The bodyguards waiting outside spoke coldly to her, "To visit Mr. Jeremy Lawrence, you need his permission to enter."
How dare that short-lived ghost Jeremy put on such a big show with her?
"You, get out of my way. I am Jeremy’s sister. Do I need his permission to see my own brother?"
The bodyguards still blocked her, speaking coldly, "Sorry, Mr. Jeremy’s sister, we only know of one Miss Joanna Lawrence. Who are you?"
Before Annie could announce herself, she heard Jeremy’s voice coming from the hospital room, "I don’t know this woman. You can chase her away."
Hearing Jeremy say he didn’t know her, Annie was so angry she nearly stomped her foot, but thinking of the purpose of her trip, she held back her anger and changed to a gentle tone: "Jeremy, I am your sister. How can you not know me?"
"Are you angry that I didn’t come to see you? I was really too busy recently. I wanted to come but couldn’t. I came as soon as I could. You stop being angry with me and let me in to talk to you, okay?"
The young man inside the hospital room had delicate features and a cold expression on his face. He looked at her without emotion, "Sister? I only have one sister. I don’t know who you are."
Being repeatedly insulted, Annie felt like throwing up.
The fake gentleness on her face also began to stiffen.
She took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and forced a stiff smile, "Jeremy, I came to find you because there is something very important that I need to tell you. It’s about your sister Joanna. Don’t you really want to know?"
Jeremy raised his eyebrows and stared at her for a few seconds.
Seeing the expression on his face soften, Annie hurried to say, "I know how much you care about Joanna, and I care about her too. So this matter must be brought to your attention. Joanna has always valued you, and only you can convince her."
"What is it that you’re talking about?"
"Let me in first; these things should not be disclosed to outsiders."
A hint of hesitation appeared on the pretty, delicate face of the young man. After a moment, he told the bodyguards outside, "Let her in."
As soon as Annie entered the hospital room and closed the door, Jeremy immediately asked, "What is it? Tell me."
As a child, Jeremy only had a good relationship with Joanna Lawrence.
The two of them never got along with Annie.
As they grew up, they became even more at odds.
After learning that Annie was still involved with David Benington, Jeremy’s disgust for her increased tremendously.
If it wasn’t for the fact that she mentioned Joanna, he wouldn’t have seen her.
After entering the hospital room, Annie looked around, thinking there’s no wonder why everyone with money wants to stay here.
The difference between this hospital room and others is too huge.
She saw expensive flowers on the bedside table and coffee table, and various luxurious supplements - there were so many she couldn’t keep up.
The more she saw, the more uncomfortable she felt inside.
It was obvious that the man valued Jeremy as well.
This showed that he cared deeply about Joanna.
Just thinking about it made her feel sour, and it was especially unpleasant.
She walked slowly to the side of the hospital bed, looked down at Jeremy, and feigned concern, "Jeremy, how are you now? Are you feeling any better?"
Jeremy didn’t even want to engage in this fake exchange with her. He responded curtly, "I won’t die."
