Chapter 1189
The Woman From Hell
"He wonât.â I smiled. âHeâll seem too narrowminded if he gets angry.â
The corners of Shannonâs mouth twitched." Maybe he really is narrow-minded."
I did not say anything else and was just about to go downstairs to buy some food when Jordan
walked into the ward.
He was holding a bag that seemed to contain food.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you?" He seemed exhausted. "I bought something to eat. Have some
before you go home.â
I was stunned. I would not believe for a second that he did not like Shannon seeing the level of
sincerity he showed.
He rushed over to bring Shannon food amidst his hectic schedule. What was this i f not affection?
Shannon was over the moon to see Jordan, and the smile on her face grew even brighter.
She held my hand and said with a smile," Why don't you have something to eat before going home,
Wanda? It looks like he has bought a lot of food. You might as well have some before you go."
Jordan smiled and took out all the food from the bag. "Lally told me about a new restaurant that
happens to be on the way to the hospital, so I went to buy some food from there. See if you like the
taste.â
After saying that, he positioned the overbed table and placed a bowl of oatmeal on it.
Shannon frowned. "I don't want to eat oatmeal."
"Be good and have some." Jordan touched her head.
Shannon blushed and nodded compliantly.
I felt like a third wheeler.
I sat down and had my meal with them without a single reservation.
The food was really good and thinking that Theo might like it too, I figured I should take him to the
restaurant to try out the food one day.
Shannon saw how exhausted Jordan was and asked with a heartache, "Are you especially busy
today? You donât have time for a nap, do you?"
Jordan nodded. "This has become big news, so Grant Corporation plans to hold a press
conference."
If something got to the point of needing to hold a press conference, then that just showed how
serious things had become.
Casting my mind back to the phone call Theo answered on our way to the hospital, I figured he
must be snowed under with work today.
Shannon felt sorry for him and said to me," Wanda, why don't you stay here with me tonight and let
Jordan have a good rest at home?â
"Sure." I had already made plans to stay with her in the hospital tonight anyway.
"It's okay," Jordan said.
"I'll take a nap after the meal and catch up o n sleep. Iâm worried that you wonât be able t o sleep
well if I go home."
Another splash of public display of affection.
Jordan looked at me and said with a smile, "If you donât go home tonight, then Mr. Grant will bury
himself in work, which results in more pressure from Grant Corporation. Who knows, I might even
die o f exhaustion before 1 finish my work?â
"Yeah." Shannon's eyes lit up. "If you can serve Theo and make him happy, then Jordan won't be so
tired, Wanda."
She looked at Jordan and said with great pity, "But it's tiring for you to stay in the hospital with me.
My heart wonât be able to take it."
She hugged Jordan's arm after saying that.
The two told me what to do while splashing me with a public display of affection. Did they not think it
was rude?
I gently sighed. âFine. I'll go home after eating.â
After eating, I chatted with Shannon for a while more and decided to leave.
Jordan got up with me and said, "I'll walk you out.â
I looked at Shannon to seek her opinion
âLet Jordan walk you downstairs. You didn't drive here. He can hail a cab for you."
I smiled slightly. "Okay.â
