Love from My Dominant Boss

Chapter 524 Suicide Attempt

My mother’s silence had me even more worried. While nervously asking if she was still on the line, I was genuinely concerned about her health becoming compromised as a result of her inability to handle this news.

“I’m still here. Oh, Janette… my poor child. How could such a thing have happened to her?”

She started to choke up as she spoke. It was understandably upsetting for her as a mother to learn of the tragic fate that befell her own daughter.

“What’s happened has happened, so you should restrain your grief. Having just been discharged and have yet to fully recover, you need to be more mindful of your own health.

Feeling no less disturbed by it as well, I was able to empathize with what she was going through. However, my concerns, at present, rested more on her physical well-being.

“Where is Janette? How is she now? With everything that has transpired, why is it that she had told me nothing about it? This girl is really getting me worried sick.”

Her voice quivered while she rattled off a string of questions pertaining to her daughter.

“Emotionally, Janette isn’t very stable right now. I was the one who decided to withhold it from you as you were still in the hospital when this all went down. I chose not to tell you as I was worried that you might not be able to cope.”

That was all that I could have said about Janette’s situation.

“Where is she now? I want to see her. She needs someone to keep her company.”

“Okay. I’ll drive you over to see her in a bit.”
