With a half-smile, the nurse replied, “He insisted on donating the money anonymously. So, we can't disclose his name. He told us that he knows you. As for other information, please forgive us for not being able to further disclose them to you.”
A deep frown formed on Jodie’s forehead. “He knows me? I know a lot of people. I can’t determine his identity with that one fact. I have an idea, why dont you tell me what he looks like and his height? I might be able to make a guess then.”
As a result of Jodie's persuasive skills, the nurse felt compelled to spill everything she knew. “He's quite young and handsome. He's tall and rich too. That's all I can tell you. Please stop asking me about him. I might spill everything out if you press for more, and it's against the rules to give information about an anonymous donor.”
Jodie stopped bothering the nurse, but she did not stop thinking about the identity of the donor. Young, handsome, tall, and rich. Most people I know fit the descriptions, but right now, almost none of them would be willing to help. If it's Jenson, there's no need for him to donate it anonymously.
She immediately thought of Jack when pondering the donor's identity. Though Jack would not have such a big sum of money, there was a possibility of him gathering it somewhere else. The nurse would, of course, label him as rich with that amount of money.
With that thought in mind, she walked toward the end of the corridor and dialed Jack's number. The phone was left ringing for quite some time when Jack finally answered it. “Yes?” His voice was flat. Jodie, however, did not mind that. She was still grateful for Jack's kind actions despite the latter's indifferent attitude. “Thank you.”
Jack was staring at his computer screen when he answered the phone. Upon hearing her, he replied nonchalantly, “What are you thanking me for?”
A smile then formed on Jodie's face. “Oh, stop it, Jack. You paid for my dad's hospital fees anonymously, didn't you? Why didn’t you tell me about it? I'm sorry for neglecting you lately. I've been busy with my family’s issues. But I promise that I'll go look for you once I have time.”
Jack frowned upon hearing her words and instinctively wanted to deny her statement. However, on second thought, he changed his mind. He shifted his
attention back to the computer and simply said, “I'm a little busy now. Goodbye.”
Christopher returned to the Lewis residence around midnight. Margaret was already asleep, but the sound of the car engine woke her up.
Recently, she was unable to sleep well, and any slight movement would wake her up:
Soon, the bedroom door was opened.
Margaret remained silent as the sound she heard in Jadeborough’s hotel room kept ringing in her ears. She did not know why she would be bothered by it.
Christopher headed straight to the bathroom after entering the bedroom and immediately left the bedroom after a shower.
Margaret remained wide awake after that. When she headed downstairs for breakfast in the morning, Christopher exited the study at the same time. Though the two saw each other, they did not exchange any conversation.
Margaret then texted him: /'m going to the hospital to visit Jo's dad later.
Christopher saw the text but did not reply, his deep eyes void of emotion.
Margaret decided to deem his silence as consent. She left for the hospital after breakfast. Unlike those spoiled and pampered princesses that could not stand an uncomfortable environment, Jodie did not mind hanging out at the ward to accompany her dad. She even slept on the chair for the night.
When Margaret arrived, she was feeding her dad medicine.
After seeing the ward's environment, Margaret felt sorry for her. “Jo, how's your dad?"
Jodie, with her usual carefree personality, replied, “He's fine. He'll undergo surgery the day after tomorrow. The surgery fee was already paid for too. Thank you, Meg, for being such a good friend.” The more Jodie acted like that, the sorrier Margaret felt for her. “Jo, where did you get the money? You're not lying, aren’t you?”
Jodie, with a sweet smile, answered, “Jack paid for it. I sincerely thought that he doesn't care about me at all. I didn't go looking for him when the incident occurred, and he didn’t come looking for me either. To be honest, I thought we were no longer together. It never occurred to me that he would help me. It seems that he’s only cold
on the outside.”
