Having her worst fear confirmed, Pamela started to become hysterical. She threw off her blanket and got down
from the bed, despite Greg and Francine stopping her.
“If you two won’t tell me, I’ll go ask the doctor myself!”
Greg tried to get a hold of her, but there was not much he could do while being wheelchair-bound. Thus, he quickly
ordered, “Francine, get your Grandma back here! She cannot find out the truth. The doctor said she’ll have another
heart attack if she gets triggered again!”
Francine quickly chased after her grandmother, who did not even bother to put on her shoes before she ran out of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe hospital ward.
Francine managed to catch up to her. With the help of their servants, they carried Pamela back to the hospital
ward, despite the old woman’s protest.
Corinne’s death had become an irreversible fact, so the only thing they could do was to make sure Pamela did not
suffer any ill effects.
Greg immediately called for a doctor to give Pamela a shot of sedative once she was back in the ward. This way,
she would be too out of it to worry about Corinne.
Back at the surgery room’s waiting area…
Anya tried to comfort Jeremy, but he simply ignored her. He did not even move when she pulled or touched him. It
was as if his soul had left his body.
Even though Anya was happy about Corinne’s death, she could not help but worry that Jeremy might go crazy with
grief.
‘Is Corinne that important to him? Come on, they only knew each other for a few months, so why is it so hard for
him to come to terms with her death? After all, there’s plenty of fish in the sea. Take, for example, me! Why doesn’t
he like me? Look at me, Jeremy!’ screamed Anya internally.
She shook his body again. “Jeremy, say something. You’re starting to make me worry…”
Still, she received no response from Jeremy.
Rosie walked over. “Anya, why don’t you let Jeremy be for the time being? In fact, Lucas doesn’t look so good,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmeither. Why don’t you go comfort him?”
Rosie’s intention could not be any more clear. Since Jeremy was in too much of a shock to listen to anyone, she
wanted Anya to put in a few good words to Lucas about her so he would not hate her so much.
Anya looked up at Rosie. They began a silent exchange of words using their eyes. Rosie hoped Anya would
understand her and go talk to Lucas for her sake. However, to her surprise, what she got in the end was a slap from
Anya.
Slap!
This was the second time in the day Rosie was slapped, and it hurt more this time.
She looked at her best friend in total disbelief. “Anya! Why did you slap me?”
