FreeNovelChapter 726 Riddles Beathan was strongly tempted to go to Capebatt City to investigate. However, Jake stopped him.
"Remember Mr. Davis? He fell right into Emelie's trap. That woman is incredibly cunning. We can never anticipate her next move," Jake said.
Beathan immediately calmed down, and Jake suggested, "Why don't you call Mr. Middleton? He's close to Elias and should know." It made sense, so Beathan immediately called William.
At that moment, William and Jayden had just arrived at the hospital.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWilliam's response was brief. "I don't know any more than you do at this point," Beathan was tense. "Please, Mr. Middleton. If you hear anything, letknow." "Alright," William replied. He didn't hang up the phone and headed toward the operating room.
Elias, Emelie, and Wesley were waiting outside the operating room. Emelie had changed into warmer clothes. William's gaze swept past Emelie and landed on Elias. "What's the situation?" Elias muttered, "The doctor hasn't cout yet, so we don't know..." But the next moment, he chuckled. "Will, I saw it. Ash opened her eyes just now. She even looked at me.
"It was just for a little more than ten seconds, but her vitals changed. She's waking up! She's really waking up..." It had been two years since Ashley was attacked at the courthouse and suffered severe injuries. She had lost her six month old unborn child and had fallen into a coma.
Tears streamed down Elias' face, and he choked up. "Ash, I've waited for so long. You're finally waking up. Jayden walked over and patted Elias on his shoulder comfortingly.
Beathan, listening on the other end of the phone, was silent for a long time. Then, he said, "Thank you, Mr. Middleton." William hung up and waited outside the operating room with the others. He was leaning against one end of the wall while Emelie and Wesley were leaning against the other end.
Following the "love triangle" episode at the wedding banquet an hour ago, the three of them met again.
Jayden initiated the conversation this time. He said politely, "Mr. Graham, I've heard many things about you. Now that I've met you, you're really as great as they say." Wesley responded politely as well. "Mr. Gleamfield, you're too kind." Emelie was nicer to Jayden compared to William. "Filo Group is also in the jewelry industry and has collaborated with your company. We're planning to expand this year, and I hope we can continue our partnership." Jayden replied with a smile, "Absolutely. Even without mentioning business, given your relationship with Mr. Graham, we're sure to collaborate with you." Their conversation seemed cordial, but there was an underlying tension.
Jayden and Emelie were considered friends. Back then, when everyone thought she was dead, only Jayden built a cenotaph for her. He was even more loyal to Emelie than William.
As Emelie's fiance, Wesley was also considered a friend by Jayden. Such polite exchanges were expected. However, Jayden's gaze was fixed on Wesley and not Emelie the entire time.
Wesley maintained his calm demeanor.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJayden continued, "I heard that the Graham and Pierce families were once very close. It's really touching." Wesley responded, "I also admire the friendship between you, Mr. Middleton, and Mr. Undvike." They looked at each other meaningfully.
Emelie didn't fully understand what was going on, but she sensed the underlying tension. "What riddles are you speaking in, Mr. Gleamfield?"
Jayden replied, "No riddles. Given your relationship with Mr. Graham, how could I be speaking in fiddles?" Emelie was rather attentive. She Was noticed Jayden had mentioned "relationship" multiple times.
Just then, the operating room doors opened, and Shane emerged. The renowned doctor was scholarly looking and young, seeming to be in his early thirties. He was about to tell Elias about Ashley when Emelie interrupted him.
"Wait a moment," she said, turning to Elias. "Mr. Undvike, it's best if outsiders don't know Ashley's condition. Don't you agree?" Jayden asked, "We're all friends here. Who's the outsider?"
Emelie replied calmly, "Appearances can be deceiving. Speople have a keen interest in Ashley, and others are associated with them: Someone's phone was left on earlier, as if they were eager to report back. If outsiders learn about Ashley's condition, it could hinder her recovery." She was implying that William was the outsider.
Jayden said in a low tone, "Ms. Hoven, I can say the sto you. We've known Elias since we were children. We wouldn't harm him." Emelie responded, "I'm just suggesting. The decision is ultimately Mr. Undvike's." Everyone turned to Elias, wondering if he would ask William to leave.
