Chapter 31 We Connected
Jessica was clenching her fists which were a bit trembling.
She looking up at the hospital in front of her, and she didn’t expect that she would be back to here after
a few days.
But, it was Louis who was in hospital.
Jessica didn’t know anything that happened to her since she had a high fever last night.
Her heart ached when she heard what those medias were gossiping.
No wonder Joyce would come to the Carters Group mansion and slapped her, Joyce must mistake her
as the girl in Louis’s car last night.
Jessica took a deep breath and walked inside the hospital.
The house of the Carters was already in a mess.
Benjamin’s blood pressure was greatly elevated when he was informed that Louis had a car accident.
And now he had to stay in bed.
Shirley was suddenly in a horror and she seemed to be ten years older overnight.
She was throwing herself down on Benjamin’s bed and she tried her best to hold back her tears and
then said gently, “Benjamin, Don’t worry, Johnny has already gone to the hospital. Louis will be fine,
and you need to take care! Don’t worry too much and take it easy, OK?”
Benjamin whose hair was all grey lying on the bed sighed, and he held Shirley’s hands firmly, “Shirley, I
am getting older and older. But I am so lucky to have you and you always support me, thank you…”
“What are you talking about? You don’t need to thank me.” Shirley choked with sob and chimed,
“Benjamin, I know Louis is the son you love the most…”
Benjamin nodded his head and said, “and he is always the one who is against me and makes me worry
about him the most.”
“You are just too strict to him. You always put lots of pressure on him since he was a kid and you force
him to do anything you want. Now, he is more excellent than you as you said, but he isn’t willing to
listen to you.”
Benjamin sighed, “I have three kids. The oldest one is too weak and he has no guts; the youngest is Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
too careless and casual, and he is just like a kid and all he wants is to hook up girls…”
When Shirley heard what he commented on the youngest son, her hands couldn’t help trembling.
Benjamin patted on her arms and comforted her and chimed, “Shirley, I know you gave birth to Johnny,
and I know that you don’t want to be strict with him. But Louis is the best among them three. But it’s a
pity that Louis is just so assertive and stubborn that even I fail to control him.”
“Benjamin, are you still going to ask Louis marry Joyce?”
Speaking of marriage between the Carter and the Davis, Benjamin’s face sunken, “The Davis helped
me at that time, and Joyce fell head over heal for Louis. Since Joyce tried to commit a suicide last time,
I always feel that we are so sorry for her. So, how could I turn down their marriage?”
“But, I am afraid that Louis would reject it. You know that he sees marriage as a very important
decision. Even that year, you forced him that only he gets married and gives birth to baby can he be the
successor of the Carters Group. But he is willing to just have a baby with some other woman than gets
married to someone he doesn’t love.” Shirley sighed when she was thinking of the past.
“You’re right…”Benjamin seemed to recall the memory that happened that year. “Luckily, you helped
arrange for him, or he could just find any other disreputable women to give birth to a baby and I would
be pissed off.”
“But Matthew is a very good, isn’t he?”
“Yes, luckily, he is a good boy, but he is also stubborn like his father.” Speaking of Matthew, Benjamin
was smiling, and he chimed, “but Matthew is a bit different than before…”
“You also have the same feeling.” Shirley smile gently and brightly. “But I think Matthew is much cuter
than before, at least he would like to stay with me and calls me grandma all the time.”
Benjamin nodded his head, “you’re right, he is much cuter than before…”
Shirley smiled and she seemed to remember something and said, “Johnny said that there was a
woman in Louis’s car last night.”
“I told him that the woman is a trouble! But he ignored me!” Benjamin was a bit angry and kept in
silence.
Shirley didn’t say a word either.
After a while, he sighed and said, “Fine, as long as he can marry to Joyce, I don’t care what he will do.”
“No wonder Johnny always says that you are stubborn. I think Louis inherits from you, you two are so
stubborn and will never give in.” Shirley giggled and chimes, “You guys seemed to be enemies in your
previous birth, but you two now have to be in father and son relationship.”
Benjamin laughed wearily and his eyes were showing a bit of pride, “You’re right. But he has to call me
dad.”
The Central Hospital, VIP Ward.
Jessica saw that there were hundreds of safety guards standing in the corridor and all their job was to
protect the VIP ward on the sixth floor.
She guessed Louis must be there.
She felt so nervous and there was a picture of his cold but gorgeous face showing up in her mind. And
she could imagine that he was lying on the bed and he was so weak… Jessica’s tears welled up in her
eyes suddenly.
“Miss, sorry, you can’t get inside.” A safety guard in black stopped her.
She tried to calm herself down and took out a staff card from her handbag and said, “I am Mr. Carter’s
secretary. This is my card. Please let me get in and have a look at him.”
The man got her staff card and glanced at it. “Wait a sec, I will ask for you.”
Then she saw that the man was holding her card and left. After a while, he was back and passed her
the card and said, “Miss, you can get in.”
Jessica sighed in relief and she followed behind him…
The man knocked the door and said in a respectful tone, “Mr. Carter, Miss Wilson is here.”
The room was quiet and he pushed the door open.
When Jessica got inside the fancy VIP ward, she saw something really creepy.
She saw clearly that Louis was in a white patient suit and he was leaning against the bed.
His forehead was bounded by thick gauze but he still looked gorgeous.
His plastered left leg was up in the air.
When Jessica got inside the ward, he was gazing at her with his hollow and dark eyes and he was just
like a wolf in the bush.
His hands were also bounded with gauze.
Though he didn’t look as serious as the rumors said, his legs and hands were all bounded.
But he was still as calm as he used to be.
Louis didn’t say a word.
The creepier was that Harry who was bewitching was sitting next to Louis and he was peeling the
apples for him like a girl.
Harry looked up and she saw Jessica’s bright eyes.
Then he smiled and said, “Hey, Jessica, you are here.”
Harry said in a very sweet voice. Then he stood up to welcome her, and he casually put down the apple
and the knife on the table.
But the knife was thrown to Louis injured leg and Louis’s face sunken…
Seeing that the knife was inserted in the bedside, and it was only one centimeters close to Louis thigh!
“Harry Shaw!” Louis gnashed his teeth and stared at Harry fiercely.
Harry peeked at him but he was feeling that was a pity and he said, “What a pity! The knife didn’t insert
in your thigh. I need to practice my knife work.”
“Seriously? Do you need me to help you?” Louis said in a cold voice.
Harry forced a laugh and he knew that Louis was very good at shooting, whether it was firearms or
swordsmanship or even fly-cutter. He always won the first place in those games. Harry didn’t dare to
argue with him about that, “No, no need. I am not interested in fly-cutter.”
After finished his words, Harry walked over to Jessica and he grabbed her hand and pulled her inside
the room.
“Jessica, I just didn’t see you for a few days but you look more beautiful!” Harry couldn’t help
complimenting. “Especially your eyes, I like your eyes so much!”
Jessica opened her eyes wide and she zoned out for a second. Then she glanced at Louis carefully
and said, “I…”
Harry cut in, “Ha-ha, do you keep imaging that Louis would be put on a respirator and the blood would
be all over his body and he would lie on the bed like a mummy?”
Jessica was blushed with shame and she was pursing her lips in embarrassment.
He was right and she almost cried. And she imagined that if she would fail to control her emotion when
she saw Louis.
Harry kept talking before Jessica replied, “Then as soon as you enter the ward, you will see that Louis
is lying on the bed just like a normal patient who just broke his leg. He only got some scrubs and hurt
his hands. And then you will think in mind that why he doesn’t cry out for pain because of the accident.
Instead, he is so cool and calm not like an ordinary man, and you want to punch him.”
Jessica felt like nodding her heads and she looked at Harry like she totally agreed with what he said
and Harry felt excited about that.
“Wow, Jessica, we connected!”
Harry was holding Jessica’s hands and shaking and shaking and he was so excited that he thought
that he finally found his confidant. He was so moved that he almost gave her a hug.
Louis who was sitting on the bed squatted.
There was a slight twitch in his face and he was gazing at Jessica without saying a word.
Jessica felt that Louis was staring at her fiercely. She smiled at Harry in a perfunctory manner. And
based on professional ethics, she walked over to Louis and picked up the apples that Harry didn’t finish
peeling.
“Mr. Carter, I heard that you had a car accident last night…”
Louis rolled his eyes to her because she was talking rubbish.
“I mean, Mr. Carter you look good today. So, I am so happy that you survive the car accident.”
But what Jessica said to him was like a curse, which made Louis not happy about that.
Louis glanced at her coldly and he could vaguely see that there were five fingerprints on her face and
he asked, “What’s wrong with your face?”
“What?” Jessica froze.
Harry then looked at her face and his eyes were wide open suddenly, “Hey, Jessica! Were you slapped
by someone?”
Jessica peeked at Louis and bit her lips. She didn’t say anything but shook her head.
Harry felt something was wrong with her and said, “Jessica, did someone bully you? Don’t be scared, I
will revenge for you.”
Louis was annoyed and a bit angry when he heard what Harry said.
“Harry, you can go back home now. I don’t need you now.”
