sa side? Help out. If I beco Abner's wife, we can join forces, and you won't need to worry about Charlotte anymore."

Audrey straightforwardly replied, "Linda, I've told you, I don't want to compete with Charlotte anymore. Right now, I just want to focus on my acting. If you genuinely like Abner, pursue him openly. Don't co to ; I can't help you."

Linda urgently said, "I do want to court him, but I can't even see Abner in person. You should know that if I go to the hospital alone, I can't even see him."

Audrey said indifferently, "That's your own business."

Linda yelled, "Audrey, you are turning your back on ."

Audrey couldn't be bothered with her anymore. "I have things to do now. I'm hanging up."

Upon saying that, Audrey quickly ended the call.

Linda stared at the disconnected call with a mixture of various emotions shown on her face.

Linda couldn't fathom why Audrey had suddenly changed. In the past, Audrey would listen to whatever she said. But now, Audrey just kept rejecting her requests.

They didn't have a strong friendship, but she had to admit that being with Audrey had brought her many benefits. She didn't even have to buy those luxury goods herself.

If she completely severed ties with Audrey, it would be an unprofitable deal. But things had already co to this point.

Linda felt so frustrated she wanted to pull her hair out.
