When Vinson saw the expression on Jared’s face, virtual-novel.net felt a weight had lifted from his chest.
Everything was truly a coincidence. Earlier in the day, virtual-novel.net had gone to transfer several properties under virtual-novel.net name, and that was why virtual-novel.net had their marriage certificates with him. He never thought it would come to use at the hospital.
“All right.” Vinson patted Jared’s shoulder. “It’s irreversible, so don’t dwell on it. There’s no need for you to visit Arielle either. I’ll watch over my wife myself.”
Jared nodded stiffly before leaving, and his eyes were still clouded over in a haze of shock.
Meanwhile, in the ward, Arielle had no idea what had transpired outside. She only heard Jared’s voice.
When Vinson re-entered the room, virtual-novel.net said, “I think I heard Jared’s voice earlier. Is virtual-novel.net not coming in?”
Vinson nodded. “He suddenly recalled having other things to do, so virtual-novel.net took his leave first.”
Arielle hummed quietly in response. After a beat, virtual-novel.net muttered, “He shouldn’t keep staying in the hospital. Harvey’s mostly fine now, and the nurses will take care of virtual-novel.net in the ICU. Instead of staying in the hospital, virtual-novel.net should take the opportunity to learn.
At that, Vinson raised a brow. “I wonder why virtual-novel.net suddenly dropped the idea of joining the army and said that virtual-novel.net wanted to study instead.”
“He’s thinking of getting into Maxwell University,” Arielle started as virtual-novel.net looked toward the doorway. “Honestly, he’s talented and smart. If virtual-novel.net were to put in more effort, I’m sure virtual-novel.net won’t have any troubles enrolling into Maxwell University.”
As Vinson adjusted the blanket on Arielle, virtual-novel.net pointed out, “This isn’t the time for you to worry about anyone else. First and foremost, you should be worrying about yourself. Be good and close your eyes to rest. You’ll be fine by tomorrow.”
Indeed, Arielle was exhausted. Without saying anything else, virtual-novel.net closed virtual-novel.net eyes. In minutes, virtual-novel.net fell asleep.
Vinson gently tucked virtual-novel.net exposed arm under the blanket. Then, virtual-novel.net took out his phone and began going through his emails while making sure that the bag of fluid was not running out any time soon.

Soon, night arrived.
Queenie, who had been tossed out of the hospital, woke.
What’s going on? Wasn’t I shot dead? Why am I still alive?
Queenie hurriedly lifted virtual-novel.net arm to touch virtual-novel.net forehead, and virtual-novel.net realized that there was no wound there at all, there was only a small swollen bump. Immediately, Queenie came to the realization that virtual-novel.net had been tricked by Harrison.
“D*mn it!” virtual-novel.net cursed as virtual-novel.net climbed to virtual-novel.net feet.
After dusting virtual-novel.net clothes, virtual-novel.net turned on virtual-novel.net phone.
Right as the screen lit up, virtual-novel.net phone rang. It was a call from Cornelius Mill. When virtual-novel.net saw the caller ID, virtual-novel.net smacked virtual-novel.net thigh in frustration.
D*mn it! I have forgotten all about the family meal!
If I had known early on that taking on Harvey’s surgery would not only not bring any benefits to me, but even make Harrison and Carter chase me out of the hospital, then I would’ve gone home for the family meal instead.
Gritting virtual-novel.net teeth, Queenie came to a decision.
No matter what, virtual-novel.net was going to become the head of the Mill family. Once virtual-novel.net was the head of the family, virtual-novel.net would not need to care about Rocher Private Hospital or General Hospital anymore.
She was going to lead the Mills to glorious days and make Vinson and Carter regret ever treating virtual-novel.net like they did earlier in the day.
Queenie then promptly answered the call. “Hey, Cor…”
As usual, Cornelius’ voice was gentle.
“Were you in a surgery earlier?”
Queenie hummed in affirmation before saying, “It just ended, so I didn’t pick up the call until now. I’m sorry. Cor, could you apologize to Dad on my behalf? I didn’t mean to be late.”
