Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 247

Shirley spoke in a wailed tone on the phone.

Hearing this, Jean felt a buzz within her ears and her expression changed all of a sudden.

"What's up?" Zed touched Jean on the shoulder wanting to know what happened.

Meanwhile, Shirley cried even louder making Jean jump a little, "Jean…… Jean, my elder sister……"

It was all too much for Jean, she quickly pressed the shutdown button on her cell phone and dropped in on the seat.

Her silence scared Zed who didn't know how to react to this. He stretched out his hands and pulled her closer, "Jean, who was that? Why are you acting so strange……" he whispered in her ears.

"Nothing serious……" Jean replied looking grave. She realized Zed would need more explanation, so she explained, "Just an insignificant call."

Trying to act cool made her calm a bit, and she felt her shock subside.

Zed was no fool and knew Jean was hiding something but decided it was best to leave the matter for now.

'I'm sure Jean will come to me with her problems if there is something serious.

Maybe the matter is not a big deal hence she doesn't want to bother me.

It's okay! I'll respect her decisions!' he consoled himself.

The car moved ahead steadily. With her chin rested on one hand, Jean gazed blankly outside the window lost in thoughts.

'Why can't they just leave me alone? That's all I am asking for. Thank god I got permission from Zed to visit the hospital alone. I can't imagine what will happen if he joins me.

What did Shirley mean when she said that father was dying?

Shirley Wen, are you trying to torture me all over again? How could you?

I'm not gonna listen to you anymore.

Even if it is true, you are his daughter and it's your duty to figure a way out. I have to admit that you've always been smarter than me. You always have more ideas than me when solving problems.

That's why I'm so relieved to have you take care of Henry.'

These thoughts were meant to comfort her but Jean still felt a little uneasy.

'Father is dying...…'

These words repeated themselves in Shirley's voice and Jean trembled once again. She has never before heard Shirley so scared, and it unnerved her.

'Is Shirley really scared, Or is it just another scheme to fool me?

Did she do so to make me believe her so that she can get what she wants when I arrive?

Shirley Wen, you have cheated me so many times that I find it hard to believe you.

What should I do now?

Should I go to take a look at him?'

Jean drifted in her thoughts. On reaching her destination, she waved at Zed without actually being present there. Her body was present, but her mind seemed to be somewhere else.

'Never mind. I should visit Moore first since I am here now.'

After making up her mind, Jean strode towards the hospital gate. With a heavy heart, she entered inside.
