Suddenly, their attitudes towards her became much more respectful: "Ah, I apologize. Ms. Joanna, Mr. Lawrence has not been discharged yet. However, he has been moved to a different room and no longer resides here."
Annie Lawrence blinked. "He’s not here anymore? Where was he moved to?"
The nurse glanced at her, wondering to herself how a sibling could not know this.
Still, she politely responded, "Mr. Lawrence was moved to the VIP ward in a special area quite some time ago."
Annie Lawrence’s face suddenly changed upon hearing "VIP ward in a special area."
A look of disbelief appeared on her face.
"Are you sure Jeremy Lawrence was moved there?"
If it was a VIP ward in a special area, it wouldn’t be a place just anyone could stay.
Even if they had money, it wouldn’t be enough.
Those who could stay in that area were all extremely prominent and important figures.
When Sir Luther of the Benington family fell ill and was hospitalized, David’s father strained his connections yet he was still unable to get Sir Luther into that VIP ward.
Could it be that Jeremy Lawrence, a poor and insignificant individual, managed to get in?!
However, she quickly speculated that it must be that mysterious man who had arranged for Jeremy Lawrence to be moved there.
A deep-seated jealousy rose in her heart.
Even the Benington family could not pull this off, yet that man could.
What is his identity exactly?
She had met most of the heirs from Closia’s wealthy families, yet she had no impression whatsoever of this man.
Could it be that he did not reside in Closia before this?
"I would like to see my brother, please lead me there." Annie Lawrence took a deep breath, suppressing various emotions of discontent and jealousy. She ordered the nurse in a commanding tone.
At this moment, however, the nurse began to doubt her identity.
"Miss Joanna, you can call Mr. Lawrence. He will tell you which room he’s staying in."
"What do you mean?" Annie Lawrence’s brows furrowed, "You suspect that I am lying to you?"
"Miss Joanna, it’s not that..."
"I am Annie Lawrence."
Annie Lawrence removed her sunglasses, revealing her concealed face. Irritatedly, she asked, "Do you still think I am lying to you?"
The nurse looked up to see Annie Lawrence’s still-swollen face, and was startled.
Upon closer examination, the woman standing in front of her with a swollen face indeed seemed to be Annie Lawrence, the current first-class rising starlet.
But how did Annie Lawrence’s face become so swollen?
It looked as if she had been severely beaten.
Furthermore, she was unusual for being another sibling of Jeremy Lawrence?
This was indeed surprising.
Jeremy Lawrence had been hospitalized for quite a while but Annie Lawrence never paid him a visit.
During various interviews in the past, Annie Lawrence never mentioned that she had a sister and brother.
The nurse faintly guessed something.
It seems that the relationship within this family is quite complicated.
Also, while it was often said that Annie Lawrence was down-to-earth and approachable, it appeared this was all a facade.
There was not the slightest hint of approachability in her impatient behavior just now.
As expected, one could not place too much trust in the public image a celebrity portrays!
She was escorted to the VIP ward where Jeremy Lawrence was residing.
When she noticed a few bodyguards standing outside the ward, she became petrified.
The nurse stepped forward and explained her identity to the bodyguards.
The bodyguards scrutinized her for a few seconds and then said in a cold voice, "Please wait for a moment."
After saying that, a bodyguard turned and entered the ward.
As Annie Lawrence stood at the entrance, wanting to go in directly, she was stopped by someone.
