Judy bowed toward Jackson and said, “Mr. Foster, thank you. I’m not good with words, but thank you. I will work hard to earn money and repay you.”
Jackson, who was lying in bed and unable to get up, replied. “Judy, I apologize on behalf of my mother. She has always had a gentle personality, but she may not have been in a good mood lately. You were innocently blamed. Please don’t take it to
heart.
When Judy heard Jackson say that his mother had always had a gentle personality, she subconsciously furrowed her brows and bit her lip. She hesitated whether she should speak up or not.
Even though lying in bed. Jackson sensed Judy’s hesitation and said, “Judy, if you have something to say, just say it. If there’s anything I can help you with, I will.”
“Mr. Foster, you are a good person,” Judy said.
“Go ahead.” Jackson encouraged Judy to express her request.
Judy squirmed her lips again, mustering the courage to say, “Mr. Foster, it’s just that… it’s…”
The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she had difficulty saying them.
Jackson said. “Judy, it’s okay. Just tell me what’s on your mind. I will help you as much as I can.
Judy shook her head and said. “It’s not about me. It’s about Madam. She and Ms. Elena, they were discussing, discussing…”
Jackson furrowed his brow and added, “Discussing planning for pregnancy?”
He knew about this matter. His mother must have been involved. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have pretended to be ill and left him on his birthday.
Judy gritted her teeth and said, “No, it’s… They were discussing, saying they wanted to create a car accident to kill
someone…”
Anger surged up in Jackson, and he interrupted Judy. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Judy trembled in fear and immediately said. “Yes, it’s nonsense. Mr. Foster, just take it as nonsense. I have prepared the medicine. Let me feed it to you first.”
Judy hurriedly got up, preparing to bring the medicine.
Jackson furrowed his brow, his face turning serious, and his tone softened as he said, “Judy, I’m sorry. I was a bit impatient just now.”
Judy repeatedly said, “It’s nothing, Mr. Foster.”
Jackson took a deep breath and calmly asked, “Judy, what did you hear? Did Elena actively discuss something with my mother? Did she mention harming someone? Did you hear it?”
Judy was in a dilemma, but thinking about how kind Jackson had been to her, she gathered her courage and said. “Mr. Foster, I heard Madam say that every day, people die in accidents in this world. As long as it’s done neatly, no one will suspect anything. She also told Ms. Elena that if they were to take action, it must be a guaranteed hit. Ms. Elena mentioned that the wretched woman has now married into a wealthy family, so it might not be easy for them to make a move. Madam said that opportunities are created by people. Many cars are traveling around, and it will be easily mistaken as an accident…” “Did my mother really say those words?” Jackson’s face turned unpleasant..
His mother had always been gentle and kind. Although she had some obsession with the matter of heirs, she was always soft in other aspects. It was unlikely that she would say such things.
However, Judy couldn’t have made up these words, and Elena referring to the wretched woman marrying into a wealthy family clearly pointed to Vanessa.
With this realization, Jackson’s expression became even more grim.
Judy said, “Mr. Foster, it really was Madam who said those things. Let me feed you the medicine first. It’s a traditional herbal drink, but it’s getting cold. The doctor said it should be consumed warm, as the effectiveness is not as good when cold.”
“Okay,” Jackson responded.
Suddenly, he thought of something. Judy was dismissed by his mother. Could it be that Elena had actually come up with the plan, and Judy happened to overhear it? After being fired, Judy harbored resentment, so she attributed Elena’s words to his
mother.
As he thought about it, he felt much more relieved.
At the same time, his disgust toward Elena deepened.
Judy said, “Mr. Foster, you should lie down now. Sitting up might cause you more harm. I’ll help you sit up when it’s time to

cal. Can you use a straw for soups and drinks while lying down?”
Yes, Jackson replied.
He didn’t have the strength to sit up again.
He had exhausted all his energy when he went to see Vanessa earlier.
After seeing Vanessa, he immediately felt a wave of weakness. His vision darkened, and if he hadn’t been gripping the wheelchair armrests with both hands, he might have collapsed right then and there.
Judy brought the straw and fed the medicine to Jackson.

He turned his head and drank the medicine.
He finished the medicine in a gulp.
Judy immediately took some candies that were prepared nearby and said, “Mr. Foster, this medicine is bitter. Have some
candies.”
“No need.” Jackson said.
Compared to the bitterness in his heart, the bitterness of the medicine was insignificant.
“Alright, Mr. Foster. Please rest well and try to sleep. The doctor said that sleeping helps with faster recovery, Judy said.
“Okay,” Jackson replied.
Judy then left respectfully.
On the other side, when Vanessa saw that Jackson was still alive and seemed to be in good condition, she felt a wave of relief.
The burden she had been carrying suddenly lifted from her heart.
For the past three years, she always felt that Jackson owed her an apology, which had kept her emotionally unsettled and trapped in resentment.
But when her life was threatened and was tumbling down the mountain in the torrential rainstorm, Jackson risked his own life to save her.
Suddenly, she found peace in her heart.
She understood everything now. He had to make a choice between her and the family’s wealth, and he chose wealth.
Previously, she had felt that her efforts in that relationship were not worth it, but now she found a sense of balance within
herself.
It was worth it. He had loved her too.
It was okay. Everyone looked forward and lived their own lives now.
From this moment on, she felt unprecedentedly relaxed and even a little happy.
Katerine and a few assisting women brought their breakfast to the room and left.
William and Vanessa had breakfast together.
Vanessa wanted to get out of bed, but William immediately held her hand and said, “Honey, don’t move. Just sit in bed comfortably. Your left leg is injured.”
Only then did Vanessa feel the pain in her foot. She lifted the blanket and saw her left leg wrapped up like a mummy. She looked at William’s leg and hand and smiled, jokingly saying, “The way we are now, it’s like we’re a couple in distress.”
William laughed and said, “Well, you’re right. Let’s stay here for a while, and when it’s time for your second round of competition, we can go back.”
“But what about your work? Won’t it be affected?” Vanessa expressed her concern for William.
“Don’t worry. I’ll arrange everything.”
“Okay.” Vanessa responded.
They were both injured, and it was impossible for them to return to work now. They could only hope for their injuries to heal quickly.
“Come, let’s eat.” William handed the fork to Vanessa.
Vanessa, being injured, had a poor appetite. She had a little bit of soup but didn’t feel like eating anymore. William persuaded her, “Honey, have a little more. This roasted radish is not heavy and quite refreshing. Give it any He didn’t dare to persuade her to eat the meat and fish on the table, fearing that the smell might make her nauseous.

Chapter 89:
Yesterday, the old doctor scolded him, saying that Vanessa would become more sensitive because of her pregnancy and he should go along with her wishes, not anger her. If she did not want to eat, he couldn’t force her. But eating too little was not. good either. He needed to take care of her mood and let her eat whatever she wanted. After all, they were not in a time of Janine where they couldn’t afford to cat.
William didn’t dare to push Vanessa too hard, but he was also worried that Vanessa’s weak body couldn’t handle eating too little.
“Okay, Vanessa looked at William’s tender eyes and decided to give the radish a try.
After taking a bite, she surprisingly felt that it was not bad.
Seeing Vanessa’s eyes lit up. William’s eyes also lit up. “Isn’t it good?”
Having something she liked to cat made him happier than sealing a major business deal.
