Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 218

As Catherine and I stepped into Janetta's hospital room, we were astounded by the sheer number of people gathered inside, giving off an ominous vibe.

Upon a closer look, I saw Irving was among them, surrounded by his posse.

Irving was facing off with Janice, the air between them sizzling with tension.

Janice, heavily pregnant, was seated on Janetta's bed while Irving was standing on the opposite, with a young girl by his side. The girl was striking, with clear eyes, rosy lips, and a radiant smile. She bore a striking resemblance to Janice.

It could only be Nettie Bradlee, Janetta and Irving's daughter.

Nettie wore a cold expression, her aloof demeanor making it unclear whose side she was on.

Irving turned to glance at us as we entered, nodding slightly in acknowledgment but remaining silent.

The tension made me uncomfortable and unsure of what to do.

However, seeing Geneva by Janice's side, I walked in confidently, approaching the bed to look at Janetta.

Janetta lay motionless on the bed, her face pale, devoid of any signs of life.

Truth be told, if it weren't for the beeping machines by her bedside, one could easily mistake her for a corpse.

The readings on the monitors were slightly below normal, showing no signs of her regaining consciousness.

I took a step back, observing Irving decently dressed in a suit and polished shoes. Middle-aged, he had started to develop a slight paunch, a sign of prosperity.

Irving and I went way back. When I was running my company, his pharmaceutical business was booming.

Later, after I handed over my company to Jaylan and fell ill, I lost touch with Janetta.

Life could be so unpredictable. I was unaware of her accident that left her in a vegetative state!

I was even more surprised that Irving had taken a new wife!

Irving, however, stayed close to Jaylan after I stepped down.

I learned about this from Janice after I woke up.

Seeing the standoff in the hospital room, I held my breath, silently observing the tension unfold.
