After bringing Jenna to the otolaryngology department and finding the department head, they performed a CT scan of her throat, conducted a detailed examination, and asked her to try speaking.Jenna still could not make any sound.“Weird. Your vocal cords and mucous membranes don't show any signs of swelling or congestion, so why can't you speak?" The doctor was also puzzled as it was his first time encountering this situation. “I’ll prescribe two boxes of oral liquid for you to drink. After you finish it, come back to see me again."Jenna nodded.After leaving the otolaryngology department, Jacob accompanied Jenna to get her medicine.Then, he spoke. “Jenna, we might need your blood again.”Jenna was stunned. She then showed him her phone. [Isn’t there a rule that states a person can only donate blood once every six months? I donated three hundred milliliters last time. Wasn’t that enough?]“Yes, but if you are healthy, you can still donate after some time.” Jacob rubbed his n
Jenna took out the composition she had written yesterday and tried playing it.She knew the tune when she composed the piece but could not hear it directly. Now, the lively music that flowed from the expensive violin was like a musical feast in her ears.Since Jenna learned to play the violin, she had clumsily written several pieces. However, they were all terrible.Perhaps she was in a great mood when she wrote this, or because she had invested her emotions, the composition sounded melodious. Listening to it, Jenna was lost in its enchanting rhythm. However, she was only satisfied with the first half of the piece.The melody of the second half felt off, and something seemed amiss no matter how she listened to it.Jenna sat cross-legged and scribbled in her notebook, amending the piece. After a few tries, she still felt unsatisfied. “Miss, I think it sounds good.” Aunt Lily walked into the living room with a plate of fruits.Seeing Jenna’s furrowed brows, she said, “I used to
Jenna smiled. Her conversation with Aunt Lily had inspired her. She took her notebook and pen and started amending the second half of her piece confidently.Seeing that she was busy, Aunt Lily quietly left.When Quinn came home in the evening, Jenna had finished revising the latter half of her composition.She would record it in a recording studio when she is free.Jenna threw a sea salt bath bomb into the bathtub, creating a shallow layer of light blue water. It felt like she was soaking in the sea.She leaned over the edge of the bathtub with her chin propped up, looking at the shower just a few meters away from her.Quinn was showering, and the water flowed down his body, landing at his feet. Jenna’s gaze swept over his body with laser focus. He indeed had a great body…Quinn dried the water droplets on his body and came out of the shower with a towel wrapped around his lower body. He saw Jenna staring at him as soon as he turned around.He paused while drying his hair and
The next morning, Jenna changed into a gray professional suit. As she wore a short skirt with stockings, it was hard for her to bend down.When she changed her shoes at the entrance, she pointed to a pair of black satin high heels and looked at Quinn with watery eyes.Quinn stared at her for two seconds before giving in. He crouched down, picked up a high heel, and held her dainty foot as he helped her into the high heels.Jenna could see the man’s hair when she looked down, a slight smile forming at the corner of her lips.After Quinn helped her put on her shoes, Jenna leaned over to kiss him. [Thanks, Mister! Love you!]“I’m going on a business trip for a few days in North City.” Quinn’s gaze swept past her phone, and he went into the lift first. “Do you want me to leave Sam here with you?”Jenna shook her head. [You promised that Ivy won’t touch me again. You can bring him. Sam is also your secretary.]She could not help asking, [What’s this business trip for? Are there any
Jenna got busy once she started working and even forgot that Quinn told her he was going on a business trip to North City.She came back to her senses when she got home in the evening, and Quinn never returned. Jenna showered and lay on the bed, feeling a little bored. Without the man around her, their bedroom suddenly felt empty.She propped up the ragdoll cat plushie and snapped a photo for Quinn.Five minutes later, Quinn replied to her. [What’s up?]Jenna: [I wish I could be this ragdoll cat, only a plushie without a brain to think. Naturally, I won’t miss you.]Quinn: [I’ll be back on Wednesday.]Jenna sent a sad emoticon. [But today is only Monday. It’s still far from Wednesday.]Jenna: [Mister, tell me a fairytale to put me to sleep. Don’t change the story yourself. The Little Red Riding Hood you told gave me nightmares for a few days.]After she sent the message, she saw the man typing for a long time.After a while, Quinn sent a long voice message. Jenna eagerly p
Running out of the company and jumping in a car, Kevin immediately dialed a number. However, the other party’s phone was switched off.Kevin felt even more anxious.He immediately sped toward the airport, calling a friend to borrow a private jet.At the same time, he browsed Seabright Group’s website for a number and memorized it.After ending the call with his friend, Kevin immediately called this number.It was a little past ten o’clock at Fabell City.Shawn was dining with a few of his business partners in a club when his assistant suddenly walked in and said by his ear, “Mr. Sadler, someone named Kevin Sander is looking for you.”Shawn stopped drinking his wine and glanced at his assistant. “Isn’t he one of Quinn Forester’s men?”“Yes. He said it’s an emergency.”The assistant held the call and asked, “Should I hang up?”Shawn recalled seeing Jenna on the road with Kevin before. He seemed to be the bodyguard Quinn assigned to Jenna. After a few seconds, he got up to take
When Aunt Lily knocked on her door in the morning, Jenna realized her phone was not charged and had shut down due to a loose plug.After washing up, Jenna charged her phone with a power bank.[Aunt Lily, I’m going to the hospital later.]She typed with an iPad Quinn frequently used as her phone was not turned on. [I might be staying overnight.]Aunt Lily came over with a bowl of porridge, glancing at the iPad. “Miss, what are you going there for? Why do you need to stay overnight?”Jenna did not want to worry her, so she typed, [For my throat. The doctor wants me to stay for observation.]Aunt Lily’s movement paused. She then said, “It’s going to rain today. Miss, why don’t I accompany you to the hospital? You never liked the smell of hospitals anyway.”[No need.] Jenna shook her head, and her lips curled up. [Mister said he would return to Hevedburgh at ten o’clock in the morning.]Jenna handed a card to Aunt Lily. [Since I will come back with Mister tomorrow morning, go out t
It was drizzling outside by the time Jenna left the hospital. After she got in her car, Jenna took out her phone to text Kevin, wanting to know what was up. She assumed he was busy as she did not get a reply for a long time.Looking at the time, she messaged Quinn on WhatsApp. [Mister, are you back at Hevedburgh?]Quinn replied quickly, [I just landed. I need to go to the company first.]Jenna smiled. [Granny texted me an hour ago, asking us to come for dinner. I just came out of the hospital. I will go to the Forester family home to accompany Granny later.]Quinn: [Are you feeling well?]Jenna: [I’ve told Dr. Tennyson I’ll admit myself to the hospital at nine in the evening, and you’ll come with me. Don’t leave the company when you’re there. I prepared a surprise for you.]Quinn: [Okay.]After chatting with Quinn, Jenna checked the time again.Thinking of the gift to be delivered to the company and her scheduled social media post, Jenna was excited about what expression Qu
