CHAPTER 522: CHAPTER 247: THE ORPHAN MY DAD ADOPTED FROM THE ORPHANAGE_3

"Just come and keep me company after you get off work tonight."

This was the first time Jane Quinlan called him Forrest.

She used to think the name Forrest was only suitable for women, but now she feels her boyfriend carries it with an air of dominance.

Kay Forrest noticed she mentioned this several times throughout the morning.

He knew what she was thinking, so he didn’t make her choose between him and the old man.

He nodded: "Alright, I’ll leave.

I see I’ve got you so smitten here you can’t even find your bearings.

I won’t stay and use my charm to seduce you anymore.

We’ll talk about everything else when you’re out of the hospital – back home, in bed."

Jane Quinlan was speechless, wishing she could kick him out right then.

The lunch was ordered by Kay Forrest from an upscale restaurant outside.

As he said, it was indeed much better than the hospital meals.

So Jane Quinlan, who was feigning illness, unconsciously ate several more bowls.

After lunch, Jane Quinlan sent Kay Forrest away.

Alone, she lay sprawled across the hospital bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Glad not to be working overtime or facing Nolan Moore and Xavier anymore.

She instantly felt a wave of relief wash over her.

Plus, she didn’t have to share the hospital bed with Kay Forrest anymore.

Lying there sprawled out all by herself was truly comfortable.

Thinking this, she fell into a heavy sleep.

When she woke up, it was already past three in the afternoon.

Jane Quinlan didn’t have a mobile phone, nor could she go online.

The TV in the room didn’t have a remote control either.

Normally, she could have rung for a nurse to bring it to her.

But Jane Quinlan felt it was too wicked to trouble people like this when she wasn’t even sick.

So, she got out of bed in her patient gown and went to the nurse’s station.

Emerging from the room, she happened to encounter a nurse pushing a treatment cart.

She stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, nurse, where can I get the remote control for the TV in the room?"

The nurse looked at her with laughter in her eyes.

This laughter was too obvious, definitely not a usual smile.

"Please go to the nurse’s station to get it."

"Okay, thank you."

Jane Quinlan scratched her forehead, puzzled, what’s going on.

She continued walking and met two more nurses; they all gave her odd looks.

When she reached the nurse’s station, she said, "Hello, I’m the patient in bed 12. May I use the TV remote control, please?"

Once she introduced herself, several nurses couldn’t help but smile.

"Here you go."

A nurse handed her the remote control.

Jane Quinlan pressed the remote, still puzzled as she rounded the corner.

A few steps later, she turned back to ask the girl who’d given her the remote, "Excuse me, I’d like to ask... is there something on my face?"

The nurse couldn’t help but giggle, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry. That’s... there’s nothing on your face."

"Then why do you all laugh when you see me?"

"Because you’re cute."

Jane Quinlan blushed for a moment. Is this a confession?

Or let’s not, okay?

She quickly turned with the remote control and went back to her room.

This hospital isn’t a mental institution, right?

She shook her head; it was clearly People’s Hospital.

Where’s this mental institution coming from?

She must be overthinking it.

She turned on the TV, and not long after, the door opened from the outside.

She turned her head to look and saw a doctor in a white coat walk in.

This doctor was tall and handsome, definitely not the same type as the other doctors she usually saw.

He walked over to the bed and looked at Jane Quinlan.

Jane Quinlan nodded somewhat awkwardly at the doctor, "Hello, doctor. Is there something you need?"

"Jane Quinlan, right? How are you feeling today?"

Jane Quinlan nodded, "I’m feeling pretty good. I just woke up from a nap, and now I feel energized."

The doctor nodded, "Let me introduce myself. I’m Roman Hughes, the head doctor of the Bone Department at this hospital.

Also, I happen to be a friend of your boyfriend."

Jane Quinlan smiled, "You’re friends with Forrest?"

Roman Hughes nodded, "Do you know Faye Townsend?"

Jane Quinlan nodded, "Yes, I’ve met her."

"To be precise, I am the childhood friend, a close buddy of Faye’s husband.

Because of these relationships, I’m also quite friendly with your boyfriend."

Jane Quinlan smiled at him amiably.

"Just now, Kay Forrest called me and asked me to check on how you were doing."

Jane Quinlan shook her head: "I’m fine, feeling good right now.

I lost my phone yesterday, and you even had to make a trip in person, I’m really embarrassed."

"Talking like that is being overly formal."

"Dr. Roman, can I ask you a question?"

Roman Hughes nodded: "Go ahead and ask."

"Why do I feel the nurses in this hospital are kind of weird."

"What happened?"

Jane hesitated for a moment: "I’m not trying to complain to you.

It’s just that I feel... they all seem to be holding back laughter when they see me?"

Roman couldn’t help but purse his lips and chuckle upon hearing her say that.

"It’s because of your ’heroic deeds’ last night.

Didn’t Kay tell you?"

"Last night?" Jane bit her lip: "What did I... do?"

Why did she suddenly have a bad feeling?

Kay clearly said she didn’t do anything.

Oh my God, did she mess up again?

Or... did something embarrassing?

"It looks like Forrest hasn’t told you anything.

Since that’s the case, I better not say too much either."

"Please just tell me, did I do something very inappropriate?"

"Are you... sure you want to know?

Jane nodded vigorously: "I really do, very much."

It felt as if the whole world knew the truth but she was the only one kept in the dark.

Roman chuckled and said: "When you woke up in the hospital, you thought you had died.

You saw the nurse and called her an angel, and you just had to ask her how you had died.

You said you weren’t ready and wanted to go back."

Jane covered her mouth with her hand, oh my...

"And then you sang the national anthem in the hallway, wanting to say farewell to the country and the people."

Jane was about to cover her face.

You’re not a national leader, why say farewell to the country?

"Want to know more?"

"No, I don’t." Jane quickly interrupted Roman.

"Um... Dr. Roman, I’m not usually like this, just... pretend I was crazy yesterday.

Please remember, that wasn’t me yesterday.

It was a wronged spirit possessed by a drunkard."

Roman burst out laughing, "Okay, I’ll remember that.

I’ve got something to take care of on my side, I’ll head over there first."

"Okay, good, Dr. Roman, goodbye."

After Roman left, Jane immediately pulled the blanket over her head.

Jane Quinlan, you even have the nerve to stay in the hospital.

This is so embarrassing.

In the afternoon, after Kay returned to the company, he had an earth-shattering fight with his old man.

It’s said that he also made a name for himself within the company.

The reason was none other than his smashing everything he could in his dad’s office except for his dad himself.

Grayson Forrest was calm, just watching Kay go mad.

Until Kay vented out, Grayson asked indifferently, "Are you done?"

Kay walked to his father’s desk and looked down at him.

"Dad, do you know why I hate you?

What I hate most is you controlling other people’s lives, acting like some high and mighty benefactor.

What is this?

Just for some trivial matters, you call back Nolan Moore, who I hate most?

It’s just two damn companies.

Do you need to be that scared?

So scared that even though you know I care about Jane, you still let Nolan treat her like that.

Now Jane is hospitalized, are you happy?

If I say, there was still someone in this world who could speak for you in front of me.

Then that person would be Jane.

But now, you’ve also hurt Jane.

Dad, I’m telling you, everyone has their limits.

You don’t touch me, and I won’t touch you.

But if you mess with the woman I love.

Then I’m sorry... I won’t just let it go.

I’m dropping the gauntlet here today.

I absolutely won’t let go of those two companies.

And don’t expect me to back down when it comes to Jane.

We shall wait and see.

I want to see, in the end, who will win."
