Chapter 226


    I said this purely because I was blind for good looks, which, admittedly, was also my Achilles heel. Had


    I not been so blind, I would never have fallen for Jan''s charm.


    The man standing before me was just average looking, nothing like the doting husband I had imagined.


    After all, Janice was a real beauty, the type of woman you could pick out in a crowd.


    In my mind, if Janice were to choose a man, he''d have to be tall and handsome. But the man standing


    before me, Baber, was far from that.

    However, his position of power brought with it a certain gravitas. Perhaps it was his long experience in


    politics that gave him a sense of maturity and wisdom, but he certainly had an imposing intimidating


    aura.


    Especially those deep, sparkling eyes of his were so profound. His eyes conveyed some thoughts, but


    the message he conveyed was one of authority, not of menace.


    For some reason, he reminded me of Ronan.


    Gevena immediately took a step forward, saying, "Baber, let me introduce you. This is Aaliyah, the


    founder of Medsafe Liyah Inc.." Gevena''s introduction was unique, emphasizing my position, but


    ignoring Jan. Then she continued, "She''s also a good friend of Janice''s, we are all close friends!


    She''s been looking after Jta!"


    Baber was very gentleman, with instantly stretching out his hand to me, his sharp eyes fixed on my


    face, but his gaze was disarming, "Ms. Wilburn, it''s a pleasure to meet you! I heard from Janice that


    you''ve not been feeling well, and yet you still take on so much. I really appreciate that!"With just a few


    simple sentences, he conveyed information, making you feel valued and respected.


    And, his hands were incredibly warm and firm. No wonder he''s so sessful in his career!


    "Mr. Forrest, no need for formalities. As a good friend, it''s what we do!" I quickly replied.


    "Just call me Baber, like Gevena does."


    Only then did Gevena ask me, "How''s everything? Is Jta okay?"


    I smiled and quickly shared the good news, "Good news, Jta''s awake! Janice will be relieved!"


    "...Aaliyah!" Suddenly, a weak voice came from the bed, and we all rushed over.


    Janice had woken up at some point and was staring at me with an anxious look on her face.


    I quickly moved over to her bedside, grabbing her hand, "Janice, don''t worry! Jta''s awake, all her


    health indicators are stable, Hannah''s watching over her, and the father-daughter duo has left!


    Plus, we''ve kept the news of her waking up under wraps. I asked Catherine to bring in Dr. Dailey, with


    his assistant been following up on everything. Jta''s doing well, so don''t worry. Just focus on getting


    better so you can go see your sister soon!"


    After hearing my words, Janice let out a sigh of relief, closed her eyes for a moment, and seemed


    exceptionally tired. A tear rolled down her cheek, quickly disappearing into her hair.


    "Don''t cry! It''s a double celebration, what great news! You''re a mom, and your sister''s awake! That''s


    amazing! Janice, it''s a boy!” Gevena leaned in and whispered softly, "Aaliyah''s taken care of


    everything. You just have a rest!"


    Janice pursed her lips, looking particrly gentle. It was the first time I''d seen her like this.


    Just then, a group of doctors briskly walked in, and we quickly moved aside to give them space.


    My phone rang out of the blue, and I quickly stepped out of the room. ncing at the caller ID, I saw


    that it was Jan calling.
