Chapter 1118

Author: Lean
The fact that Westley was badly injured was something Frank only learned when Carter entered his ward again.

He had originally thought that it was just an injury to the back, which would make it difficult for him to get up.

But the next morning, Westley still couldn't get up on his own.

Jordan had not slept that night. She sat by the hospital bed, watching him.

The nurse had even asked her to keep track of the time.

Westley couldn't move and had to rely on a catheter.

At first, he wanted to send her away because of this.

He did all he could, yet she still insisted on staying.

But after taking some medicine, he fell into a deep slumber and lost any sense of embarrassment.

When he woke up and saw daylight, he quickly tried to get up.

He realized he couldn't.

Jordan had kept in mind what Carter had said the day before.

Carter was a skilled doctor, he was second to none in his field.

Although his attitude was cold, there was nothing unnecessary in his words.

She had to take e

    In the end, these two babbled for a long time, but there was no real point."Dr. Greyson, I want to ask, what is his condition?"Carter flipped through the medical records in his hands and asked Jordan, "What will you do with this information? Didn't you two get a divorce? Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with you."Jordan quickly said, "It does. He got injured because of me. If it weren't for me, I wouldn't be asking."Westley was rendered speechless.He saw the amusement that flickered in Carter's eyes.Such a feeling was hard to catch on Carter's face.Moreover, it flashed by so quickly.If it weren't for his sharp eyes, he wouldn't have noticed.‘Nosy bastard,’ thought Westley."If you have something to say, say it. If not, get out and stop acting mysterious." Westley had completely given up. "Even if you make my condition sound worse, I don't need my ex-wife to take care of me. Say whatever you want."The head nurse came looking for Carter, saying that the hos

    The second reaction was, could Leanne really take care of him? She was probably just going to send him off on his way to hell.The third reaction was that this might actually be a good opportunity.They could start over from scratch.The fourth...There was no fourth.Westley said, "If it were anyone else, I'd save them too. Jordan, you're not special to me, don't overthink it. Since we're divorced, let's not drag things on. This is what you want, and actually, it's what I want too. Just leave, let's keep some dignity between us. If I have someone ask you to leave, it won't look good. After all, we were once married. Let's just do this for the sake of our grandfathers who are watching over us."Jordan felt her nose tingle, her emotions rising, and the tears were starting to gather.She really didn't like to cry.Especially during confrontations and arguments. It really made her lose her strength.But after holding it back for so long, the tears still fell."I'm not crying bec

    "Well, Ross is sick."Forced to be sick, Ross was actually chiseling ice in the Arctic at that moment.Raymond was forced to accompany him.This was because Zachary was afraid Ross would cause trouble."You said that Mr. Collins wants to give Mrs. Collins an ice sculpture and wants to carve it himself, so he asked me to get ice for him. But this ice will melt by the time it reaches Jeswood, right? After all, summer is approaching."He had a brain, but not much of one.If Zachary wanted ice for a sculpture, he could have just frozen a batch in a storage unit.Making them go to the Arctic was purely a punishment.Unfortunately, Raymond had to suffer along with Ross.Raymond couldn't help but kick Ross. "Get to work! Mr. Collins is waiting for the ice!"Ross was happy chiseling ice, but without good food, he became unhappy again.Seeing him stop, Raymond urged him on.Ross simply tossed aside the iron chisel in his hand.Raymond, being a sensible person, immediately went to f

    Carter didn’t seem to expect him to ask such a question."My examination results show that you didn’t injure your brain."Westley took a deep breath. "I mean, if I can't get up, how do I walk to the bathroom?"Carter glanced at the catheter and understood."It can be removed today. After that, you can handle things in bed, have a family member push you in a wheelchair, or call a caregiver. You have plenty of subordinates who can help you."Westley’s breathing grew heavier, clearly on the verge of losing his temper."Just hurry up and fix me!"Carter closed the medical record, clipped his pen back into his pocket, and said indifferently, "I can’t. You need my sister-in-law for that.""Then call her.""I can’t reach her. My brother made her mad again. I don’t know where she is, and she blocked me."Westley had every reason to suspect that Carter was messing with him."I’ve never done anything to wrong you, have I?"Carter shook his head. "No. But everything I’m saying is the

    "Carter!"Westley finally lost his composure completely. "You’re really annoying. No wonder your sister doesn’t even want to acknowledge you."Carter was always cold-faced, but now, his expression grew even darker.The temperature in the ward seemed to drop several degrees.Jordan was so startled that she instinctively moved aside.Westley noticed, his gaze shifting to Carter, his expression also turning heavy."If you know where to strike, you should also know your limits."Carter turned and left without another word.Westley's eyes fell back on Jordan’s face, and his expression softened. "Did he scare you?"Jordan shook her head and sat down by the bedside.The nurse entered right after, removed the catheter, and gave Jordan some instructions.She memorized them carefully.Once the nurse left, she turned to Westley. "If something’s wrong, just tell me. Don’t let pride get in the way or feel ashamed about anything.""Just treat me like a caregiver."Westley’s Adam’s appl

    She thought about it and realized that saying too much to Westley was meaningless.He was injured because of her, and she was taking care of him—doing what she should."I've made my stance clear. I won't leave, no matter what you say. If you think I'm not professional enough, I can hire a caregiver and assist them. I don’t want to say anything else. Just rest. If you don’t want to rest, then wait for Buck to return with the food."Westley’s thin lips moved slightly, but in the end, he didn’t say a word.It wasn’t that he didn’t know what to say.Rather, he knew exactly what to say—but he couldn’t.Besides, with what she had already said, what was the point of saying anything more?"If you want to eat something, just tell Buck to buy it."But the next second, Jordan’s phone rang.It was a call from Jasmine.She answered, "What’s wrong?"Jasmine’s voice was filled with excitement. "Ms. Hickey, we’re going to Breckil! The monkey, the Saguinus—the Saguinus!"Jordan didn’t immed

    The ward door slammed shut.From that moment on, their worlds were completely separated."Jordan."Jordan happened to run into Jane, who had just arrived at the hospital."Your eyes are red. Were you crying?"Jordan shook her head. "I’m fine, Sis. I cry easily when I get emotional—tear incontinence."Jane nodded. "Have you eaten yet? Let’s go get something to eat.""Something sweet—it’ll lift your mood."Jordan nodded again.Since Jane wasn’t there to see Westley anyway, she linked arms with Jordan and walked away.Zachary was rendered speechless.He wanted to follow but was immediately shot a glare by Jane.With a change in his steps, he walked into the ward instead."Jordy!"Westley thought Jordan had returned. The composure he usually carried was completely gone, and his voice was filled with obvious panic and nervousness.Even when he had relapses of his illness, Zachary had never seen him this vulnerable."You pissed her off so much that she left?"Westley turned

    Jordan, concerned about Jane’s pregnancy, found a quiet restaurant for them to eat."Sorry, Jane, because of me, you almost got into trouble.""What does that have to do with you? Don’t be so polite with me all the time—we’re sisters."As Jane ordered her food, she added, "Your problems are my problems."Jordan was deeply moved.Sometimes, family bonds couldn’t be put into words.She and Jane hadn’t grown up together, yet when they met, everything just felt right. They clicked in every way.After their grandfather passed away and her love for Westley ended in failure, she thought she was destined to wander through life alone.But fortunately, fate hadn’t treated her too unfairly."Precisely because we’re real sisters, I’m afraid something might happen to you. I finally found my sister, and I want us to live to a hundred together."Jane flipped the menu and continued ordering. "We will. We’ll both live to a hundred. Now, pick what you want to eat."Jordan leaned in to look, f

    Caleb was thinking that in the future, he could let her drink a little more.Of course, only when he was around.She looked kind of cute like this."I did say that, but didn't you just say you wanted to thank me?"Whitney felt that alcohol really wasn't a good thing.Even when hanging out with Jane and the others, she decided not to drink too much anymore.The rationality and logic that she was so proud of had completely vanished.She had never been as calm in front of Caleb as she was with others.Besides, there was a power imbalance between her and him.If she were sober, she wouldn't have been able to reject him anyway.Let alone now, when her mind was muddled.But maybe because she was muddled, she dared to say things that she didn’t usually dare to say."I just lost my balance earlier, and you helped me. Even if you don't accept verbal gratitude, that doesn't mean I owe you something this big."Caleb saw she could barely stand, so he held her by the waist to keep her

    "But your reaction just now didn’t seem like you knew I was here."Jane tried to pull her leg back, but when she couldn't, she slapped him in frustration."It was called acting, understand? I didn't want you to look embarrassed, so I got those two out of the way first."Zachary rubbed her ankle with his thumb, as if he believed her. "Then should I be thanking you—for being so considerate?"Jane couldn't be bothered to argue. "Let go. I want to drink.""I'll drink with you."Meanwhile, Frank held Charlotte close and asked in a low voice, "Did she really know we were here?"Charlotte nodded. "What do you think? You really think Jane would mess around during her marriage? She might be bold, but she has boundaries. But you guys really are annoying."Frank hooked her chin with his thumb. "I knew it. You're being cold to me because you're sick of me. I've said it so many times, and you still wouldn't admit it."After saying that, he picked her up and walked out of the bar.He hadn'

    Charlotte nudged him with her elbow, warning him not to stir things up.Jordan truly didn't dare to stay any longer. "Westley, take me home.""Okay." Westley finally got up. "You all take your time. If it gets too late, don't go back to the old house—just find a place to crash.""But..." Jordan suddenly felt like leaving wasn't such a good idea. "Maybe I'll stay and play a bit more."Westley simply dragged her out."Jane and Zachary...""You can't control what they do, so why bother worrying over nothing?"Jordan was settled into the passenger seat, her seatbelt fastened firmly.She didn't resist, mostly because she felt what Westley said made sense.Jane was way more capable than she was. This kind of minor drama would be easy for her to handle.Plus, with the smart and composed Charlotte around—It was better if she didn't add to the chaos.Once Westley got into the driver's seat, she asked, "Why did you guys show up? Especially you—didn't you say no seeing each other a w

    But it was just a polite gesture—if they had been singing inside, they wouldn't have heard her anyway.So after knocking, she pushed the door open and went in.Charlotte and the others followed to take a look.When they saw the scene inside, they gasped.The four men from home were sitting around a cards table, all eyes on the door, each with a different expression.Zachary looked at Jane, who entered first, and said with a smile, "Honey, pick someone you like and give him a kiss."Jane took a step back and bumped into Charlotte's arms.That was when she noticed the big screen beside them—it was showing their own private room."You were watching us?"Zachary tapped the cards on the table with his long fingers, still smiling."If we weren't watching, how would we get to enjoy such an entertaining scene?"They had all been drinking.Whitney didn't hold her liquor well. She was already a little dazed. Although the room was fairly bright, everything seemed a little off to her.

    Caleb didn't respond. Instead, he looked at Westley and played a card.Westley won.And it was a big pot as well.He cocked his brows. "Is this your wedding gift to me, Caleb?"Caleb asked, "Your wedding—Dr. Greyson won't be absent, will he? I heard you two are very close. You've been at death's door multiple times, and he's the one who saved you."Westley nodded. "Theoretically, yes. But I'm not sure if he might have some emergency.""Besides, it's not like you, Caleb, can't reach him. You helped him last time. It's impossible he'd ignore you now."Caleb could contact Carter, but if he did, it would mean helping Carter meet Mandy.He had no interest in meddling in romantic matters—too troublesome.But he couldn't get in touch with Tanner at all.Technically, there was no real need for him to attend Westley's wedding.Even if Whitney was invited by Jane, he himself wasn't obligated.He simply wanted to go, hoping to "accidentally" run into Carter.That way, it wouldn't loo

    Frank pulled her into his arms and asked, "You really have to go out for drinks?"Charlotte nodded. "It's a girls-only night. No men allowed.""Oh?" The man repeated slowly and deliberately, "No… men… allowed?"Charlotte saw the look on his face and knew exactly what he was thinking."Only women. Even the drinks are for women.""Oh? Tell me, how do you tell if a drink is male or female?"Charlotte lightly patted his face twice. "The drinks women drink are for women. Got it?"Frank laughed. "Got it."Over on Jane's end, after finishing her call, she was about to go look for Jordan, but Zachary pulled her into the room and pinned her against the wall.His warm lips covered hers, then quickly pulled away.With his forehead against hers, the man asked, "Going out for drinks?"Jane hooked his chin with her finger. "What, Mr. Collins, trying to seduce your way into a drinking invitation?"Zachary chuckled lowly, kissed her again, and asked, "May I?""No."Jane rejected him comp

    Jordan had grown up in the Howard family, but the person who had taken care of her since she was little had an old house.She arranged for Jane and the others to stay there, and she would also be getting married from that house.She didn't have many friends. Originally, Leanne was supposed to be her bridesmaid. Although she had a child, she had never been married.But Leanne wasn't sure if she could make it back in time, so she let Jane and Charlotte take over as substitutes for now. They would adjust accordingly later."Try on the dress. If there's a problem, I can still make adjustments."With the help of the two of them, Jordan put on the wedding dress.But Jane was most looking forward to the wedding dress.Both her and Charlotte's weddings were going to be Cherian style.Jordan, however, wanted a Western-style one.And Charlotte, who had designed clothes for many years, had never actually designed a wedding dress before.This was her first attempt, and she was very excit

    "Okay, I won't bring it up anymore."Westley walked over with Jonathan and sat down.Miranda was very satisfied. "Finally, Jordy can have dinner with me again."Jordan smiled. "I'm also happy. I can still call you Mom.""Then let's drink to that.""Okay."Westley waited for the "mother and daughter" to finish speaking, then threw out a big announcement. "By the way, our wedding is on the 22nd of next month."Clang!The spoon in Miranda's hand fell."What did you say?""On the 22nd of next month, Jordy and I are getting married. We sincerely invite you and your husband to attend."Jordan was also shocked.She only knew that Charlotte's dress was being made, and they were picking the wedding date.But Westley hadn't told her about this in advance."Next month, it's almost the New Year.""Yes, it's a wedding before the New Year. Then we'll celebrate the New Year at home. I'm informing you in advance, my dear mom. You can prepare for the the New Year Eve dinner.""The New Y

    Jonathan almost spit out the tea he was drinking."You have principles now?""Not the right time to talk nonsense."Westley. "Do you always talk in a way that pokes others' pain points?"Jonathan smiled for a moment. "If you've done it, don't be afraid of people talking about it."Westley didn't want to continue the conversation and stood up to leave.He went to the kitchen to find Jordan and found her eating ravioli."Didn't you say you'd help?" Westley sat next to her. "How come you're eating secretly? Give me a bite?"Jordan guarded the food. "It’s in the kitchen. There's still plenty in the pot.""But I want to eat from your bowl.""But I don't want to give you any."Westley laughed. "Okay."But while Jordan took a bite of the ravioli, he kissed her.Jordan's eyes widened as she felt the ravioli in her mouth being stolen away."You're disgusting."Westley smiled. "Sweet."Jordan couldn't eat anymore and pushed the remaining ravioli to him. "I'm not eating anymore."
