Chapter 70

Zach had received a call from the school and learned that Jadie was at the hospital. Halfway through his meeting, he asked Kevin to take over for him as he rushed to the scene.

Jadie was lying on the bed at SereneCare Hospital with an IV tube in her hand, her face pale. When she saw Zach, she looked like a little girl who had done something wrong, not knowing how to face him. She lowered her head and said, “Z-Zach… I’m sorry for causing you trouble again.”

Zach saw the injury on Jadie’s face, and an unnoticeable hint of coldness flashed across his eyes. “What did the doctors say?” He asked.

“The doctors said I’m fine. It’s just some abrasions. They told me to drink some warm water if I feel any physical discomfort and I’ll be fine.”

At that moment a middle-aged woman, in her thirties, walked in through the doorway. “You must be Jadie’s brother,” she said while holding a medical chart.

Zach recognized the woman. They met during the school registration day. “Yeah, I am,” he replied.
