“We have found Ms. Spencer, but she has a high fever out of cold and is currently taking IV drip, Taylor
replied.
Cassandra said, “I see. Keep taking care of Ondo. We’ll talk about it after he wakes up.”
After providing a brief arrangement, she left the ward.
She wanted to ask Reba directly but immediately dispersed the idea.
Reba did not force Ondo to find her in the rain at midnight, so Cassandra thought she had no
reason to confront her.
Cassandra drove back to Dustmeadow Mansion. After washing up and having breakfast, she took a
shower before going to sleep.
At the hospital, Ondo woke up shortly before eight o’clock in the morning.
At that time, Cassandra had left for more than an hour.
When Ondo opened his eyes, he saw a woman sitting beside him with her head propped up and
eyes closed.
With a frown, he looked at Reba, who was wearing a hospital gown with a pale face. He realized
the situation shortly after.
The anesthetic’s effect had passed, and the wounds on Ondo’s body and his fractured leg were
unbearably painful.
Even with the slightest movement, he hissed in pain.
Reba heard the sound and opened her eyes, ncing at Ondo happily. She said, “Landy, you’re
finally awake! Are you feeling pain? I’ll call the doctor.”
“No need,” Ondo replied with a painful frown. His face was emotionless, and his lips looked pale.
Landy, I’m sorry. It was all my fault for getting you injured,” said Reba.
Reba med herself and felt guilty. She was scared when she learned that Ondo had a car
ident while searching for
her.
“It’s not your fault. How are you? Are you okay?” asked Ondo.
“Yeah, I’m fine. Just have a slight fever. But I feel much better after getting an injection,” Reba
answered with a headshake, with her eyes looking swollen from crying. She turned even more upset
upon seeing Ondo covered in wounds.
Without showing emotions, Ondo asked, “Where are the others?”
He nced around and didn’t see that familiar figure. He frowned deeply, feeling an indescribable
emotion in his mind.

Reba hurriedly replied, “Taylor went to prepare clean clothes and toiletries for you. He’ll be back
soon.
“I see,” Ondo replied without asking further.
He closed his eyes and remained indifferent. He vividly remembered he was driving at a high speed
and avoiding a car running a red light at a crossroads, causing him to collide with a utility pole
Reba looked at Ondo silently and didn’t dare to disturb him.

After a while, Taylor came with the things he prepared.
He asked. “Ms. Spencer, is Mr. Quinn awake?”
“Yeah. He just woke up but fell asleep… replied Reba.
“Taylor, Ondo interrupted as he said lightly. “Send Reba to rest. I’m feeling fine now.”
“Landy, les me take care of you. I can do it,” said Reba.
Reba refused to leave as she wanted to take care of and apany Ondo. After all, she knew
he was injured because of her.
Ondo did not waver and replied indifferently, “You don’t have to. Having Taylor here is enough. You
have a fever and should go to rest, okay?“.
He looked straight at Reba and didn’t give in. In the end, Reba could only nod.
Taylor sent Reba back to her ward before returning to Ondo, Just as he entered the ward,
Ondo asked, “Where’s Cassandra?”
His voice sounded cold, and his expression looked calm yet displeased,
Taylor hurriedly replied, “I immediately contacted Mrs. Quinn when you were sent here. She didn’t
leave your side until this morning, staying with you for a whole night. She only returned after making
sure you were fine. She should have gone home to rest by now.”
The indifference on Ondo’s face finally dispersed, but he still looked displeased.
Taylor asked tentatively, “Mr. Quinn, shall I call her?”
“No. Let her rest,” said Ondo,
Ondo’s tone was indifferent, and his eyes showed a slight coldness, making it clear that he was
upset at a nce.
After that, Taylor was cautious not to make any mistakes for fear of getting scolded by Ondo.
Cassandra slept for a long time before waking up in the afternoon.
Her phone received a few missed calls from Michael.
Cassandra immediately called him back.
She asked, “Michael, what’s up? I was sleeping just now,”
“Nothing serious. I’m just worried about you since it’s alreadyte, and you haven’te to the
company. Your voice sounded a little hoarse. What’s wrong?” Michael asked concernedly.
“Maybe I didn’t get enough rest. I’m not going today. I have revised the design drawings from Hawley
Real Estate, but I’m not very satisfied with some parts. Negotiate with them and see if they’re willing to
modify the parts. If they refuse, we can only improve on the original foundation,” said Cassandra.
After the call, Cassandra got up to wash her face and went downstairs to eat.
She was a little distracted and kept thinking about whether she should tell everyone at the Quinn manor
about Ondo’s ident.
If Ondo intentionally concealed it, no information would get spread.
Chapter 50
However, after some thought, she decided not to interfere as she didn’t want Peter to get worried,
As for Ondo, Cassandra did not receive any call from him.
She thought Ondo should be awake by now.
With narrowed eyes, she hesitated for a while and then sent a message to Nellie, asking her to inquire
about Ondo.
Soon. Neie replied. [Ondo is awake, so rest assured. Due to his fractured leg and wounds on his
body, he needs time to heal while getting some rest.]
[Okay. Got it.] replied Cassandra.
Cassandra’s expression was indifferent,cking any emotions.
Nellie asked. [1 heard he was injured because of Reba?]
Cassandra answered while narrowing her eyes, [Yeah.]
[Why, though? You two are still married, but he’s risking his life for Reba. He shouldn’t treat you like
this.] Nellie replied as she felt bad for Cassandra.
Cassandra was beautiful and talented. Although the Jackson family was no match for the Quinn family,
Nellie thought they couldn’t treat Cassandra as badly as they did right now,
Nellie wanted to say more but ended the topic as she was worried that Cassandra would feel upset.
Cassandra didn’t answer that question and replied instead, [It already happened, but I’m d he’s fine.
Help me keep an eye on him and tell me if there’s anything amiss.]
JOkay, leave this to me,] said Nellie.
Knowing that Ondo was fine, Cassandra lost the intention of going to the hospital.
The incident was like a thorn stuck in her heart, not fatal but was too painful to be ignored.
It felt painful, especially when Nellie’s words pricked her heart. Cassandra hadn’t divorced Ondo yet,
but Ondo had risked his life for Reba, making Cassandra doubt her own position in Ondo’s
heart.
Cassandra thought she could ignore it, but the fact proved that she couldn’t pretend nothing had
happened.
With Cassandra’s refusal to go to the hospital, Ondo also chose not to contact her.
Their rtionship was at an impasse.
After Ondo woke up from the intense pain of his wounds, he let the doctor give him an injection and
fell asleep.
When he woke up again, it was already midnight.
Taylor immediately woke up when Ondo moved slightly. He said, “Mr. Quinn, do you need anything?”
Ondo looked cold, exuding an icy aura that made it difficult for anyone to approach him.
Ondo didn’t respond and couldn’t get up now, even having to rely on a urinary catheter when he
wanted to use the restroom, which made him annoyed by his current state.
He couldn’t sleep all night.

Reba came the next morning.
After getting discharged, she made herself busy by taking care of Ondo.
Vet, Reba felt uncertain about Ondo’s emotionless attitude, so she found a topic and asked,
“Landy, why didn’t Cassandrae to apany you? Is she angry about you getting yourself hurt for
me?”
