When leaving Zenith One, it was still half an hour until three o’clock.
Evelyn Clayton hurriedly sent messages to Yara Reagan and Iris Lockwood to put their minds at ease.
However, just as she stepped out, she encountered James Grant waiting nearby in his car.
Seeing the window of the Maybach in front of her roll down, revealing James Grant’s handsome face with a hint of ingratiating expression, Evelyn choked up a bit.
James Grant now seemed like a ghost that wouldn’t leave, always appearing around.
But his attitude was so gracious that it was hard to find words to drive him away.
"Get in, I’ll give you a ride." James Grant’s smile was gentle.
Evelyn wanted to refuse, but when she met James Grant’s seemingly sincere eyes, she inexplicably found herself getting into the car.
The car moved smoothly and slowly.
Evelyn even saw a bicycle speed past them, leaving them behind.
"The speed limit here is forty," Evelyn couldn’t hold back, glanced at the dashboard, and almost laughed out of anger.
James Grant’s speed wasn’t even twenty miles per hour.
"I watched a movie a few days ago," James Grant said seriously, "all about car accidents. There are a lot of cars in Aethelburg and traffic jams. I’m not that familiar with the area, so I need to be careful."
Evelyn sneered inwardly.
She didn’t believe a word he said.
If James Grant wasn’t familiar with the roads in Aethelburg, how did he manage to follow her wherever she went?
At this driving speed, even if Evelyn got out and ran, she’d be faster than this.
They finally arrived at the hospital, and it was already twenty past three.
What should have been a half-hour drive took James fifty minutes, and he even seemed prepared to accompany Evelyn into the inpatient department.
"James Grant, I didn’t invite you today," Evelyn suppressed her displeasure, looking coldly at James Grant. "Sharon didn’t want to see you today either."
A faint hurt flickered in James Grant’s deep eyes, adding a touch of vulnerability to his demeanor.
"But, Sharon told me yesterday that she wanted me to come see her today."
Evelyn’s breath hitched when she saw the look in his eyes and she instinctively turned away.
Yet at this moment, she suddenly remembered what Sharon said yesterday about wanting to have dinner with her dad.
Though it was just a child’s dream talk, Evelyn couldn’t help but care.
After much inner conflict, Evelyn lowered her voice and said, "Sharon likes to eat fish and is allergic to onions."
After saying this, Evelyn turned and left.
James remained frozen for a moment before it suddenly clicked.
He was almost overjoyed.
Was Evelyn hinting for him to bring food to visit Sharon?
James trembled with excitement and turned to leave with large strides.
Meanwhile, back in the ward, Evelyn checked on Sharon without mentioning James waiting below, intending to surprise her later.
She then called on Yara and Iris to come to the rest room adjacent to the ward.
Both were eagerly waiting for Evelyn to explain today’s events.
Evelyn calmed herself for a while before sorting out the conversation with Yvette Warren today and recounted it to them in detail.
The room fell deathly silent. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novelFɪre.net
After an unknown amount of time, Iris murmured, "My God... this is a lot to take in, I need a moment."
Yara’s face turned pale, "So, are we considered allies with Yvette Warren now?"
"Not quite. It’s more like she’s trying to use me, and I’m quite eager to use her. As for who will succeed in the end, that remains to be seen."
From the current situation, the likelihood of Yvette Warren succeeding was very high.
While on her side, it was zero.
So Evelyn needed to be extremely cautious.
