Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 957

Jane was lost in thought.

She had been feasted on by the media in the past, her entire life reduced to fodder for their business. Brandon had stood up for her every time. He had stayed right by her side, protecting her and helping her find a way out.

A faint smile curved on her lips as she said, "I know you meant well. But I can't just sit back and watch. Brandon is my husband, but I am not going to see Lydia as just his wife. I'm going there as a witness. It would be good if she listens to me, but I won't force her."

Tasha knew that Janet had already made up her mind, and no amount of persuasion would deter her from her decision. "Alright. You've already decided, so I'll just support you. Just do what you can. Remember, even if things don't go the way you had hoped, at least you've tried."

"I know." Janet felt warmth envelop her at her friend's encouragement. She was lucky to have such a good support system in her life.

Tasha's gaze swept over Janet's clothes. "Are you going there dressed like that?" she asked.

"I think so. Is there a problem?" Tasha walked inside the locker room and took out a delicate dress of light green color with a matching jacket.

"I keep this in the company as a backup in case of emergencies. Wear it. You wouldn't have time to go back home and change." Tasha handed the clothes to Janet and said gently, "Your clothes make you stand out too much. The colors are a bit too bold. Lydia had just lost her husband, so it would be better to wear something more muted."

Janet changed into the clothes and fix her make-up. When she was done, she had a simple but decent look.

"Leave off the perfume. Women who had just given birth could be sensitive to strong scents. You would want to give off a calm but friendly impression. I've done my research on this. A basic look would work best for that purpose," Tasha explained.

At lunch break, Janet arrived at the hospital holding a bouquet of lilies and a basket of fruits.

The VIP ward was empty.
