Chapter 140
Charlotte deliberately turned to observe Michael’s expression.
Michael said calmly, “Mr. Yancey, Ms. Yeager.” His voice was gentle and respectful.
Charlotte walked towards the bed and asked, “Violet, are you alright?” She put the flowers gently on the bedside table and said,
“How could there be a car accident? I was scared to death when I heard that you had a car accident. It could either be a big or
little one, but it could even kill people if it is serious enough!”
“I’m fine. Why are you here?” Violet was a little surprised as she asked. She raised her pale lips and looked at Charlotte with a
smile, “I was so lucky that I didn’t die.”
“Bah! Don’t say that word! Michael said you were injured, so I came with him.” Charlotte stood beside Jack and said, “Jack, let
me feed her!”
Jack looked up at her and thought as his brows furrowed deeply, “She is really here to make trouble!
I was nurturing the relationship with Violet! Didn’t you notice that? Are you supposed to feed her?”
Before Jack could say anything, Charlotte took the bowl out of his brother’s hand and said, “Excuse me? Let me sit here!”
Jack felt embarrassed and had to give way to her.
The girl sat down in the chair in front of the bed and said with a smile, “This is chicken soup. It looks tasty at first sight! Did you
hurt your wrist as well? So you can’t hold the bowl?”
“It’s just a slight fracture, not very serious.” She said in a calm voice, “I can do it, but your brother insisted on doing that.”
“He is right to insist!” Charlotte scooped up a spoonful of soup and said, “It must hurt so bad, huh? I’ve also suffered the same
injuries before, and I couldn’t even hold the fork and knife in pain!”
“It doesn’t hurt. Dr. Gordon brought me some magical medicine, and they were very effective. I felt no pain anymore after
spraying it.” Violet couldn’t help but tell her.
Michael heard her say that Dr. Gordon had also been here.
It was enough to show her position in Jack’s heart that Dr. Gordon could be invited here for her.
Although Charlotte looked unconcerned, she could still do a good job of feeding Violet the soup.
“Thank you.” Violet was a little embarrassed as she said.
Jack turned around and came up to Michael. They looked at each other and then went out together.
There was no one else in the corridor outside. This was a VIP advanced care area, and the entire floor was booked by Jack.
“Mr. Yancey.” Michael looked solemn and said apologetically, “James has signed a contract with Donald.”
Jack had also known that because James had called him to show off.
James did it deliberately, since he didn’t sign the contract with any other company. He chose to sign the contract with Grande
Group, which was just the Yancey Group’s deadly rival.
Jack looked at him and said, “Thank you for saving Violet.” Jack changed the topic and said, “We just feel sorry for losing this
project, but it is definitely Cook Group’s big loss.”
I’m sorry, Mr. Yancey.” Michael still felt sorry. Although the project was not so big, it had been planned for a long time. As the
president’s special assistant, he didn’t put his work first and did not handle it properly after the incident. It was at dereliction of
duty for him.
But when he was waiting outside the emergency room, Michael’s mind went blank. He didn’t care about anything else at all but
focused on Violet only, worried that she would never wake up again.
Jack tried to guess what he was thinking and saw through his mind at that time.
“It’s not your fault.” Jack accepted the fact and got relieved. “Michael, I want to have a talk with you.”
Michael raised his eyes, which then met Jack’s right the moment,
Jack wanted to ask about something, but he had some scruples. “It’s nothing but a matter from work. It’s off-duty time, so let’s
not talk about it now.” He smiled as his lips were raised into a pretty curve. Then he shot him a glance, turned around and walked
towards the ward.
And Michael seemed to have guessed what he was going to say originally. Was it because his words were too obvious?
It was impossible... Since he had hidden it so well.
He didn’t think too much and followed him in.
Charlotte had already fed Violet all the chicken soup. Then she put down the bowl and stood up.
Zoey handed Violet a warm towel. She took it and wiped her lips as she said, “Thank you”
“Is it tasty?” Zoey asked in a low voice, for fear that it didn’t suit her taste.
Violet replied with a smile, “It’s very delicious. Thank you, Zocy.”
“You’re welcome and I’ll make some more for you tomorrow. Take good care of yourself.”
“Thank you...”
Zoey took the towel and said to Charlotte, “Ms. Yancey, would you like a bowl of chicken soup as well? I have some more.
“Really?” Charlotte smiled in a natural manner, not bashful at all, “Great! I just want some! It smelled so good just now!
Jack and Michael appeared in Violet’s sight, and her eyes finally fell on Michael.
They looked at each other, and Michael smiled slightly to conceal his embarrassment, as he said, “Do you feel better now?”
“Thank you, Michael.” Violet looked at him sincerely as she said, “Thank you for saving me.”
Michael was stunned and thought, “Has she already known that? Mr. Yancey has told her?
Then he looked at Jack again, who kept calm.
Charlotte also heard what Violet said just now. She looked at Violet incredibly and then turned to Michael. “What was going on?
Michael saved Violet?
He saved her?”
“I was just passing by at that moment.” Michael didn’t take credit for it and said, “It’s nothing at all.”
“Whether you happened to be passing by or not, it was dangerous at that time.” Violet stared at him as she said, “Thank G od
you’re fine, or it would bother my conscience.”
Hearing that, Michael felt a little complicated rather than warm or surprised in his heart.
Charlotte felt that the atmosphere in the ward became a little weird, especially his brother’s expression.
She took the chicken soup from Zoey, smelled it, and said loudly on purpose, “Wow! It smelled so good! Zoey is really good at
cooking!”
Violet also looked at her, “That’s right! I couldn’t agree more.”
“I’ll make it for you every day if you like it,” Zoey said happily.
Then the topic was changed.
Then Charlotte sat down in a chair in front of the bed and chatted with Violet while drinking soup,
Michael and Jack were standing not far away.
After drinking the soup, Charlotte was ready to leave with Michael, and she told Violet to take care of herself before leaving.
Jack asked Zoey to go back and told her to bring the chicken soup again tomorrow.
When night fell, only Jack and Violet were left in the ward.
It was so dark outside that he would not go back tonight, but there was only one bed there. Violet leaned against the head of the
bed as she looked at him in depression.
Jack looked at her affectionately as he said, “Don’t be unhappy if I’d like to stay here.”
“Why don’t you go back?” She complained, “It looks as if we have an intimate relationship. If the pap ara zzi know that you stay
here overnight, G od knows what kind of public opinions will flood us.”
“Are you scared?” The man’s eyes were deep as he asked.
“I’m not afraid. I just think it’s unnecessary for you to do that”
“As I’ve already told you” He put on a straight face, which looked handsome, and said unhappily, “Don’t try to change my
decision. I will stay here with you until you are discharged from the hospital.”
“Why?” She asked anxiously, “Who do you think you are?”
“Just because I’d love to.”
Violet glared at him and sighed slightly.
At this moment, her phone rang. She took the phone and saw who it was. Jack also saw that it was Grandpa.
