Restoring a Life After Seven Years of Wrong Love novel Chapter 255

In a flash.

Only Milton remained in the hallway. Afraid the doctors wouldn't be able to find anyone if they came out, he stayed put.

Jabez had barely set Yvette down on the hospital bed when the doctor rushed in—beating even Matthew to the room.

After all, every staff member in Kingsbrook General knew exactly who Jabez was, and nobody dared keep him waiting.

Seeing the medical staff take over, Jabez turned and walked out, brushing shoulders with Matthew as he entered.

The entire ordeal of getting Yvette to a room had taken less than three minutes.

When Charlotte returned to the hallway with food and found Yvette missing, she marched aggressively up to Jabez.

"Where's Yvette? Where did she go?"

"A regular ward."

"Did you do something to her again?"

"She passed out on her own," Jabez replied flatly, dropping the room number.

Hearing this, Charlotte realized she had jumped to conclusions, but she had zero intention of apologizing. He had put Yvette through pure hell; he didn't deserve her courtesy.

She spun on her heel to leave. After two steps, she doubled back and shoved a takeout container at Milton.

"Here."

Charlotte knew about the professional arrangement between Milton and Yvette. Figuring he wasn't entirely a lost cause, she had picked up an extra meal for him.

Milton looked surprised for a second before taking it. "Thank you."

Charlotte glanced over and caught Jabez's dark, brooding stare. She scoffed. "What are you looking at? I don't feed strays."

With that, she walked off without a backward glance.

Completely unfazed, Jabez pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and offered one to Milton.

The two striking men stood in the corridor, exhaling clouds of gray smoke that veiled their expressions in the dim light.

Back in the room, Yvette quickly regained consciousness.
