After receiving a positive answer, the driver was even more puzzled.
The two girls looked clean and pretty. The driver was wondering if they had lost their minds. Why would someone take a taxi to circle around the hospital?
The driver thought it in his mind, and didn't show it on his face. They seemed to be gentle, so they shouldn't be villains.
Jessica noticed the driver kept looking at her through the rear-view mirror and could figure out the driver's thoughts, but she did not say anything.
After circling around the hospital, Jessica discovered that reporters were waiting at every exit of the hospital.
"These people are too..." Molly's face was full of depression, but she didn't continue because of the driver.
Jessica chuckled, "This is called dedication."
Molly was speechless.
Jessica tidied her hair and said awkwardly, "Sir, I hate to ask you this, but..."
"What?" The driver had been paying attention to her for a long time and had heard her words clearly.
"Can you go to the hospital with us? When we came out of Jade Majesty Hotel just now, someone had been stalking us. We had to ask you to circle around the hospital to see if the person is still following uh. If you come with us, the person should be afraid..."
Jessica's tone was filled with pleading and her eyes with sincerity.
The driver had been doing businesses nearby for a long time. He knew Jade Majesty Hotel was the best hotel in the city. It cost thousands of dollars for an ordinary room and tens of thousands for a presidential suite per night.
Anyone who could stay at that hotel must be rich or powerful.
As for Jessica and Molly, they looked innocent and young. They were indeed easy to become the targets of the bad guys when staying in such an expensive hotel.
The driver was a helpful man and nodded in a hurry, "Of course!"
"Thank you," Jessica said gratefully.
