Chapter 693 Thirty Sleeping Pills
"ir...my brother..." Niles paused, excited to tears. "He''s still alive," he said, rying the good news.
Cecelia had already heard the news. When she discovered Wesley survived the explosion, she didn''t
doubt a word of it. She knew it. Her older son wouldn''t be taken down so easily. His funeral was
tomorrow, but it seemed there was no need. She was right—Wesley was alive! When she heard about
this, the happy mother took down the ck and white portrait and destroyed all the decorations for the
funeral. She was this close to setting off fireworks to celebrate.
ir, lying in the hospital bed, widened her eyes in great shock. Did she hear him right? Wesley was
still alive?
"ir, you were right. My brother never lied. He didn''t lie to you. His mission is going on smoothly, and
he''lle back on time just as he promised."
Hearing only her breathing, Niles continued, "But don''t tell anyone. His mission is top secret. In fact, he
was on that ship and fell into the sea when the ship exploded. But someone rescued him and took him
to safety. He was unconscious for a few days, though."
"W-where is he now?" It almost cost all of ir''s energy to get out those few words.
"He''s back in D City now. He returned to his undercover work shortly after he regained consciousness.
That''s all I know. What he''s doing there, I have no idea. I just wanted to let you know he''s alive."
Her heart was full of happiness, and ir broke into happy tears. Wesley was alive! She was so
excited that it took a little for her heart to stop racing. ''Thank God! He''s alive, and so am I.''
She was so grateful she thanked the powers that be again and again in her heart.
Joslyn couldn''t help but cut in, "I''m really happy your brother''s alive. But why didn''t he call ir and let
her know? Does he really love her? It''s lucky that we got ir to the hospital in time. Who knows what
would have happened otherwise!" Joslyn became angrier as she said it.
"Got ir to the hospital? Why? What happened?" Niles asked.
Joslyn raised her voice. "ir couldn''t live without your brother. She took sleeping pills tomit
suicide."
"Joslyn..." ir called out in a weak voice to stop her. Now that things were over, she realized what she
did, and how stupid it was. She felt embarrassed hearing Joslyn recount the story to others.
"What? Sleeping pills? Commit suicide? How many? How did she get them?" Niles asked worriedly.
That was what Joslyn wanted to know. "She just woke up. I haven''t asked her yet, but the doctor said
she swallowed at least twenty pills."
"Which hospital? I''d like to see her."
"Second General Hospital."
After ending the call, Joslyn stared at ir angrily. "I never knew you were so ballsy. How could you try
tomit suicide? Did you ever think about me? About your aunt and uncle? Just wait. You''re gonna
get an earful when you recover."
Adalson and his wife came to visit ir earlier that morning. They had gone back home to get some
rest.
ir didn''t say anthying and just listened to Joslyn scold her. She realized her mistake. But now that
she was thinking more clearly, questions started to sprout.
Why didn''t Wesley try to get a hold of her to tell her he was okay? Didn''t he know how sad she was?
If he had called earlier, she wouldn''t have gone to that extreme.
Niles hurried to the hospital. However, before he arrived, ir had fallen asleep again. She was still
very weak from her ordeal.
Joslyn talked with Niles in a low voice. "Your brother is such a jerk. He doesn''t care about ir," she
said between gritted teeth.
Niles was baffled. "Yes, I know. He''s a jerk." He didn''t try to gloss over Wesley''s ws, but he still loved
him. "I''m sure he had his reasons."
Joslyn didn''t buy it. "Humph! Don''t try to defend your brother."
Niles just dropped it. He knew how useless it was to argue with Joslyn. "How''s ir now? Did you ask
her how she got those pills?"
"She was chickenshit. She wanted to die, but didn''t want to jump out a window or sh her wrists. She
didn''t want to go painfully. So she bought thirty sleeping pills from the ck market." Of course, ir
regretted her decision now. Pills were painful too. She didn''t want to experience the pain of getting her
stomach pumped again.
Niles didn''t agree with ir''s extreme behavior, but he couldn''t help but give the sleeping girl a thumbs-
up. She did what she thought was right.
"Tell your brother to treat ir better. Since she''s willing to die for him!" Joslyn demanded.
Niles nodded his head vigorously. "Sure. Maybe we all need to be nicer to her."
On the day ir was discharged from the hospital, she got a tongueshing from each member of the
Ji family.
The whole Li family, including Keith, all called her one by one to give her a piece of their mind.
ir merely listened to them without saying a word back.
Two dayster, she secretly flew to D City.
Although they told her that Wesley was still alive and on a top-secret mission, there was no way she
was going to get peace of mind without seeing him safe and sound.
She went to the same night club and waited there for two days. But he wasn''t there.
Yet, she didn''t know where else to look. He''d been there twice, so she figured he''d be there again.
Finally, on the fifth day, her persistence paid off. She found the man she had missed so much.
Eventually, she found Wesley, chatting happily with a woman in his arms. It was the same kind of thing
he''d done before. He didn''t even notice her.
But she saw him alive, and his usual self. It wasn''t a dream. He didn''t die.
ir smiled with tears in her eyes.
Drying her tears, she put on her shades and silently walked into the club.
She found a seat away from Wesley''s table. She probably wouldn''t be noticed, but she could watch
him.
It was like Wesley was apletely different guy. She never knew he could tease a woman like that.
That evil, naughty smile was simply not him. This Wesley could flirt and even make out with a woman
in public.

He was totally different from the righteous, boring, wooden guy she knew.
She ordered a ss of beer and discreetly stuffed a wad of cash into the bartender''s hand. "Hi. Could
you tell me who that guy is? And who''s that woman he''s with?"
The bartender quickly put the money into his pocket without being noticed by others. "Oh, that guy?
That''s Wayne Chen, Malcolm Chang''s grandson-inw. And she''s Patty Chang, Malcolm''s
granddaughter."
"Grandson-inw?" This address caught her attention. She held her ss tightly.
"Yeah. You''re not from around here, are you? Don''t tell me you have a crush on Wayne too. You girls
are all the same. You all want to climb into his bed. Sure, he''s a hot guy. Give it up,dy. A few days
ago, you might have had a chance. But it''s toote now."
"What do you mean?"
ir was stunned.
The bartender shed a naughty smile. "Sorry. I''ve said too much already. What you gave me only
goes so far."
ir took in his meaning. Luckily, she had brought enough cash with her. She generously stuffed
another wad of bills into his hand. "Go ahead."
"Wayne''s a yboy. He collects pretty girls like other people collect baseball cards. But he and Patty
got their marriage licenses a few days ago. The old man warned him if he fooled around on his
daughter, he''d cut off his little Wayne!"
"M-marriage... licenses?" ir could hardly think of it. He was married to someone else?
"Yeah. They got married. A few days ago. Oh, right! Last Monday, Wayne booked our whole club and
proposed to Patty. Patty was so happy she cried."
''Last Monday...'' That was the day she tried to kill herself with pills.
How ironic! He married another woman while she tried to kill herself over him.
