Chapter 167
“Didn’t I mention that young people shouldn’t stay up late? Why can’t you change that habit of yours? You’re saying that you
have learned from your mistake? Don’t you feel embarrassed when saying that?” teased Steven when he saw that she did not.
lose her temper.
“Fine. You’re the boss. Everything you say is right. If you want to give a lecture, please be here early tomorrow. I’m off work
today, and I have to go to the hospital to visit Meg,” Jodie piped up patiently, for she was worried that she would blow up and get
mad at him.
“I have heard of what happened last night. I’ll pay her a visit as well. Let’s go together,” suggested Steven as he wore a solemn
expression.
“Okay.” Jodie did not reject him since she could get a free ride.
The two of them drove to the hospital together. When they arrived, Christopher was parking his car in the hospital’s car park.
Seeing Christopher’s car, Steven honked his horn before parking his car. “Christopher.”
Christopher traveled his gaze between him and Jodie and nodded slightly in response.
Then, the three of them entered the elevator together. Suddenly, Steven asked, “What’s going on? Why do I feel like something
bad is always happening to Margaret? Can’t you even take good care of your own woman?”
Nevertheless, Christopher remained silent and only stared at the continually changing floor numbers. As soon as the elevator
stopped, he stepped out of it. “Can’t I even ask? Look at your complexion. Judging from the dark circles, I’m guessing that you
must have not slept at all last night,” grumbled Steven.
In fact, Jodie had also noticed that Christopher’s complexion was not very good, which was clearly due to exhaustion.
When they walked into the ward, Margaret was awake, Coincidentally, Elizabeth had returned to the mansion to prepare dinner,
so Margaret was alone in the ward. Dissatisfied, Christopher inquired, “Where’s Elizabeth?”
The woman on the bed answered, “She went back to prepare food for me. Why did

the three of you come together?”
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Jodie replied, “We happened to meet downstairs, so we came up together. How are you doing
today? Are you feeling better? I was so terrified last night. I’ve never cried so much in my life as I did last night. If something
happened to you, I would never forgive myself for the rest of my life.”

However, Margaret only smiled and did not answer. In actuality, she was a little flustered. Christopher had gone through a lot the
previous night because of what happened to her. If he found out that it was because of Jodie asking her out that caused her to
fall and bleed profusely, he probably would be unhappy about it, so it was better to not mention it. –
After a while, she queried, “How’s Tabby?”

“It’s doing fine,” Christopher said casually, without looking her in the eyes.
Breathing a sigh of relief, she stated, “That’s good. The weather forecast mentioned that it would be rainy for the next few days.
Can you allow Tabby to stay in the house? I think it’s quite dull-witted and doesn’t know how to hide from the rain.”
The man cast a brief look at her. “It’s indeed quite dull. I don’t mind it entering the house as long as it doesn’t get close to me.”
Margaret was relieved that his attitude had changed dramatically. At the very least, Tabby would not need to suffer anymore.
Since she had decided to raise it, she had to be responsible for it. It was a good sign.
In the meantime, Steven stood at the side and watched silently. Just then, a nurse came in and performed a basic checkup on
Margaret. After taking Margaret’s temperature, the nurse noticed Steven and Jodie standing together and smiled. “Mr. Jones, I
was wondering why you were so generous. It turns out that it was to win a woman’s heart.”
Raising his brows, Steven responded ambiguously, “Stop making fun of me. Hurry up and complete your job.”
Jodie was not a fool and noticed that something was amiss.
The hospital was where her father passed away back then, and she was somewhat familiar with the nurses at the nurse station,
so she could not help but ask, “What do you mean by that?”

In response, the nurse beamed and explained, “Since your father has passed away for
quite some time, it should be fine for me to tell you this. Actually, his surgery fee and medical bills were paid by Mr. Jones. Didn’t
you ask me at that time? I didn’t tell you the truth because Mr. Jones asked me to keep it a secret. Now that the two of you are
together, it should be fine for you to know, right? The deceased are gone, but the living must continue to live properly. We need
to look ahead.”
