Chapter 882

Just then, a soft ringtone rang out-it was from Jonah.

Hailey answered, and Jeremy’s voice came through. “Hello, Ms. Hailey. This is Mr. Pilsner’s secretary, Jeremy.”

“Jeremy? Why are you calling me?”

“Ms. Hailey, please come to the hospital. Mr Pilsner has been admitted.”

Hailey shot upright in bed, clutching the phone tightly as she anxiously asked, “Why is he in the hospital? What happened to him?”

“Ms. Hailey, last night Mr. Pilsner was out in the rain all night, and he passed out from the cold and stress. He collapsed and was taken to the hospital!”

So, he didn’t leave last night-he collapsed.

And now he was in the hospital.

Hailey felt her heart clench up.

“Ms. Hailey, please come see Mr. Pilsner,” Jeremy pleaded.

Should she go? They had already broken up last night. Pushing him away firmly was truly what was best for him now. Dragging things out would only hold him back.

“No, I’m not going. He’s in the hospital right now, and I’m sure the doctors are taking care of him,” Hailey said.

“Ms. Hailey, are you really not coming? Mr. Pilsner was calling your name while he was unconscious. He misses you terribly.”

Tears welled up in Hailey’s eyes instantly. This fool… What was she supposed to do with him?

Jeremy urged anxiously, “Ms. Hailey, please come, quickly.”

Tears fell from Hailey’s eyes. “I’m sorry. I’m not going.”

“Ms. Hailey, you—”

“A clean break is better than dragging it out. He’ll get better.”

Just like that, the call disconnected.

In the hospital room, Jeremy stared at the busy signal, confused. Why wouldn’t Hailey come?

He remembered how Jonah and Hailey had been during their trip to Barombya- so affectionate and in love. And now, just like that, everything had fallen apart.

“She won’t come?” A hoarse voice broke the silence.

Jeremy turned around and saw that Jonah was awake.

“Mr. Pilsner, you’re awake?” Jeremy asked, relieved.

Jonah’s face was pale as paper, completely drained of color. He looked at Jeremy and asked, “She’s not coming to see me, is she?”

Jeremy hesitated. “Mr. Pilsner, Ms. Hailey said… she has something urgent to take care of right now.. Shell come by once she finishes. She also told me to remind you to rest well.” s

Jonah stared at the ceiling as he lay in bed. He knew Jeremy was lying to make him feel better—Hailey wasn’t coming. She wouldn’t even come to see him for a second.

Jonah had refused to accept it when Hailey said she wanted to break up. He even thought she was just upset and didn’t mean it. But now, he had to face the truth. Hailey no longer wanted him. s

She didn’t want him anymore.

Jonah’s lips curled faintly, and scalding tears slid from the corner of his eyes.

Soon after, he lost consciousness again.

Jonah had developed a high fever. It kept spiking and just wouldn’t break.

Most of the time, Jonah was unconscious, completely out of it.

Jeremy stayed by his side without leaving once. He had no idea why Jonah’s condition had suddenly taken such a sharp turn for the worse. One moment everything was fine, and the next, he was dangerously ill.
