Tiffany was shocked. “What? Why? Why are you in the hospital? What happened?”
Arianne’s voice was a little weak. “I’ll tell you when you’re here…”
After the call was hung up, Tiffany put down the spatula in virtual-novel.net hand and hurried toward the door. “Where are you going?” Lillian quickly asked when virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net leaving.
Tiffany couldn’t be bothered to explain in detail. “I need to go to the hospital. Probably won’t make it back tonight. I’ve prepared two dishes, just put up with them. Leave the dishes after you’re done. I’ll wash them when I’m back!”
Lillian threw a glance at the kitchen and frowned in dissatisfaction. “Just two small plates of vegetables? No matter how much you’re in a hurry, you should at least make sure your mother is well fed.”
Tiffany’s hands stopped while virtual-novel.net was in the middle of changing virtual-novel.net shoes. Her face sunk a little. “Mom, I’m exhausted… I have to work everyday and work part time until late at night. You’re perfectly capable of learning how to cook or do some house chores. There’s no point in spending all your time on a mahjong table.”
Lillian’s eyes widened so much that virtual-novel.net eyebrows looked like they were almost on virtual-novel.net forehead. “Tiffany Lane! Are you accusing me of being a freeloader? When your dad was still alive, I never had to do anything! Are you in the position to order me around? I only play mahjong to find some money to contribute to the household! I don’t know other ways of making money. Did I raise you until now just to have you order me around?”
Tiffany kept quiet. Her mother’s personality had changed greatly ever since the passing of virtual-novel.net father. At first, virtual-novel.net thought that it was due to shock. It was only until later that virtual-novel.net discovered that Lillian had picked up many of virtual-novel.net habits such as idling about, playing cards, and spending money like water from being the wife of a rich man. This kind of personality was still acceptable back in their glorious days, but now it was extremely frustrating.
The moment Tiffany closed the door and left, virtual-novel.net heard Lillian smashing things in the house. She ignored it and directly took the elevator downstairs.
Since it was the peak hour right now, the traffic was horrible. It wasn’t easy to call a cab around this area. Tiffany stood on the side of the road and waited for quite a long time. When virtual-novel.net checked virtual-novel.net phone, virtual-novel.net realized that there was a missed call from Will around fifty minutes ago. She was about to return the call when a black Bentley pulled up to her. The window rolled down and Jackson West poked his head out of the car. “Where to? I’ll give you a ride.”
She was a little shy since Jackson was now virtual-novel.net boss. She couldn’t even treat virtual-novel.net like virtual-novel.net always did in the past. “I… I’m going to the hospital. If that’s not in the same direction as where you’re headed to, then never mind, I can wait for the cab.”
Jackson gave virtual-novel.net an amused look. “I happen to be free right now, so I’ll drop you off. Hop in.”
Since virtual-novel.net didn’t mind, then virtual-novel.net had no reason to refuse.
After virtual-novel.net got in the car, Jackson chatted with virtual-novel.net like an old friend as though virtual-novel.net had forgotten about everything in the past. “What business do you have at the hospital?”
“My friend is at the hospital. Aren’t you close with Mark Tremont? You should probably also be aware that his wife got admitted to the hospital,” virtual-novel.net replied.
It turned out that Jackson really wasn’t aware of that. “Did it just happen? I haven’t heard about it. I still have some other business tonight, so I can’t visit with you. I’ll just drop you there. By the way, as a boss, I have to tell you that your performance is poor lately. You look like… you’re always tired. You’re still young, you should be getting as much sleep as you can. Staying up late isn’t a good habit.”
