In the inpatient department of the high-end hospital, Coralie removed the gauze and checked her forehead.
Great relief suffused her when she found no scar marring her countenance.
She waited for Jonathan to arrive.
Heh! I more or less know his weakness. As long as I take the initiative, I'll be able to attain my goal sooner or later.
A faint smile curved her lips.
All of a sudden, her phone rang. Upon seeing that it was a call from Jonathan, she reckoned that he had probably arrived at the hospital.
She planned to play some trick later to draw closer to the man.
As soon as she had answered the phone, Jonathan's voice drifted out. “I'm really sorry, but I don't think I can go over to pick you up from the hospital today, Ms. Crawford. If you truly can't find anyone to help you out, can you arrange to be discharged tomorrow?”
Coralie was caught off guard, never having expected the man to abruptly go back on his word.
Her temper instantly spiked, and she snapped with displeasure written all over her face, “In that case, forget it! I can get discharged from the hospital by myself!”
After saying that, she furiously hung up the phone.
She felt sure that Jonathan would undoubtedly call her back to explain since she had pulled the same tactic on many men, and it had worked every time.
Alas, her phone remained silent even after she waited for a long time, which was about three minutes. Jonathan did not call her back.
In a flash, she realized that her brother's appearance yesterday was a grave mistake, for Jonathan's attitude toward her had changed in a split second.
Ultimately, she could only grit her teeth and do the packing herself.
At the same time, Jonathan was driving Madilyn to the hospital.
Madilyn initially wanted to tell him that she was in pain because she was on her menstruation. At his solemn expression, however, she inexplicably could not bring herself to turn him down.

GREAT! Chapter 1970 was actually a repeat of Chapter 1770! And the same up to 1976! Now Ive missed 6 chapters and no idea what is happening! Plus all those sections that are badly typed then typed again and then again correctly……what a waste of “chapters”....
Wish there was more to the story, like how the triplets end up and if the twins are as smart as their older siblings. Beautiful story 😊...
