    Chapter 158 Maybe I Overthought It


    How did Mother and Rachele?


    I told him Carley’s room number, hung up the phone, and was about to go downstairs to pick him up


    when Walter stopped me, “What’s Wrong?”


    “My mom and the others have arrived,” I said to Walter, then walked to the elevator to wait. After a


    moment, a shadow fell over me. I


    nced sideways and saw a tall, upright figure standing next to me. It was Walter.


    Seeing this, I slightly furrowed my brow, what was he doing?


    “I’ll go with you to pick it up,” he said, his expression serene.


    Unable to discern his thoughts, I didn’t say anything more.


    “Ding!” The elevator door opened, and inside were my mother and Rachel. Seeing Walter and me


    waiting outside, Rachel grinned and said, “Tabatha, Mr. Hinton, are you going out?”


    I shook my head, reached out to help my mother out of the elevator, and said, “Didn’t Mr. Borseth just


    call? How did you get up here so quickly?”


    Before Mother could speak, Rachel said, “Olivia told us. We met downstairs. She was waiting for Mr.


    Borseth to park the car.”


    Did Olivia alsoe?


    I smiled and led my mother to the door of Carley’s ward. William had already finished visiting Carley


    and came out. Seeing a few more

    people outside, he was somewhat surprised and greeted my mother.


    When he looked at Rachel, before he could even speak, Rachel had already extended her hand and


    said, “Mr. Hinton, I’m Rachel. I haven’t properly thanked you forst time. These are some health


    supplements I’ve prepared for Carley. I hope you won’t mind.”


    What she was carrying in her hands were all high-quality ginseng and matsutake mushrooms, most of


    which were quite expensive. The Hinton family naturally didn’tck these, but it was still a thoughtful


    gesture. Seeing this, William smiled softly, took the items and handed them to Emma, looking at Rachel


    and saying, “Ms. Martin, you’re too kind. Last time was just a small effort on my part. You’re my sister-


    in-w’s friend, I wouldn’t ignore you. But thank you foring to visit my grandmother, I’ll thank you


    on her behalf first.”


    Rachel waved with a blush, her gaze falling on Emma. She paused slightly, then smiled and said, “This


    is…”


    “This is my wife, Emma. You and Tabatha can just call her sister-in-w,” William introduced.


    Emma handed the thing in his hand to Dale, looked at Rachel with a gentle smile and said, “Hello.”


    Rachel chuckled andplimented Emma a few times.


    I always felt that something was off about the atmosphere, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on what


    was wrong at the moment.


    Carley hadn’t slept for long before she woke up. The people who came to visit her had entered the


    ward, and the once quiet ward became lively again.


    It was already dinner time, Walter made a call to arrange for dinner. I had been busy all day and was


    somewhat tired. The ward was full of people, I didn’t bother to squeeze in, so I simply sat on the rest

    the corridor.


    When my mind was nk, an extra person sat down next to me. It was Alexander.


    “What are you thinking about?” The voice of Alexander came from beside her ear.


    With my eyes closed, I asked wearily, “Howe you all are here?” I could understand why mom


    came to see Carley, but why was Rachel here too?


    Alexander was a smart man, he understood the meaning behind my words. He directly said, “Rachel


    mentioned that the eldest young master of the Hinton family had saved her. She had been unable to


    find an opportunity to express her gratitude. Today, as Mr. William came to visit Carley, she took this


    opportunity to thank her lifesaver.”


    I pursed my lips, this seemed to make sense.


    “What’s wrong?” He asked, noticing my furrowed brow.


    Opening my eyes, I let out a slight sigh and shook my head, saying, “No, I might be overthinking.”


    Pausing for a moment, I turned to him and asked, “By the way, are you dating Olivia?”


    I asked bluntly, he obviously hesitated, quickly shook his head and said, “Don’t talk nonsense, I’m very


    busy, where do I have time to date.”


    “You didn’t like her?” I noticed you two seemed to be quite close recently.


    He didn’t respond to me, instead cunningly changed the subject, “Weren’t you divorcing Walter? What’s


    the situation now?”-

    Ile really hit the nail on the head. His question instantly killed my mood for gossip. I leaned back in my


    chair, staring at the ceiling, and said, “Given the current trend, I’m afraid I won’t be able to leave Walter


    anytime soon.”


    “What do you mean?” He frowned, looking at me with a face full of disappointment, “You’re not


    reluctant, are you? Tabatha, have you forgotten the pain once the wound has healed? How long has it


    been since the incident at the Hinton family’s old house, and you’ve already forgotten?”


    I held my forehead, quickly opening my mouth to exin, “Stop, don’t get excited. I can’t leave now, it’s


    not that I can’t let go, it’s because of Carley. I have no feelings for Walter anymore.” Seeing his


    disbelief, I raised two fingers above my head and swore, “I can assure you that I have no lingering


    feelings for him.”


    After speaking, I noticed something off about his gaze. I couldn’t help but turn my head to follow his line


    of sight, unexpectedly meeting Walter’s deep and gloomy gaze.
