Chapter 114 Rekindling Romance
Jennifer hesitated for a moment. Eventually, she decided to tell him about her experiences in the Wilson family.
Upon hearing that, Raymond said, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. That’s merely a challenge for you. Conner is right. You should use this opportunity to prove yourself.”
“But then, I’m afraid that I can’t handle it well…” Jennifer said as a hint of dejectedness appeared in her eyes.
“How would you know if you don’t give it a try?” Raymond chuckled. “As long as you work hard, you’ll always get what you want in the end. How could a man beat the accumulation of effort over many generations on his own? That’s why I think this will be a valuable opportunity for you. You have the support of a century-old affluent family now.”
Jennifer looked at Raymond’s dark opaque eyes. Suddenly, she noticed wisdom in his gaze. After pondering for a while, she asked, “Has Donald come here recently? How is he doing?”
Raymond replied, “Oh. He comes often.”
“Alone?” Jennifer asked at last.
Raymond broke into a laugh. “Of course. Who else would he come with?”
Jennifer chuckled as a sense of relief washed over her.
Suddenly, a beautiful woman walked over to them. She was wearing a tight gown, accentuating her slender body and curves.
Moreover, there was a food container in her hand. As soon as she saw Jennifer, she was startled. Immediately, she walked toward Raymond with a cold expression. “Raymond, your mushroom soup is here.”
It was Hannah Nixon, Nouveau Hospital’s professor.
Ignoring Jennifer, she handed the soup to Raymond.
Raymond flashed a smile. “You don’t have to send me soup every day. I don’t want to delay your work.”
Hannah shook her head and replied indifferently, “It’s okay. I’m not that busy unless I have any major operations.”
Raymond took over the soup.
Jennifer said, “All right, Raymond. I’ll take my leave now. I’ll pay you another visit when I have time.”
Raymond nodded without saying anything.
Jennifer cast a long look at Hannah before walking out of the room. Then, she headed to see Rafe.
Rafe was still in the hospital. He was scrolling through the recruitment posts on the phone in the ward. He looked slightly awkward the moment he saw Jennifer walking over with a fruit basket. “M-Mrs. Campbell, you’re here.”
Soon, he felt that it was inappropriate to address her like that. After all, he knew that Donald and Jennifer had divorced.
Jennifer put the basket to the side. She took out a stool and sat down. “Has Donald been here recently?”
Rafe answered, “Yes. But, perhaps he was busy with his work, so he didn’t stay for too long.”
Jennifer fell silent. After some time, she asked, “Are you feeling better now?”
“Thank you for asking, Mrs. Campbell. I’ve pretty much recovered. The doctor will probably discharge me from the hospital in a few more days,” Rafe explained.
“That’s great. You don’t have to rush to get a new job. I have some money with me. You can use it first.” Jennifer handed him a bank card. “There’s not much on the card. I have only around thirty thousand on it. Give me a call if it’s not enough for you.”
“It’s all right. There’s no need for that.” Rafe quickly turned her down.
“Just take it.” Jennifer put the card on the bedside table.
With that, Rafe stopped rejecting her. “How have you been these days, Mrs. Campbell?” he asked.
“I’m doing fine.” Jennifer replied, “Rest well. I’ll take my leave now.”
“Okay.” Rafe stood up and saw her out of the ward.
Suddenly, Jennifer turned around at the entrance. “If Donald comes here, tell him to call me after he is no longer angry.”
Rafe was taken aback by her words. He nodded, saying, “Okay. Don’t worry, Mrs. Campbell.”
Soon after, Jennifer left. Rafe sighed as he stared at her disappearing figure. Even he knew that she and Donald would never be able to get back together again.
Although he did not know the true identity of Donald, he knew that Donald was no longer how he used to be.
Furthermore, he had Lana, Hannah, and Reina with him. Hence, it would be difficult for Jennifer to rekindle their romance.
