Chapter 49
A sharp alint flashed past Nicholas’ dark gaze when he heard that before instructing immediately. “Edward, bring Mr. Sloan to the main house. Even if you guys were to entirely mess up Yana Johnson’s room, I need you guys to obtain evidence for me!”
“Yes!”
Edward nodded without any hint of delay.
Then, Ashton nodded slightly and stood up before he followed Edward to the main house.
At the same time, Yana and Roselle, who were still at the hospital, were still oblivious to what had happened and they finally found the opportunity to talk to each other when they went to pour some warm water for Gregory.
At this moment, a worried Roselle asked with a small voice, “Mom, are you sure that no one saw you when you placed the drug in the cup?”
Yana nodded before she insisted, “Of course. Don’t you believe what I say? I was really careful and even avoided all the surveillance cameras! Besides, the living room is a common area, where there’s no need for any hidden surveillance, so I definitely didn’t make any mistakes this time!”
She sounded full of confidence.
Although Roselle nodded lightly in acknowledgement, she couldn’t help but worry somehow as she initially thought that Tessa wouldn’t be able to clear her name after being framed as the perpetrator. However, Tessa had somehow gotten lucky.
Besides, Andrew was the least suspected among the three of them considering how loyal he was to the Sawyer Family.
Hence, Roselle couldn’t help but worry that she might be in trouble soon.
When Yana noticed the worried look on Roselle’s face, she quickly assured again, “It’s fine, Roselle.
Stop scaring yourself. I promise you that we won’t get exposed!”
Nevertheless, Roselle bit her lip and continued to agonize over what happened.
She suddenly narrowed her eyes and whispered, “Mom, if we really get exposed, I hope that you can stand up and take responsibility for what happened. Can you do that?”
When Yana paused, Roselle’s gaze darkened before she added, “Mom, do you understand that I can’t be involved in this at all? If I’m not involved, there’s still a chance for us to make amends. If not, everything will be over!”
Upon hearing that, Yana nodded. “Alright, I’ll take the responsibility for everything if we are really exposed!”
Roselle exhaled and felt much more relieved now that she had Yana’s assurance.
Some time later, Nicholas returned to the hospital with Gregory’s clothes. Although he didn’t directly expose Yana, his face was dark as he told everyone to return home. .
Before leaving, Roselle, who still refused to give up, went toward him and asked gently once again, “Nicholas, why don’t I stay back as well? I’m worried that you won’t be able to take care of Gregory on your own.”
Still, he rejected her coldly without even looking up. “It’s fine.”
What a straightforward response!
Not being able to say anything anymore, she could only trall behind Yana as they prepared to leave.
At this moment, a worried Stefanie exhorted again, “Nicholas, remember to notify us at the first moment If anything happens to Greg again!”
Nevertheless, he replied with an emotionless look, “Don’t worry.”
In no time, Nicholas and Gregory were the only ones left in the huge hospital ward.
At the same time, Tessa was hiding at a corner of the hospital entrance and sighed when she saw all members of the Sawyer Family leaving in their respective cars as she arrived at the hospital again to visit Gregory
An hour ago, she was supposed to head home after finishing her orchestra practice, but she still felt somewhat worried about what had happened.
After struggling for about an hour, she finally convinced herself to sneak to the hospital to check on Gregory’s condition. I’m only here to check up on Greg’s condition so that I can feel better and stop worrying. Once I’ve checked on him and made sure that he’s alright, I’ll sneak out again.
Then, she took a deep breath and entered the hospital in confident strides.
Not long after, Tessa found herself standing in front of Gregory’s ward as she looked around from the transparent window of his ward.
