Chapter 28
Inside the ward, Calista put down her phone smugly.
So? What did James say?” Gwenyth looked at her excitedly.
Calista smiled shyly and said, “James said he’s coming to see me.
“I told you my brother treats you differently. Even if I, his biological sister, were to get injured, he might not agree so quickly. Gwenyth said sourly.
Calista’s heart melted sweetly, but she remained modest on the surface.
“That’s not it. James is only taking care of me because of Jay.”
‘Stop being modest Jay has been dead for many years. James has repaid enough for the past few years. He must have done this because he likes you, too.” RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Calista knew things were not as Gwenyth made them out to be, but the former was still willing to lie to herself that her eyes were full of shyness.
She looked like she wanted to admit it but was too embarrassed to do so.
It would take at least half an hour to get from Leigh Group to the hospital. Gwenyth wanted to chat more to please Calista before James arrived. Knowing what Calista liked to hear, Gwenyth immediately started badmouthing Sasha.
“Actually, I already know James will divorce Sasha. He doesn’t even like that country bumpkin.”
Calista was indeed thrilled, but she was smart, especially after being lectured by Jameson. She was more cautious in her words and actions and easily avoided speaking ill of Sasha.
Even if she did not speak up, many people around her would say it for her.
“Don’t say that about Sash. After all, she used to be your sister-in-law.”
“Sister-in-law? I have never acknowledged her, even my parents look down on her. She works like a servant in my house every day, doing the cleaning and laundry. Except for the Mrs. Leigh title, she’s no different from a maid”
“Regardless, you shouldn’t say that about her. She was James’ first wife.”
“Oh, my silly Calista. That lunatic has treated you like this, and you’re still on her side. Have you ever seen anyone marry a wife and leave her alone for three years? James has no interest in her at all. He probably wants to throw up after smelling her grungy odor, which is why he isolated her for many years.”
Gwenyth’s words were extremely mean, and her expression was highly contemptuous.
On the surface, Calista disagreed with this, but her eyes were filled with joy.
However, before Gwenyth could say more, the ward door was violently pushed open.
Jameson stood at the door with a dark expression and glared at Gwenyth unkindly.
The moment they saw Jameson, the two women in the ward changed their expressions.
“Y-You came so quickly, James”
Gwenyth stood up with a pale face and lowered her head guiltily, not daring to look at Jameson.
Jameson ignored her and approached the bed slowly.

Calista hurriedly propped herself up upon seeing that and asked tentatively. “W-When did you arrive, James?”
Jameson glanced coldly at Gwenyth before turning to Calista.
“Where does your foot hurt?”
“Oh, it hurts here”
She lifted the quilt and pointed to the place wrapped in plaster.
“It often throbs painfully and feels numb. It’s very uncomfortable”
James quietly nodded, got up, and headed out.
Til call the doctor
“You don’t have to-”
Jameson went straight to the nurse’s station outside, ignoring them.
Gwenyth and Calista exchanged glances and breathed a sigh of relief.
