Chapter 116 Jackson hung up the phone as soon as he had finished his sentence. Master Zack stared at the phone screen silently for a while before giving it back to the nurse beside him. Was there really no need for him to worry? It would be great if that was true, but sometimes, being uncertain was often the scariest thing. He was reminded of how his own son had once assured him by saying “Dad, I’ll never neglect all my duties to the Valor family just for a woman!”. Yet in the end, his son had abandoned the Valor family and even sacrificed his life just for a woman! “Go find out who that woman actually is,” he ordered. “I want to know every little detail about her.” A voice answered, “Yes, sir.”
The voice had come from a comer of the room where a man clad in a black suit and wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses sat with a laptop in front of him, his fingers flying over the keyboard. Serenity lay on the hospital bed, her mind still in a jumbled mess. Too many things had happened since last night, and she still could not quite wrap her head around it all. Just now, some doctors and nurses had come in. They had done some basic checks on her and took some of her blood for testing. The results should come back later in the afternoon, depending on the situation. At that moment, someone coughed lightly at the door before opening it and entering the room. Serenity looked at the mant who had just walked in. He was wearing a business suit with a necktie, and he looked to be a rather neat and refined young man who was probably not more than a few years older than her. The man smiled at her and introduced himself, “Good afternoon, Miss Lewis. My name is Connor Gunn, and I’m… secretary. This is your mobile phone and your handbag. You may check the contents of your handbag and tell me if belongings are missing.” “Jack’s’ From NôvelDrama.Org.
any of your As he spoke, he placed the phone and the bag on the nightstand near Serenity. Just as he was about to leave the room, she stopped him hastily and asked, “Umm… who exactly is Jack? He respectfully replied, “You’ll find out in due time, Miss Lewis. I’m only a secretary, after all.” “Then can you tell me what happened to my relatives?” asked Serenity, changing the subject. Connor had no obligation to hide this matter from her, so he answered, “Your uncles and aunt, along with their spouses and children, are now all detained. At first, the police intended to detain your grandfather as well, but he was too old, and besides, they feared that there would be no one to look after your grandmother if she was left all alone, so he was released on bail,” Serenity was stunned. She had not expected all those people to be detained so quickly. Of all the people in that family… The only one who had ever cared about her was her grandmother. She was awash with piercing pain when she thought of what had happened last night. “Also,” Connor added, “the Foster family are now detained at the police station.” Once Connor had left the room, Serenity started looking around the rather spa cious room. So, Jack could afford what was clearly a VIP private ward. It appeared that he also had a private secretary. Besides, there was not just one doctor who had come in to check on her, but a few of them, and they were all expert physicians at the top of their game. She also noticed the way all the doctors treated her-so full of respect and continusness. She knew, of course, that the respect they showed was not really for herself, but for “Jack”, who had sent her here. So, who exactly was Jack?!. The more she thought about it, the more perplexed she was. She picked up the bag on the nightstand as she recalled having left this bag at her grandmother’s house.
