Chapter 843
At the hospital, Eileen’s hand had suffered more severe burns, while Gabriela’s minor burns were expected to heal in less than two days with the proper treatment. Despite her pain, with her hand swathed in gauze, Eileen could not contain her anger. She said to Bryan, “Why did you rush me away? I need to make sure Jessica is permanently removed from VQ Group and kept away from Gabriela!”
“Don’t you realize that the wound on your hand could worsen without treatment?” Bryan said, his voice tinged with both concern and anger.
The doctor informed them that had they arrived at the hospital sooner, Eileen’s recovery could have been quicker—possibly in just a week. Now, however, her recovery would take at least ten days. Additionally, the severity of the wound posed a high risk of infection, potentially leading to a fever.
But Eileen hadn’t focused on her own injury earlier. Back when she had been in the break room, her fury had been so intense that she needed to vent, especially since her daughter had been hurt.
Now, seeing the grave expression on Bryan’s face, Eileen wanted to comfort him and calm him down.
“Eileen, you’ve got to stop this now. I’m running out of patience. If you continue to get involved in this kind of trouble, I’ll have no choice but to confront Conroy directly!” After saying this, Bryan stood up and followed Gabriela, leaving Eileen with a firm ultimatum.
Eileen paused for a moment before saying, “Then I shouldn’t have pushed Jessica out of the VQ Group. Without her around, proving she is Conroy’s daughter will be even harder.”
Bryan didn’t know what to say. He knew it was already too late. After what he had said to Conroy, Conroy would likely use Jessica’s dismissal as a corrective step.

“You’re in the hospital now. We just need to find a way to bring Jessica here,” Bryan said as he picked up Gabriela and glanced at Eileen’s bandage. “I’m getting you admitted to the hospital for observation.”
Eileen panicked. “But the doctor said I could recover at home.”
Bryan cut her off with a firm look, and she quickly stopped talking. Well, she could stay in the hospital. It had been a while since her last hospital stay, after all. Within minutes, Eileen was settled into a VIP ward. Bryan sent Raymond home to fetch Eileen’s and his clothes and toiletries. He also made sure Raymond would order food to be delivered to them regularly.
“Mr. Dawson, how long do you plan to stay here?” Raymond inquired. “Do you need me to bring your laptop?”
“No. Manage the work for me,” Bryan instructed, his tone final. “We’ll stay as long as it takes for Conroy to understand the situation.”
Raymond was rendered speechless. He had forgotten to bring Bryan’s laptop over when he went back to get their belongings. And now, he would have to manage Bryan’s work for him.
Eileen wasn’t sure what Bryan meant by waiting for Conroy to understand the situation. All she knew was that Bryan was furious, and that she needed to be on her best behavior. Otherwise, Bryan would confront Conroy directly.
Eileen stayed in the hospital for three days, and news of this spread. Both Julia and Dalores had heard about it. Coincidentally, they had decided to visit Eileen on the same day.
Dalores was the first to appear, with Julio entering the ward five minutes later. Upon seeing Dalores, Julio casually placed a fruit basket down and asked Eileen, “Did you break your…?”
