Chapter 2911
Jaketer walked into the room, asking kindly, "Are you ready, Joan?" Joan sat unmoving from her
position on the sofa, ignoring him.
His gaze sharpened, and his tone grew cold.
"Today''s our big day, and everyone''s waiting for us outside.
The least you could do is cooperate with me? Cooperate?By faking a smile and shaking hands with the
guests outside? She scoffed.
It was an impossible task for her.
Ted barged through the door.
"Mr. Wilson, Mrs. Ledger is here." Jake cleared his throat and readjusted his suit jacket before following
his assistant out.
So this was all just a show put on to impress his snobbish, high-ss peers! Joan was deep in thought.
/s there anything else | could stil! do at this moment? Picking up her handbag, she pulled out a small
packet of powder and poured it all into a ss of water on the table.
| told you, Jake, | am not getting married to you! Mustering up all her courage, she downed the entire
ss of water andy back down on the sofa, her eyes fluttering closed.
"Where''s Joan? She''s runningte!” Jake demanded in a low voice as he and Tedter huddled in the
corner of the lobby.
"Perhaps she''s a little tired,’ Ted stammered out.
Without waiting for the assistant to finish speaking, Jake made a beeline for the dressing room.
Upon his arrival, rage red up within him when he spotted Joan asleep on the sofa.
Is this d*mn woman trying to make me into a public humiliation? "Joan! Wake up! The ceremony is
about to begin!" Jake shouted, but got no response.
"Joan!" Still nothing.
The realization dawned upon Jake like a sh of lightning, and he rushed over to her.
When he tried to shake her awake, blood started trickling out of her nose.
"Joan!" The panic set in.
"Mr. Wilson, it''s nearly time...” Ted entered the room, his jaw dropping at the sight before him.
"The wedding will proceed as usual.
Go over to the other room and inform the backup bride and groom there to take our ces,’ Jake
instructed before picking Joan up in his arms and running out of the room.
Backup bride and groom? Ted''s mind went nk.
The truth was that Jake had hired some actors to y the bride and groom in Joan''s and his ce, just
in case some sort of ident were to happen at the wedding ceremony.
“Wake up, Joan! Hang in there!” Jake held onto her lifeless, doll-like body for dear life as he ran and
ran.
How could she do such a thing? Tears started blurring his vision and dripping down his face.
"Doctor! | need a doctor!" He burst through the main entrance of the hospital, screaming as loudly as
his sore throat would let him.
"Help!" Several hospital staff instantly rushed to his aid.
Jaketer found himself pacing back and forth in front of the emergency operation room, his mind filled
with only prayers for Joan to be alive.
After what seemed like an eternity, a doctor finally came back out with a stern expression on his face.
"If you''d been even a minutete, she might be dead by now.
She tried tomit suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills, but we''ve already flushed the drugs from
her system.
You''d better take good care of her from now on” Wiping away beads of sweat on his forehead, the
doctor walked away.
Suicide by overdose...Do you really hate me that much, Joan? Jake stood frozen, staring nkly off
into the distance.
Meanwhile, Joany motionless in a hospital bed with an IV drip connected to her wrist, looking frail
and sick.
“Larry! Joan tried to kill herself!" Jessica burst into Larry''s office, yelling frantically.
The man was currently taking a nap, head buried in his arms atop his desk.
Naturally, he didn''t catch a single word that she had said.
Even in his dreams, he wasmenting over the fact that it was the day of Joan''s wedding ceremony
and the fact that she was getting married to someone else.
"Hey! Are you listening to me? | said Joan tried to kill herself!" He instantly jerked awake, scrambling to
his feet.
"What? Where is she? How is she now?" he demanded, grabbing hold of Jessica''s shoulders.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.
