Susan was really confused by what Jarvis was saying so she could only blink at him while her mind raced to put together what had actually happened last night.
No matter, whatever effort she was putting in didn’t yield any result. Everything was a blur in her mind.
She felt like she had just woken up from a dream, and she could recall every detail of that dream the moment she awakened from it, but when she tried to retrieve those facts now, she found it impossible to recall anything to her disbelief.
Susan couldn’t help but knitting her brows.
Jarvis simply stared at her and his handsome face was icy cold. He continued to watch her for a long time without saying a word.
He repeated his words after letting out a sigh, “Leave Edward now.”
Susan was expecting something else, yet in the end he was just reiterating himself. She almost stifled a laugh.
“Whether I leave him or not, that is my own business. Anyway, why did you end up saving my life last night?”
Susan really wanted to clear up the confusion.
“Your mother’s experimental surgery is going to be carried out a week later. From the looks of things now, your mother’s condition is worsening.”
At the mention of work, Jarvis returned to his normal self.
When Susan registered this news in her mind, she couldn’t hide the sadness on her face. She tried her best not to show any trace of emotion as she said simply, “Can I go now? If you don’t have any business with me, I want to see my mother now.”
Jarvis nodded and gave way to Susan. Susan opened the door and before she could break into a run, she saw Stanley standing next to the door. After greeting him with a nod, she darted off.
Stanley let out a sigh after making sure she was gone. He glanced at Jarvis and immediately scolded him, “You’re useless.”
After saying that, with a smile hanging on his face, he finally left the hospital too.
Susan visited her mother once again in her ward, and from her mother’s face, she was still deep in a coma. The only difference was that her vitals seemed to be worsening and dwindling away. The more Susan watch her mother, the worse her mood became.
When she found that she couldn’t bear to watch her any longer, she decided to leave the ward for now. She originally wanted to exit the hospital, but when she was at the entrance, she saw a man dressed immaculately in suits waiting for her.
Susan looked at this man with doubt in her eyes. This man was Edward’s driver, Reece.
“What’s the matter?”
Susan immediately concealed her sadness as he approached Reece and asked him.
Reece nodded in her direction before answering, “Mrs. Ford, Mr. Ford informed me that his car was missing, so he asked me to look for it. I found that it was crashed onto a barrier by a mountain path, and according to the security guard of the Banya villa, he said that he had witnessed you driving Mr. Ford’s car last night.”
Susan frowned upon hearing that. She had no memory of such happenings at all.
Reece continued, “Mr. Ford is worried that something has happened to you, so he sent his men to locate your whereabouts and that is when we found you here. He then instructed me to come over.”
Therefore, his driver was her to make sure she was safe.
Susan put on a faint smile and said, “You can go back now and tell Edward that I am fine. There is nothing wrong with me.”
When he heard that, Reece finally felt relieved. He gave her another piece of advice, “If it’s not a bother, please make a call to Mr. Ford and make things clear. He was very worried about you.”
“Alright.”
Susan promised him, but just as she had said that, there was another voice coming from behind her, “Worried?”
