A bang sounded.
Rose’s glass dropped.
Her face turned pale.
Dr. Dylan…
The doctor who should have performed surgery on Jenifer was surnamed Dylan too.
That doctor left the country at night when Jenifer was in danger. She tried to stop him and almost died. Yet, she failed to stop him.
“Rose, what’s wrong?” Tameka was shocked. She sat next to Rose and/ held her hands. “Why does your hand feel so cold?”
Tameka touched her forehead. “Are you OK?”
“My mom is asking you questions.” Judson was cold. “Drop the act. Don’t try to make us pity you by doing so in this case.”
Tameka glared at him.
“Dr. Dylan? Brandon Dylan from the Sansen Hospital?” Rose stared at Lillian with a gloomy face.
Lillian shrank and couldn’t help leaning against Judson in fear.
Judson stretched out to put his arm behind her back.
He did that in front of everyone as if he would hug her.
“Is there another Dr. Dylan that is good enough to treat her
grandfather?” Judson answered the question on behalf of Lillian with cold eyes.
“I see.” Rose lowered her head, clenching her fists.
She stood up and smiled politely at Tameka. “Tameka, it’s late. I gotta go. Good night.”
“Rose…” Tameka grabbed her and wouldn’t let go. She looked worried. “Are you OK?”
“I’m fine.” Rose was gentle to her. “Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of myself.”
Then she pouted, turned around, and left resolutely.
Judson stood up at once and shouted, “Rose!”
How dare she leave in front of his mother?
But Darrin chased after her first. Hearing Judson’s shout, he turned around and looked into his eyes coldly.
“Jenifer’s attending doctor is Dr. Dylan too.”
“So what?” Judson asked with a cold face.
How could Darrin know a lot about Jenifer as an outsider?
Darrin sneered, “Now that you like Ms. Stewart so much and care
about her so much, why don’t you let her go? She and her family don’t owe you anything!”
Then Darrin ran after Rose.
Judson was mad and wanted to follow them.
“Stop.” Tameka suddenly said.
He looked back and saw her stand up.
“Tell me about Dr. Dylan.”
“Mrs. Roach, it is not his fault,” Lillian hurriedly explained. “My grandpa was in danger and he refused to be treated by foreign doctors… So I asked him for help…”
“Lillian, I know you are the most sensible girl. Don’t interrupt us. Thanks.” Tameka interrupted her with a smile.
Lillian didn’t dare to say anything.
Tameka wanted to say something, but a thought came to her mind. She looked back at Lillian with a smile.
Her kind smile made Lillian nervous, however. “Mrs. Roach…”
“Lillian, you knew Dr. Dylan was Jenifer’s attending doctor, right?”
“I didn’t. Later, I learned that. I felt bad about it and even found some doctors to treat Jenifer today. But Rose mistook that I wanted to hurt Jenifer. She hit me and almost pushed me downstairs…”
Lillian wanted to cry. “Judson knew it. I didn’t lie. I didn’t slander her. If she hadn’t hit me so hard, I wouldn’t have told you about the fight… I have to give up on my work tomorrow.”
Lillian thought that Tameka would take her side.
However, Tameka asked her to leave in a gentle tone.
“Lillian, go home and have a good rest before you go back to work. Don’t come to the Imperial Garden again. You know, this is not a good place to stay. It is not a good idea for you to stay here. Or your mom
will be mad at me.”
It sounded…
It sounded reasonable.
Tameka was Judson’s mother. Even though her words sounded a bit strange, Lillian wouldn’t dare to refuse.
Annoyed though, Lillian said goodbye to Judson and left with tears.
Tameka was expressionless when she left. After that, Tameka looked coolly at Judson and said to Isidro. “Take some people upstairs.”
She sat on the sofa on the second floor.
“Pack up all the belongings of Ms. Edwards.”
Judson entered with a dark face. “Mom, what are you doing?”
Tameka sighed. “I can’t keep her. Nor do I want to.”
“Mom…”
“Don’t tell me about Dr. Dylan. I am not interested.” Tameka crossed her hands and looked up. “No more Jenifer issues. It has nothing to do with me.”
“Mom…”
“Don’t mention any girls to me. None of them will be accepted by our family.”
Tameka patted her hands and stood up. “It’s hard to prevent others from trouble. I raised you up. From now on, I won’t interfere in your life.”
Before she left, she pointed at Isidro’s forehead. “You will lose your bonus if you leave anything here.”
***
Rose pulled her coat closer.
The wind was cold at night.
She felt the same way when she was driven away by the person outside the club at midnight and when she almost got killed in a car accident at the airport.
No wonder he asked his man to say that to her and refused to see her.
It was Judson who sent Jenifer’s attending doctor away.
He deprived Jenifer of the hope of life to flatter Lillian.
Lillian’s grandfather was being treated by the best doctors. But she still stole Jenifer’s attending doctor.
Rose squatted slowly with her arms around her knees.
Her tears dropped onto the ground.
She thought, “Sorry, it’s my fault…”
Lillian could steal Jenifer’s attending doctor and find experts to treat Jenifer.
She controlled the game.
But Judson was just a cold audience,
He awarded Rose when he was pleased.
But if Rose offended Lillian, he would punish her hard.
