Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 336

Walking out of the Dawson residence, I could feel the bitter resentment trapped in my chest begin to

dissipate. But I knew, with a certainty that chilled, human nature like theirs always lashes back.

Well, let them come. The real thrill is yet to come!

After getting into the car, Hannah turned to me and said, "We should swing by the hospital. It’s time to

sort out the discharge paperwork."

"Perfect. I’ve been meaning to have a word with Janice Mackenzie-Geneva anyway," I replied with a

nod, sinking into the car seat with exhaustion.

"Aaliyah, you think those two old vultures won't rat us out to Jaylan?" Hannah asked as she drove,

glancing my way.

"If they can't reach Jerome, they'll definitely contact Jaylan," I said confidently.

"And then... they'll tattle again! Aren't you worried Jaylan will be on guard against you?" Hannah's voice

held a note of concern. "Wasn't today a bit too much?"

"Jaylan's not just going to be on guard; he's been on guard. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be hiding his

cellphones. But with things the way they are, he'll strike back even harder. You think he's going to let go

of those properties easily?" I shot back at Hannah’s questions.

"Do you really think he'll cough them all up?" Hannah pressed, "Is he that obedient?"

I fell silent for a moment, my thoughts suddenly crystal clear. I had to thank to Hannah; her casual

remark might have just given me the insight I needed.

In the game of war, it’s the allies who can turn the tide at crucial moments!

"Everything in Jaylan’s name will be accounted for. The worry is what might be hidden under other

people’s names," I said.

"You're right. No wonder he was so quick to settle!" Hannah remarked.

"You said it. And now I really need to dig deeper!"

"That might not be easy," Hannah said skeptically.

"Then we start with the Dawson clan and their circle. Jaylan wouldn’t use unrelated people to buy

properties," I insisted, thinking about the Dawson family’s loyalists in high positions at Medsafe Liyah

Inc. A cold smile played on my lips.

"Jaylan must hate me to the marrow by now, he’s rushing off to Silverdale City to get closer to the

Wilburn family’s gold mine. That street, and VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals – that's the big fish he's after!

The more vicious he gets, the more likely he is to bend the knee. The more he plays the fool now, the

more dirt he's hiding."

"So, you're saying the real battle is about to begin?" Hannah’s tone turned serious.

"It’s all about who’s got the better strategy," I said with confidence. After all, I had faith in my father, and

Ronan was a key figure in our plan.

Reaching the hospital, Hannah and I split up. She went to handle the discharge, while I went straight to

Janetta Mackenzie’s room, certain Janice would be there.

The room was bustling. Janice had brought her newborn to see his aunt for the first time. The little guy

had just been approved to leave the incubator, and Janice didn’t waste a moment bringing him to

Janetta.

Janetta couldn't say much, but her mind was clear. She smiled joyously at the sight of Janice's son.

As soon as I entered, she was excited, gesturing for the nurse to prop her up in bed. She had improved

significantly in just two days, now able to sit with support.

I gestured towards the baby, suggesting Janetta take a look first. She nodded vigorously and said,

"Yes!"

"Oh, come off it! His dad's the smartest; there’s no way he’ll take after me!" I retorted while taking the

baby.

Looking down at the tiny baby in my arms, I thought, what a pint-sized little guy, a whole size smaller

than the average newborn. Coոtent оf

"Look at you! Little man! When you grow up, you’ll have to be wise and powerful like your dad."

Unexpectedly, the little guy cracked a smile. His previously wrinkled face blossomed into a beaming

grin.

"Ah! He's smiling, look, look…" Janice exclaimed with delight.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
