"Where are you going?"
Jane was about to take off her clothes when she heard Louis' low, cold questioning voice.
She was startled and turned around to see Louis staring at her coldly.
The look made Jane uneasy, especially when she remembered his many reminders and instructions today.
He was good to her, but she had no choice.
Vivian was waiting for her in the hospital. She could have ignored it before, but after Vivian's call, she couldn't ignore it anymore.
Such a small, sensitive child like Vivian would be scared if she had nightmares alone without anyone by her side.
"I'm going to the hospital, Louis. I remember everything you told me earlier, but I just received a call from Vivian. She needs surgery and can't be alone."
Jane's face showed a worried expression and even her tone was very concerned.
In fact, from the moment Louis saw that Jane had prepared herself to change the clothes, he knew that Jane was going out to find that child.
He wasn't happy about it.
But seeing Jane like this softened his heart again.
She belonged to him. From the moment he saw her again, he was sure that no matter what happened, he would keep her firmly by his side.
He also promised to fulfill all of her requests.
At present though, he could only restrain his emotions.
"You didn't eat much dinner and now it's so late with no servants around. How will you get there?"
Louis' eyes were full of concern for Jane.
"I... I'll take a taxi!" What else could she do?
She couldn't possibly ask Louis to drive her over there!
"It worries me if you're taking taxis so late at night. As your husband, if you need anything, you can always come find me. I'll take you there together." As soon as he finished speaking, Louis walked into the cloakroom.
Jane didn't want to trouble him any further. Thinking of that, she chased after him and called out his name.
But Louis had begun taking off his clothes inside the cloakroom.
His sturdy yet well-proportioned naked body startled Jane immediately, causing her to turn around and cover up her eyes.
"Can you put on your clothes please?"
Jane's breathing became unsteady.
"Right away." Louis moved quickly; in no time at all , he stood in front of Jane with open arms, "Button my shirt."
What else could Jane do? She could only do as she was told.
Since they got so close to each other, she saw Louis's Adam's apple and the scene from earlier flashed through her mind again. Her face burned and she felt awkward. She had to hold herself together while helping him with his clothes.
"Jane, a lot of things between us are clear, right?" Louis asked.
"Yes," Jane replied, confused by his question.
The next second, Louis immediately followed up with another question, "So how should we calculate my loss tonight?"
Jane was at a loss. How was she supposed to know how to calculate his loss? He didn't really have any losses anyway. He hadn't given her any money. All he had given were tips and what she earned herself.
"It doesn't matter. You can think about it slowly. I'm not in a hurry," said Louis slowly with a deep smile on his mouth.
Hearing this made Jane want to hit him. What did he mean by "think about it slowly"?
"If you pay me for something I haven't done yet, then that's your loss. But nothing has started yet," Jane felt like it was necessary to clarify things.
The ward was empty and Vivian was nowhere to be found. Even the instruments that normally operated were all turned off at this moment!
"Vivian, Vivian!"
How could Jane remain calm?
She was like a wild beast out of control, crazily running around the ward, searching for Vivian's figure.
Vivian was not in the restroom or hallway.
Jane was in a state of panic as she grabbed her hair and rushed out to find a nurse. There was no one around late at night, and Vivian's disappearance must have something to do with the nurse.
However, Louis noticed the most important thing - the blanket was uncovered.
He took a step forward and reached out his hand, feeling the residual warmth.
"Vivian has just left. Maybe she got tired of being alone in the ward and went out for a walk?" Louis held onto Jane, trying to calm her down.
This sentence did have an effect.
Jane calmed down and said, "Didn't you find a caregiver? Where is her phone number? Quickly call the caregiver!"
Jane urged Louis, who she had previously respected, but at the moment was clearly impatient and out of control.
The importance of this child to Jane is crystal clear.
Louis had thought of calling the caregiver. But just now he tried to calm down Jane first.
Seeing Jane's impatience, Louis no longer procrastinated.
However, the caregiver did not answer the phone call.
Seeing Louis preparing to make a second call, Jane finally burst out, "Why bother calling again? Vivian must have had an accident!"
