Chapter 533
By the time Jean left the ward, Gigi had already taken her medicine and fallen asleep.
Andrew passed by and said, "Ms.Eyer, can I talk to you for a while?"
"Sure, I've wanted to ask you about Gigi's illness." Andrew stepped forward.
"The hospital did find a donor.Unfortunately, the donor is hesitant.
"What?"
"Such occurrence is not unusual.I will talk to the person myself and see if I can get the person to agree.Her emotions appear unstable, so I haven't told her about this yet.Jean tried her best to process the two drastically different news.Before she left, Andrew informed her about another matter.
"Someone from Royden Group came by today.She is a rather young lady.After she left, Gigi agreed to keep me as her main doctor.I thought I should let you know."
The matters were becoming even more peculiar.
Later, Jean sat in the car and considered for a long time.Her thoughts were a mess.She did not even notice that her phone had been ringing a few times.
By the time she returned to her senses, the sky had darkened.
She noticed two messages from Rachel on the phone.
"Ms.Eyer, Edbert's assistant has come by: ‘He wants me to sue the company, but I refused: Jean did not reply and rushed to the hospital immediately.
She arrived at Rachel's ward to find Joseph and Miles arguing.
"She is still a patient.The police have no power to limit her freedom."
Miles' face was flushed with fury.His usual gentlemanly demeanor was nowhere to be found.
Joseph was also helpless about the matter.
"Someone made an anonymous report, so I must proceed according to the procedures.We had confirmed that Xena met with Rachel before she was hospitalized.Furthermore, they argued.Thus, Rachel is a suspect."
"But she is also hospitalized." Miles became even more furious.
Joseph was tired of explaining.He waved his hand to signal his subordinates to come over.
"You two are to stand guard outside this room.It's only until tomorrow, and I'll inform the superiors: Jean rushed to them."Officer Bunnings, I'm willing to be Rachel's guarantor.She will not run away and will cooperate with the police investigation.Moreover, I was at the scene when the incident happened.My testimony should be valid, right?"
Joseph hesitated.
"Ms.Eyer..."
Rachel's face was pale, and her steps seemed unstable.
One could not help but feel pity upon seeing her.
Jean furrowed her brow.
She recalled what Andrew told her.
Xena was said to be in much more severe condition than Rachel and even had to stay in the ICU overnight.
Yet, she was able to run out to meet with Gigi.It was not just her physical health.
She even seemed spirited.
Thus, Jean believed Xena's condition was not as severe as the rumors said.
Jean thought Xena was completely fine.
"Let's go in.You need to rest’ Rachel wanted to say something but stopped herself.Then, she glanced at Miles before looking down.
After she woke up, she carefully recalled everything that had happened.
She concluded that it was either due to her carelessness or the other side carrying out their plans perfectly that things came to this.
Miles frowned.
"Mr.Royden sent me here to keep watch in case someone comes here to cause trouble.We can't trust George."
"I understand"
Rachel seemed despondent.
"He brought up the incident where my brother injured someone at school to threaten me.He said the other side wants one million as compensation.My family can't afford to pay this much.George said if this goes on, my brother will have to go to prison’ Her eyes welled up with tears.
"Give me the address."
Miles took out his phone and offered it to her.
Rachel looked at him with a bewildered expression.
"l'll resolve it for you.It doesn't matter if they demand one million or ten million; Miles said without hesitation.Rachel looked at the phone he offered before looking back at him.She slowly shook her head.
"I don't mean for you to get involved" All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
"Please give me the address."
Miles's frown deepened.
"If we delay any longer, I will miss the last train"
Thus, Rachel had no choice but to accept his phone and type the address.
"I’ve also written my house's phone number’ "Ms.Eyer, I'll be heading off first.Mr.Royden will send people here later.I've checked with the hospital, and they said that Rachel could be discharged tomorrow.As for the police officers outside, you don't have to worry.Just treat them as free bodyguards."
He did not wish to cause Rachel any more harm and stress.
"Thank you" Rachel said softly.
She clenched her fingers as she watched him leave.
Even though he is Edgar's assistant, how much money would he have? He would only have his monthly salary.
Jean thought to herself and did not point out the matter.
Instead, she glanced around the room and dragged the hospital's folding bed next to the couch before lying down.
"Ms.Eyer, are you going to sleep here?"
Rachel got up immediately.
"Let me sleep on the couch.You should get the bed"
But before she could come close, Jean took off her jacket and used it as a blanket.
"I'm exhausted and don't feel like moving at all.You should go to bed too."
After saying that, she reached for the light switch and turned it off.
Rachel sat on the bed and watched Jean lying there.She could not stop tears from flowing.She knew Jean was concerned that the situation would stress her and that someone would come to bother her.
Rachel wiped tears from her eyes.Her voice was still a little muffled and hoarse as she said, "Ms.Eyer.After this matter ends, will you get back together with Mr.Royden?"
Jean frowned.
Initially, she planned to ignore the question, but Rachel sounded dispirited.
"When did you become such a busybody?"
"I've always been watching from the front seat.I can't help being curious."
Rachel sniffled hard.
"Furthermore, I need to plan for my career.Once I leave the hospital..."
Rachel kept on talking.
Jean gradually smiled upon hearing her and went along with her.
"Yes, I'll raise your salary.What else?"
They barely slept that night.
Then, in the early morning, Miles brought four portions of breakfast.
There were warm muffins and Rachel's favorite smoothie.
Jean looked at Rachel and Miles from the side and could not help but chuckle.
"You should get the smoothie from Yumi Fruit Bar! This one is not as nice."
Miles shook his head.
"I rushed here from the company, so I didn't have enough time.Please give it a try first.I'll get you another one later if it's not to your liking,"
Rachel and Jean were stunned.
"Did you not go home last night?"
Miles realized he accidentally let something slip.
"I...I went to the company early in the morning."
Rachel bit her lower lip and began to eat the breakfast he had brought.
Jean glanced outside at the car park downstairs.
Coincidentally, a man came out of his car carrying something carefully.
The wind rustled through the hair on his forehead.
He did not seem as vigorous as he was.
Instead, he had the vibe of a middle-aged entrepreneur.
Jean leaned against the window and smiled.
By the time she came back to her senses, she could not help but frown.
What was I thinking? Why do I still feel a thrill over such a minor thing?
