Chapter 142
At that moment, Jenna rushed into the hospital mom. Upon seeing her, Colt quietly stepped out.
Jenna’s arrival was so quick that even Sophie was taken aback.
“What happened to you? Why are you covered in bruises?” Jenna looked on with eyes full of concem.
“It was just a minor car accident, nothing serious. Sophie stretched out her arm, “See, I can still move
“You call this minor?” Jenna gazed at Sophie’s injuries, unable to imagine what had transpired the night before. “How come you didn’t contact me all night. And James, what kind of husband has he been?”
At the mention of James, Sophie’s expression grew somber. “He’s in the next room.”
As soon as Sophie finished speaking, Jenna stood up and headed for the hospital room door. Sophie barely had time to stop her when Jenna saw Nichole stepping out from the neighboring room.
Nichole seemed to be instructing Colt about something, and Jenna snapped coldly, “You again?”
Nichole noticed Jenna and frowned slightly, but she wasn’t intimidated-after all, they were in a hospital
Colt, trying to defuse the situation, interjected, “Ms. Nichole, Ill take you home now
“Thank you, Colt
Nichole looked at Colt like a startled deer, grateful for his intervention.
Although Colt didn’t care for Nichole, he didn’t want the situation to escalate-
Jenna witnessed the whole scene. As Nichole passed by Jenna, she wore a smug smile.
Jenna was furious, “Stop right there!”
Nichole halted and turned to Jenna, saying, “Ms. Jenna, I know you don’t like me, but this is a hospital. Patients need rest, and surely you wouldn’t want to stress Sophie out, right?”
“You!”
Realizing Jenna couldn’t do much, Nichole smirked and said, “Ms. Jenna, you are really considerate. Well, I be going now.” “That woman has no shame, showing up here at the hospital like she owns the place. Does she think she’s James’ wife now?” “Just let it go.” Sophie said, “James saved me this time. For his sake, I won’t make things difficult for Nichole.”
“He saved you? It might as well have been Nichole who put you in this situation.”
“It wasn’t Nichole.”
“It wasn’t her? Then who was it?” Jenna looked confused.
Sophie didn’t know where to begin. She didn’t want to worry Jenna with the Russell family’s issues.
Jenna felt Sophie’s reluctance, and patted her hand. “Okay, what’s important is that you recover.”
“Let’s not talk about this right now”
“Why?”
When Sophie didn’t respond, Jenna tentatively asked, “Is it because you’re afraid Colby will find out?”
“Yes.”
It was strange to Sophie that she was actually afraid of Colby finding out. She didn’t want to worry him, nor did she want him to find out it was Isaac’s doing and potentially react without mercy.
“Alright, if you don’t want them to know, I won’t tell
However, Jenna quickly realized the issue. She examined Sophie and said, “But look at you,
it’s unlikely no one will notice.”
This accident had left Sophie with bruises all over. Sophie couldn’t just disappear for over a month just as her company was getting
started.
Jenna was troubled, “Also, I spoke with, Adler on my way here..”
Sophie opened her mouth but couldn’t find the words.
If Adler knew…
