"Excuse , is Miss Serena Jennings staying here?"
The person who pushed the door open was unfamiliar to Lana Xavier.
But Serena Jennings recognized her.
"Miss Fulton..."
Serena never expected Cynthia Fulton would co to visit her.
Of course, she wouldn’t naively think Cynthia Fulton bought a fruit basket especially for her because she wanted to be friends.
Cynthia Fulton subtly expressed her desire to chat with Serena alone, prompting Patrick Rhodes to sensibly leave.
Lana Xavier still didn’t want to leave.
Now, Serena had already introduced her that this lady nad Cynthia Fulton is Justin Nash’s fiancée.
Lana Xavier didn’t believe Cynthia Fulton wasn’t aware that Justin Nash used to like Serena.
Maybe Justin Nash still likes her now.
Therefore, Lana Xavier was not comfortable leaving Serena alone with Cynthia Fulton.
"It’s alright, Lana, you go out first! Can you help get so strawberries..."
Seeing Serena insist, Lana Xavier had no choice but to leave.
At this mont, only Serena and Cynthia Fulton were left in the ward.
After autumn, the weather cooled down, Serena’s hospital room had the window open, and the cold air poured in directly, lingering between Serena and Cynthia Fulton.
"Miss Jennings, don’t bla for being too direct, but as Justin’s fiancée, I think I have the right to understand my fiancé’s relationships with the won around him..."
Cynthia Fulton’s voice was gentle, her tone sincere, and her attitude neither arrogant nor submissive, asking straightforwardly.
"May I ask what is your relationship with Justin?"
"Friends."
Serena answered without hesitation.
"Just that?"
"Just that."
Serena nodded slightly.
Back then, Justin Nash never confessed to her, and their relationship indeed stopped at friends.
Plus, Justin Nash’s mother used money to buy peace, asking her to sever ties with him.
She took the money and complied.
Nowadays, rather than saying they are friends, it’s more accurate to say they’ve already broken ties.
Serena just felt there was no need to tell Cynthia Fulton so much.
The more she said, the more Cynthia Fulton might think, thereby affecting her relationship with Justin.
Cynthia Fulton stared intently at Serena.
She wanted to know if Serena was lying to her.
Serena was very beautiful, the kind of beauty that surpasses even big stars.
Her big, black eyes seed to speak, but also weren’t the type to easily reveal her thoughts.
Although Cynthia Fulton didn’t think Serena intentionally wanted to interfere between her and Justin Nash, she couldn’t completely believe everything Serena said.
If Serena and Justin Nash were really just ordinary friends, why would Justin stop their scheduled wedding photo shoot and drive three hours to the hospital?
Serena’s accident was a big deal, even an ordinary friend should visit upon hearing about it.
But Justin was taking wedding photos with her.
And he left without even telling her.
Whenever Cynthia Fulton thought about this, she felt rage.
Fortunately, The Nash Family valued her; Justin Nash was called ho by Justin’s parents shortly after arriving at the hospital, apologized to her in person, and gifted her a limited edition classic orange textured leather handbag from Hers’s seasonal haute couture.
Cynthia Fulton wouldn’t get angry with Justin Nash.
But it didn’t an this matter was settled in her mind.
"Miss Jennings, since you are friends with Justin, you’re also my friend... This..."
While speaking, Cynthia Fulton took out an envelope from her Hers handbag.
"I don’t have your WeChat, so I couldn’t send you the electronic version, and the paper version feels more sincere."
Serena accepted the envelope from Cynthia’s hand, opened it, and took out the contents.
It was a wedding invitation.
Elegant and exquisite moonlight white Gango paper, engraved and gold-embossed, edged with high-quality pink lace, with nurous mica fragnts embedded in the fibers.
The wedding invitation itself conveyed the bride and groom’s distinguished family background.
Serena slightly raised her eyelids at the sight of Justin Nash and Cynthia Fulton’s nas printed in titanium silver.
Justin Nash is really getting married...
"Congratulations."
Serena accepted the invitation.
Although she couldn’t be sure if this marriage ant happiness for Justin, being in a wealthy family left him with no choice.
To Justin Nash, perhaps Cynthia Fulton was the best choice.
She was certainly better than herself.
"The wedding is set for three months later, you must co by then!"
Cynthia Fulton reminded.
"Don’t worry, I’ll be there."
After Serena spoke, she saw Cynthia Fulton stand up.
"Then I won’t disturb your rest, take care of yourself!"
After Cynthia Fulton left, Lana Xavier, who had been waiting at the door, returned to the ward.
"Serena, what did Miss Fulton say to you?" Lana glanced at the tightly closed door, "I don’t think she ans well."
Serena shrugged, "Nothing much, she just gave a wedding invitation."
"A wedding invitation?!" Lana Xavier was shocked, "Whose wedding?"
"Of course, it’s Justin Nash and Cynthia Fulton’s."
"Darn!"
Lana’s reaction made Serena chuckle helplessly.
The next day, more people ca to visit Serena in her hospital room.
This person nearly got driven out with a broom by Lana Xavier.
But was stopped by Mr. Miller.
Seeing Claire Shaw accompanied by Mr. Miller, Serena knew it was surely Caleb Lockwood’s arrangent.
"Serena, how is your recovery going, are you feeling better?"
In public, Claire Shaw always seed genuinely concerned, which made Serena nauseated.
The ward was silent.
Seeing Serena remain quiet, Claire Shaw wasn’t embarrassed, instead she smiled warmly.
"You don’t know, the day you had your accident, I was in Caleb’s car. When I heard you were in ICU, I was terrified, wanted to rush to the hospital right away with Caleb. You can ask Caleb if you don’t believe , but..."
Claire Shaw lowered her head while speaking.
"But Caleb said he didn’t want to go to the hospital, he wanted to finish his business before going over..."
Serena’s hand instinctively tightened around the sheet.
Claire Shaw’s words matched Lana Xavier’s accounts.
It seed Caleb Lockwood hadn’t co even once since she was rushed to ICU after the accident until she had surgery and was recovering in hospital.
"Even though you two are getting divorced, Caleb’s behavior is really unacceptable, I apologize on his behalf. Today as well, I wanted to visit you with Caleb, but Caleb has business partnerships with my parents and is currently very busy spending ti with them. He couldn’t make ti, so I ca with Mr. Miller to see you."
Claire Shaw spoke, signaled Mr. Miller, who imdiately presented the flowers he was holding to Serena.
"This bouquet is my gift to you. I’m not sure what you like. Pink roses are my favorite, Caleb always buys them for , and I enjoy purchasing them. I hope you don’t mind."
As Mr. Miller approached Serena with the vibrant pink roses, she sneezed uncontrollably.
"Sorry, Mr. Miller, I’m allergic to pollen."
Mr. Miller froze in place.
Beside him, Claire Shaw sighed dramatically.
"Oh, you indeed find fault with my gift."
Serena couldn’t be bothered to explain. If Claire Shaw insisted on understanding it that way, she didn’t care.
Ultimately, the large bouquet of pink roses was taken out the sa way it was brought in by Mr. Miller.
Outside the inpatient building, Claire Shaw was on the phone with Caleb Lockwood.
"Caleb, I went to see Serena and even gave her a gift, but she found excuses not to accept it... Isn’t that right, Mr. Miller?"
Claire Shaw held her phone out toward Mr. Miller.
