When I saw Shannon lying on the hospital bed, I asked with concern, "Is she feeling better?"
Jordan nodded. "She fell asleep after eating. Why don’t you stay with her for a while? I have some things to take care of."
After saying that, he stood up and grabbed his coat, ready to leave.
As the boss of a corporation, he had a myriad of affairs to attend to on a daily basis. Him spending so much time to take care of Shannon had probably delayed a lot of work.
I reminded him to be safe on the road, and when he left, I sat on the chair at the edge o f the bed. I waited for Shannon to wake up.
After almost half an hour later, Shannon woke up.
She seemed a little dazed. "When did you arrive, Wanda?"
"Not long ago."
Shannon wanted to sit up on the bed, so I quickly helped her up. "Do you feel unwell? Should I get the doctor?”
She shook her head, her gaze falling on the glass placed on the bedside table. "I want to drink some water."
I quickly grabbed the glass and fed her water while reminding her, "Take little sips."
When she was done drinking, 1 sat back down on the chair and asked somewhat suspiciously, "Why did you go to the site alone? The road was so hard to tread on and full of mud. How could a clean freak like you go to a place like that?"
Shannon looked at me and said with a pale complexion, "Would you believe me if I said that I didn't go there myself?"
I immediately nodded my head. "Did you bump into someone you know?"
