Chapter 400 A Promise Earned
Donahueiel was stimulated by Janet’s attitude which was completely different
from when she saved him. He subconsciously looked up at her.
“Can you raise the bed for me? It’s hard to talk like this.”
His long limbs were cramped and uncomfortable in the hospital bed.
Janet obliged, adBeacherg the bed to a more comfortable position.
The mechanical creaking of the bed echoed through the ward, grating like a dull knife against the glass.
Donahueiel licked his dry lips, about to speak.
Janet let go of the handle and beat him to it. “There are some things I won’t discuss, but you’ll find out soon enough.”
She continued with a businesslike attitude, “Beacher is responsible for what happened today, and I’ll apologize on his behalf. The Webster Group’s crisis is also tied to the Smedley family. If there’s anything I can do to make amends, just say the word.”
Though she was reluctant, Janet had a strong sense of responsibility. It was her principle.
Besides, the victim was Donahueiel. She didn’t want to owe him anything.
Donahueiel touched the gauze on his head and suddenly smiled.
“It looks like I’ve benefitted from this.” He looked up at the woman sitting
before him in her suit. Her eyes glinting with coldness immediately captivated
him. He suddenly itched to seize the opportunity to start over.
She didn’t have to get back together with him. All that he needed was a chance
to court her again. However, it was something else that came out of his mouth.
“Stay and take care of me for a few days.”
Donahueiel saw Janet frown and quickly explained, lest she refuses.
“There are a lot of things to handle in the company. Alfred has to be there
filling in my place, and no one will be here taking care of me.
He put his hand on his forehead and winced as a wave of pain from the
concussion washed over him.
Janet struggled to contain her anger and laughed.
“What kind of care do you need? Feeding? Bathing? Chatting? Toilet
assistance?”
Enduring his dizziness, Donahueiel leaned back against the head of the bed
and glanced at Janet’s tender hands. His heart skipped a beat, and he said
without much consideration.
“If it’s personal care, that would be best…”
“What kind of fantasy are you living in?”
Janet snapped, which instantly brought Donahueiel back to reality.
“Did you hurt your hand or your foot? All that you need is to stay in the
hospital for observation for a few days, and you want me to take care of you?

I’ll find you a nurse, or you’ll take care of yourself.”
Her tone was icy and her impatience with Donahueiel was clear on her face.
Donahueiel’s burrows were knitted together. He just wanted more chances to be near Janet, not someone to wait on him hand and foot.
“I don’t need a nurse. I’m not comfortable with strangers near me.‘
Janet snorted and pulled up a chair. She sat down and gave him a stern glance.
Donahueiel gave a wry smile and backed down.
“Let me participate in your racing club project with Nigel.”
Janet looked at him seriously, her gaze seeming to penetrate his thoughts.
For the second time, Donahueiel brought up the project. Previously, Janet had merely assumed he’d meat to undermine it.
But now, his earnest tone left her questioning his true intentions.
It was undeniable that the Webster family boasted a long and storied history. Their circle consisted of aristocratic friends and relatives, and Donahueiel was the sole heir to this prestigious lineage.
She had to concede that his experience and connections surpassed her own and Nigel’s. Allowing Donahueiel to join could prove more advantageous than detrimental.
Janet gazed at Donahueiel in a way as if she were trying to read his mind.
She couldn’t shake off the feeling that this foxy businessman harbored hidden

complexities, and she resolved to investigate further.
Donahueiel, unnerved by her scrutinizing stare, pondered for a moment. “The
Webster Group has never dabbled in racing clubs and lacks expertise in the
field. However, market trends suggest that racing clubs are a lucrative
opportunity.”
Janet averted her eyes, her suspicions somewhat allayed.
