Chapter 605
605:
“Thank you, see you there,” Myla responded, touching Linsey’s hand gratefully before climbing into the car.
As the Lawson family’s car pulled away, one of the bodyguards turned to Linsey. “Considering your relationship with the Lawson siblings, are you sure you want to visit Jeffery in the hospital?”
Linsey gave a slight nod. “It’s fine. I have a good rapport with Myla, and it’s no bother for me to check in.”
“Understood, ma’am,” the bodyguard said.
Linsey reached the hospital not long after the Lawson family’s car. She entered just as Jeffery was being rushed into surgery.
“Myla.” Upon spotting her, Linsey hurried over.
Approaching Myla, Linsey noticed her reddened eyes—a clear sign she had been crying.
A wave of concern washed over Linsey. “Myla, is everything alright?”
Coming back to the moment, Myla looked up at Linsey and managed a weak smile, motioning for her to sit. “Jeffery lost consciousness on the way here. I’m really concerned…”
Tears filled Myla’s eyes again as she continued, “Carol’s been fragile since birth due to her heart condition, but Jeffery has always been the strong one. It baffles me… he just fainted after that fall…”
Linsey offered a comforting pat on Myla’s back. “Don’t worry. Jeffery will pull through.”
She was puzzled by the severity of Jeffery’s condition as well. After all, he had only collided with the rounded corner of a cabinet. Why would such an impact cause bleeding?
Just then, Cruz joined them, sitting beside Myla. “Baby, don’t worry. Jeffery is going to be alright.”

“Has anyone seen Carol?” Myla asked.
Cruz slowly shook his head. “The restaurant staff only saw her dash out. They couldn’t say which way she went. I’ve sent people out to find her, so we should have news soon.”
Myla let out a tired sigh, her nerves completely exhausted.
“What’s happening with Carol?” She massaged her temples as she spoke. “I used to think she was just overly spoiled and stubborn. But now, she’s acting like someone completely different, utterly out of control.”
After a brief pause, Myla turned to Linsey. “I’m really sorry, Linsey. We failed to guide Carol properly, and she even disrespected you earlier… We’ll make sure to address her behavior more strictly from now on.”
