My Sweetheart novel Chapter 227

Just as the car left the Hilton’s, Kathy received a call from Billy—Jennifer fainted from illness.

Kathy immediately asked the driver to turn around. However, noticing that her mother seemed to be exhausted, she requested him to send her mother back first.

“Kathy, be there for her,” Angela advised.

Kathy did not think too much but nodded hard.

Angela looked at her daughter’s figure, tears streaming down her eyes. Was this the right thing to do?

…

Jennifer was quickly taken to the hospital. Only then did Kathy know that Jennifer had been suffering from severe heart failure.

Not long ago, Jennifer had been diagnosed with this disease when she had had a car accident. Although the illness had been contained, it had been hitting her more and more often.

Kathy looked at the red light in the emergency room, unable to hide the worry on her face.

Billy stood at the end of the corridor, looking cold, cigarette butts piling up at his feet.

After a while, he walked over and said, “It’s too late. Go back and rest.”

Kathy frowned and shook her head.

Not only because Angela had advised her to stay, but she was worried about Jennifer.

“You’re not a Hilton. Why do you concern yourself about this?” Billy didn’t sound friendly.

This wasn’t the first time that Jennifer had such an episode, but it was worse.

Thinking of his mother’s abnormal behavior recently, Billy was irritated.

“Furthermore, haven’t you refused to be my mother’s goddaughter?” Billy said mockingly.

In his opinion, Kathy shouldn’t be here pretending to care about Jennifer.

“I will leave when she is out of danger.” Kathy did not want to argue with him.

She could understand how he was feeling. After all, it was his mother.

Nevertheless, she was worried.

Billy squinted, staring at her, his gaze softening.

Only nicotine could calm him down.

Suddenly, Kathy’s phone rang. It was Joseph.

She remembered that she hadn’t told him about being in the hospital.

Answering the phone, she heard Joseph’s familiar voice, “Still at the Hilton’s?”

“Mrs. Hilton had a heart attack. I’m in the hospital.”

“Wait for me.”

After she hung up, the lights in the emergency room went out and Kathy quickly walked over.

The doctor took off his mask and said in a low voice, “The patient is out of danger, but she still needs some time to wake up.”

“Thank you, doctor.”

Jennifer was transferred to an ordinary ward. Kathy wanted to enter, but Billy stopped her.

“Isn’t Joseph coming to get you? You can go.” He looked gloomy.

Kathy lowered her eyes, looked through the window at Jennifer’s sleeping countenance, and slowly turned around.

“If anything happens to her, please let me know immediately.”

“Okay,” Billy replied indifferently.

Joseph had arrived long ago. Walking out of the hospital, Kathy quietly got into his car, still worried about Jennifer.

Joseph grasped her hand and frowned. “Aren’t you too concerned about the Hiltons?”

Kathy remained silent.

She could not understand this feeling, either.

Moreover, she wanted to continue her studies, so a child could cause her trouble.

Most importantly…, the idea of their marriage being a “fake” one stuck in her mind.

Evening called for getting off work, but Joseph was going to attend a business dinner, so Kathy planned to visit Jennifer.

Arriving at the hospital, she didn’t see Billy. The nurse was giving Jennifer a drip.

Seeing Kathy, Jennifer waved at her.

“Child, you must be worried,” Jennifer said gently.

“Mrs. Hilton, how are you feeling today?” Kathy smiled.

“Much better. The doctor changed the medicine. This illness needs time to go away.”

“You will definitely get better.”

“I am an old woman now, and there is always something wrong with my heart. Frankly, I am seeing things more clearly these days.” Jennifer smiled faintly.

At the very least, she wasn’t as anxious and scared as the other patients.

Kathy, however, was not at ease. She picked up the medical record book on the side and started to read. She was a medical student, so she knew about some pathologies.

Jennifer was suffering from chronic heart failure. She wasn’t in a bad condition, but she needed medicine, and she couldn’t get too emotional.

“Mrs. Hilton, I want to see what the doctor has prescribed for you.” Kathy frowned.

She opened the drawer beside her and took some pills, intending to ask Joseph about them when she got back.

“What’s the matter?” Jennifer looked at her with confusion.

“I think there is something wrong with your condition this time, and it may be the medicine. Although the doctor has changed it, I would like to consult my husband, who is a professor of neurology and has done some research in this field. Just to be sure,” Kathy said.

“You are right. I’ve heard of Joseph, but I’ve been coming to this hospital for several years, so there shouldn’t be much of a problem.”

Jennifer frowned, not looking happy when she heard the name Joseph.

But Kathy did not notice her change of mood. Leaving the hospital, Kathy called Joseph.
