Chapter 881
When Jonah woke up, he was already lying in a hospital bed. The room was filled with the sharp scent of disinfectant, and there was an IV needle in his hand.
He moved slightly and called out in a hoarse voice, “Hailey…”
Jeremy rushed over, his face lighting up with joy. “Mr. Pilsner, you’re awake! Mr. Pilsner, you scared the hell out of me. Did you know you passed out in the pouring rain for a whole day?
“The doctor said you collapsed because you were too worked up. You anger for the better of you, and you caught a cold.”
Jonah tried to sit up, but he realized he had no strength at all. His head was still spinning.
Jeremy quickly stopped him. “Mr. Pilsner, are you trying to get up? The doctor said you need to rest. You can’t move.”
Jonah stared at the ceiling. The moment he and Hailey parted in the rain replayed in his mind over and over. His chest hurt so much he could barely breathe.
“I have to find Hailey… I have to find Hailey…” Jonah reached out to pull out the IV.
Jeremy jumped, panicking. “Mr. Pilsner, you can’t do that! You need to rest. You really can’t leave the bed right now!”
“Get out of my way! I have to find Hailey!”
Jonah was too worked up, and soon everything went black-he passed out again. “Mr. Pilsner!” Jeremy immediately called for help. “Doctor! Doctor, hurry!”
The doctor came in and examined Jonah, then turned to Jeremy and said, “Mr. Pilsner is very weak right now. He must avoid any emotional stress. He needs complete rest.”
“I understand, doctor.”
Once the doctor left, Jeremy looked at the unconscious Jonah. “Mr. Pilsner, your health comes first. Please stop pushing yourself so hard.”
Just then, Jonah began muttering in his sleep. “Hailey… we’re not breaking up….. Hailey… Hailey…”
He kept calling Hailey’s name.
Jeremy said, “Mr. Pilsner, I’m calling Hailey right now!”
He took out his phone and dialed Hailey’s number.
Hailey hadn’t slept all night. She had been tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep. She walked to the window and saw Jonah’s luxury car was no longer there. He was gone.
She had said so many cruel, heartless things. He must have been completely devastated and left. He probably wouldn’t come looking for her again.
Hailey felt empty inside. She curled up under the blanket and cried herself through the night until morning.
There was a knock on the door. Miranda’s voice came from outside. “Hailey, are you still not up?”
Hailey quickly replied, “Mom, I’m still in bed. I want to sleep a little longer.”
“At least have breakfast before going back to sleep.”
“I don’t have an appetite, Mom. I don’t want to eat.
“Alright then. I’ll leave your breakfast here. Eat it when you’re up.”
“Okay.”
Hailey stayed under the covers, her eyes swollen from crying. Her mind thoughts of Jonah. What was he doing right now s

She picked up her phone and made a call to Celine.
The soft ring lasted only a moment before the call connected.
“Hello, Hailey,” Celine said.

Hailey wasn’t at ease until she made the call herself.
Celine smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Hailey. I’ll do my best. The next time you see Mr. Pilsner, he’ll be back to

Hailey laughed, but the insides of her mouth tasted bitter-because by then,
Jonah wouldn’t be hers anymore.
He probably didn’t even want to see her again.
“Celine, I know you’ve been busy lately. I’ll let you go now.”
“Okay.”
They ended the call after that.
Hailey felt a little more at ease. Currently, her greatest wish was for Jonah to
recover as soon as possible.
