Chapter 191 I Finally Caught You Cheating On Zed


    As soon as Jean saw Shirley, she looked for a way to avoid her. But it was toote. Shirley had spotted


    Jean.


    "Sis..." Shirley''s voice echoed in the hallway. A number of people turned to see who had shouted in a


    hospital.


    Giving in to the situation, Jean faced Shirley who was straight ahead.


    Red in the face, Shirley was breathing loudly as anger rose inside her. Resenting Jean, she said, "The


    hospital says dad''s situation is stable now but they want us to leave." Her eyes pierced through Jean''s


    N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    calm expression and implored her to join her in fighting the hospital against this move.


    Howe?


    When Jean had heard the nurse say that Henry was almost half dead, she expected him to be in a


    terrible condition at the moment.


    Listening to what Shirley had just told her, she turned to the nurse.


    Jean''s curious gaze was noticed by the nurse. In a displeased tone, the nurse informed her, "You can''t


    afford the medical bills. If we don''t ask you to leave, what choice are we left with? You can''t continue to


    stay here without paying your bills."


    They couldn''t afford the medical bills?


    The Wen family was never so poor, irrespective ofnd or nond, that they could not afford Henry''s


    medical bills.


    Suddenly, Jean began tough and asked, "Nurse, is there a misunderstanding here?"


    How was that possible that the Wen family cannot afford to pay Henry''s medical bills?


    "There''s no misunderstanding. We... indeed can''t afford dad''s hospital bills anymore. You have no idea


    how much the hospital has charged for dad''s medicine, nursing and other medical bills. His stay has


    used up all the cash we had." Shirley could feel her ears burning as she took her half-sister aside to


    exin how their fortunes had reversed. Shirley acted as if it were truly unfortunate and she had no


    part to y in their ''poverty''.


    "Shirley, do you take me for an idiot? No matter how poor the Wen family is, howe you can''t afford


    just tens of thousands of dors?"


    Before Henry got into the hospital, weren''t the Wen family all dressed in luxury designerbels? Didn''t


    you all dine at high-end exclusive restaurants? Jean shook her head with disbelief.


    "I just said we can''t. Jean, you think it to be impossible, right?" A vicious look appeared on Shirley''s


    face as she stared at Jean and said, "It''s all because of you. You cut off your rtionship with us in


    front of the Qi family. What do you think that means to a person who bends where the wind is blowing?


    Yes. Without thatnd, the Wen family was supposed to only fall into legal disputes and our problems


    would have been temporary. But without the help of the Qi family, do you think money-minded people


    will cooperate with us?


    After the very next day of the falling out, the Wen Group received a notice of cancetion of all our


    contracts. This even made some shareholders withdraw their investment from thepany. The Wen


    Group is inplete shambles now. What do you think got dad into the hospital? He was so mad at


    you that his body couldn''t take this anymore. Believe me, you are to be med for all our woes. You


    don''t even remember our kindness. How can you set us up in such a tight bind, we, the Wens who


    brought you up..."


    Shirley''s eyes were animated with fury. She acted as if she had suffered a great injustice at the hands


    of Jean.


    Shirley''s outpouring of anger made Jean purse her lips.


    This was certainly not what Jean had expected for the Wen family, but she had still triggered it.


    Culpable for her negligience, she felt sorry for the Wen family.


    The Wen Group was really going down?


    Her daydreams all revolved around the downfall of the family, specially when they mercilessly harassed


    her.


    The loss of power for the Wen family meant a helpless Joy. All this while, Joy had been using Jean as if


    she were a pawn through Henry. Fantasizing about their end meant an end to her misery as well.


    Now that her fantasy wasing true, Jean didn''t look forward to their fall one bit.


    "What? You feel guilty now? Jean, stop pretending to be innocent. If you have any conscience, do


    something and make up to us. Even if you don''t care about dad who is lying on the hospital bed,


    remember that you are also a Wen." Jean''s silence had emboldened Shirley to bombard her with


    taunts and usations.


    "Why should I make up for it?" Jean replied with a sneer, "You are also a Wen. Why haven''t you done


    anything about it? You are so tricky that you kidnapped my grandma to extort money from me. Shirley,


    are you even human?"


    Just because Jean had been silent through her emotional rant, Shirley thought that she had almost


    talked Jean into her n.


    But it hardly crossed her mind that Jean would bring up what they had done to her grandmother. But


    now Shirley was shamed into speechlessness.


    As people overheard most of the words the step sisters exchanged, Shirley couldn''t bare her malice


    unabashedly. ''Jean, I underestimated you, '' she thought silently.


    "Don''t think Zed will protect you all the time just because you are married to him. Men are always


    seeking new love. Once he is bored with you, your happiness won''tst long. I am saying this with a


    fair deal of warning. It is in your interest to help us right now or maybe, one day when you are


    heartbroken you won''t even be left with a ce to heal."


    With a piercing gaze, Shirley said.


    "Don''t worry about it. Even if that day ising, I won''te back to the Wens to be mocked at by


    you." As soon as Jean retorted, she looked at Shirley as if she were an insect and said with impatience


    all over her face, "Get out of my way."


    Jean''s arrogance made Shirley want to rip her face off and teach her a lesson in that very minute.


    Nheless, they were surrounded by people who were curiously observing them. With no better


    choices, Shirley finally held back her anger and took a step aside.


    Tossing a portion of her glossy hair behind, Jean saw straight past Shirley with her chin held high.


    "What makes you so proud? It won''t be long before you cry. You''d better take care or else your crying


    face will soon make you butt-ugly." Shirley muttered angrily and looked where Jean was going.


    Wondering what Jean''s business was at the hospital, Shirley thought that Jean didn''t look sick. Plus,


    her grandma too had been sent abroad by Zed to receive better treatment.


    Then what business did Jean have here?


    She read the red sign above the corridor. The inpatient department.


    Was she visiting someone?


    Or was she hiding some secret?


    With a glint of mischief in her eyes, Shirley began to follow Jean.


    It was hard for Jean to imagine that Shirley would follow her.


    Jean went to Uncle Elian''s office first. Standing next to the window, he greeted her with a smile on his


    face. He told her how Moore was on his way to recovery and she need not worry. In fact, it had been


    several hours since Moore woke up. Approaching his ward with hope, Jean opened the door quietly.


    As Moore noticed the delicate face of Jean peep in, the corners of his lips twitched into a sweet smile.


    He delightfully asked, "What are you doing here?"


    "I''m worried about you. So here I am." Jean answered with an infectious smile. She walked to his


    bedside, grabbed a chair and sat down facing his excited but pale face.


    "What''s there to worry about? I''m not a child. Besides, Doctor Elian said that as long as I take good


    rest, I''ll recover soon. If you have other issues to deal with, you can go ahead." Seeing her dressed in a


    formal peach chiffon blouse and a teal pencil skirt, Moore thought that perhaps she was on her way to


    work. She wondered what she did for a living though.


    Remorse were still entwined in Jean''s joy of seeing an alive Moore. His considerateness and smiling


    nature was something she least expected at this time. The fact that he didn''t me her at all was


    something she couldn''t even begin to fathom.


    Jean also learnt that Moore had asked to be taken off anesthesia, although he could hardly take the


    pain. He knew beingpletely drug-free would help him heal as soon as possible.


    Seeing him endure this degree of pain and tell her not to inconvenience herself was too self-effacing for


    even Jean. Thinking of this, Jean began to quitely weep overwhelmed by the niceness of the person


    she had hit two days ago.


    "Why have you started crying all of a sudden?" Moore instantly panicked at seeing her tears.


    "What a slut, Jean! I have finally caught you cheating on Zed..."
