The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Chapter 503

“Honestly, I’m not really sure either. Maybe it was something I ate? But I simply had some coffee and a sandwich this morning. I didn’t have anything else,” Janet said, feeling something was a little off.

Ethan held her wrist and said, “And you usually don’t have stomach problems.”

“Yes, I seldom get stomachaches. Why did I all of a sudden have one today?” Janet felt this was a bit strange and joked, “Maybe it’s the city’s way of saying to me it hasn’t accepted me yet.”

Ethan smiled without saying anything, but his eyes noticeably darkened.

When Janet’s colleagues heard what happened, they all came over to visit her.

As soon as Rosa arrived at the hospital ward, she filled the room with her cheerful tone. “Girl! You were perfectly fine this morning. Why are you in the hospital right now? It appears you have a weak constitution. You should exercise more and eat healthier after you get out of here.”

Hearing her say that, Janet said with a smile on her face, “I will, but don’t you guys have to get back to work? You’re all here, aren’t you worried Mr. Wesley might get mad and fire you?”

She turned to look at Elizabeth, who was standing at the door, and smiled at her.

Rosa poked her in the arm and said, “Of course, all of us asked for leave before we came here.”

After having said that, she whispered in Janet’s ear, “You’re really popular, even Elizabeth has come here to see you. She never cared about anyone in the studio before, you know.”

Janet was greatly amused by her words. While laughing out loud, she snuck a glance over at Elizabeth.

She was standing there with a quiet and cold look on her face.

“Hey! I was just talking to you! Didn’t you hear what I said?” Rosa shook her finger in Janet’s direction, interrupting her train of thought.

“What is it? What did you say just now?” Janet wasn’t listening earlier.

Rosa’s eyes opened wide and she said word by word, “I told you to not worry about Milan. You’ll have another chance to go there in the future. Your health is the most important thing now.”

Janet didn’t mind it at all and she said, “Mr. Wesley has changed the flight tickets. That means I can still go.”

Rosa’s face paled slightly, but then, she defaulted to her normal expression. “Well, that’s very good.” Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

The two chatted for a long time in the ward. Rosa checked her watch and said, “l still have work to finish. I have to head back now, Janet.”

Janet waved her hand at her with a smile on her face.

Now, there was only Janet and Elizabeth left behind in the ward.

The air seemed to be frozen as the both of them kept quiet.

Clenching the quilt with her fingers, Janet was trying to come up with something to say when Elizabeth handed her a glass of water before she made her way out of the room.

Janet was startled as she blinked her eyes in a confused state.

She couldn’t wrap her mind around what it meant.

After a while, Janet caught sight of Elizabeth walking in again with some pills in her hand.

“The nurse outside asked me to give you this.” Elizabeth handed the pills to Janet and then left again.

Watching her receding back, Janet stared at the glass of water and the medicine she was holding in her hands.

“More pills?”

Ethan arrived with dinner right then. His face appeared to change when he saw the medication in Janet’s hand.

“Don’t take them right now.”
