Stella weakly removed her oxygen mask and was just about to speak when Evan rcilessly turned and walked out of the ward.
George Grant and his wife arrived at the door of the ward at that mont.
Lily Windsor saw Evan and was sowhat agitated.
"Evan, you finally have ti to see Stella. She heard that Juliana Jacobs embarrassed you and ran out to find you, ending up getting hit by a car..."
Lily Windsor covered her face and wept bitterly, but Evan remained indifferent, looking towards George Grant.
"Did you have her admitted here?"
George Grant’s mouth twitched, "Stella’s condition is very serious."
Evan’s gaze darkened, "From now on, not a penny of your family’s dical expenses will be charged to my account, including this ti."
Lily Windsor’s crying ca to an abrupt stop.
George Grant’s breathing hitched, as if stabbed in a vital spot with a scalpel.
This ti, Stella’s hospitalization incurred unnecessary expenses amounting to tens of thousands, and Lily Windsor’s illness was a bottomless pit. If he didn’t cover it, he’d have to pay out of pocket.
"You’re my son, you..."
"You reap what you sow, don’t throw it onto ."
Throwing down these cold words, Evan left.
Throughout it all, he didn’t leave a single word of concern for Stella.
"Husband, what’s going on here? Juliana Jacobs almost made him bankrupt, and yet he still can’t part with her?"
In response to his son’s words, George Grant’s face turned frighteningly grim.
...
Hospital 547 Intensive Care Unit.
Besides being too weak to stay awake, Juliana Jacobs couldn’t sleep at all.
So, just after settling down, she awoke again.
Caleb Shaw glanced at the instrunts and said to her, "It’s very safe here; you can rest assured."
Juliana Jacobs’ face was bloodless, and she spoke with great difficulty, but each word that trembled from her lips was steeped in soul-crushing hatred.
"For his sake, you altered my dical records, hiding that a miscarriage was perford during the ergency surgery. Dr. Shaw, are you at peace when you think of my child?"
Caleb Shaw’s complexion changed at her words.
"You... How did you find out?"
Sumr Shaw widened her eyes in disbelief, "Brother, you actually did this?"
Juliana Jacobs, "I didn’t report you because I knew that even if the child could be saved, Evan wouldn’t let keep it. And you are a good doctor; I didn’t want you to ruin your future over this."
So that’s why, after waking up in the basent last ti, she had been cold and aloof toward him.
Evan had always tried to hide the truth about the miscarriage, but she already knew.
Caleb Shaw felt overwhelmingly ashad.
Juliana Jacobs gasped for air, "So you can go. I resent everything and everyone related to him, including you."
"Juliana, I..."
Caleb Shaw looked up, only to et Evan’s abyss-like gaze, and promptly said to Sumr Shaw, "Take good care of her."
He pushed Evan, who had one foot inside the ward, out.
"Why are you not in the other special care ward with your sister, running here to do what? Aren’t you tired handling both ends?"
Evan’s jawline tensed, "Our business doesn’t concern you."
Caleb Shaw gave a light scoff, "Then why did you have cover up the miscarriage caused by your negligence in the first place?"
Evan pressed his lips together, not answering; Caleb Shaw inhaled sharply.
"Did you know she was in danger, and intentionally wanted to sacrifice her?"
Evan didn’t directly respond but rely said, "I’ll make up for all the grievances she suffered."
Caleb Shaw looked as though he heard a joke.
"Just because you always believe everything can be compensated, you never care about the hurt you caused her. Evan, even if she overcos crisis after crisis, the scars will follow her for a lifeti. If the heart is broken, you can’t piece it back together even if you pick them up kneeling!"
"I must have really been out of my mind to beco an accomplice with you!"
With that said, he left without looking back.
In the ward, Sumr Shaw gently brushed Juliana Jacobs’ hair.
"You handled it beautifully today; you finally broke ties with him completely. We’ll take our ti with what cos next. You are still under observation, so get so rest; I’m staying here with you."
"I’m very tired, but I just can’t sleep. Every ti I close my eyes, it feels like I’m being held down and that thick piercing needle..."
At the ntion of this, Juliana began to tremble all over unconsciously.
Fearing she would end up in the ergency room again, Sumr Shaw called in doctors, hoping they could give her dication to stabilize her mood.
Fortunately, the expert team from Kingsford hadn’t left, waiting to return until Juliana was completely out of life-threatening danger.
"The dosage of the drug injected into her was too high; blood concentration monitored shows it will take over ten hours to be completely tabolized. For now, let’s use acupuncture to regulate her nervous system."
After saying this, the expert had his assistant bring in his sandalwood acupuncture box.
As Sumr Shaw watched the doctor perform acupuncture on Juliana, she softly asked, "Who sent you?"
The doctor gave her a glance, only smiling without saying anything.
But Sumr Shaw wasn’t foolish; she guessed it probably had sothing to do with the person in Kingsford.
But why did he intervene twice to save Juliana? The first ti was when she begged him, but what was the reason this ti?
After dication, Juliana finally fell asleep.
Sumr Shaw stayed to accompany her, but having been exhausted throughout the day, she fell into a deep sleep on the accompanying bed.
She wasn’t even aware of Juliana moaning and sweating in her sleep...
The next day, as the effects of acupuncture faded, Juliana opened her eyes from a nightmare, finding the sky just starting to turn light.
Sumr Shaw was snoring lightly on the accompanying bed.
She slept so deeply, so who was it that wiped her sweat last night, who held her while gently patting her soothingly, repeatedly saying "I’m sorry"?
Could it have been...
Juliana’s breath caught.
At that mont, the door to the ward was gently pushed open.
Adrian Langley’s face appeared through the crack in the door.
Both of them were surprised for a mont.
Seeing Juliana sitting up in bed, he quietly walked inside.
"I heard you fainted yesterday; I ca to check on you," he said softly.
"Did Jared Langley tell you?" Juliana asked.
Adrian Langley didn’t reply, but seeing the bruises on her hands and collar, he could only imagine how severe the ones on her body might be.
Unconsciously, he clenched his fists tightly.
"Is he treating you poorly?"
Juliana was calm, "How I’m doing... Does it have anything to do with you?"
Adrian Langley hesitated to speak.
Juliana, feeling tired of sitting, leaned back against the bedhead, her eyes never leaving him.
"You ca because you heard I was dying, right? To see one last ti?"
"You won’t die."
Juliana chuckled at his words.
"Vice President Langley, we aren’t close, your sneaking in to see first thing in the morning might mislead into thinking we were once intimate."
Adrian Langley’s lips trembled at her words.
At this ti, Sumr Shaw awoke.
Seeing Adrian Langley’s face, she blurted out without thinking, "Aidan Linton, have you risen from the dead?"
"No, you’ve got the wrong person."
Adrian Langley’s voice turned cautious.
He turned his gaze towards Juliana, obscured by an unreadable fog of emotion.
"My brother sent . Now that I know you’re okay, I’ll leave."
With that, he strode out.
Sumr Shaw finally cleared her head but remained puzzled.
"The Younger Langley died at the hands of the Elder Langley, and this newly risen Langley bastard is fighting viciously with the Elder Langley. How can he co to see you for his brother?"
Could he have so reason not to admit he’s Aidan Linton?
Juliana paused and then turned to ask her, "Did anyone else co last night?"
Sumr Shaw thought for a mont, then affird, "No."
"I’m hungry, go buy sothing to eat," Juliana said.
Sumr Shaw thought the sa.
A lot happened yesterday; she didn’t eat much dinner out of worry. Now, her stomach was practically glued to her back.
As soon as she stepped into the stairwell, she saw Adrian Langley and Evan grappling with each other.
She shouted, "Oh my, stop fighting, you two!"
