Chapter 219 Stephanie, Something Happened…
Just then, the phone rang, and Monica answered it.
“Your photo album is ready, Miss Keller,” said the person on the other end of the line. “Should we deliver it to your office, or would you like to come and pick it up after work?”
“The office, please,” Monica replied eagerly. “I’ll have my assistant wait for you at the entrance.”
“Very well. We’ll head out right away.”
After hanging up, Monica said to Lydia, “I took some photos for Miss Fox a few days ago. They’ve been printed into an album. Could you please go to the company entrance and get it for me? Be very careful, and make sure you don’t damage it.”
“Why don’t you have them deliver it to the hospital directly?” Lydia wondered. “The distance should be about the same, right?”
Monica’s expression shifted slightly, and she replied awkwardly, “I don’t want anyone to know I’m in the hospital”
Lydia understood at once. Monica was a strong person, and a hospital was the last place she wanted to be associated with.
“Alright. Take care of yourself, then. Ring the bell if you need anything.” Lydia got up and left to return with the album half an hour later.
Monica sat leaning against the headboard, eagerly reaching out to take the album and flipping through it. Each photo had been carefully selected with its high-definition resolution and well-designed layouts. She believed the album was perfect, and Jennifer would surely love it!
With a joyful smile on her face, she lifted the covers, preparing to get out of bed. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
“Where are you going?” Lydia was startled.
While putting on her shoes, Monica said. “I’m going to Repulse Bay to deliver the album to Miss Fox!”
“Why the rush?” Lydia was uneasy. “You haven’t fully recovered yet! Besides, you can deliver the album another time. The doctor already said you need to be on bed rest! You remember there’s a hematoma in your abdomen, don’t you?”
“Don’t worry about it. I’m already doing okay: Monica insisted on leaving. “Help me with the discharge process, alright?”
“No!” Lydia disobeyed, feeling anxious for her boss.
Monica was taken aback and looked at her, her gaze slightly cold. “I’m going to deduct from your performance.”
“Do it, then! This isn’t in my job description anyway! When we’re in the hospital, I’m your friend! I’m doing this for your own good!” Lydia argued stubbornly.
However, Monica was just as obstinate. I’m going today one way or the other. Either you drive, or I’ll do
Knowing she couldn’t win no matter what, Lydia compromised. “Alright, I’ll drive you to Repulse Bay. However, we’re coming back to the hospital right after delivering the album, deal?”novelxo.com fast update
Monica’s face turned pale, and standing up wasn’t comfortable either. She had suffered a serious injury to her abdomen, and the doctors said it had affected her spleen and stomach.
“Fine, as you wish,” she agreed.
In order to have a healthy body in the future to accompany Stanley and have children with him, Monical was willing to obediently follow the doctor’s orders.
Thus, with the other woman supporting her, they entered the elevator before Lydia drove Monica to Repulse Bay.
Repulse Bay, a place where every inch of land was valuable, still maintained its elegant environment. However, recently, there had been a somber atmosphere. Jennifer was gloomy, and the servants dared not speak. She completely lacked the joy of recovering from her burn wounds and refrained from shopping.
Stephanie felt that even the sunlight couldn’t penetrate the heaviness. It was oppressively gloomy, and throughout the entire day, Jennifer’s eyelids twitched rapidly as if she had a foreboding feeling.
She felt restless and kept getting distracted.
Suddenly, the landline in the living room rang, causing her heart to skip a beat. She immediately turned her gaze toward it.
Stephanie picked up the receiver and spoke. “Hello, this is Repulse Bay”
*Stephanie, where is Miss Fox?” The voice on the other end trembled. “Something has happened….”
“What is it?” Stephanie asked, looking at the middle-aged woman standing by the window. “Tell me, and I’ll convey the message to Miss Fox. As she finished speaking, she activated the speakerphone..
“Mr. Fox has been in a serious car accident..
