Chapter 231

Theodore rushed out and managed to grab Willow's arm before she entered the car. "Willow."Willow held back her displeasure and said in restraint, "Go back inside and have breakfast with Madam Sara. I'll go see Joey at the hospital. She's alone there, and I'm worried about her."They could still hear Sara talking inside. "I've lived long enough to see all the pearls and jewels in the world, but those don't even compare to Hailey's cookies."Willow gritted her teeth and said, "I'm off."She broke free from Theodore's grasp and entered the car, starting the engine. As she drove away from the Bassett Residence, she could still see him from the rearview mirror. Tall and lean, he remained standing at his spot, the trenchcoat accentuating his figure and stature.She strengthened her resolve and looked the other way. She didn't see him getting into another car afterward and leaving the residence as well.…In the ward, Joey was peeling an apple on the hospital bed as she talked to Wi

"That's a piece of cake. Of course, I'll go. I've also wanted to arrange a team building event for my company staff too. How about I get my assistant to get in touch with your friend's staff as well?""That would be great. You're all welcome to be the first customers of the resort! Don't forget to give good reviews too.""Oh. We have to thank you for inviting us, Dr. Roth.""Alright. See you this Saturday.""Okay. See you."…Willow left the hospital and drove to the office. She immediately got Annie to work on the Saturday team-building event. Upon hearing the delighted gasps and cheers from outside her office, she smiled happily and grabbed a cup to make herself some tea.While she waited for the tea to be ready, she looked at her phone. There were only messages from work, and she failed to see the texts she had been waiting for. Theodore had not reached out to her the entire morning. Was he still at Bassett Residence?She couldn't help but knit her eyebrows together. She q

Theodore seemed to have resumed work, no longer having the time to talk to Willow on the phone. Willow quickly said goodbye and hung up, but she held her phone in disappointment.She spaced out on the couch and started to comfort herself. Theodore was so busy. Of course, his life didn't revolve around dating and romance like ordinary people. It was already a blessing that he could make time for lunch with her. How could he go on vacation with her like Annie suggested? Willow decided to snap out of it and began to focus on work.…For the following days, both Willow and Theodore were occupied with their work. They didn't meet until Friday.On Friday afternoon, the Joywell Real Estate employees set off to the hot spring resort by bus. The sky had already turned dark by the time they arrived. Everyone checked in at the front counter and retired to their rooms."Guys, don't forget that we'll have dinner at 7:30 p.m. in the banquet hall," Annie reminded. Then, she gave Willow the l

Theodore was angry with Willow. However, he was angrier with himself. He didn't make her feel protected enough. Though he was the heir to the great Bassett family, he had his weakness. He couldn't go against the entire family head-on.He stared at her bright smile in the photo. As if she was his oasis, his withered heart regained life, emotions surging within him."I'll be waiting!" Terence said and hung up.Theodore knitted his eyebrows as he looked at the photo on his phone. "Clark, book a 2:00 p.m. flight ticket back to Emperia for tomorrow.""Can we leave tomorrow? We might not be able to finish the negotiations tomorrow morning.""We'll get it done." Theodore's brief, but final, reply shut Clark up. Clark immediately went to book the tickets as ordered.Theodore got out of the car as soon as it stopped in front of the hotel. He was about to call Willow when he saw someone familiar smiling and waving at him at the entrance. "Theodore!"Theodore had to give up on the call.

"Theodore, I haven't even had dinner since I've been waiting for you. Look, I brought some really nice wine too. The view is perfect here—""Do you want to get out on your own, or shall I call security?"Hailey immediately shut up, putting the wine bottle down reluctantly. As she reached the door, he asked, "Did you touch my phone?"She froze a little. "Willow called you. I happened to see it, so I helped pick it up."She turned around and saw Theodore's terrifying expression. She explained panickedly, "I didn't mean to do it. I was just worried that she's urgently looking for you. "I only answered the call because I thought she might have some emergency. Theodore, I can explain this to her.""Get out!" He ordered coldly in a loud voice.Hailey quickly left. Her face darkened the moment she closed the door. She walked and phoned someone. "Do it tonight. I'll give you the rest of the money within a month. Remember, don't leave any traces."…Back in the room, Theodore clut

The person on the phone fell silent again. Out of the corner of her eye, Willow noticed the people behind her stifling their laughter. She immediately lowered her voice."My team is waiting for me. I'll talk to you later. Get some rest."There was a brief acknowledgment from the other end before Willow quickly hung up and returned the phone to Terence."Dr. Roth, thanks.""You're welcome," Terence replied as he pocketed the phone. He asked curiously, "It's rare to see him so anxious. Is something wrong?""No. It's just a misunderstanding."Misunderstanding? Terence mused.Annie and the others were calling Willow over to join them. With no time to explain, she invited Terence. "Dr. Roth, come join us. We have many single women in our company who want to meet you.""Is it because they have relatives who need medical attention?""Of course not. Dr. Roth, you're too modest.""Ha ha."Amid the lively chatter in the bar, Willow seemed unaffected by the call from Hailey.Indeed, s

Facing the cameras, Willow bowed first. She said, "We are thoroughly investigating the cause of the fire to prevent a recurrence. Joywell Real Estate will bear all the damages, and we sincerely apologize for the impact on the community.""Some said the incident happened because none of your site managers were present. Ms. Jett, can you explain why?""Our safety manager is always stationed on-site.""But photos online show your staff at a hot spring hotel these past two days."The media reporters quickly echoed the question, pressing Willow for an explanation."Do you admit this accident was due to negligence?""How can you ensure this won't happen again?"Willow was at a loss for words. Her assistant, Annie, tried to shield her from the barrage of questions."We were on a company retreat, but not everyone attended. Our safety manager remained on-site. Please don't jump to conclusions based on photos.""Where is the safety manager now?""We are trying to reach him.""Are you

"I'll go with you then.""Alright."From the start, Matthew never asked why she was hospitalized. Instead, he kept thinking of Willow.Joey suppressed her resentment, knowing now was not the right time for such feelings. Meanwhile, Willow was being questioned at the police station.Theodore managed to secure her release on bail, though the police installed a tracking device on her phone and reminded her not to leave Emperia for the time being."Don't worry about it now. I'll take you home to rest. We'll deal with everything tomorrow.""Okay," Willow replied as she nodded.Late at night, a black van tailed them as they drove through the streets of Emperia. The van's occupants watched until Willow entered her apartment building and Theodore's car drove away. Then, someone in the van made a phone call."Hello?" Willow answered the phone while taking off her shoes as soon as she reached her house."If you want to know the truth about the fire, come to the abandoned area of the sub

"Willow! Willow!"Inside the wardrobe, Matthew desperately pushed the door open. With a loud crash, he fell out. As he saw Willow unconscious on the floor, he picked her up and rushed out without hesitation.Meanwhile, a pale and third hand moved slightly in the wardrobe. The eyes that had just opened were filled with despair. The lips quivered, but no sound came out.At the hospital, Willow woke up. As she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was a white ceiling above her."Hey, don't move," a familiar voice came nearby."Mr. Evans.""You're finally awake.""Did you save me?""Yes."Willow suddenly remembered something and asked anxiously, "Where's Joey?"Matthew's eyes flickered slightly, but when he looked up, he looked calm. He said, "She's fine. Don't worry."Willow breathed a sigh of relief. She said, "As long as she's okay. Did you call the police?""I did, but I think there's something more important you need to focus on right now," Matthew said as he handed her

Clark quickly stepped in to explain, "Ms. Jett, that's not what Mr. Bassett meant. He was just worried about you and didn't want you to put yourself in danger.""Really? He was worried about me? That means I should ignore my friend's safety and only care about myself? I'm sorry, but I can't be that cold-hearted!"Theodore was disappointed. His gaze was so oppressive that it made people uneasy.Willow felt a pang in her heart. Theodore's silent demeanor was so intimidating that Clark, standing nearby, broke into a cold sweat.After standing by the bedside for a few seconds, Theodore said in a low voice, "Clark, let's go."Watching Theodore leave without hesitation, Willow clenched her fists. If Theodore believed in saving her own life in such situations, then they were indeed not on the same page. Luckily, she hadn't told him about the pregnancy yet.Outside the ward, Theodore encountered Matthew in the hallway. He was talking to the police."How is that possible? Did you really
