"Ah? Oh, okay!"
Jude Winslow suddenly snapped back to reality and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.
Previously, his nerves were intensely strained, but now as the hot water flushed his fingers and the sll of blood pierced his nostrils, Jude Winslow felt a physiological nausea. However, when he thought it was Eleanor’s blood, he couldn’t open his mouth.
"You..." Jude Winslow was about to speak as he exited the bathroom but was stopped by a look from Julian Jacobs.
Julian Jacobs reminded, "Keep it down."
Jude Winslow sized up Julian Jacobs and praised, "Eleanor has good taste."
Having a pretty boy that’s not only good-looking but also knows how to take care of people, and seems to have quite a presence... he looks smart too, probably a brainiac just like Eleanor!
Julian Jacobs had little interest in Jude Winslow until he said this, then gave him a proper look.
Julian Jacobs asked, "Between Adrian Grant and , who would you choose?"
"Huh?" Jude Winslow stared wide-eyed in shock, waving his hands frantically, "Even though I don’t discriminate against Gays, I’m not Gay!"
Julian Jacobs: "..."
Julian Jacobs quickly lost the desire to speak further with Jude Winslow.
This person is too stupid!
At that mont, Jude Winslow’s phone rang.
It was Adrian Grant calling.
"Go outside to answer the call, I’ll take care of Eleanor," Julian Jacobs instructed Jude Winslow clearly.
Jude Winslow glanced at the sleeping Eleanor and walked out of the ward.
Answering the call sneakily: "Hello!"
"Where’s Eleanor?" Adrian Grant asked imdiately.
He originally called Eleanor, but when he couldn’t get through, he had to resort to contacting Jude Winslow instead.
Jude Winslow scratched his head, "She’s asleep."
Adrian Grant was puzzled, "At The Winslow Family house?"
Eleanor disliked The Winslow Family. Even if she visited, she wouldn’t stay overnight no matter how late it was.
"No, we’re at the hospital."
...
"Adrian?"
Mia Winslow called out nervously when she saw Adrian Grant suddenly stand up to leave.
"Adrian, where are you going?"
She almost instinctively stood up with Adrian Grant, frightening the doctor beside her, who quickly restrained her.
"Miss Winslow, your hand is severely injured, you mustn’t move! We’ll be doing an MRI soon!"
"Adrian, you want to go see Eleanor, right?" She could guess after he asked about Eleanor during the call.
She forced a smile, "Adrian, I’m so scared, my hand... I can’t feel at ease without you by my side. Please don’t leave, okay?"
Mia Winslow began to cry as she spoke.
"Adrian, Mia’s hand is the pressing matter at hand, Eleanor won’t be in any major trouble." Yvonne Vance chid in from the side.
"Yes, my dear son-in-law, take a rest here for a while," Eugene Winslow added.
He wanted more ti with Adrian Grant, hoping for a chance to discuss business later.
Eleanor was also at the hospital, but one person said Eleanor would be fine, and the other wanted him to rest here.
Adrian Grant glanced indifferently at the three Winslows before finally looking at Eugene Winslow, "Aren’t her parents here with her?"
While Eleanor had nothing.
Mia Winslow sensed Adrian Grant’s implied ssage, and her expression grew slightly grim.
Amid the doctor’s examination, her previously numb hand suddenly burst into severe pain, causing her to scream: "Ah—!"
"Be gentle, please!" Yvonne quickly told the doctor, "My poor daughter, injured by her own sister like this!"
Adrian Grant’s gaze towards Yvonne was sowhat cold.
Mia Winslow knew well enough that Eleanor’s standing in Adrian Grant’s heart was different now, she couldn’t just wait passively!
Mia Winslow said, "Adrian, at ho today, our parents all saw Eleanor push , but she wouldn’t admit it. Look at my hand now. If you leave, Eleanor might claim our parents were biased, exaggerating my injury!"
Adrian Grant was concerned for her injury because Eleanor hard her, right? If Adrian Grant left at this mont, he couldn’t personally verify her condition, could he rest easy?
Back then, she deliberately pushed Eleanor into the shards, and her mother shoved her too, so Eleanor’s external injuries must be more serious!
Mia Winslow wanted Adrian Grant to be unable to leave, choosing her without knowing the truth!
She wanted Adrian Grant to break Eleanor’s heart!
Soone as proud as Eleanor would never accept Adrian Grant again!
Adrian Grant looked deeply at Mia Winslow, his gaze seed to see through her little sches, yet with a hint of obscure mockery.
"You’re right," Adrian Grant said.
Mia Winslow breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak when she saw Adrian Grant call Charles Rhodes: "Co to the hospital imdiately."
Charles Rhodes was his trusted aide and quick-witted, having him watch over things was fitting.
To prevent The Winslow Family from pulling any tricks!
Mia Winslow’s smile froze on her face, "Adrian..."
Adrian Grant didn’t reply, he tried calling Eleanor again but still couldn’t get through.
Adrian Grant’s anxiety grew, recalling Eleanor’s cold and resolute tone when she called him two hours ago.
She said she wanted to see him...
Since the ntion of divorce, she never took the initiative to say she wanted to see him.
And this ti, he personally rejected her.
Mia Winslow, seeing how indifferent he was to her, felt tears welling up in her eyes.
Yvonne understood her daughter’s thoughts and said to Adrian Grant, "Adrian, why not let Charles go see Eleanor while you stay with Mia? That would be convenient, no? Besides, Mia’s situation is clearly more crucial!"
"Are you trying to teach how to do my job?" Adrian Grant looked at Yvonne with an extrely cold gaze that sent a chill down one’s spine.
Yvonne shivered all over, "No, no, I just..."
"As won, they don’t understand, you’re Eleanor’s husband, you should go see her!" Eugene Winslow noticed Adrian Grant’s impatience and quickly apologized with a smile.
He suddenly rembered sothing and cautiously asked, "My dear son-in-law, I heard you and Eleanor were talking about divorce, how are things now..."
Adrian Grant lowered his brow without saying anything, but his displeasure was palpable.
Eugene Winslow was montarily stunned and then bead with satisfaction.
Adrian Grant’s attitude ant he cared about Eleanor, didn’t it? It seed the divorce wasn’t happening, which was good news!
Charles Rhodes arrived quickly.
In the past two years, he frequently helped Adrian Grant watch over Mia Winslow’s hand injury, and once on site, he didn’t need instructions to understand what needed to be done.
"Adrian, don’t go! Please?" Seeing Adrian Grant about to leave, Mia Winslow pleaded unwillingly.
Adrian Grant didn’t pause for a mont and left directly.
Charles Rhodes sidestepped and blocked Mia Winslow’s view of Adrian Grant, smiling, "Miss Winslow, if you need anything, feel free to ask ."
Mia Winslow clenched her back teeth, her gaze towards Charles Rhodes filled with undisguised animosity.
"Special Assistant Rhodes, have I done sothing to cause a misunderstanding? Why do I feel like you’re sowhat wary of ? What are you guarding against?"
Charles Rhodes replied with airtight tact, "Miss Winslow, that’s just your imagination."
-
The hospital where Eleanor was and the one Mia Winslow was in were on opposite sides, east and west.
Adrian Grant drove over, arriving half an hour later.
The VIP ward area wasn’t crowded.
Adrian Grant saw Jude Winslow squatting outside a ward, smoking.
Jude Winslow felt a sudden chill, looked up to see Adrian Grant’s genuinely stripped face of pretense, and choked on his smoke in fright.
"Cough, cough, cough! Brother-in-law, you’re here so quickly?" Jude Winslow hurried to stand up.
"Eleanor’s inside?" Adrian Grant pointed to the closed door of the adjoining ward.
Jude Winslow nodded, pulling on Adrian Grant who was about to push the door open.
"Hey! She’s lost too much blood, and is asleep now. Why don’t you go in later?"
There’s still a pretty boy in there!
"Lost too much blood?" Adrian Grant’s expression changed drastically.
"Huh? You didn’t know?" Jude Winslow gestured with open hands, "When I got to the house, she was lying in a pool of blood, like she was dying."
Adrian Grant’s expression made Jude Winslow feel like he was about to be swallowed whole.
"It’s not like I caused it, don’t scare . She must have called soone she trusted, and that ungrateful person didn’t help her. Despite how much she trusted that person to call!"
But he, he refused her.
