Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 225

I rushed out of Janetta's ward, a whirlwind of urgency, seeking out Dr. Dailey. My gut was telling me

that the doctor hadn't been completely honest with me about Janetta's condition.

Sure enough, upon seeing me, Dr. Dailey greeted me with a warm and knowing smile. "You figured it

out, didn't you?" he asked.

"Really? Is she awake?" I asked hastily, my heart pounding with anticipation.

"Yes, she is awake. She's currently just sleeping normally," Dr. Dailey confirmed without hesitation.

My heart soared with relief. “What wonderful news! How is she doing, though? Are her vital signs all

right?”

"She's doing quite well. She's lucid, although her body's functions, which have been dormant for a long

time, will need some time to fully recover. But I believe she'll adapt quickly and be ready for a normal

life soon," Dr. Dailey reassured me. "What happened to her?"

I briefly explained Janetta's situation to Dr. Dailey, who listened with a grave expression.

"Good Lord, what a mess. Was that her ex-husband by the door earlier?"

"Yes, he's the big shot at Elixir Pharma Limited. I'm worried that Janetta's attending doctor will..." I

trailed off, feeling uncomfortable suggesting any impropriety. I'd just exposed a lab technician for

misconduct earlier that morning. And I didn’t have the heart to accuse another medical professional of

bearing ill intentions.

Dr. Dailey seemed to understand where I was going with my statement. "Your concerns aren't

unfounded," he said solemnly. "That's why, in the emergency room earlier, I instructed all medical staff

involved to keep Janetta's awakening a secret. I don't think they'll disobey my orders."

I suddenly realized why the other doctor's report to Irving matched Dr. Dailey's. He had given the order.

"As long as this stays under wraps until she's awake enough to see her sister, we're golden."

"I'll handle this," Dr. Dailey assured me confidently. "I'm quite familiar with her attending doctor."

I understood his implication immediately. He must have some leverage over Janetta's attending doctor.

"I'll go check on her sister's condition," I said, bidding Dr. Dailey goodbye and heading to the maternity

ward.

Stepping out of the elevator, I bumped into Catherine.

"How's Janice?" I asked anxiously, grabbing her by the arm.

Catherine looked shaken. “I was just coming for you. Thank God! It happened in a hospital and could

be taken care in time. Otherwise, it would've been too late..."

"Get to the point!" I couldn't contain my impatience.

"She went into premature labor. It's a boy. They are both safe... I suppose."

"What do you mean 'you suppose'?" I asked, not quite calm. I pressed the elevator button, pulling her

with me. "Let's go. I need to see for myself."

Catherine hurriedly explained, "Well, we barely managed to save them in time. The baby needed From NôvelDrama.Org.

resuscitation, but he's out of danger now and in an incubator. Janice lost a lot of blood and is currently

receiving a transfusion. She's a bit weak and unconscious."

"Talk about a silver lining," I muttered, patting my chest as the elevator doors opened.

"How did you get out?" Catherine asked, sounding worried. "Who's watching Janetta?"

"Hannah's in the room, and Irving and his daughter have left. Janetta's awake," I shared the good news

with Catherine.

Catherine clapped her hands in joy. "That's wonderful! Janice was worried about her, even when she

was coming in and out of consciousness."

Hearing her talk about Janice like this made my heart ache.

We continued our conversation as we made our way towards Janice's room.

Her room was spacious and cozy, almost hotel-like. Janice lay on the bed, receiving a transfusion. Her

face was still deathly pale, and she was unconscious.

A man was seated by her bed, holding her hand with a painful expression. He gently kissed her hand,

his affection for her clear. I didn't need to ask to know this was Janice's husband, Baber.

Upon hearing us, Geneva quickly turned around and came over. "Aaliyah, how's everything on your

end?"

Baber, hearing the noise, turned to look and then stood up. It was my first time to see Baber, and

honestly, I felt a little disappointed.
