When he thought of a possibility, he panicked even more. He snatched his phone from the waiter's hand and quickly pressed some numbers.
"Hey, Shawn, something happened!"
Shawn was playing with Dalton. When he heard Connor's unusual tone, the smile on his lips instantly disappeared. "What happened?"
"That Janina cut her wrist in my room and tried to commit suicide."
Janina? Joye's best friend!
Shawn suddenly stood up from the chair. Dalton was so scared that his face turned pale. He looked up at Shawn uneasily and asked, "Dad, what happened?"
"Be good, Dalton. I have something to deal with and have to go first. Ask your mom to play with you.”
After touching his son’s hair, Shawn took his coat from the chair, made a call, and left the villa.
"Shawn, Jasper, come and eat some fruit."
With the plate of washed fruits in her hand, Vivian walked out of the kitchen with a smile. She saw the empty chair and Dalton pouting sadly.
"Mommy, Dad said that he has something to deal with, so he can't play with me."
Vivian's grip on the plate gradually tightened. There weren't many people who could make him leave in such a hurry.
The Rolls-Royce drove into the parking lot of the hospital. Shawn went straight to the operating theater. When he saw Connor walking back and forth at the door, he raised his eyebrows.
"How long has it been? Why would she hurt herself at your place?"
"How would I know? Even if she’s fragile, she doesn't need to do this.”
Connor was worried. He felt that if she died, he would be traumatized.
"What happened to the both of you?"
Shawn looked at Connor. Ever since what happened at the police station between Connor and Janina, he did not think that they would cause more trouble.
"I didn’t do anything. I just opened her suitcase and looked through her laptop. I found a photo to irritate her, then she went mad and tried to cut herself.”
Shawn's expression became serious. "Do you still remember what happened to the Hill family five years ago?"
Connor was confused, but he had a vague memory.
"Do you mean the Hill family, the family that was destroyed… Is it the Hill family, whose husband and wife’s cars collided with each other and died on the spot? They and Janina... she... is the daughter who went crazy and disappeared?"
Connor was shocked.
His face turned pale.
That big incident happened five years ago. The Hill family was a reputable family with ties to politics and business. Mr. and Mrs. Hill were involved in a car accident while they were driving luxury cars, and died as a result.
In the backseat of Mrs. Hill's car sat the only daughter of the Hill family. Later, someone said that the girl had gone crazy. After a long time, no one mentioned it again.
As for the accident, some tabloids speculated that because Mr. Hill had a mistress, Mrs. Hill decided to kill them and caused the accident on purpose.
