Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison

Chapter 639 Can't Let the Plot Succeed

Meryl furrowed her brows, deciding to head to the hospital.

She wanted to see for herself what game Rachel was playing whether she was genuinely blind or just putting on an act.

At the hospital, she crept to the outside of the ward.

Through the glass panel in the door, she spotted Chandler sitting on the couch beside the hospital bed, working on his laptop.

Rachel lay motionless on the bed, appearing to be asleep.

Meryl stood watching quietly from outside for a while, relieved to see Chandler maintaining his distance from Rachel.

"Mrs. Aniston..." Walter's voice suddenly rang out.

The sound must have alerted those people inside as Chandler turned his head.

The moment he saw Meryl, he immediately set down his laptop and stood up, walking toward her. "Why are you just standing there like that without letting me know you're here?" Chandler frowned, grabbing Meryl's hand. "How long have you

Meryl glanced sideways at the hospital room and asked softly, "I just got here. How is she doing?"

They think she might have damaged her optic nerves when she fell down the stairs." It would have been easier to treat if they knew the cause, the uncertainty only complicated things.

Meryl noticed Chandler's bloodshot eyes, clearly showing his lack of rest.

She asked, "How much sleep did you get last night?"

Before Chandler could answer, Walter chimed in, "Mr. Aniston is being proper! He didn't want to sleep in the same room as Ms. Morgan. He spent all night on the couch doing paperwork and hasn't stopped since." Though there was a couch in the hospital room where he could have caught some sleep, Chandler had his principles.

Walter muttered under his breath, "Ms. Morgan's being difficult. She checks for Mr. Aniston every half hour, and if he's not there, she starts throwing things around the room."
