Jordan rushed over and picked up the phone, "Hello, Mrs. Marsh! How is Mr. Marsh doing?"
"Did Pippa get home safely?" Jennifer was relieved. Pippa must have gotten home safely, otherwise, why would Jordan ask about Ivan?"
"She has just returned. How is Mr. Marsh?" Jordan asked again.
Jennifer could hear from his voice that he was really worried, and she answered with composure, "There was a knife stabbed into his back, but luckily, he is fine and his wound has been stitched. Don't tell Aubree about this yet, or she would be worried. Do you hear me?"
"I see," Jordan was still worried, "How long will it take for him to recover? It must have hurt? How is he now?"
"He will have to stay at Dr. Watson's for a week. If Aubree asked, tell her Mr. Ivan's on a business trip."
"Okay." Jordan nodded repeatedly.
Jennifer then said, "There's nothing else. I was just calling to tell you this."
"Okay, ma'am."
Not long after the phone call, Finnley's car was parked in the yard in front of Rowan's house.
He came because he was worried about Ivan.
In the room, Ivan made some arrangements about the company's affairs with Finnley. He didn't avoid Spencer, who was also in the room and looking up at the ceiling.
Even though some projects were confidential, Spencer wasn't interested in it at all.
He had taken the painkiller and was lying in bed casually.
In his mind, he kept replaying the moment when Ivan took the knife for him.
As he replayed it, he suddenly got a heavy heart.
Jennifer was on the phone with the director in the living room. "I'm sorry. I got caught up in something and I might have to ask for leave for a week. But I will return to work after that."
"It's okay, Ms. Brooks," the director said with a smile, "Everyone runs into emergencies. I feel honored enough that you would agree to do the dubbing for us."
Jennifer didn't say anything more. After thanking the director, she hung up the phone.
When Finnley left, Jennifer saw him off in the yard. "Thank you for taking care of the company's affairs for Ivan."
