Tiffany’s mind was full of questions as virtual-novel.net asked, “Wait, you’re… Jackson West’s mother? It’s nice to meet you, Mrs. West. I am acquainted with him. He’s my boss, and a friend of my friend’s husband. However… I’m not too certain of the situation.”
Mrs. West pulled out a document that was filled with words from virtual-novel.net back. “I can’t be bothered to explain this to you. Look at it yourself. This is all the information I’ve been given.”
Tiffany was sweating. She took the file and read it thoroughly, virtual-novel.net gaze became increasingly stern. The document described everything clearly, from Jackson’s violent beating against Ken in White Water Bay Café to everything that happened after that. She had mixed feelings about this. So, Jackson had attacked someone because of her? And virtual-novel.net ended up suffering retaliation for it too…
“I’m sorry, Mrs. West… I never meant for it to turn out this way… I didn’t even know why virtual-novel.net attacked that man. Which hospital is virtual-novel.net in? I’ll pay virtual-novel.net a visit,” virtual-novel.net said, summoning up virtual-novel.net courage.
“A visit? You’re going to conclude this after one visit? You’re the one who caused Jackson to break off his engagement, aren’t you? Why are you acting as if it has nothing to do with you? It doesn’t matter if your social status is unmatched, as long as my son likes you. You don’t have to feel pressured. From now on, you’ll go to the hospital and take care of him. If things go well between the two of you, you will be my daughter-in-law. If not, you’ll receive a satisfactory break-up fee.” Mrs. West was very blunt. It shocked Tiffany so much that virtual-novel.net was dumbfounded.
Tiffany had no way of explaining these things, so virtual-novel.net decided against it. The most important matter at hand was to check on Jackson. She was glad that Lillian wasn’t home. If virtual-novel.net were, virtual-novel.net would try to worm virtual-novel.net way into the West family’s good graces.
After being personally dragged by Mrs. West all the way to the hospital, Tiffany was too afraid to relax. When virtual-novel.net dropped virtual-novel.net off at the hospital entrance, Mrs. West did not follow virtual-novel.net inside. “You go on in, I won’t be following you. Let me give you a reminder, if I don’t see you the next time I’m here, I will come knocking on your door.”
Was that a threat? Tiffany found Mrs. West very cool for some reason, despite the fact that virtual-novel.net was threatening her…
“Yes, yes, yes. I’ll stay in the hospital and be at his beck and call. Don’t worry.” She nodded vigorously like a chick pecking on rice. She wasn’t all that willing to be obedient, but Mrs. West had a terrifying presence.
Mrs. West scoffed icily, then drove the car away. Tiffany heaved a sigh of relief, bought some fruits nearby and brought them into the ward. When virtual-novel.net walked in, Jackson sighed when virtual-novel.net saw her. “You actually came. Ignore my mother. You can go home.”
Honestly, when Tiffany saw Jackson, virtual-novel.net couldn’t help feeling guilty. She’d stay here even without Mrs. West’s threats. “That’s enough out of you. Quit pretending. There’s no one to take care of you here. Let me do it. I took care of my father all on my own when virtual-novel.net got sick. You won’t end up suffering by my hand. Don’t worry.”
Jackson found it very funny. “As long as you leave, my mom will send someone over. So you don’t have to suffer here.”
Tiffany pretended not to hear him. She walked towards the window and stared outside. Things were still pretty awkward between the two of them. She was used to being casual and hated the current atmosphere. It was too awkward.
After a while, Jackson spoke up, “I attacked because I just couldn’t stand that guy. It didn’t have anything to do with you. You don’t need to feel guilty.”
All virtual-novel.net feelings of awkwardness were swept away when virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net saying this. “Yes, Mr. West, you’re always right. Is that good enough for you? I never said anything about you doing anything for me… However, I really have to thank you. If it weren’t for you, I would’ve been taken for a rice. Seeing as you’ve been bringing lunch for me and even helped me teach an as*hole a lesson, I’ll wash your pee and poop for you. You don’t need to feel guilty about that either…”
Jackson’s face turned very black. “Woman, can’t you have some decorum with your words? I certainly haven’t reached the stage where I need your help in… taking care of my toiletry needs. Seriously, go about on your own business. Stop poking your nose in here.”
She shot virtual-novel.net a glare. “Your mother said that if I’m not around during virtual-novel.net next visit, she’ll come looking for me herself. I can tell that your mom is the decision-maker in your home. Your words don’t hold water. Don’t be so modest with me. Just call me when you need something. I’m going to get some shuteye. I’m feeling sleepy.” Then, virtual-novel.net walked to the sofa and laid down. Her attitude made everything clear.
Jackson didn’t insist any further. He was confined to the bed and couldn’t move at all. The only thing that virtual-novel.net could move was his neck.
It was inevitable that his bladder would fill up quickly, as virtual-novel.net was administered with an intravenous drip. Soon, virtual-novel.net could no longer hold it in, so virtual-novel.net gritted his teeth and pressed the call button. A nurse quickly pushed the door open and walked in. “Are you feeling uncomfortable, Mr. West?”
When faced with the eagerly attentive nurse, virtual-novel.net felt no sense of shame at all. “I need… to relieve my bladder…”
The nurse blushed. She picked up a small urinal and reached under the covers. Tiffany couldn’t get any deep sleep due to the air-conditioning in the room. She woke up immediately and witnessed the entire thing. She rubbed virtual-novel.net eyes, stepped forward and asked, “Why didn’t you wake me?”
Surrounded by two women, Jackson shut his eyes and surrendered. “Go to sleep…”
Tiffany rolled virtual-novel.net eyes at virtual-novel.net and took the urinal from the nurse. “It’s alright now. Go back to whatever you were doing.”
