The Reborn Wife Of The Tyrant CEO
Chapter 291 - 287

Chapter 291: Chapter 287

I didn’t know what she went downstairs for, perhaps to ring Damon again.

About half an hour later, the medics showed up. They did a quick check-up on my mom and confirmed that she was okay, then they took her to the hospital for a more thorough examination.

Naturally, I tagged along while everyone else stayed home.

Once we got to the hospital, my mom was taken for further examination, and I was left waiting anxiously in the hallway, jittery as a grasshopper clinging onto a leaf swaying in the wind.

"Eliana." Suddenly, Jones’s voice echoed from behind me. I whipped around to find his familiar figure.

As I suspected, Jones had gone back to work. He donned his crisp white coat once again, looking thinner than ever. His eyes, hidden. behind his glasses, were unreadable.

I thought about his deceit, and naturally, my guard went up.

I never thought I’d see the day where I’d have to be cautious around Jones

"Hey, back on the clock, huh?" I greeted

him politely.

"What brings you here?" Jones looked me up and down.

I gave a small laugh and said, "Mom seems to have woken up. We brought her here for some tests. I’m just waiting."

Jones’s face finally showed a change. He smiled and said, "Really? That’s great news. Where’s Damon?"

Damon should be with Ariel right now, I thought to myself silently. Though it was a bit of a downer, I had come to terms with it.

I shook my head and said, "He’s tied up."

Jones studied me as if he could see right through me. He moved a bit closer and lowered his head slightly, and asked, "Do you trust him?"

"Jones, I decided to get back together with him. Of course, I trust him." I took a couple of steps back, creating some distance.

"Do you know how he’s been treating you?" Jones scoffed.

Instead of answering, I hit back with a question of my own, "What about you? How have you been treating me?"

Jones paused, slowly removed his glasses, and said, "Don’t you know? Everything I did, it was all to be with you."

He looked a tad scary at that moment...

I decided not to engage him any further, so I kept quiet.

But Jones was far from done. He spoke again. "Didn’t you get the photo?"

Upon hearing that, shock registered on my face. Did Jones send the photo?

"How did you know about the photo?" I finally managed to ask.

"Because I was the one who sent it to you." Jones replied.

"You sent it? How did you get hold of it?" I was caught off guard.

Jones raised his hand as if to touch my face, but I quickly turned my head to avoid his touch.

His movements froze for a second, and the smile on his face vanished. He dropped his hand and said, "I took the photo, just so you could see Damon for what he truly is."

My heart sank

"Clear this up for me. What’s the deal with Damon, Ariel and Ethan?" I pressed on.

"If you want to know, we can meet up after my shift and talk." Jones didn’t answer my question directly, instead suggesting a meet-up.

I knew he just wanted an excuse to see me.

I also knew if Damon found out about my meeting with Jones, it would mean trouble.

But then again, Damon had been hiding things from me too. If he was not willing to come clean, why shouldn’t I seek out the truth?

I thought about it for a while, then agreed to Jones’s proposal, "Alright, just text me the time and place. I’ll be there."

A smile spread across Jones’s face. He seemed pleased with my answer.

"Dr. Jones, the patient in bed 87 is asking for you!" A nurse ran over to inform Jones.

"I have to go now, I’ll text you the details later." Jones told me before turning to leave.

Watching his thin figure fade into the distance filled me with a flurry of emotions.

I wanted to ask him why he had deceived me. Why had he treated Damon the way he did?

But clearly, now was not the right time for confrontation. His mother had just passed away, and he was engaged to a woman he didn’t love. I was probably the love he couldn’t have.

Confronting him now might just trigger his rage.

After Jones left, I felt like a puppet that had its strings cut. The corridor was bathed in light coming from the window at the end, but all I saw was darkness.

Thankfully, my mom was wheeled out of the examination room not long after. She was doing alright.

The doctor said that she hadn’t fully recovered yet, but with constant stimulation and conversation, she should get better.

The doctor asked me, "Do you want to keep your mom admitted here or take her home?"

I hesitated for a moment before deciding to let her stay.

Previous issues had been resolved, and Damon had been a great help, so I wouldn’t be threatened for now.

I was also worried that my mom waking up in Starlight Estates and seeing Damon and his parents might shock her.

I got her a room in the hospital and hired the previous caretaker again, offering a higher salary.

Just as I was about to leave the hospital, I ran into Ariel at the entrance.

And of course, Damon was with her.

Upon seeing me, Ariel looked surprised, whereas Damon frowned.

So Ariel and Damon were indeed together.

"Eliana, don’t get the wrong idea. I was just feeling a little off today, and Damon happened to be around, so he gave me a lift here." Ariel tried to explain innocently.

"Hmm," I responded indifferently before turning to Damon, "Your mom has been trying to call you. Did you get her messages?"

Damon scrunched his brows as his gaze landed on Ariel, who suddenly looked nervous.

Clearly, Ariel had intercepted Damon’s calls and didn’t tell him about it.

"Oh, right Damon, your mother called while you were away. I answered it for you. She seemed pretty upset, and then she hung up. I forgot to tell you" Ariel looked embarrassed

Damon’s face darkened even more. He whipped out his phone to check the call logs, then shot back, "You had the brains to forget to tell me, but not enough to delete my call history, right?"

Ariel’s face went pale as a ghost, biting her lip at a loss for words.
