Mitchell did not even have to think about notifying Eric’s family.
Quinn would only act anxious if she found out. If she came, she would cause trouble for Eric, so she might as well not come.
Chance was well-behaved, but he was too young, and he could not make any decisions for Eric. Eric also did not care about him.
Thus, Mitchell did not think about informing anyone.
After much deliberation, Mitchell decided to stay by himself.
He fell asleep on the sofa.
After a while, Mitchell forgot that Selena was also in the ward.
The next day, Eric woke up earlier than anyone.
Looking at the unfamiliar environment around him, Eric remembered what he saw when he was in the car last night, as well as his physical discomfort.
He was in the hospital.
Eric sat up, rubbed his temples, and sobered up. Just as he was about to call for someone, he saw that there was another hospital bed not far away from him. A familiar-looking woman was lying on the bed.
He froze for a moment. The next second, his face darkened.
Eric’s body started to exude a chill.
He rolled over and got out of bed with heavy eyes. After sleeping all night, his stomach felt much better. His hair hung over his forehead, which made him look lazy and unkempt.
As soon as he walked out, he saw that Mitchell was sleeping on the sofa outside. He frowned immediately, walked across the room, and sat down on the sofa.
Mitchell fell into a deep sleep.
However, Eric had a strong presence. He stood up and opened the curtains. When the light shone in, Mitchell instantly reacted.
His eyes snapped open.
“President?”
Eric responded with a deep voice. His eyes were dark as he glanced inside.
“What’s going on?”
His voice was low and hoarse.
Mitchell paused because he had forgotten about Selena.
“Um… After I filled up the registration form for you last night, I happened to meet her abusive husband outside, waiting to find trouble with her. I was afraid that she would die if I left her there, so I had to place her in here...”
Eric’s eyes darkened a little, and he rubbed his temples.
He stood up and said, “Get the discharge procedures done. I want to leave right away.”
“President, the doctor said that you can’t be discharged from the hospital for the time being because you need to stay for observation for two days. In the future, you have to eat regularly and stay away from alcohol...”
Just as Mitchell was about to endlessly convey the doctor’s instructions, Eric stopped him with a look.
How could he possibly stay away from alcohol?
Even if Eric was the CEO, he still had to socialize with others, especially with those bigwigs who were older than him and loved to put up a front. Thus, he had to drink with them.
Eric did not say much and went back to the office with his things.
He had more clothes to change into in the office than at home.
Thus, he had no intention of going home at all.
Mitchell sighed and could only follow.
Fortunately, Eric did not kick Selena out of his ward.
......
Nicole got up early in the morning and went to the office. After finishing her task at hand, she suddenly thought of Selena.
Selena was special.
Nicole always had a strange feeling about Selena. They looked somewhat similar, and Nicole could feel that they were curious about each other. It was natural and completely harmless.
Now that Selena was in the hospital, Nicole could not pretend not to know about it.
Julie and Nicole frequented the bar, so they would get acquainted with Selena in the future.
Nicole thought about it for a while and sent Julie a message, asking if she wanted to go to the hospital together.
