Chapter 260
Jenna felt restless all day. As usual, she stayed in Richards Manor in the morning to prepare for the special New Year's banquet and went to the hospital in the afternoon.
Hansen was still very busy. He had not returned to Green Jade Garden for the past two days and Jenna did not call to ask either. Sometimes, she felt that she kept the walls in her heart up firmly, so firm that it was enough to conceal all of her longing towards Hansen and she did not tend to miss him easily.
That afternoon, she came to Trevor's ward as usual.
Trevor's eyes were able to remain open for a much longer time and he was able to move his arms. As soon as he saw Jenna, he would look at her and open his mouth as if he wanted to say something. However, even if he mustered all his strength, he was unable to say a complete sentence.
"Uncle Richards, you don't need to rush it. Soon, you will be able to speak properly." Every time when that happened, Jenna would comfort him tenderly as she helped his limbs with the rehabilitation exercises.
Now that he insisted on doing rehabilitation exercises every day, he was able to lift his hands and feet, and his gaze was much more flexible as well.
Right when she massaged his arm, Jenna's heart began thumping loudly in her chest.
He should be receiving an infusion. However, where did the needle go?
Trevor didn't have a needle injected in his arm.
She bent down and looked for it attentively. Soon, she found that the needle was removed and it was hanging loosely on the stand as its fluid trickled onto the floor. There was some blood on the
back of Trevor's hand and it was obvious that the needle was removed not long ago.
She placed a cotton swab on the back of his hand hurriedly as she reached out and rang the emergency bell on the bedside table.
Soon, a nurse rushed over.
"Young Madam, what's the matter?" Marian Wyld, the head nurse, walked in and asked hurriedly.
"Look, Madam Wyld. Why was the needle in Mr. Trevor's hand removed?" Jenna pointed to the needle hanging on the infusion stand as she asked Marian.
"Oh." Marian picked up the needle and took a closer look. She then checked the wound on the back of Trevor's hand. Suddenly, her expression changed as she said oddly, "Really? It's impossible for the needle to be accidentally detached. Before I left, I remember seeing surgical tape sticking to the back of his hand."
Jenna's heart sank instantly.
"Who was here just now?" she frowned slightly as she interrogated Marian.
"Please wait a minute, Young Madam. I'll call for the nurse on duty to come." Marian hurried away.
Jenna slumped abruptly onto the soft chair in front of the bed. Suddenly, a bad feeling began to fill her entire body and she felt chills down her spine.
As she looked up, she saw Trevor working hard to open his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
"Uncle Richards, are you trying to say something?" Jenna leaned closer to him and asked softly.
Trevor tried to raise his arm as his mouth remained ajar. However, he wasn't able to speak coherently at all. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Jenna's gaze darkened instantly.
After a moment, Marian walked in with the nurse on duty behind her.
"Please tell us, Tina. Who came here this morning and who was here just now?" Marian asked the round-faced nurse.
"Let me think." Tina Adams, the nurse who took care of Trevor, tilted her head as she blinked. After thinking for a while, she said, "No one has been here actually. In the morning, Madam Marissa came over for two hours, and then I stayed outside and came in to check from time to time. I haven't seen anyone here anymore and Young Madam came after that."
"Have you ever left the nurse's station then? Or have you seen any suspicious strangers appearing in the corridor?" Jenna felt sorrowful. Her eyes squinted as she asked sternly.
"No, I did not. There is a corner in the corridor here and anyone who came would have to pass through our nurse's station. It is impossible to intrude with nobody noticing." As Tina faced Jenna's aggressive questioning, she got a little scared and she shook her head profusely.
"Fine, but look, Mr. Trevor’ s needle was unplugged for no reason. This is not a trivial matter. Please keep an attentive eye on it in the future. If anyone comes to visit, they must register with their ID card first. A call must be made to get Madam Marissa's and my consent, do you understand?"
Marian said with a solemn expression, "If what happened today was in fact done deliberately, it would be really fortunate if nothing bad happened. However, should any mishap happen, you would not get away with the blame since it happened during your duty period. Fortunately, Young Madam noticed it early and no accidents happened. You may leave now."
After Marian warned Tina, she instructed her to leave first.
"Young Madam, I don't think someone deliberately pulled it out. It was probably the chairman himself who removed it as he felt uncomfortable. Now that he is able to move his arm, this could be possible." Marian picked up the tubing, changed its needle, and gave Trevor an intravenous injection. Soon, the saline was infused into Trevor's blood vessel again.
"Madam Wyld, I would like to ask, what kind of medicine are you infusing to Mr. Trevor now and what are the effects?" Jenna looked at the prescription and enquired.
"Young Madam, these are all medicines for dredging blood vessels and nutritional rehabilitation for patients who suffered from stroke," Marian replied without hesitation.
"Oh." Jenna nodded and continued, "If the patient doesn't use these medicines every day, will it cause any implications?"
"Well... Young Madam, now that the patient is in the process of recovering and that improvements could be observed every day, it proved that these medicines are very suitable for the patient. If they were stopped suddenly, of course, it will cause the patient to not be able to recover, he may even suffer from serious complications. After all, the patient just had a brain operation," Marian explained with a serious expression.
"Okay, I see." Jenna nodded and said in a deep voice, "Let's end this matter here and forget about it for now. Perhaps, it was really the patient himself who pulled it off unknowingly. Starting today, you need to improve on your nursing care. After all, we wouldn't be able to stay here often. I don’t want this to happen again in the future."
"Sure. Rest assured, I will order them to step up on the supervision," Marian quickly replied.
"Good, feel free to go ahead then," Jenna nodded and said as she smiled slightly.
"Okay, Young Madam. I'll take my leave now; please call me whenever you need me," Marian said her goodbyes to Jenna and rushed away.
Jenna sat in Trevor's ward and only left when she saw that the saline had been fully infused into Trevor's blood vessels.
However, the suspicion in her heart grew stronger and stronger. Throughout more than two hours of infusion, Trevor had never tried to pull off the needle by himself. His hands would still move as usual, but after Jenna's careful observation, even though Trevor's arm could move, it was almost impossible for him to drag his arm across and pull out the needle. He could move his arms but his fingers were not quite flexible. If even picking up a cup was difficult for him, it was impossible for him to be able to remove the needle so precisely.
Someone must be deliberately trying to remove the needle tubing. Obviously, they did not want him to recover.
With the thought in mind, Jenna stood up in shock.
Who would not want Trevor to recover from his illness?
It could not be Marissa, let alone Hansen. Of course, it was not her as well.
However, only three of them knew about Trevor going to the United States for a surgery and that he was about to recover so far. Of course, there were also the people in this hospital, her mother in the ward and Vivian who knew about it. However, these people would never wish for Trevor to not be able to recover.
Who would it be?
Jenna's head began to throb in pain.
This was no small matter. Should she tell Hansen? Jenna pondered.
Currently, there was no evidence and no trace of someone removing the needle as well. Moreover, no bad consequences occurred. Would he consider it a fuss if she told him just like that?
She decided to wait and further observe the situation. If there was actually someone who wished for Trevor to be unable to stand up, they would not stop if their goal was not achieved. Since some other measures would definitely be taken, it was best to wait and see.
However, they must be more attentive in their care. It must be taken seriously.
For the following two days, Jenna visited the hospital as usual. At first, nothing happened, but on the third day, an accident occurred: the needle was removed again.
This time around, Jenna was extremely anxious.
She summoned Marian for another detailed inquiry. Just like last time, no suspicions were noticed. The nurses on duty said that they had never seen anyone come in.
Jenna was utterly puzzled this time. As she sat in front of Trevor's hospital bed, she felt a pounding headache.
At that point of time, Marian understood the severity of the matter as well. She immediately reported to the superiors and they did not dare to neglect the matter, and more people were sent to look after the ward. Besides meal breaks and toilet breaks, the nurses guarded the ward all day.
However, the same thing happened again after two days. It almost drove Jenna crazy.
She called Hansen's number. However, he happened to be on a business trip that few days and he went to Capital City for some company- related event. Jenna gave him several calls but he was
always busy when that happened. The phone calls always ended up with him hanging up after saying something hurriedly.
She could only leave the hospital during nighttime when everything died down.
She didn't dare to be careless this time. From the following day onwards, she planned to stay with him personally and only leave after the infusion was completed.
Nighttime approached quietly as the sun was below its horizon. Jenna waited for Trevor to finish the infusion and only left the hospital after reminding the nurses repeatedly.
As she returned to Richards Manor, all of the night lights in the mansion were turned on. It was the Lantern Festival that day and the lights in Richards Manor would be on all night. Looking from a distance, the garden was gleaming brightly and it seemed lavishly glorious.
Her car arrived in Green Jade Garden.
Suddenly, she heard a familiar chuckle ringing from nearby. Jenna couldn't help but stop in place as she looked over to where the laughter came from. She then saw the silhouette of a man and a woman cuddling together in the yard of Green Jade Garden. As the man lowered his head and seemed to be kissing the woman, she nudged him while giggling softly.
With just one glance, Jenna recognized who they were.
It was none other than Norton and Sabrina.
Jenna's heart skipped a beat.
After a brief hesitation, she approached them slowly.
Both of them were so focused on each other that even though Jenna made her footsteps heavier on purpose, they didn't notice her approaching.
