“But we’re worried about having you stay in the hospital alone,” said Mrs. Sweeney. Especially since the ward was a single ward, so no one would know if anything happened to her daughter if she was alone.
Just then, two caretakers knocked on the door and entered the ward, stating that they were caretakers Hadwin Stephenson had hired. They would be responsible for taking care of Lina in the hospital.
Lina immediately said to her parents, “Mom and Dad, you don’t have to worry now. There are two people taking care of me at night. You should just go back to the hotel and rest. You can visit me and take care of me during the day.”
Mr. Sweeney and Mrs. Sweeney finally went back to the hotel after seeing that there were two caretakers around.
They were also persuaded by their daughter.
Lina lay down on the hospital bed to sleep after washing up.
After all, she was tired after such a long day and soon fell asleep.
The two caretakers divided their duties. One would stay the night while the other went home to rest. They would switch duties later in the day.
The night was dark and the ward was quiet.
When it was the wee hours of the morning, the caretaker froze when she heard the door open. Then, she saw the door being pushed open and a tail figure walked in.
“Excuse me, Sir…”
“Go out first. I want to see her alone,” said Hadwin Stephenson.
“But…” The caretaker seemed hesitant.
“I’m Hadwin Stephenson. Does that put your mind at rest?” he said.
The caretaker froze. Hadwin Stephenson? The person who arranged the job told her to take good care of the pregnant woman and that the person who assigned the job was from Stephenson Group.
She knew that the head of Stephenson Group was called Hadwin Stephenson, but it was the first time she was seeing what Hadwin Stephenson looked like.
The caretaker left the ward quickly without saying anything and closed the door quietly.
Hadwin Stephenson looked down at the sleeping Ling. The moonlight shone on her face through the glass window, allowing him to see her sleeping face.
His heart, which had been restless the entire night, seemed to finally calm down after seeing her.
“Lina, how much do you love me? How much of what you said is true?” muttered Hadwin Stephenson, but no one gave him an answer.
Moments later, he pulled her phone out of his pocket, placed it on her bedside table, and left the ward.
When Lina woke up the next day, she instantly froze when she saw her phone on the bedside table. Then, she quickly asked the caretaker, “Did someone come over last night?”
Sure enough, she heard Hadwin Stephenson’s name from the caretaker.
‘I could have seen him if I hadn’t slept so soundly yesterday!’ Lina thought regretfully. Then, she turned on her phone and went to her photo album. She wondered if he had deleted anything else.
However, the next moment, she was stunned.
The number of photos in her photo album had increased instead of decreased. All the deleted photos were restored. Not one was missing!
‘Did he have it restored?’ Lina was filled with joy.
‘Hadwin restored the photos. Does that mean he still has feelings for me? Did he restore the photos because he doesn’t want me to be sad?’
As soon as Mr. Sweeney and Mrs. Sweeney entered the ward in the morning, they saw their daughter holding her phone while giggling.
“Didn’t you say yesterday that you left your phone with Hadwin Stephenson?” asked Mr. Sweeney.
“Hadwin sent it over,” Lina said happily.
“He was here last night?”
“Yes, but I was asleep. I’ll see him when I discharge from the hospital,” said Lina, suddenly having a lot of hope for the future.
“Don’t… land yourself in the hospital again when you see him,”
said Mrs. Sweeney.
Lina said, “Got it. Mom and Dad, don’t worry. Hadwin and I
have made a deal. It’ll be for a month. During this month, he won’t reject me from seeing him. But if he still doesn’t want to be with me a month later, Il return to Emerald City with you.”
“Only for a month?” Mrs. Sweeney could not help but worry. The time was too short. Could Hadwin Stephenson be convinced to get back together with her daughter in such a short time?
Lina smiled gently. “If he still has feelings for me, one month is enough time. If he has no feelings for me, then even a year is useless.”
Mrs. Sweeney sighed, “Okay, we’ll stay out of what’s going on between you and him. Whether you leave or stay, we’ll be with you.”
Mr. Sweeney also nodded, agreeing with his wife.
Lina gripped the phone in her hands a little tighter.
Hadwin and her would have something worked out in a month.
In the prison meeting room, Jason looked at Secretary Wang. “You altered my memory when you had someone hypnotize me.”
Secretary Wong smiled. “It seems you’ve found out about it, Young Master”
“Did you do all these unnecessary things for Old master Reed and the Reed family?” Jason’s voice was tinged with a chill.
“Of course,” Secretary Wang said with no sense of guilt.
Jason said coldly, “For Old master Reed and the Reed family? It’s just your arrogance and the twisted pleasure you get from controlling other people’s lives. It all ends here. You’ll stay in this prison forever. No matter how good you behave, you’ll never get your sentence reduced. Grace and I will lead a good life together. Grace will forever be the only mistress of the Reed family and my wife.”
