Tommy agreed without hesitation.

Barry asked. “Mr. Hanson, are we heading to the Hanson residence or the hospital?”

“The hospital,” Jeffrey replied.

DE SE Vouchers.

If Amelia woke up, even with Jeffrey’s threats, Rebecca would probably figure out a way to leave. Rebecca wasn’t the type to stay meek for long.

Rebecca and Samuel had already arrived at the hospital. When they got there, they saw Jessica was there, too,

Jessica looked a bit surprised to see Rebecca walk in. “You’re back already? Didn’t you say you’d be away couple more days?”

“Things wrapped up early, so I came back,” Rebecca said, leading Samuel inside. She glanced at the hospital bed, paused, and whispered. “My mom… she actually woke up?”

Jessica nodded. “Yeah.”

Rebecca walked up to the bedside, noticing her mom was still out cold. “Did she say anything?” she asked.

“Not much. She just glanced around, Jessica explained, “I asked Dr. Johnson, and he said that’s totally normal. You really don’t need to worry.”

Rebecca felt her chest tighten with nerves. She never thought her mom would wake up at a time like this- just when she was about to lose hope. This gave her a tiny bit of comfort.

*Rebecca,” Jessica said, noticing how withdrawn Rebecca had seemed since stepping in. Her instincts told her something was going on that she didn’t know about.

Rebecca glanced up, her answer flat. “Mm.”

Jessica pressed, “Are you okay?”

Rebecca stonewalled her. “Just wondering when Mom will finally wake up.”

“Nope, I don’t buy that.” Jessica walked right up to Rebecca, glanced at Samuel, and lowered her voice. “That face of yours is screaming trouble. Spill it. What happened?”

Rebecca stared at Jessica, playing dumb.

Jessica jabbed her in the side. “Don’t you play innocent with me. I can read you like a book. If you ain’t got nothing to hide, I’ll eat shit.”

Rebecca suddenly couldn’t help laughing. Please don’t go that far.”

Chapter 162

“Did that bastard Jeffrey mess things up again Jessica blurted out. In her mind, he was the only one who could get Rebecca into such a fork.

Rebecca could handle work and life problems easily. Bar Jeffrey–unpredictable as he was–was the one who truly drove her crazy, constantly stirring up drama and trouble.

“I’ll fill you in tonight.” Rebecca whispered back. “Once you’re done, just let me know, and fill come food you!

Jessica replied, “Tm free today, so I’ll head back home with you later?

Before Rebecca could answer. Samuel beat her to it. “Jessica, are you coming back to Rebecca’s Manora

Jessica blinked in surprise. Rebecca’s Manor? I thought she lived in Maple Garden: She stayed quiet, thinking I figure it out tonight.

Half an hour later, seeing her mom still hadn’t woken, Rebecca stood and said to Jessica, “Can you watch Samuel! I’m going to check with Dr. Johnson about her condition.”

“Sure,” Jessica said. She didn’t offer to go with Rebecca, figuring whatever Rebecca needed to ask probably wasn’t something Samuel should hear about

anyway.

When Rebecca caught up with Timothy, he’d just finished up some work. She went straight to asking about her mom, and his reply matched exactly what Jessica had said earlier.

“No need to worry. Your mom should be fully awake within a week, tops, Timothy reassured Rebecca. noticing the stress in her eyes. “Seriously, don’t lose sleep over it.

Rebecca nodded. “Alright.”

Timothy tilted his head. “Anything else you want to talk about?”

Rebecca looked him in the eye and said seriously, I need to know what happened last night. When Samuel came in, it was urgent. Did you really just follow Jeffrey’s orders and do nothing?

Timothy paused and then quickly replied, “Yes.”

Rebecca said sincerely. “That’s not how you doctors operate. When a patient needs help, you always contact their family. So why didn’t anyone call me last night?”

The hospital had Rebecca’s number and knew she was Samuel’s mother. Normally, even if Jeffrey forbade a rescue, someone should’ve reached out. But no one did, and that didn’t add up.

“Nobody dares to defy Mr. Hanson, Timothy said, his tone shifting. “He owns this hospital, and every single one of us is basically on his payroll”

“Got it,” Rebecca replied, not pressing any further. She knew digging deeper wouldn’t change anything. As she turned to leave, an indescribable heaviness weighed down on her.

Just as she reached the door, Timothy called out, “Ms. Jensen.”

Chapter 162

Rebecca turned bark

Timothy went on. “Mr. Hanson really is a good person. Maybe some things he does seem confusing or frustrating at first, but his intentions are genuine.

“Letting a kid be in danger and refusing to help? I don’t see what’s so good about that,” Rebecca replied collly, and then walked out without another word.

Back in the ward, Rebecca let Jessica and Samuel know they were leaving. The three of them headed out of the hospital together.

Rebecca was just about to ask Jessica where they’d meet up tonight when Jeffrey’s car suddenly pulled up right

in front of them

Jeffrey hopped out of the car and came over. He asked, “You done visiting your mom?”

Rebecca gave a short, cold reply, “Yeah

Jeffrey reached out and took her hand. “Let’s head home.”

Rebecca didn’t move

Jeffrey asked patiently, his tone gentle and refined, “What’s wrong?”

“I need to talk to Jessica about something. I’ll head back later,” Rebecca said, wanting to clear her head. She knew being so tense around Samuel wasn’t good for him. “You should take Samuel home first.”

Jeffrey glanced at Jessica, who looked like she saw a ghost, and then agreed without a moment’s hesitation. “Alright. Just text me when you’re coming back, and I’ll have someone pick you up.”

He didn’t care that Rebecca vented to Jessica about last night. Even if it was just an act, what was done was done. If she needed someone to talk to, he could handle that. Besides, no matter what she said, he knew she wasn’t leaving anytime soon.

“Let’s talk later, Rebecca said, pulling her hand away from his. She gave Samuel a quick word before getting into Jessica’s car. “Let’s go.”
