He did not expect…
When Jude said nothing, Nigel had already guessed what happened the night before.
He sighed and said, “As expected. He would only treat my Mommy well when he is drunk.”
Jude paused for a while.
“Nigel, this is not the truth. All of you have misunderstood your Daddy. He actually has always been…”
“Uncle Jude.”
Nigel did not want to let Jude brainwash him. “How is Mr. Morrison now?”
“Not well.”
Jude sighed, “He vomited blood at four in the morning, so I took him to the hospital. After a few hours of resuscitation he is no longer in danger, but still unconscious.”
Then, Jude pursed his lips.
“Nigel. Since your Mommy has already received all those roses? She should be feeling better now, right?”
Nigel pursed his lips.
“What are you trying to say?”
“Can you convince your Mommy to come to visit him at the hospital?”
Jude turned around and looked at Brettley, whose face was pale and eyes remained shut, through the door slit.
He said in a low voice, “The doctor said that he would surely wake up, but when he wakes up depends on the external stimulus he receives.”
Nigel, on the other end of the call, pursed his lips. “He has his darling Ms. Blake.”
“Furthermore, what does it have to do with me when he wakes up?”
Jude spoke with emotion and reason, “Your Daddy is the president of the Morrison Group! As long as he is unconscious, the Morrison Group will be missing its leader. It will be a huge loss! “
Nigel said, “What does the Morrison Group’s loss have to do with me?”
Jude was speechless. Nigel’s stubborn ways were very similar to Bethan’s.
He furrowed his brows. He could only use his final move.
“You’ll be undergoing your operation in less than a week. He has not even transferred the money to your Mommy. If he continues being unconscious, not only will the Morrison Group be affected. Your sickness too! “
Nigel was silent for a while upon Jude’s words.
He was actually not worried for Brettley. He only thought about how Brettley upset his Mommy while also being ambiguous with another woman. It did not sit well with Nigel.
However, Jude was right too. His treatment cannot be delayed.
Bethan has already lost Neil, she could not lose him too.
Therefore, Nigel took a deep breath.
“Okay, then. I will find time to convince my Mommy.”
Then, Nigel immediately hung up.
Hearing the disconnecting tone, Jude sighed heavily. Actually, Brettley was in a much worse condition than he described.
Six years ago, when Brettley thought that Bethan died, he drank to his death.
In a mere short month, Brettley has lost a lot of weight. His health was declining.
No matter what ways he or Brettley’s family used, no one could help a man who is constantly on the verge of collapse.
Later on, Brettley had become very ill. He was on the brink of death many times. In the end, Cynthal kept muttering Bethan Peterson’s name, then only Brettley gained consciousness once more.
At that moment, Brettley’s old illness relapsed, exactly like back then.
The doctor said that the previous method might not be useful for Brettley at that moment.
Jude could only put his hopes on Nigel, hoping that Nigel would be able to convince Bethan to come over.
After clearing up the roses in her office, Bethan did not spend too much time fussing about who sent her the roses.
She simply tidied up her office desk and started a new day of work.
What made her surprised was Fiona, who was the intern, was extremely quiet the entire day, other than the conflict she had with Bethan that morning, when Bethan was lecturing her staff.
Fiona was so quiet it frightened Bethan.
After work, Bethan was organizing her documents while looking at Fiona, who was outside her office working seriously.
Something was not right.
If Fiona did not look for Brettley that morning, that was because it was still early and Brettley was not in his office yet, so Fiona could not complain to Brettley.
That was because she knew that even if she called Brettley, he would not come over directly.
However, what about at that moment?
Fiona has been so quiet for the entire day. Did Brettley not come to work for the entire day as well?
It was impossible.
Brettley was a famous workaholic. Whether it was six years before or six years later. In his heart, work will also be more important than his personal life.
How could he not come to work?
At that moment, Charmaine, who kept hoping that Fiona would look after her, smiled at Fiona attentively.
“Fiona, after work are you going back home directly or will you be heading to the president’s office and wait for Mr. Morrison?”
Fiona smiled gently at Charmaine. “I’ll be going back myself. Brettley did not come to work today.”
“Then, would you want to go shopping with me, Ms. Blake?”
Charmaine smiled and continued fawning over Fiona.
“Ms. Blake, you’re amazing. Mr. Morrison has never taken a leave of absence for so many years. Once he was with you, he even knew how to take a rest. It must be all thanks to you! “
Fiona pursed her lips. She said gently, “He is not resting. He’s ill.”
Then, Fiona looked toward Bethan’s office meaningfully.
Her gaze coincidentally met with Bethan’s.
They looked at each other. Fiona sneered and retracted her gaze.
“I won’t tag along to the mall. I have to go take care of Brettley.”
Then, Fiona carried her bag, turned, and left. Looking at her leaving, Bethan sneered.
Brettley was sick? He deserved it.
At that moment, Bethan’s phone rang.
“Mommy.”
Nigel, on the other end of the line, took a deep breath. “I heard that Mr. Morrison has been admitted to the hospital. I want to visit him, can I?”
Bethan furrowed her brows confusedly.
“How do you know that Brettley is in the hospital? “
If Fiona did not mention it a moment ago, no one in the company would know about the fact that Brettley is in the hospital.
Why would Nigel, who was at home recuperating, know about Brettley being admitted to the hospital?
“I was the one that told him.”
