Veild Bride : Love From An Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 138

“Actually…” He said softly, “Actually, it was Michael who had saved you and sent you to the hospital.”

Violet frowned slightly with a trace of shock flashing through her eyes.

The reason why Jack told her the truth was that she would know it sooner or later.

The man’s eyes were deep while his voice was gentle as he said, “Fortunately, he was there then, or the consequence would be unthinkable.” He was very grateful to Michael.

“Why was it him?” Violet murmured and asked, still feeling incredible.

He thought, “Well, why was it him?”

Jack had also asked himself, “Why didn’t I show up first when she fell in danger?”

There was a short silence in the ward.

Violet suddenly sensed something wrong with her question, which could easily cause misunderstandings. So she changed the way immediately and asked, “I mean why he was there at that time.”

“Because he intended to meet the client at exactly 2 p.m. in the clubhouse.”

Violet was shocked and said, “So he stood his client up?”

They looked at each other and Jack said gently, “Don’t think too much about it. I will deal with such issues.”

At this moment, his phone rang. He looked at it and obviously hesitated for a moment.

“Who was it?” The girl asked nervously, “Did the project get screwed up?”

Jack looked up at her and Violet said, “Please answer it. If you think it inconvenient to answer it here, you can do it outside.”

“It’s not inconvenient.” The man pressed the answer button and gently put the phone close to his ear, “Mr. Cook.” He didn’t avoid it.

“Mr. Yancey, I have signed a contract with Grande Group on this project, so you can just forget it from now on.” James was in a good mood as he raised his voice and said, “You are very busy, but I don’t have a spare moment either. I’ve been waiting for you for an hour and a half but was stood up twice. So where’s the integrity of your Yancey Group?”

The ward was extremely quiet. Although Jack didn’t turn on the speakerphone, Violet could still hear the man’s words clearly.

She saw Jack’s deep eyes get deeper, which made it difficult for people to see through his mind.

“I did encounter some emergencies.” Jack whispered, “It’s your choice to sign a contract with Grande Group. Congratulations.” After saying that, he hung up and didn’t want to hear any nonsense from the other end.

Violet’s heart suddenly sank, as she looked at him sadly, saying, “Did the project get screwed up?”

“I’m not optimistic about it from the beginning.” He said indifferently and then dialed another number. His eyes suddenly became gentle as he said, “Zoey, please bring some chicken soup to the hospital. I will send the floor and room number to your WhatsApp.”

“Mr. Yancey, what’s wrong with you?!” Zoey’s breath paused as she said very anxiously.

“I’m fine. It is Violet who got injured and was in hospital now.” Jack said softly, “Don’t tell Grandpa in case he would get worried.”

“Is Ms. Yeager seriously injured?” Although it was not Mr. Yancey, Zoey was worried as well.

He looked at the girl sitting in the hospital bed and whispered, “Fortunately, she’s awake.”

“I’ll cook soup right away! And I’ll send it to the hospital right away!” Zoey said and moved in a hurry.

“Okay, thank you.”

After the call, Jack put away his phone and looked at her with a smile. “The chicken soup made by Zoey is very nutritious and tastes good. You surely want some more after drinking it.”

“How much profit can you make from this project?” Violet was concerned about this question, “I just want to know.”

Seeing that she was so concerned about it, Jack regretted telling her the truth.

Violet stared at him for a moment and said, “Tell me!”

“Why?” He joked with her, “Are you going to compensate for it?”

She withdrew her eyes and sighed slightly. It was said that no matter what projects the Yancey Group invested in, it only focused on the profitability and significance, instead of the corporate scale; they would never invest in any projects with a profit of less than 20 million dollars.

So it meant that they suffered a loss of 20 million dollars?

Jack observed her expression and understood what she was thinking about at the moment. “Don’t think too much about it, okay? You need a good rest, or you’ll have a migraine in the future.”

“Will you blame me for this?” She asked lightly.

“Why should I blame you?” Jack said, “It was I who brought you into trouble. If it wasn’t for me, would they kidnap you?”

That sounded… reasonable.

Violet was worried that something like this would happen again in the future, so she said, “Do you have time now? I want to talk with you about the kidnappers. Maybe I can provide some clues.”

“Can you listen to me on this matter? Just have a good rest. Those people will be found out sooner or later.” He said with an inexplicably cold tone.

But she said unhappily, “Do you think I want to talk about it? If you find out who they are as soon as possible, we can be on guard.”

She was simply worried about him, as she cared about him so much, which she didn’t hide at all but showed so obviously.

This made Jack feel better inexplicably, although he didn’t show up immediately when she fell in danger.

“Were they sent by your rivals?” She was still thinking about it as she said, “Or were they sent by your stepmother?” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Both are possible.” Jack frowned slightly and said, “I’ll send a bodyguard to protect you in the future. Anyway, such things will never happen again.

“No.” Violet didn’t want to be watched by him, “Just stay away from me. If I had nothing to do with you, then how would I get involved in your business?”

“What did she mean by saying ‘just stay away from me”?”

At this moment, the door of the ward was knocked.

Jack turned around and said, “Please come in.”

A middle-aged male doctor with a precision medical kit entered the ward. He was tall and elegant, saying, “Mr. Yancey.”

“Dr. Gordon, you are so fast!” Jack was very kind to him as he said, “Hurry up and give her an examination. Her forehead and ankle got injured, and her right wrist got a slight fracture.”

“Okay.” Zachary put down the kit and opened it calmly. “Does it hurt, Ms. Yeager?” He had seen her before and thus remembered her.

“You’d better not move.”

He was not a doctor in this hospital, but a private doctor of the Sions, the richest family in Sayside City. He was the world’s most famous medical genius who specialized in developing some specific medicine without any side effects to save people from suffering.

Violet felt that he was very kind from his expression, “Dr. Gordon, thank you for coming from afar.”

While Zachary was sorting out the medical kit, he looked up at her with a smile.

Then he used the instruments to examine her whole body and check her pulse. Jack stayed in front of the bed all the time. With Zachary here, he was quite relieved.

Ten minutes later…

Zachary took out a bottle of small pills and handed it to Jack, along with a spray, and then told him the usage and dosage.

“It takes effect and relieves the pain in one hour. The scars on your forehead can also be removed, but please don’t use them until the wound heals. This spray is quite effective and can be used on your wrists and ankles.”

“Are they newly developed by you?”

“Yeah, I haven’t traveled abroad recently, because I have been developing this new medicine all these days.” Zachary was about to leave with his kit and said, “Bye.”

“Thank you very much.”

“You’re welcome.”

Violet watched Dr. Gordon leave. When Jack turned his head, they looked at each other gently again and the whole world suddenly became quiet. He gave her a warm smile.
