Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 198

Geneva quickly said to me, "Janetta is showing signs of waking up. I'm at the hospital with Janice!"

"Really?" I exclaimed excitedly, "That's great news!"

"That's why I'm here with Janice at the hospital. I'm worried about her condition," Geneva stated seriously. "Although things look promising, we can't be sure when she'll wake up. We're just waiting for Jaylan's order, but I'm not sure what he's hesitating about."

She knew the reason I called and lowered her voice. "I can't push him anymore."

"I suspect someone is interfering with his decision," I said confidently.

"You mean, something to do with the kid?" Geneva asked.

"It might be. I have a feeling Marissa is being manipulated," I replied, feeling a bit uneasy. "But I can't figure out why someone would want to hinder the growth of Medsafe Liyah Inc. It doesn't make sense."

"What did the police say?" Geneva asked.

"They've limited my movements, but I feel like there's more to it. They haven't asked me any probing questions," I aired my doubts.

"We'll just have to wait then. The kid is missing and that's a fact," Geneva comforted me. "It's been over 40 hours, we should hear something soon."

I nodded and asked, "Should I go to the hospital with Catherine? Do we need to stay overnight?"

"It's too soon to tell, we'll discuss it later tonight. The point is that Janetta is waking up, and Janice is really worried."

"Oh, when's the deadline for the verification?" I asked Geneva before hanging up.

"Tonight is the deadline, and negotiations start tomorrow," Geneva replied.

"So soon?" I was taken aback. I hadn't expected today to be the deadline.

I couldn't tell what Jaylan had decided before he left just now.

"The inspection team's schedule was moved up. Two companies have already finished the process, so everything was expedited," Geneva sounded helpless. "We can't make any more moves now."
