Chasing After My Beloved Wife novel Chapter 55

When he thought of a possibility, he panicked even more. He snatched his phone from the waiter's hand and quickly pressed some numbers.

"Hey, Shawn, something happened!"

Shawn was playing with Dalton. When he heard Connor's unusual tone, the smile on his lips instantly disappeared. "What happened?"

"That Janina cut her wrist in my room and tried to commit suicide."

Janina? Joye's best friend!

Shawn suddenly stood up from the chair. Dalton was so scared that his face turned pale. He looked up at Shawn uneasily and asked, "Dad, what happened?"

"Be good, Dalton. I have something to deal with and have to go first. Ask your mom to play with you.”

After touching his son’s hair, Shawn took his coat from the chair, made a call, and left the villa.

"Shawn, Jasper, come and eat some fruit."

With the plate of washed fruits in her hand, Vivian walked out of the kitchen with a smile. She saw the empty chair and Dalton pouting sadly.

"Mommy, Dad said that he has something to deal with, so he can't play with me."

Vivian's grip on the plate gradually tightened. There weren't many people who could make him leave in such a hurry.

The Rolls-Royce drove into the parking lot of the hospital. Shawn went straight to the operating theater. When he saw Connor walking back and forth at the door, he raised his eyebrows.

"How long has it been? Why would she hurt herself at your place?"

"How would I know? Even if she’s fragile, she doesn't need to do this.”

Connor was worried. He felt that if she died, he would be traumatized.

"What happened to the both of you?"

Shawn looked at Connor. Ever since what happened at the police station between Connor and Janina, he did not think that they would cause more trouble.

"I didn’t do anything. I just opened her suitcase and looked through her laptop. I found a photo to irritate her, then she went mad and tried to cut herself.”

Shawn's expression became serious. "Do you still remember what happened to the Hill family five years ago?"

Connor was confused, but he had a vague memory.

"Do you mean the Hill family, the family that was destroyed… Is it the Hill family, whose husband and wife’s cars collided with each other and died on the spot? They and Janina... she... is the daughter who went crazy and disappeared?"

Connor was shocked.

His face turned pale.

That big incident happened five years ago. The Hill family was a reputable family with ties to politics and business. Mr. and Mrs. Hill were involved in a car accident while they were driving luxury cars, and died as a result.

In the backseat of Mrs. Hill's car sat the only daughter of the Hill family. Later, someone said that the girl had gone crazy. After a long time, no one mentioned it again.

As for the accident, some tabloids speculated that because Mr. Hill had a mistress, Mrs. Hill decided to kill them and caused the accident on purpose.

However, over the past five years, many people gradually forgot about what happened. Connor did not expect Janina to be a part of this.

When Connor came to his senses, he turned to look at the closed door of the operating theater and suddenly felt pity.

Her parents were dead, and she witnessed all of it. This was enough to drive anyone crazy.

"Janina was mentally fine, but it traumatized her. After that, she went abroad. And she only returned once when I got married to Joye.”

Shawn frowned when he brought up the word “married.” He felt conflicted. How was Joye after spending one week in the hospital?

"I didn't expect her to be so pitiful."

Connor was sitting on a bench in the corridor, with his hands on his temples, and his slender fingers covering most of his face. That crazy woman was just like any other people with their problems to deal with.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the operating theater was pushed open. Connor quickly got up and grabbed the doctor's arm. "Doctor, how is she?"

"The wound has been stitched up and bandaged, and the patient is awake. However, people who have suffered a severe psychological blow usually have intense feelings. You need to pay attention to Miss Hill. I saw that she has other scars on her wrists. This isn’t the first time she did this.”

The doctor sighed. Sometimes, the disease was not the scary part. It was one’s desire for death that was the most terrifying.

Connor's mouth moved for a long time, but he couldn't say anything. She had tried to kill herself many times?

"Thank you, Dr. Jones."

When Shawn wanted to say something, Dr. Jones added, "It’s my job, Mr. Richard. Mr. Turner, I have another operation I need to attend to. I’ll go and make some preparations.”

Janina was pushed out of the operating theater. Her wrists were wrapped tightly, and there was a trace of red on the bandage. Her eyelids were heavy and her face was pale. When she saw Connor and Shawn outside, she turned her face away from them.

"I know you don't want to see me, but can you calm down? Don't hurt yourself! You scared me.”

Connor reached out to push the bed. Janina turned her head as if she wanted to know what he was doing. She shouted, "Don't touch me!"

"The nurse will take care of her." Shawn pulled Connor back so that he wouldn't provoke her emotions. An impatient sound could be heard at the corner of the corridor.

It was a familiar footsteps. Shawn felt his lashes twitch.

Joye's clothes were wet, and her eyes couldn't hide her anxiety. It had suddenly rained. Janina didn’t take an umbrella with her when she left, and when Joye called her, her phone was turned off. It scared Joye.

In the end, she called the Red Sleeves Bar and realized that something had happened to Janina.

She took a taxi to the hospital in a hurry, but she didn't expect to meet Shawn here.

"Joye, can you take care of her for me?"

Connor was a little embarrassed. He wanted Shawn to help him, but then he realized that it was equally awkward for Shawn and Joye.

Joye suppressed the uncontrollable throbbing in her chest and did not look at Shawn. She quickly walked past them and entered the ward.

Seeing Joye come in, Janina tried to hide her wan expression. She quickly raised her uninjured arm and begged for mercy. "Dear, I swear, I really did not try to kill myself. I just had a fever and was confused.”

The last time she tried to commit suicide was five years ago.

Joye wanted to scold her, but she couldn't say a word. Her eyes turned red and she held Janina’s head in her arms. "Do you know that you almost scared me to death?"

Janina had been lively and daring since she was a child. She was very adorable, but she didn't expect her comfortable life would have such a drastic change within a day.
