Our son?
These four words coming from Seraphinaâs mouth, sounded particularly harsh to Andrew Jenkins.
Suddenly, Andrew Jenkinsâs face darkened, his expression seemingly laced with mockery.
âSo all along, you have been covetous of Olivia Jenkinsâs dowry, constantly calculating how you could get your hands on it.â
Seraphina sneered, âAndrew Jenkins, after all these years of marriage, is this how you see me? Iâve never been more disappointed in you!â
This woman is quite the actress. Fortunately, he saw through her schemes before his death.
Andrew Jenkinsâs voice was chilling, âYou wanted that dowry, then why didnât you let your daughter Hannah Jenkins marry Daniel Marshall? How can you always want to possess all the advantages? Seraphina, can you not have any shame?â
Furious, Seraphinaâs voice became shrill, âAndrew Jenkins, let me set the record straight, was it me who didnât allow Hannah to marry him? It was your mother who didnât allow it, how can you blame me? For this family, I have endured hardships, and you canât spare a word of concern; now you even accuse me like this. Does your conscience not bother you for treating me this way?
âSeraphina, all of it was your scheming! For years, you have used my mother as a shield. My mother may be naive, but Iâm not. I may remain silent, but it doesnât mean that Iâm blind. I know whoâs human and whoâs a demon around me!â
Andrew Jenkins suddenly became emotional, a sharp pain in his chest.
Instinctively, he grasped his chest with his right hand.
Staggering, he headed back to his desk.
Quickly, he pulled out some medication and swallowed a pill.
Fury raged within Seraphina as she stared at Andrew Jenkins.
She initially wanted to retort aggressively but seeing Andrew Jenkins clutching his chest and taking his medication caused her to unconsciously furrow her brows, tempering her anger.
Does Andrew Jenkins have a heart problem?
She must clarify this suspicion first so that she can be well-prepared for the future battle over the Jenkins Group.
Two hundred million is nothing compared to the entire Jenkins Group.
Immediately, Seraphinaâs attitude softened a little. Her voice was slightly gentler, âAndrew, Iâll talk to you once youâve cooled down. Our son really is getting married, we canât be inattentive towards him.â
Andrew Jenkins was still clutching his chest, his attitude obstinate, âThereâs nothing to discuss. I wonât give a single penny.â
Seraphina gave Andrew Jenkins a bitter look then stormed out of the CEOâs office in a huff.
Immediately after, she made a phone call.
She must investigate Andrew Jenkinsâs health thoroughly.
At the end of the workday at 5:30, Olivia Jenkins returned the box to the Pearl Lake villa.
Olivia Jenkins sat for a while, staring blankly at the box. She had not opened it and did not know what was in it.
She didnât want to look, she didnât want to think about things that didnât matter anymore.
The bank card, she didnât need it. She left it in the drawer.
Changed into sports wear, Olivia Jenkins went for her private training sessions, and so far, she had not met Daniel.
Before midnight, Olivia Jenkins was back at the hospital for the night shift.
Just as she was finishing patient handovers, Olivia Jenkins received a call from the director.
The director requested her to go to the emergency department to prepare for the arrival of an injured patient, ensuring that the patientâs identity was kept confidential.
Without a moment to spare, Olivia Jenkins hurried to the emergency department.
Unexpectedly, the injured patient turned out to be Daniel Marshall.
At the moment, Daniel Marshallâs face was pale white, seemingly asleep.
Out of medical professionalism, Olivia Jenkins touched his hand; it was freezing cold!
Olivia Jenkins looked at the initial patient medical report: a car accident, two fractured ribs with one rib having pierced the lung, leaking blood into his chest cavity. His left ankle was broken, with fairly good alignment and position of the fracture ends, no obvious periauricular ligament present.
For the joint capsule injury, a cast could be applied, but the lung required an
emergency surgery.
âDaniel Marshall, can you hear me?â
There was no response.
Olivia Jenkins gently slapped Daniel Marshallâs face a few times, and still no
response..
