Chapter 645 Hospitalized
At that moment, an idea popped up in her mind. I might not have a way to do this, but someone else might. She took her phone over and gave Cole a call. “I’d like to request to return to the army force, Cole,” she said.
“Your injury isn’t fully healed yet. How can you say such a thing? I want you to focus on recuperating,” he replied.
“But I feel like I’m causing Nicholas a lot of trouble,” she mumbled in a rather resentful tone. She was hinting to Cole that Nicholas didn’t genuinely want to take care of her. Cole got the message on the other end of the line, and he sighed for a moment before speaking. “Fine. I’ll come over to visit you in two days. If your injury isn’t healed by then, you’ll have to continue recuperating. You don’t need to care about anything else,” he said.
“…Fine.” Janet pretended to sound like she was unwilling to agree, but she was actually speaking with a wide grin on her face. She had planned for all of this to happen all along. She might not be able to keep Nicholas around, but it didn’t mean that Cole couldn’t do it.
After ending the call, Janet headed over to the washroom. Even with Cole’s help, she would still have to make her injury more severe in order for her plan to go smoothly. She took a glance at the scars on her body before coming to a firm decision. She began tearing her wounds apart without any hesitation.
“Ouch…” She hissed in pain as cold sweat trickled down her forehead. Her cheeks had regained their color a while ago, but she looked extremely pale after hurting herself again. Drip, drip, drip. Fresh blood trickled down to the ground, forming a pool of red. When she looked at her wounds again, they seemed really serious. That evening, Janet had a really high fever. She had showered with cold water after tearing her wounds apart.
Sally wasn’t aware of any of this, and she was shocked when she found Janet lying unconsciously on her bed. She immediately told Kaiden and the rest of the men to send Janet to the hospital. Sally only had the time to call Nicholas after she got to the hospital.
“Miss Brenner is sick, Master Nicholas! She’s in the hospital. Do you want to come over?” Sally asked. “I got it.” Nicholas frowned as he ended the call. He had been about to get off work to go home for dinner with Gregory. However, it seemed like he would have to delay his plans. He didn’t know what Janet was trying to do—she had been fine when she left the office earlier.
“To the General Hospital,” he told Edward after getting into the car. Once they got there, Nicholas rushed to the ward just to find the doctors coming out of the room. “What’s up with the patient in there?” Nicholas asked with an icy look on his face.
“She accidentally tore her wounds, and her wounds got infected. She didn’t come for treatment immediately, so she had a fever because of some inflammation,” the doctor explained.
“Thanks for the hard work,” Nicholas replied flatly. “No worries at all. It’s my job.” The doctor responded with a polite smile before leaving. Nicholas walked into the ward to find Janet on an IV drip. Her face was extremely pale as she lay unconscious on the bed. Both Sally and Kaiden were sitting each on one side of the bed, and they quickly got to their feet when Nicholas came in. “I’m sorry, Master Nicholas. I failed to take care of Miss Brenner.” Sally admitted to her mistakes with a guilty look on her face.
Nicholas had ordered her to take care of Janet, yet she didn’t know that Janet’s wounds had been torn apart. She felt like she had failed to fulfill her tasks. Nicholas didn’t acknowledge the woman’s apology. “How did she tear her wounds?” he asked with a stern expression.
“Well…” Sally didn’t know how to answer this question.
Sally didn’t know how or when Janet had torn her wounds, after all. Kaiden’s eyes lit up at that moment. “She fell while she was on her way back. That’s how she tore her wounds apart.”
Nicholas no longer suspected anything after hearing this. He simply continued to question Kaiden. “Why didn’t she come straight to the hospital if she knew that her wounds had reopened?”
“It didn’t look too serious just now, and she didn’t want to cause any trouble, so she decided not to go to the hospital. We didn’t expect her to get a fever at night,” Kaiden replied.
