Chapter 578: Something Happened to Richard

Jasmine's phone buzzed; it was Richard.

"Hold up, it's Richard," Jasmine said, eager to pick up, totally missing what Ethan just said.

Ethan started to speak, then just facepalmed.

Would Jasmine flip out if he told her?

He'd promised her no more lies. Did this count as a little white lie?

"Jasmine, Betty got hit and she's in the hospital. I'm outta town, and it'll take me three hours to get back. Can you go check on her?" Richard's voice was all panicky.

Jasmine was all over the place. "I'm heading over right now! Is Betty okay?"

"They said she's fine, but I'm still freaking out." Richard was losing it.

"Richard, chill, I'm on my way," Jasmine said, slipping on her shoes. "Where are you anyway?"

"Arnold sent me to Boston for a meeting," Richard said, sounding like he was driving. "Alright, Richard, drive safe. I'll get to the hospital."

Jasmine hung up and looked at Ethan. "Betty got hit and she's in the hospital. I'm going to check on her. You take Justin and Joe to the meeting with Brandon. We can't miss it, or he might team up with Claire, and that'd suck."

Jasmine wanted Ethan to take the kids to show Brandon they were serious, to keep him from working with Claire.

Ethan wanted to say something, but Jasmine was already out the door.

Jasmine thought, 'Betty better be okay.'

At Capital Hospital, Betty was on the bed asking the doc, "Am I okay?"

"Everything looks normal, but you've got some old injuries and issues. You used to have bad menstrual pain, so you need to be extra careful," the doc said, hooking her up to an IV.

Betty sighed and leaned back, talking to Richard, who was speeding back. "You heard the doc, I'm fine. Why are you rushing back? Drive safe."
