Chapter 201:

Kallie barely caught the name Jake was whispering when the door swung open.

Edgar burst in, breathing heavily. His eyes landed on Jake, unconscious on the bed, and a sharp headache threatened to overwhelm him.

Relief washed over Kallie as she saw Edgar.

Kallie quickly moved aside, pulling out her phone to type a message. “I noticed something off about him. I can’t pinpoint what it is. I knew Jake’s condition had to remain confidential, so I refrained from calling an ambulance.”

Edgar nodded appreciatively at Kallie. “Madam, your assistance today has been invaluable. Thank you. I’ll handle everything from here.”

As Edgar began to take charge of the situation, Kallie couldn’t contain her curiosity any longer and hastily typed her questions on her phone. “Could you possibly share what’s going on with Jake? You don’t need to disclose every detail. I just need to know if it’s serious.”

After a brief pause, Kallie typed again. “I don’t mean to pry. We aren’t divorced yet, and he was part of my family. It’s only right that I show some concern for his well-being.”

Edgar appeared slightly embarrassed as he addressed Kallie, “I’d like to tell you, but sharing this information might bring you problems.”

Kallie offered him a smile, understandingly. “It’s okay. If it’s inconvenient to tell me, then you don’t have to.”

With a heavy sigh, Edgar signaled to the bodyguards to escort Jake away swiftly.

Just then, Jake’s eyes fluttered open.

The bodyguards rushed to inform Edgar, who hurried over, visibly thrilled to see Jake conscious.

“Mr. Reeves, you’re awake. How are you feeling? Any pain or headache?” Edgar asked eagerly.

Jake’s frown deepened as he surveyed the room, his dark eyes clouded with confusion. “What’s going on? Why am I here? Why am I in a hospital gown? Did you bring me here?”
