Chapter 151
Catherine seemed to have figured out the situation, a wicked grin spreading across her face. "So, did
he fall sick?"
I rose to my feet, slung my purse over my shoulder, and arched an eyebrow. "He’s been sick for a
while. Time to head to the hospital!"
Without another word, I headed towards the door, with Catherine trailing behind and reminding me,
"Don''t forget to keep me posted. I''d love to share in the schadenfreude. I''m dying to see Dawson get
hiseuppance."
"Easy there. The show has just begun!" I cast her a scornful nce. "You''ll get your fill."
With that, I hopped into my car and leisurely drove towards Wellbeing General Hospital. By the time I
got there, all the Dawsons, except for Jerome, were present. And it seemed they all looked terrible on
their faces.
I made a beeline for the hospital bed, where I found Jan''s face as pale as a ghost. He looked utterly
defeated.
"What happened, darling? How did you end up in this state?" I asked, my face a mask of concern and
anxiety.
Jan didn''t respond. I grabbed his hand, stroked his forehead, and checked his face. "Fever again?
I’ve told you that you couldn’t ignore it when you were unwell, especially when you had the frequent
fevertely. What did the doctor say?"
Before Jan could answer, Hazel, unable to contain herself any longer,shed out at me, "You are
one to talk! How dare you! He’s your husband. How could you have neglected him like this? He''s been
sick, and you just left him to fend for himself?"
"I''ve tried to get him to the hospital every time, but he always refused to go! Why are you so upset,
Hazel? What''s really going on?" I looked at Hazel, demanding answers.
Behind her, my father-inw Farley stood, pulling a long face.
"I''m going to ask the doctor!" I dered, rising to my feet. But Jan grabbed my hand. "It''s okay. The
doctor just left. I''m just a bit over fatigued. A good night''s sleep will do me good."
"But how can overfatigue cause recurring fevers?" I persisted, determined to get to the bottom of this.
I was sure the Dawson family knew something they weren''t telling me. Otherwise, they wouldn''t all look
so gloomy. I couldn''t help but feel a twinge of satisfaction and sneered inside. “They finally had it
Jesper stepped forward. "Don''t worry, Aaliyah. Jan has a mild case of pneumonia. He''s been
overworking himself and neglected it a bit, causing some mild pulmonary fibrosis. It''s no big deal, and a
few days in the hospital will help him recover. Don''t fret."
"What? Pneumonia? Pulmonary fibrosis? Is there something to do with the pandemic recently? How
long will he have to stay here?" I asked, incredulous.
"He''ll be discharged once the inmmation subsides. It takes time to heal," Jesper exined, his eyes
hidden behind his sses, scanning Jan as he spoke.
Jan squeezed my hand, weakly telling me, "You should go home, darling. You need to take care of
the kids. Spending too much time in the hospital isn''t good for you. It''s crowded in here and risky."
"I should stay. You all can go back, I..."
"Go home now. The kids are important. I’ll go home soon after I''ve had my antibiotics!" Jan
interrupted me impatiently before I could finish my words.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.
It all clicked. They all knew the prognosis before I arrived. Jan tried hard to shield me from the news
and wanted me to leave soon.
Just then, the doctor walked in with a couple of assistants. As he was about to speak, Jesper rushed
over. "Doctor, I need to speak with you. I have a few more questions. Pleasee with me." With that,
he steered the doctor out of the room, as if fearing the doctor would disclose something.
None of this escaped my notice.
At that moment, Jerome strode in. His eyesnded on me standing by Jan''s bed. He quickly
swallowed whatever he was about to say. His hawk-like eyes bore into me, a cryptic smile ying on
his lips. "Aaliyah, you''re here too."
