Well, This is Awkward
Before going to bed, I called As. I informed him that everything was stable on the Trinity''s side, and I felt a bit relieved. I sighed, grateful that I could lie down peacefully in bed, all thanks to Trinity enduring suffering on my behalf.
The guilt in my heart made it impossible for me to sleep. Every event reyed in my mind like a series of scenes. Finally, as morning approached, I, sporting a pair of panda eyes, hastily took a warm shower. Urged by the three olddies, I managed to eat something before rushing to the hospital.
Surprisingly, when I arrived, Trinity had just woken up. Watching the doctor busy inside, I felt anxious. However, she didn''t stay awake for long and slipped back into a deep sleep about half an hourter.
The doctor brought good news from the blood test results, indicating that the excessive bleeding might have inadvertently helped as there were not many toxins remaining in her body. It was a sigh of relief for all of us.
Anson also arrived at the hospital. Hearing that she had briefly awakened, he seemed happier. He carefully questioned Jared about the toxin issue in Trinity''s body, clearly trusting Jared''s exnation.
As he turned to leave, he noticed me. His sharp eyes scanned me from head to toe, and then he said, "I saw you yesterday. State your reasons."
Although his voice was calm, it carried a hint of displeasure.
Understandably, seeing an outsider meddling in such affairs wouldn''t bring joy to anyone at this moment. Yet, the crucial point was that the person inside was injured for my sake. I couldn''t pretend to be oblivious, right?
Honestly, I felt more awkward than anyone else at this moment.
Being suddenly questioned by the old man, I became a bit nervous. Seeing him not quiteposed, I exined with a tinge of anxiety, "Trinity got injured protecting me."
"Who are you?" His eyes showed a trace of displeasure, but after scrutinizing me, he casually asked, "Why did she save you?"
The old man''s question left me momentarily unsure how to respond. In fact, it was a question I had been pondering myself—why did Trinity risk everything to save me? We weren''t friends or partners, and our impressions of each other were tainted by our connections to Ivanna. Yet, she had saved me.
His sudden question caught me off guard, and I really didn''t know how to provide a satisfactory answer.
Seeing my difort, Jared spoke up, "They are friends, and this youngdy is Archie’s goddaughter."
"Archie Beringer?" The old man''s eyes shed as he nced at Jared.
"Yes, she’s precious to Mrs. Rose," Jared replied intriguingly.
Upon hearing that I was Grandma Rose’s precious one, he scrutinized me again, remaining silent before turning to the person inside.From N?velDrama.Org.
I stayed by his side until Jared told him to leave. He nced at me onest time before departing, and only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.
Just then, As called. He asked where I was, and I told him I was at the hospital.

"Alright, wait there. I''ll be there soon." With that, he hung up.
Jared nced at me and said, "Ms. Chloe, you don''t have to stay here the whole time. Wait until she''s settled back in her room before checking on her."
"No matter what, Trinity got injured for my sake. It wouldn''t be right if I''m not here. Thank you, Mr. Jared, for your assistance just now. However, I don''t want to involve the Beringer family in this," I replied without looking at Jared, my gaze fixed on Trinity inside.
"Whether you mention it or not, the old man will find out," he calmly stated.
Jared''s argument was indeed valid. How could the shrewd patriarch of the Huffman family not conduct his own investigation? Jared was essentially telling me that his exnations were irrelevant.
"You don''t have to me yourself. For Trinity, she doesn''t need a reason for what she wants to do, especially in such unexpected circumstances," Jared''s words were delivered with a calm demeanor, making me wonder at times whether this man loved Ivanna more or understood Trinity better.
