Chapter 186
Jackson wasn’t surprised by the results of the bidding.
After he signed the contract, he left the auditorium and returned to the lounge where he’d left Taya. When he saw that Taya was still asleep, he frowned slightly.
He stepped forward and gently nudged Taya, only to find she had fallen into a deep sleep.
Jackson called her name a few more times, but she didn’t respond.
He had noticed that she could fall asleep quickly, but now he felt like something was wrong.
This felt like more than just a nap, she was sleeping so soundly.
He quickly took out his mobile phone and called Eric.
“Eric, do people with heart failure sleep more?”
Eric didn’t need to ask who Jackson was talking about.
“People with heart failure are more prone to exhaustion, yes.”
“What about not being able to wake them up?”
Eric wanted to tell him what was going on, but he also felt that
the young lady didn’t seem to want Jackson to know the truth.
“She must just be really tired. And some people sleep more soundly than others. It’s nothing serious. She’ll be fine when she wakes up.”
Eric hesitated for a few seconds, fighting the urge to tell his friend what was really happening. But if he divulged Taya’s medical information, he could lose his license.
Jackson heaved a sigh of relief when he heard what Eric said.
Taya had been busy accompanying him to banquets and biddings during the past two days, so that made sense that she was just a bit more over-exerted than normal.
Jackson hung up the phone and looked at Taya, sleeping on the
sofa.
He clearly remembered that he had put a coat on her before he left, but it was gone.
Looking around, he saw the edge of his jacket sleeve hanging out of the trash can.
What the hel l?
Did she really hat e him that much?
