Chapter 1013 Worries and Concerns


    Without even bothering to put on her slippers, Janie rushed to the window.


    She pulled back the curtains and looked down, only to find that the car from earlier had disappeared.


    As it approached the intersection leading out of themunity, she could only catch a glimpse of its tail


    lights turning the corner.


    "Absurd!" Janie pped her forehead in disbelief. "How could I have thought it was him? I must be


    losing my mind!"


    Meanwhile, Benjamin drove back to Glenbrook, took a shower, read a book, and went to bed.


    Or at least he tried to sleep, but the night passed restlessly, with his mind filled with images of Janie


    and Harold together.


    This restlessness was something he had never experienced before.


    Perhaps he was genuinely worried about her?


    After all, she was a young woman, intoxicated and without anyone to take care of her.


    The next morning, Benjamin got up, freshened up, and headed out early.


    He bought two breakfast meals and drove to Janie''s apartment without hesitation.


    Taking the elevator to the seventeenth floor, he carried the breakfast confidently and knocked on her


    door.


    "Knock, knock." Silence echoed from inside, no response.


    "Janie, are you up?" Benjamin knocked again, raising his voice slightly.


    He had made up his mind. If he cared about her, then he cared about her.


    Although they didn''t have any other formal rtionship, friends could still look out for each other, right?


    So what if he was checking on a friend who had a bit too much to drink?


    "Sir," the neighbor next door opened her door, sticking her head out. "Are you looking for Ms. Janie?"


    "Breakfast," Benjamin held up the neatly packaged meals in his hands.


    "Ms. Janie left almost an hour ago," the neighbor said, "carrying a suitcase, it seemed like she was


    going on a trip."


    Benjamin remained silent.


    Janie had left? And it had been over an hour already?


    "Oh," Benjamin finally reacted, nodding hastily. "I see, thank you."


    The neighbor retreated and closed her door.


    Benjamin nced at the breakfast in his hands, walked over to the nearby trash bin, stepped on the lid,


    and threw it away.


    Emmeline arrived at Nightfall Cafe and called Janie, wanting to invite her to go to the hospital to visit


    Doris.


    The call went through, but it showed that Janie''s phone was turned off.


    Emmeline assumed Janie was on vacation, enjoying azy morning, so she let it go. She made some


    pastries herself, bought flowers on the way, and headed to the hospital to visit Doris.


    To her surprise, the hospital room was empty.


    Emmeline was puzzled when she saw Doris returning with her sister, Jennie.


    "Emma," Doris said, "you''re here."


    Emmeline paused, recognizing Doris''s voice...


    No need to say it. Waylon had intervened.


    Sure enough, Doris grabbed Emmeline''s hand excitedly. "Emma, my vocal cords havepletely


    healed! I just had a check-up, and the doctors were amazed. They kept asking me what happened, but


    it''s all thanks to Mr. Adelmar!"


    "What do you mean, thanks to him?" Jennie rolled her eyes. "You spent $150,000 on medication!"


    "What do you mean, thanks to him?" Jennie rolled her eyes. "You spent $150,000 on medication!"


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    $150,000 on medication?


    Emmeline almost burst outughing.


    So Waylon prescribed medication to Waylon and charged a whopping $150,000?


    Waylon shouldn''t be that shady, should he?


    "Sis," Doris turned to Jennie and said, "Mr. Adelmar''s medication is so miraculous. Even if it cost


    $200,000, it would still be worth it, right? Otherwise, if my vocal cords had long-termplications, it


    wouldn''t be a matter of money anymore."


    Jennie pursed her lips but didn''t say anything, seemingly agreeing with her sister''s words.


    "Now, what about now?" Emmeline asked. "Can you be discharged?"


    "Yes," Doris said excitedly, "the doctors have permitted me to be discharged. I was just about to


    complete the paperwork."


    "I''ll handle it," Emmeline said, "you go pack your things."


    "Thank you, Ms. Emmeline," Doris blushed, looking lively and spirited.


    She felt incredibly lucky to have encountered Emmeline and Waylon in this lifetime.


    Emmeline took care of the discharge paperwork while Doris finished packing her belongings.


    "But where will my sister go?" Jennie asked. "I haven''t had a chance to find a ce to stay while I was


    here with Doris."


    "It''s not urgent," Emmeline smiled. "First, let me take Doris to see the two babies, and then we can


    discuss the housing issue."
