Jenna just drank a few sips of soup during dinner. She really didn't have much of an appetite.
Aria was also at home, and her appetite was not very good either. She had just eaten a little bit before she said she was uncomfortable and went to sit on the sofa and close her eyes to rest.
Marissa was very nervous with her, and came to take care of her. She asked Aria warmly, "Aria, your appetite has not been good recently, and your complexion looks bad too. Are you exhausted from work? Or, let Hansen accompany you tomorrow to the hospital and have a check to see if you are sick."
Aria smiled obediently at Marissa, and said shyly, "Mom, it's okay, it's nothing big. Maybe it's too cold these few days and I have the flu."
Marissa became more nervous when she heard that, and said sternly, "You are Mayor McAdams' s daughter. If something happens to you in Richards Manor, we will be blamed for not taking good care of you. Please let Hansen accompany you to the hospital tomorrow and see the doctor."
As she said this, Marissa immediately turned her head to Hansen and said, "Hansen, Aria looks very uncomfortable. Please take her to the hospital tomorrow."
Hansen's head was full of Jenna's pale face. Seeing that she was tired, he understood her feelings now too. He was going to accompany her to rest upstairs after dinner when Marissa said this, which made him frown.
What happened to Aria? He had planned to accompany Jenna to the hospital to visit Sara the next day.
After all, she had just finished the operation. The day before, the director of the hospital told him to find several imported medicines if he wanted to improve Sara's condition after the operation. Those kinds of medicines were difficult to get, so he was planning to figure out a way to do so the next day too.
So he said immediately, "Mom, I have something important to do tomorrow. Can you send Larry to accompany her?"
When Aria heard it, her nose sniffed. Tears welled up in her eyes again, but she soon put on a sweet smile, and said timidly to Marissa, "Mom, I'm still young and healthy. I'm really fine, so there's no need to bother Hansen since he is busy,"
Marissa heard Hansen's words and felt that he was too ignorant. He only cared about Jenna now and treated Aria very badly. Okay, that was fine, but now Aria was uncomfortable and yet he still did not want to accompany her to the hospital. If Mayor McAdams knew about it, he would be so heartbroken. Besides, if something happened to Aria in Richards Manor, they would surely be blamed.
Marissa raised her head and was about to stop Hansen, but she saw that he was already going upstairs, holding Jenna's hand. She could only shake her head and give a bitter smile. She comfort Aria, "Aria, if Hansen is busy, then forget it. Don't worry, I will go with you."
Aria widened her big eyes with tears and said thankfully, "Mom, thank you. You are so kind to me!" After speaking, she stood up and ran to Marissa and wrapped her arms around Marissa's neck then whispered sweetly, "Mom".
Marissa smiled brightly the next second.
The night was shrouded in unfathomable darkness.
"Paul, how is the case I entrusted to you?" Jenna picked up the phone while Hansen went to the shower, and asked in a low voice.
"Miss, this case is very tricky. We have not even acquired the proof and witnesses yet, so it is really difficult to find out. However, now I have found out that several groups of people are investigating this case. Someday, the truth will definitely come to light. Don't worry," Paul replied.
Several groups of people were investigating the case? Jenna was taken aback and asked anxiously, "Then do you know who it is?"
Paul was silent for a while, and he said, "Miss, there is good news right now. It is said that the Public Security Department has officially appointed Jordan Yates as the team leader to investigate your dad's case. You can have hope in him. It is said that this is all thanks to Hansen's efforts."
Hansen? When Jenna heard the name, her heart skipped a beat.
"Miss Murphy, according to my investigation, this case must have something to do with the Richards family. Hansen is currently actively investigating the case and has secretly engaged Brock. One of Hansen's men, Alvin, was injured. The gunshots in the Hilton Hotel a few days ago were related to this case too, so Miss Murphy, this case is too complicated, and my ability is limited. I am afraid that I can' t continue the investigation anymore," Paul said helplessly on the phone. Even though Jenna offered him a lot of money, he really didn't have the ability to do it.
Jenna was stunned for a moment. Paul was the most well-known private detective introduced to her by Hannah, and if he was powerless in investigating this case, one could only imagine how complicated the matter was.
"Miss Murphy, there are too many people involved in this case but with Mr. Hansen as your backing, I think the truth will definitely come to light one day. However, I advise you not to take everything seriously, and do not take any action without a second thought, as it will be very dangerous for you." Paul hung up the phone after giving her the final advice.
Jenna stood there in a trance. She did not notice it either when Hansen walked out of the shower.
"What are you thinking about?" Hansen walked out and saw that Jenna was standing there in a daze in the bedroom. His heart sank, then he asked softly.
After a long time, Jenna fixed her gaze on Hansen and asked, confused.
"Hansen, tell me, will my father's case ever be solved?" Her small face was full of expectation and grief, but her eyes were hollow.
Hansen's heart sank. After a while, he sighed lightly, then he took Jenna's hand and said softly, "Jenna, do you still remember my promise to you? I said I would give you an answer that satisfies you. No matter who hurt your dad, I will definitely see that he is severely punished by the law, but this matter is very complicated. It cannot be clearly solved in one or two sentences. Not to mention that the murderer is difficult to catch, so we need more time. Trust me, okay?"
His tone was gentle. His gaze at Jenna was doting, but his words were firm.
Jenna looked at Hansen's tender and considerate eyes and nodded uncontrollably.
"Remember, in the future, as long as you work and manage the Richards Group well, you are already saving me from those unnecessary worries. You can leave the rest to me. I am your man so I will handle all of it." After saying that, he took her into his arms. He stroked her hair and said earnestly, "Jenna, don't worry. I will do what I promised you. Just follow my plan in the future.
