Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 218

As Catherine and I stepped into Janetta's hospital room, we were astounded by the sheer number of

people gathered inside, giving off an ominous vibe.

Upon a closer look, I saw Irving was among them, surrounded by his posse.

Irving was facing off with Janice, the air between them sizzling with tension.

Janice, heavily pregnant, was seated on Janetta's bed while Irving was standing on the opposite, with a

young girl by his side. The girl was striking, with clear eyes, rosy lips, and a radiant smile. She bore a

striking resemblance to Janice.

It could only be Nettie Bradlee, Janetta and Irving's daughter.

Nettie wore a cold expression, her aloof demeanor making it unclear whose side she was on.

Irving turned to glance at us as we entered, nodding slightly in acknowledgment but remaining silent.

The tension made me uncomfortable and unsure of what to do.

However, seeing Geneva by Janice's side, I walked in confidently, approaching the bed to look at

Janetta.

Janetta lay motionless on the bed, her face pale, devoid of any signs of life.

Truth be told, if it weren't for the beeping machines by her bedside, one could easily mistake her for a

corpse.

The readings on the monitors were slightly below normal, showing no signs of her regaining

consciousness.

I took a step back, observing Irving decently dressed in a suit and polished shoes. Middle-aged, he had

started to develop a slight paunch, a sign of prosperity.

Irving and I went way back. When I was running my company, his pharmaceutical business was

booming.

Back then, Irving was a lean figure with sharp features that contrasted greatly with his current

appearance.

Irving was reasonably charming with big-sized features, although his face was a comparatively small. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

His bushy eyebrows and big eyes seemed out of place on his petite face.

Especially those eyes, they were dark and deep-set, giving an impression of two hollow pits.

Such eyes were bound to give off an air of mischief, regardless of his smile. Those eyes always

seemed cold, like they were hiding a secret.

I had a cordial relationship with Janetta, who ran a well-established hospital and had purchased some

equipment from me.

Given that we were both businesswomen, I had offered her a discount, and Janetta appreciated the

kind gesture. So, our friendship grew.

Janetta was a person with a deep sense of gratitude. She never let her friends suffer losses. If you

showed her the slightest kindness, she would repay it tenfold.

She had beautiful features which weren't conventionally attractive at a first glance, but her beauty grew

over time. But the woman lying motionless on the bed bore little resemblance to the Janetta I knew.

Later, after I handed over my company to Jaylan and fell ill, I lost touch with Janetta.

Life could be so unpredictable. I was unaware of her accident that left her in a vegetative state!

I was even more surprised that Irving had taken a new wife!

Irving, however, stayed close to Jaylan after I stepped down.

I learned about this from Janice after I woke up.

Seeing the standoff in the hospital room, I held my breath, silently observing the tension unfold.
