You Are The Pursuit of My Life novel Chapter 208

Irene was planning to move back to the Cook family. However, she did not expect Edric to call her that night. He told her that he witnessed Steven being hospitalized and asked if she planned to visit him.

Irene had happened to watch Steven on the TV regarding news of his meeting in the province the day before. Steven seemed energetic then. He did not look sick. Why would he suddenly be admitted to the hospital?

She recalled the time when Steven had pretended to be sick and hospitalized. Irene had a hunch that something must have happened to Steven during his meeting at the province, so he pretended to be sick again. So, she didn't take it to heart.

Not long after dinner, Maisy called to inform Irene that Steven had been admitted into the hospital because he had passed out. She requested Irene to head over to the hospital to visit him.

When Irene rushed to the hospital, there were only Steven and Maisy in the ward. Irene felt skeptical over Deborah and Lily's absence. She thought, "Why isn't Deborah and her daughter here to suck up to Steven? I wonder why they're unwilling to come by."

Maisy stood up when Irene entered and pointed at Steven, who was lying on the bed, "He hasn't woken up yet."

Irene whispered, "What happened?"

"I don't know either," she answered. Steven left the morning two days ago to attend a meeting in the province. He said he would return after three days, which meant he was scheduled to return the next day. However, while preparing dinner on the evening before Steven's supposed return, she received a phone call from Steven's driver. He informed her that Steven had been hospitalized and that she should not tell anyone about it.

Maisy knew that she should not let Deborah and her daughter hear about this matter. Deborah did not stay at home, knowing that her husband Steven was out for a meeting. Since Lily was the only person at home, she found an excuse to visit the ward. When she reached, she learned that Steven had been unconscious all this while. She was anxious and called Irene to get her to come and have a look.

"Where's the driver?" Irene asked Maisy.

"He has been staying here all this while. When I arrived, I told him to go and get his dinner." "Why did he get sick all of a sudden? What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said that it was due to hypertension. He should be fine if he stays for further observation."

The driver entered while they chatted. As the driver was newly employed, he was taken aback to see an unfamiliar face in the ward due to him not seeing Irene before. Maisy hurriedly introduced Irene to him. Irene asked the driver, "What happened before he fainted?"

The driver shook his head and replied, "I drove Mr. Cook to the meeting in the province. According to the itinerary, we were supposed to reach home tomorrow. However, after the meeting, we rushed here instead. On the way home, Mr. Cook suddenly grew pale and said his chest felt uncomfortable. So, I sent him to the hospital. The doctor did a checkup on Mr. Cook when we were at the hospital and said that Mr. Cook was suffering from hypertension that required further observation. Initially I wanted to call his wife, but he stopped me. He only allowed me to contact Maisy and reminded me to tell Maisy to not share this piece of news with anyone."

Irene glanced at Maisy and asked, "Is his hypertension that serious?".

Maisy nodded and said, "He has been on medicine all this time, but an incident like this have never happened before."

Irene always had the impression that Mr. Cook was in good health, but she didn't expect that he was already on medication. She began to feel concerned, so she went to the doctor.

After Irene left for a while, Steven woke up. Maisy was joyful and said, "Mr. Cook, you're awake! Do you feel any better?"

Steven nodded as he struggled to sit up. The driver quickly helped him up while Maisy asked Steven caringly, "Mr. Cook, what do you feel like eating? I'll go buy it for you."

Steven glanced at the driver and said, "Get me some congee." The driver acknowledged his request and left. Once his figure disappeared from the door, Steven looked at Maisy and asked, "She wasn't home, right?"

He was obviously referring to Deborah. Maisy nodded and replied, "She left early this morning, saying that she had an appointment with someone to shop for beauty products. She hadn't reached home when I left."

Steven's face darkened, "What was she wearing when she went out?"

Maisy recalled Deborah's outfit for the day to Steven, "What's wrong, Mr. Cook?"

Steven remained quiet. On his way home, he subconsciously looked beside him and saw a couple kissing inside a car parked by the roadside. That lady's figure looked similar to Deborah's. At that moment, he felt his heart drop, and fury began to surge within him.

When he saw that the lady looked like Deborah, molten anger filled him. He instantly felt dizzy and had trouble breathing. If he had not have experienced any adverse symptoms at that moment, he would have surely gotten the driver to stop the car to observe what was going on.

Although the woman who had kissed the man in the car looked like Deborah, her clothes were different from what Maisy had described. Did he mistake her for someone else?

While Steven was deep in thought, Maisey spoke again, "Irene came to see you. She saw that you hadn't woken up, so she went to look for the doctor because she was worried about you."
