An hour later, Abel and Emmeline arrived at the hospital.
Benjamin was there too. He came from Glenbrook after taking a shower and changing his clothes. He seemed graceful and noble.
Abel and Benjamin exchanged glances at the door before going into the room.
Emmeline sat down on the bed and took Janie’s hand.
Janie’s eyes were filled with tears.
“I nodded off while driving. You know pregnant women get sleepy easily, right? I didn’t expect this would happen…”
“Don’t be sad. Rest well and get healthy soon. You’ll still be able to bear children after this,” Emmeline said.
“…I’m not married yet, so I won’t be thinking of children for now,” Janie said softly.
“What does Benjamin say? Are you two planning to get married?” Emmeline asked.
“I don’t want to get married. I came to my senses and thought I should stay single for another two years,” Janie said sullenly.
Emmeline did not know what to say.
She remembered Abel telling her not to meddle in Benjamin’s relationship affairs.
“Ahem,” Abel coughed as he closed the door behind him.
Janie lifted her head and smiled politely. “You’re here, Mr. Ryker.”
“Mm. Are you feeling better?” Abel asked as he put the gifts on the table.
“I’m feeling a lot better now. Thanks,” Janie said.
Abel was friendly toward Janie because she was Emmeline’s friend. Otherwise, his expression and tone would remain cold.
“What do you plan to do next?” Emmeline asked Janie.
“I think…” Janie turned her head toward Benjamin. “I think I want to go to work at Adelmar Studios.”
“Adelmar Studios?” Benjamin and Emmeline asked at the same time.
“I don’t want to remain at Adelmar Group,” Janie said. “I’m sure people will be gossiping about me, and I don’t want to hear any stories.”
“…” Benjamin nodded. “The working conditions are very good there. You can be an assistant manager.”
Emmeline did not say anything.
