In the hospital room, the doctor had just finished examining Janice and was instructing her family on care procedures.
Seeing me walk in with a broad grin, Janice gave me a wave. The medical staff, seeing this, reminded us not to overexert ourselves and then exited the room.
I approached Janice's bedside. She looked at me, still weak, and asked, "By the look on your face, I guess you have some good news?"
I nodded at Janice, then turned to Gevena before I replied, "The overseas deal is done. The payment has come through!"
Gevena's face instantly lighted up like a bright summer day, "Fantastic! We sisters have won our first battle!"
Janice also smiled, her face illuminated with the first resplendent smile of the day, "Aaliyah, I see hope now. I will pursue my sister's case, and I don't believe Irving is innocent!"
Gevena quickly reassured her, "Your main task now is to get well soon. Don't forget, you have a baby now!"
Baber, also with a grin, looked at Janice with doting eyes, patting her cheek, "Get well soon! You have me! I won't let you fight alone this time!"
Suddenly, I got a vision of Ronan. I had to admit, there was something very alluring about a man's protective words.
At this moment, I understood why Janice chose Baber. She was the wisest woman.
Those who truly cared for their wives were the real men. And Baber was definitely powerful. He could bring Janice much more than just safety and glory.
"By the way," I continued, "Irving was bragging to me earlier that he and Jaylan are working closely together to become the biggest shareholder of Medsafe Liyah Inc. There’s a celebration tonight at their headquarters, we'll find out then if their collaboration is genuine." I don't hide this news from Janice.
Gevena pondered for a moment, "So you're going back for the party, aren't you?"
"Yes, but I can leave Hannah here to take care of Janetta!" I quickly offered.
Janice immediately responded, "That won't be necessary. I hired two reliable nurses yesterday. They should be here any moment now. Also, Baber, fearing I would worry, has made our home caretaker here. That should be enough!"
