After Being Cheating novel Chapter 269

But if they had observed her face more carefully, they would have seen that Shirley was heavily gritting her teeth, and that her fingers had been tucked deep into her coat's pockets.

On the fourth day of Caspar's coma, there was finally a sign indicating that he would soon wake up. All the while, Janet had kept looking after him by his side.

Janet noticed when he slowly started to open his eyes.

She was so thrilled that she stood up from her chair, and cried, "Caspar! Caspar! Are you awake now?"

Caspar grinned, and slowly nodded to her; he was happy that the first person that he saw was Janet.

"Are you thirsty? Let me help you with some water, " said Janet.

Caspar nodded his head again.

Before she gave him water, Janet pressed the calling button for the nurse. While she was tapping his lips with a wet cotton bud, the doctors and nurses came in.

She put down the glass of water and stepped back, afraid that she might interfere with the doctors' check on Caspar.

But her hand was then gripped by a big palm.

In a hoarse voice, Caspar said to her, "Please, don't go away!"

Janet's heart trembled, and she nodded to him.

After a couple of minutes, the doctors finished their checks, and said, "The patient is out of danger now, and just needs to recover from his wounds. Just take good care of him, and he'll be alright."

Janet nodded to the doctors.

Then she carefully listened to their instructions on what they should be cautious about.

There were a lot of matters that needed attending to, and some of them were even more tormenting than those of her confinement during her childbirth.

After the doctors and nurses left, Janet said in a tender voice, "Please let go of my hand first, I have to call grandpa Dillon and the others. They're all worried sick about you."

Caspar nodded and loosened his grip on her.

Janet then made a call to Dillon and Croft, and when dusk came, the patient's room was again crowded with people.

When they saw that Caspar had really waken up from his coma, all of them finally felt more relaxed, Dillon especially, instantly returning to his crazy and wild character from before.

Everybody felt speechless, and they doubted that Dillon had done it on purpose.

The night grew darker, and soon all became quiet. Caspar was still weak, and he fell asleep early.

Janet had laid down on the bed beside him, and when she was also about to fall asleep, her phone suddenly rang; it was a video call on her WeChat.

Because she had stayed in the patient's room for the last couple of days, she had turned down the volume on her phone.

But the video call ringer still pierced her ears in the quiet of the night, and she hastily clicked on her phone screen to switch it to silent mode.

The video call was coming from Daniel's WeChat account...

Janet looked at the time, and it was already ten o'clock in the evening. 'Is it my daughter calling?'

She took a look at the sleeping man on the bed, and while holding her phone, she went into the small kitchen and locked the door behind her.

After Janet went into the kitchen, the man sleeping on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.

Except for the days when he had been in a coma, Caspar had never let his guard down when he was sleeping or working.

When Janet's phone rang, he knew quite well who was calling her.

It must've been that man!

Inside the small kitchen, Janet answered the video call on WeChat. Soon enough, she saw that the bedroom inside mansion No. 9, and Melissa's face.

When she saw her daughter's face, all of her build-up tension was eased. She also felt more relaxed that it wasn't Daniel.

She called her in a tender voice, "My dear baby..."

"Mommy, why haven't you come back yet? It's been long, and I've missed you so much!" Melissa lay on the wide bed, turning her body to and fro.

When she saw her daughter's lovely look in her eyes, Janet burst into laughter, and said, "I'll be back in a couple of days. Remember to behave well, and not be naughty!"

"Mommy, have you gone to see uncle Caspar?" asked Melissa. She had remembered her father's questions, and had asked at once.

Janet was silent for a short moment and then nodded, and said, "Yes, uncle Caspar has been wounded."

"Oh! What's the matter with uncle Caspar? Is he doing well now?" she asked. Melissa had instantly become nervous, and had sat up on the bed. She was anxiously staring at the phone.

Caspar had always treated her and her younger sister very well, and when she heard that he had been wounded, Melissa began feeling very distressed.

Janet asked her in a low voice, "Dear baby, uncle Caspar is safe now, don't worry about him. Are you happy staying with your father these days?"

Melissa then took a glance at her father, who was drinking his red wine at the bedside; she nodded, and said, "Yes, but mommy, I miss you a lot. When will you be coming back?"

She curled her lips, and while looking at her cute look, Janet tittered, and said, "When your uncle Caspar recovers his health, I will come back and see you. Okay?"

Melissa rolled her eyeballs and thought for a moment. She then said, "Mommy, daddy is going to Z Country tomorrow. How about asking him to take me there as well?"

'What? Daniel is coming to Z Country?' wondered Janet.

"Why is your father coming here?" Janet was perplexed, 'The SL Group has no branch here in Z Country!'

"Daddy is going there for business, but he won't take me with him! He said he'll have no time to take care of me!" Melissa answered with displeasure, and also curled her lips when she looked at her father.

Janet didn't know that Daniel was sitting beside Melissa, looking at their video call. So after some thoughts, Janet asked, "Do you know which place in Z Country is your daddy going to?"

'Z Country is not that small, and maybe he's not coming to Y City, ' thought Janet.

"Mommy, I've asked him about it, and daddy is going to Y City! But he won't promise to take me with him! But he will take with him that so-called stepmother!" yelled Melissa. She angrily stared at her father, who was calmly sipping on his glass of red wine. She didn't understand what her father was thinking, because usually, he had always given her anything that she had ever wanted.

And he had also taken her anywhere that she had wanted to go.

But this time, he didn't listen to her wish.

'The so called stepmother? Shirley?' thought Janet. She closed her eyes, and while bearing the growing pain in her heart, she said, "Baby, go to bed earlier tonight. I promise that I'll try to come back as soon as possible."

She had initially wanted to take her revenge on Shirley, but each time she had met with her, her heart had softened up.

She could only hold Daniel in front of her to show off their true love to her...

"Okay, mommy, goodnight!"

"Okay, dear baby, goodnight too!"

Ending the video call, Janet looked at her phone with a blank stare for a while. She then went back to the patient's room.

Caspar was sound sleep, and Janet felt relieved, and lay down on the bed beside him.

Inside Mansion No. 9, Daniel had now finally found out why Janet had suddenly hurried back to Z Country!

It was because that man named Caspar had been wounded! She had flown a long way to take care of him!

This made Daniel very furious...

The following afternoon, all the other people came back to the hospital again. Janet heard that Hobson was still in coma, and that his grandfather, Alex, was very angry and had declared a war against the Tianye Men.

Janet had initially wanted to take this opportunity to give the leadership of the Tianye Men to Caspar, but then she thought that the Black Moon gang might do something bad to the Tianye Men in the following days.

Janet had to put off the idea of returning the leadership for a while.

At dusk, Susy came to look after Caspar instead of Janet. Actually, Caspar had wanted Janet to keep him company.

But Janet had been looking after him ever since she had come to Z Country. He couldn't be so selfish, and it was time for her to have a well deserved rest.

Janet saw Caspar finishing his dinner, and then left the hospital.

As soon as she came out of the hospital, her phone rang. Standing in the corridor of a hotel, Daniel asked in a scornful tone, "You finally left his side and came out of the hospital!"

...

'Oh, my god!' Janet instantly looked around her and checked the surroundings.

But, except her bodyguards, she couldn't see anyone looking suspicious.

'But how did he know that I just stepped out the hospital now?' wondered Janet.

She coldly replied, "Mr. Si, what's up?"

"Room 1836 in the Northton Grand Hotel, at the central city garden. Come here, now!" ordered Daniel.
