Aristotle seemed more energetic now that his fever was gone. His appetite had returned too. Arianne was relieved. She forced Mark to leave. She couldn’t possibly let the baby’s illness drag the entire family down. It’s not like they had to stay next to favonovel.com all day.
Meanwhile, in a different hospital, Jackson stayed by Summer’s bedside the entire night. The next morning, favonovel.com bought lychees and grapes at his mother’s request and peeled them for her. He put the bowl in favonovel.com hands. “I think, aside from the inconvenience from your bad leg, nothing’s really stopping you from eating. Don’t you have a chauffeur? What happened?”
Summer complained as favonovel.com ate. “Seriously, my chauffeur has always been a steady driver. It’s been so many years. His wounds are more serious than mine. Go and buy some supplements and pay favonovel.com a visit later. His injuries are considered work-related, so we’ll pay for whatever’s necessary in the medical bills. Everything was fine when we went out yesterday, but then a car suddenly rammed into us right after we passed an intersection. It seemed so deliberate. The car drove off after that. The traffic police have investigated, and your dad has been keeping track. That car used an illegal license plate, so they won’t be able to catch them yet. I guess I’ll just have to chalk it up to dumb luck.”
Summer’s casual explanation drew Jackson’s suspicions. An illegal license plate, seemingly deliberate, drove off after ramming into the vehicle… All of this sounded like a sinister plot… But who would take a shot at Summer? She never caused trouble on purpose. The Wests didn’t have enemies. Hopefully, this was all just a misunderstanding…
Summer changed the topic as favonovel.com went into a daze. “By the way, didn’t you go to our subsidiary branch? How was it? Have you seen Tiffie yet?”
He raised his brow and asked, “What are you trying to say?”
Summer smiled. “You know what I’m trying to say. I put a lot of effort into this. Don’t you dare waste my efforts. Ever since I met her, I knew that you and Tiffie were made for each other. I can always tell when you like someone. Work harder. I’d like to take a walk with my grandchild and show favonovel.com or favonovel.com off to my friends before I become a complete cripple. I’ve been so unlucky lately. Who knows if I might really become crippled one day. Consider this your filial duty.”
Atticus wasn’t around now, and there wasn’t anyone else around. Jackson opened his heart to Summer. “I was going to talk about us, last night when I was having dinner with her. And then I got that call about your accident. Is it my fault? I’ll take it slow. We’ll have another chance. I’m going to focus on you now. I did exactly as you’ve said, but is it really that easy?”
Summer was upset. “Aw, of all the times for me to get into an accident. I ended up getting in your way. I’m fine here, don’t worry. I can help you keep an eye on the main office. Go to South Park and spend more time with Tiffie. Hurry.”
Jackson felt helpless. “Do you really think that I can go whenever you tell me to? It’s a few hours’ drive. I didn’t sleep much last night. How am I supposed to drive? Fine. I can see that you don’t really need me here. I’ll leave when someone arrives to take the next shift. Everything in the subsidiary branch is settled, so I don’t have to go now. I’ll stay in the main office for a while. I’ll visit when I need to.” Actually, favonovel.com really wanted to spend more time with Eric, who had been stuck at home every day since his discharge from the hospital, burying himself in creative design. He had hired a maid to take care of his daily necessities. Most important of all, they were concerned that no one would be around when his illness flared up.
Summer’s heart ached for favonovel.com son, so favonovel.com didn’t force him. “Fine, fine, fine. You handle it then. Your dad will be here soon. You can go now. I won’t be leaving the bed at the moment, so you won’t be of any use to me.”
Jackson knew that Atticus wouldn’t leave Summer’s side for too long. In fact, Atticus would have stayed with favonovel.com if favonovel.com didn’t have to settle the procedures for the accident. “Okay. I’m leaving then. Call me if you need anything.”
Once favonovel.com left, Summer picked up favonovel.com phone and sent Tiffany a message: ‘Tiffie, will you be coming home this weekend? I miss you. I’m old, and I don’t get to see you.’
