Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap -
Chapter 756 You Look Good in This Suit
Hearing her familiar voice, Theresa rubbed her eyes. She squinted her eyes and looked at the time. It was three o'clock at midnight. "Lola..."
"Um, did I wake you up?" Dolores said softly.
Dolores pondered for a moment and said, "Armand had a meal here last night. Boyce and Jasmine had got their marriage certificate. We were all quite happy, so we drank some wine. But, we didn't know he didn't get a chauffeur..."
"Did he have an accident?" Theresa instantly felt wide awake, "How is he now?"
"I'm not sure. It seems quite serious. Matthew and Boyce have gone over. I'm not feeling well so I didn't go over. It's better that you come back to visit him. He has no family members around him and Mrs. Bernie is his only relative and she is very old."
"Okay," Theresa said without hesitation.
"Then you also don't be too rushed. We can handle the problem here." Dolores reminded her as if she was afraid that something bad might happen if she was too anxious.
Theresa said that she knew.
After hanging up the call, Dolores couldn't fall asleep.
She felt apprehensive as she was afraid that something bad might happen to Armand.
Later, Jessica came. Dolores asked her to sleep but she said that she couldn't fall asleep after being awakened and she wanted to accompany her.
Jessica deliberately talked to her so that she wouldn't think too much about the mishap.
Dolores said, "She has grown up."
"Yes. I still remember the time when they were born. They were so small. In a blink of an eye, you have your third child." Jessica lamented how quickly time passed.
Dolores smiled. Time flew and she had never thought that she would be like this.
She had her children around her. Her husband was not only good-looking but also rich.
As they were chatting, the time passed and it was very late already. Jessica fell asleep on the side of the bed. Dolores covered a thin blanket on her as she was afraid that she would catch a cold as the air conditioner in the room was turned on.
Theresa booked the earliest flight and it was Oscar who came to send her, "Why are you so urgent? It is early in the morning. You are so rush to go and didn't even have your breakfast."
Theresa didn't bring anything and only carried a bag with her, "Armand had a car accident."
Oscar said, "Oh, I see. Is he trying to deceive you for your sympathy and hope that you will be softhearted?"
Theresa shook his head, "I don't think so. It was Lola who called me at midnight. I feel that she is also very worried and she doesn't look like she is deceiving me."
Oscar waved his hand, "I just simply said it but you take it very seriously. Go back to take care of him. I can settle the things here. No worries."
Kevin had come to City C. He was in charge of the textile factory. The business of the clothing stores had become stable and there were producers and designers working in the store. The business wouldn't be affected if a person was absent for a while.
Theresa said, "Thanks, Oscar."
During these times which she spent with Oscar, she was very happy and she felt relaxed being with him.
Oscar waved her hand at him, "It's almost time to board the plane. Faster go in."
Theresa waved her hand at him.
Theresa arrived at City B nearly at noon.
She hurriedly rushed to the hospital. Armand had already been admitted to the ward. His face was pale and he was still in a coma.
Theresa stood in front of the hospital bed. She was still wondering if he did it on purpose. After all, there was nothing he won't do.
But now it didn't seem to be like that.
"What did the doctor say?" Theresa asked.
Boyce said, "Not sure. The doctor said that he has to examine his situation after he wakes up."
Theresa nodded her head.
"Then you stay with him. I will go out first." Boyce said.
"Boyce, you didn't sleep all night right. Go back to rest. I will stay with him." Theresa said.
Boyce said, "That's fine. I'll come over later to replace you to take care of him."
Theresa replied to him, "Okay. Then, I may need your help for the following matter."
Armand was the one who caused the accident, and he could claim from the insurance company for the fees to be paid to the victim. He needed to negotiate with the victim now.
Boyce said, "You don't have to worry about this. I will settle this matter. He has a lot of lawyers in his firm. The victim also doesn't dare to extort him."
Theresa nodded her head.
Boyce closed the door when he left.
Theresa sat on a chair by the bed. She felt that Armand had lost a lot of weight after a short while.
They didn't contact each other during these days.
She knew that Armand had not yet convinced Elizabeth.
He himself didn't care but Elizabeth cared about his matter a lot.
He must feel upset to be in such a situation.
Theresa faintly sighed and got up to pour a glass of water for Armand to rub his lips. His lips were cracked as his lips stayed dry for a long time. His hair was messy and there were stains of blood that had not been wiped clean.
She reached out to hold his hand and whispered, "Armand, please wake up."
He must not suffer from something bad for the sake of Elizabeth as well as Theresa.
Armand who was lying on the bed didn't move.
It seemed like he was not waking up either.
Boyce didn't sleep all night. He was having dark circles and he looked quite tired.
He returned to his residence and opened the door. He was used to being the only one at home.
Jasmine stood in the living room when she heard the commotion.
Boyce walked in and saw her standing door, "Didn't you go to school today?"
"I have no class today." Jasmine was dressed neatly, "I wanted to go to replace you initially."
Boyce said, "No need. Theresa is with him."
"Have you had your lunch?" Jasmine asked.
"No," Boyce said.
"I will go and cook something for you. Do you want to sleep for a while first?" Jasmine could see that he looked slightly tired. Boyce said, "I still have to go to the police station. You cook something first. I will take a shower so that I will become fresh." Jasmine was upset seeing him being so tired.
"Can't you take a leave to rest at home today?" Jasmine said.
Boyce said, "No, I still have to attend a meeting this afternoon." He pulled his collar and undressed his shirt as he walked into the bathroom. Jasmine looked at him and went to the kitchen to make something for him to eat.
Jasmine wasn't sure if he was in a hurry to leave so she cooked some dumplings which she made last time and kept inside the freezer.
She peeled the garlic to make garlic paste and poured some balsamic vinegar into a bowl. After Boyce finished his shower, he wore a handsome uniform and looked elegant and valiant. His look in uniform was
very charming. Jasmine looked like she was obsessed with his handsome look and she only regained her consciousness when Boyce walked over. She quickly said, "Wait outside. It's almost ready."
She put the bowls of garlic paste and balsamic vinegar on the table. Then, she took the dumplings out of the pot and put them on a plate before serving it.
Boyce pulled out the chair at the table, "Eat some too."
Jasmine who sat at the opposite said, "You eat first. I'm not hungry yet."
Boyce also didn't eat breakfast. It was now noon and he was really hungry. He picked up a dumpling using a chopstick and ate it after putting the dumpling in the vinegar.
It was quite hot and he didn't chew carefully before swallowing it.
Jasmine went to get a cup of water for him, "Eat slowly."
Boyce said, "It's so delicious."
Jasmine looked at him while propping her chin in her palm. She asked him, "How is Armand's injury?"
"It's not life-threatening," Boyce said.
Jasmine felt that a weight had been lifted off her mind, "That's good. He didn't suffer any physical injuries, right?"
She knew that a lot of people had suffered physical disabilities after having car accidents.
Boyce said, "No."
Jasmine nodded her head.
After finishing the meal, Boyce drank some water and stood up while saying, "I'm leaving now."
Jasmine walked over, "Wait a minute."
Boyce stood still and looked at her.
Jasmine walked towards him and reached out to tidy up the collar of his uniform, "You look good in this suit."
"Am I only looking good in this suit?"
Jasmine smiled, "You always look good."
Boyce stretched out his arm around her and hugged her while stroking her hair, "Bye."
Jasmine nodded her head.
When Boyce arrived at the police station, he was called by the subordinates of Officer Miller.
He walked into the office of Officer Miller and saw that his desk had been emptied.
Boyce asked, "Officer Miller, why..."
