Daddy Ceo's Beloved Wife [Book 2]

Chapter 314 - Silent Treatment

An hour later, the door to Jennie's hospital room was pushed open and Lisa walked in-in his three-piece suit, looking as handsome as she remembered. However, his hair that was usually combed back into a sleek and elegant style to expose his beautiful forehead was slightly disheveled and only gave him a rough image.

Not only that, the next city should have been a two hours drive but after the call, Lisa arrived in just an hour. It was evident just how fast he must have driven back to White City to see Jennie.

Adelle, who was sleeping on the couch against the wall, was momentarily confused and yawned while staring at the newcomer. However, her yawn stopped mid-action and her mouth made an 'O' shape as soon as she saw the big boss standing in front of her.

Quickly, the sleepiness that accumulated flew out of the window and Adelle hastened to shake the sleeping Jennie awake.

Just as her hand reached out to shake Jennie, the man, however, stopped her with a glance.

Adelle understood it in just one look. The Big boss wants to wake Jennie himself!

"The, then I'll leave you guys alone." Adelle guessed that between a couple, no one could interfere in their matters and so, she smartly left the room. "Ah--" But then, a scream was about to come out of her mouth when she saw three bodyguards in black suits standing in the corridor just before the door.

Looking like a fool who was startled to death, Adelle was about to cry. She thought that three Grim Reapers had arrived to take her soul away. Thankfully, Guo Yun had come around a corner and started to walk towards her in the hallway.

Guo Yun smiled at her. "You've worked hard, Miss Adelle."

Adelle shook her head. "Haha, I don't think I did anything."

It was the truth, everything was done by Jennie. All the planning and actions taken previously was done by Jennie. Adelle only did the follow-ups and did what Jennie ordered her to do.

Of course, she also did her job as Jennie's manager and handled everything that was expected of her to do. But Adelle didn't think it was enough and she wanted nothing but to improve in the future!

However, Guo Yun didn't think that Adelle didn't do anything at all. Jennie seemed to not trust anyone lately but this new manager she acquired earned a bit of her trust. It was already an amazing feat to have Jennie trust her and also work with her.

Inside the hospital room, Jennie did not know that someone had been standing next to the bed, looking down at her sleeping face and her chest going up and down rhythmically.

After seeing that she was really fine, Lisa slightly calmed down, but the madness that threatened to pour out when he heard from Guo Yun that the news about an actress having an accident was still swirling around his body like tendrils of black smoke.

He had just left for a day and after that, what he ended up hearing was Jennie getting into an accident. Who wouldn't be mad if you hear that the most important person in your life had an accident?

And even though Lisa had some confidence that nothing serious happened to her since Jennie was very careful, three years ago's incident still traumatized him a lot and he dared not delay more and left everything else just to see Jennie.

Thankfully, nothing really happened.

Lisa reached his hand out to caress her face when Jennie's eyes fluttered open.

Jennie blinked her eyes a few times before she uttered softly, "You... You've come?"

Lisa stared at her for two seconds before he nodded.

"What time is it? Did I sleep a bit too long?" Jennie asked while wanting to sit up but her shoulder was held down by Lisa. In the end, she had to lie down again.

Seeing no shadow of Adelle inside the room, Jennie asked him again, "Did you send Adelle outside?"

Adelle usually never leaves her side unless Jennie asked her to so it was surprising to see her not on the couch where she was sleeping earlier.

Lisa finally answered, "Yes. Is there a problem?"

Uh... what's wrong with his tone? Jennie felt that Lisa was a bit strange right now but seeing him looking slightly a bit different from his usual pristine self struck her naughty side again.

"Nothing. Adelle can stay outside then."

If her manager hears this, she might have tears in her eyes for a week. Sis, you're already abandoning me for a man!

Jennie opened her arms and asked for a hug from him. Usually, Lisa wouldn't waste this opportunity to let her hug him, but today was slightly different.

Lisa stood just half a meter away from Jennie and stared at her outstretched arms indifferently, making her feel curious why he was acting coldly around her.

"What's wrong?" Jennie couldn't help asking when he still didn't hug her, feeling slightly wronged.

Lisa, however, didn't say anything and poured a glass of water before handing it to her.

Jennie received it with both of her hands before taking a sip to wet her lips after sleeping a bit. After taking two small sips, she put the glass down on the bedside table and stared blinking at him.

Jennie couldn't understand why Lisa still didn't say anything after several minutes. When it was close to twenty minutes after this silent treatment, Jennie finally couldn't take it and acted pitiful in front of him.

"Hubby, are you really not going to talk to me?" She placed her chin on her hands and blinked at him adorably. Hearing no response from him, Jennie aggrievedly said, "Hubby doesn't love me anymore. He became a mute!"

"Don't talk nonsense." Lisa's tone was cold and he used one look to silence her.

Normally, this icy glance would render his employees and everyone else to keep their mouth shut and avoid him, but who told Jennie to become his wife and be so fearless that she acted as if she didn't sense the danger around him and even placed the back of her hand in front of her forehead and entered a dramatic phase.

"Ah, heaven still has pity on me. My husband's voice has returned finally."
