SWNOVELS Chapter 9 I Saw You With Someone Else
Tanner shot it a cold glance before he silenced his phone and threw it in the corner. He looked up coldly and urged the driver in a cold voice, "Faster!"
He had always been a man with a strong and stern aura. When he was speaking with such a gloomy face, the atmosphere in the car turned even more frigid. The driver felt a chill down his back, and he stepped on the accelerator regardless of the traffic lights.
Fortunately, it was midnight, and there weren't any pedestrians or vehicles on the street. The car finally drove to the best private hospital located in the city center.
Tanner carried Eliza and quickly ran out of the car.
Emergency, inspection, and infusion.
When the doctor came out, he spoke in a gentle tone, "The patient is fine. She was just a little fatigued and collapsed. She will be fine after resting for a few days. By the way, she suffers from mild anemia, and she needs more care at home."
Tanner's cold and tensed expression finally eased. He reluctantly thanked the doctor and went into the ward to look at the pale-faced girl who was fast asleep.
The lights in the ward were dim and bleak. When the light fell on her quiet face, it made her skin look pale like snow. Even the fragile blood vessels under her skin could be seen clearly.
Tanner sat quietly by the side of the bed, gently caressing her slightly cold cheek.
His profound eyes were filled with restraint and forbearance.
He did not like Raelyn. He liked Eliza.
However, Eliza did not like him. She would always push him back to Raelyn's side. He did not know what was on her mind, so he went along with his and Raelyn's relationship.
However, he had never had any feelings for Raelyn.
He only adored this lovely yet annoying girl.
After some time, Tanner retracted his fingers, stood up, and left.
The sweet touch of that woman's skin seemed to linger on the tips of his fingers. Tanner clenched his fist. The silhouette he left behind was tall, straight, and unyielding, but at the same time also rather lonely and distant.
By the time Eliza woke up, it was already the next morning. She had not eaten anything for an entire day and night. She was so hungry that her stomach was churning.
She wondered why she was lying on the hospital bed, but she did not have the energy to investigate the reason. The first thing she did was call a nurse to get her a bowl of hot soup. After she consumed it, she heaved a sigh of relief with satisfaction.
Only after that did she start to size up the strange ward.
"Excuse me, nurse. May I ask, do you know who sent me here last night?" She asked the nurse who had come over to help her take her temperature.
The young nurse shook her head and said, "I am not sure about that. Why don't you ask the receptionist afterward and check the records from last night."
"I see. Thank you." Eliza got even more curious. After she rested for a while, she got out of bed and was ready to leave the hospital.
She suddenly saw something out of the corner of her eye, it was something familiar. Upon closer look, she realized that it was her handbag, placed neatly on the coffee table in the ward.
"What?" Eliza was even more confused. She took her handbag and looked at it, only to realize that everything was still there.
Who was the one that found it for her?
Was it the person who had sent her to the hospital the night before?
Who on earth could it be?
She was so curious that she could not wait any longer. She immediately ran to the front desk, and the receptionist enthusiastically helped her inquire about her records and replied, "Miss Stone, you are the one who registered yourself here last night."
It was registered under her own name?
Then, it meant that it was someone who knew her. If that person knew her, then why would they not tell her their identity?
How strange...
Eliza left the hospital with doubts. She waited by the road. As she looked at the cars that were coming and going, she was lost once more.
Where was she supposed to go now?
She paused for a while and in the end, she decided to call Gracelynn first to ask how she was after the previous night's indulgence.
The moment her phone screen lit up, she saw several messages appear on the screen.
There were missed calls and a few text messages from her mother, Penelope. All of which urged her to answer the phone as soon as possible.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
