“I heard that Frank came to Jelaston this time to look for clues about his former fiancee.”
*I didn’t expect him to be such a devoted person.”
I was somewhat surprised that there was someone like Jack, who persisted in his feelings for someone he met in his youth, for so many years.
Jack smiled and didn’t say much more. He then just added, “Will you be home tomorrow? I’ll bring the gift over after work.”
“The gift?” It took me a moment to remember what he mentioned last night and nodded. “Alright, I should be home these next few days.”
The next day, I woke up naturally and felt the empty space beside me in bed.
Jane was gone.
I picked up my phone and saw her WhatsApp message. “I’m off. If Tom goes crazy again, I’ll come back to seek shelter.”
“You’re such a player. You ran off after sleeping with me.”
I replied with a smile and lazily lay in bed, scrolling through my phone.
The matter with Jessica and John, along with what she and Wen Fang had exposed at the Civil Affairs Bureau, had a significant impact on the Frost Group. The stocks had dropped several percentage points, showing signs of continuous decline.
The cursing hadn’t stopped, indicating just how much Frank had stirred things up.
With things escalating like this, that family of three might get chased and beaten even when they stepped out without masks.
“Mrs. Frost! There’s a fight between the family members and patients in the VIP ward, and it’s gotten rough!”
In the afternoon, the nurse’s station at the St. Heart Hospital called and said this straight away.
My head buzzed for a moment. I grabbed my car keys and hurriedly said, “How did it escalate to a fight? I’m coming over right now.”
When I arrived at the hospital, the police had already arrived, and there were quite a few people gathered inside and outside the ward.
“Who are you to the patient?” a police officer asked when they saw me wanting to go in.
I immediately replied, “Niece, she’s my aunt.”
“Okay, you can go in. Try to persuade them. Why do a married couple need to fight? They should avoid getting physical,” the police officer said.
Bob nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, you’re right. I won’t start a fight again.”

I bypassed him and went straight to see my aunt. When I saw her battered with bruises all over, my nose tingled, and I glared fiercely at Bob.
“Are you out of your mind? She’s a patient, and you’ve beaten her up to this extent?”
