Veild Bride : Love From An Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 7

Chapter 7
Violet reached out to take it. “Hello?” She spoke in a composed voice, not wishing to alarm her mother.
“Vi” Her mother’s familiar voice sounded through the phone.
“Mum, are you okay? Did they hurt you?” Violet was worried. She gave the man standing before her a look. Jack maintained his calm demeanor.
“They serve me very well here. The courtyard is big. I can do whatever I want in the entire villa, including the courtyard.”
Violet let out a sigh of relief after hearing what her mother had said.
Her mother continued, “I’m sunbathing. What about you? How are you?”
Violet smiled gently. “I’m quite okay, don’t worry. Remember to eat your medicine on time. See you soon.”
“This president, Mr. Yancey, he’s not that bad. He’s still nice to me even though you embarrassed him during a wedding which was live-streamed to the entire city,” Xayah said. “It shows that he’s a good person.”
Violet frowned. “Stop praising him. I have to go now. I still have stuff to do here.” After saying that, she hung up and passed the phone back to him.
This kid was unusual. Was that all she had to say? Jack thought.
He took the phone and continued walking, pulling her along with him.
After another turn, he stopped in front of a patient’s room.
Two men stood on either side of the tightly-shut doors. They greeted him with a bow. “Good day, Mr. Yancey.”
Jack turned to remind the woman next to him. “Don’t anger my grandfather.”
“Don’t you…” She pouted.
“I’ll only let you see your mum after my grandfather has fully recovered.” He interrupted her.

Violet had already guessed as much.
He continued. “My grandfather had asked for you by name. He wants to see you. He probably… likes you more.”
Violet’s eyebrows shot up. What? Liked her?
Jack knew his grandfather best. He could tell what he was thinking just with one look. “So you know what you have to do when you go in there,” he instructed.
Violet looked at him in disbelief. “Likes me?”
She could not understand this! She was the reason why he got so angry that he resulted in his current condition, she had humiliated the Yanceys’. How could he like her?
It was already a good thing that he was not going to skin her alive!
Jack gave her a long look; disdain flashed across his eyes. “Don’t think too much, this doesn’t mean anything.”
“I didn’t think of anything! Don’t get me wrong,” she hurriedly explained.
“Whatever it is, your job is to cheer my grandfather up so he’ll cooperate, eat his medicine and get well as soon as possible.” There was no warmth in his voice.
“…” Violet was still shaken. How did this become her job?
Theo Yancey had used her mother to threaten her. Now Jack was doing the same.
What kind of bad luck was this?
A security guard helped them open the tightly shut doors to the patient room.
•
An ambiance of luxury hit her. This was a suite that had everything!
However, it also made her feel like the air pressure had dropped; it seemed like another world in there.
Violet was not afraid. She turned to throw him a look. Did Senior Yancey really like her? She still could not believe it.
If his grandfather forgave her for what she had done today then would it render Jack powerless against her?
“Go in quickly,” Jack said in a low and cold voice. “Don’t make my grandfather wait.”
Violet looked away and sighed inwardly. She took a step in.

She had just gone into the room when she heard the doors close behind her.
Her chest tightened slightly. She stopped in her tracks and looked behind her. Was it locked?
Did this mean she could not leave?
There were two men standing guard at the door.
