Chapter 1567

Jamie stared at the pills in her hand, her emotions swirling. After a long pause, she quietly put them away, pretending she had never taken them out.

Ben had gone to great lengths, all for her benefit. She decided not to confront him about it.

The nurse Ben hired to look after Charlie was incredibly attentive, significantly easing Jamie's stress. After a few visits to the hospital, Jamie felt reassured enough to focus more on her own recovery.

Ben arranged for Caleb to follow up on her condition. "Caleb isn't busy these days. I asked him to check in on you," Ben said casually.

Jamie didn't comment, but Caleb had plenty to say.

"Not busy?" Caleb grumbled as he arrived. "Your dear Mr. Lucas dragged me out of the hospital to do this. I'm swamped, you know!"

After examining her, he made a few observations. "Your stomach's a bit off. Have you been eating properly? Looks like you haven't had much lately. You need to eat more."

Jamie avoided his gaze, and for the first time in front of Ben, she looked visibly guilty.

Ben stared at her for a long moment before responding with a curt, "Anything else?"

"Nothing major. Just make sure she gets plenty of rest." Caleb checked his watch, already eager to leave. "I've got surgeries lined up. Next time, don't call me unless it's an emergency."
