Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 174

After settling Jenny’s funeral, they went straight to Athana Hospital. Lena was already awake while Ethan White was still in a

coma

As soon as Natalie Foster got out of the car, she saw Sherri Landor standing at the entrance, looking around anxiously. Hackett Blackwell stood beside her with a solemn expression. His face did not show the usual cheeky smile.

Natalie alighted from Trevon Wilson’s Maybach car in a black dress. When she saw this sight, Sherri did not find it strange. Instead, her impression of Trevon changed a lot.

Sherri had already applied for leave yesterday with the intention to keep her best friend company, but that fellow Hackett refused to leave her alone no matter what. He clung to her like a piece of sticky candy. It turned out that he was sacrificing himself for his good friend.

When she saw her best friend alight. Sherri quickly went forward and held her arm. She sized up Natalie’s face and saw that she looked much more haggard. “Why didn’t you tell me when Jenny was going to be buried?”

Natalie honestly hadn’t thought of this. After finding out that her son had met with a mishap, her mind was a mess. Coupled with the images this morning, she was already on the verge of breaking down. “I’m sorry. My mind hasn’t been working well these past few days. I’m already clear-headed now” She knew what to do now.

Sherri knew that her best friend was upset, so she let it go. How could Natalie still take into consideration so many things when she encountered such a major incident? Sherri was already grateful that Natalie did not break down. “It’s fine. I don’t mind. It’s good that you’re fine.”

Sherri decided to pay her respects to Jenny the next day. Back in Sapphire City, Jenny also did her best to help take care of Ruby.

Sherri’s heart was filled with gratitude, and at this moment, she didn’t feel good either. When she heard Hackett tell her the whole story, she still felt a lingering fear. Fortunately, Jasper was safe and sound. Otherwise, her best friend would have gone crazy. However, Jenny’s passing might leave an emotional knot in Natalie’s heart. “Where’s Jasper? Do you want to bring him to my house and let my mother take care of him for a while?”

Natalie didn’t hide anything. “He’s at the Wilson’s residence.”

Sherri thought that was a good arrangement. The Wilson’s residence was more suitable for Jasper. There was no place safer than the Wilson’s residence and there was Grandpa Wilson protecting the little one.

Trevon and Hackett followed closely behind the two women as they walked side by side. The men watched them as they whispered to each other.

Hackett spoke up. “Frank said that he hasn’t found out who was the mastermind. The truck driver was diagnosed with severe depression before the accident

The anger in Trevor’s heart surged. He pressed his tongue against his molars and said icily, “How about that cell phone

number”

“It’s from overseas Hackett wished vehemently that Mia Sullivan was not responsible for this, but the country the phone number had been tracked to was Haililand. This made him very vexed.
