Joie registered Brittany's displeasure but chose to ignore it. She walked to the side of the bed and said, "Brittany, we're friends. I heard you were in the hospital, so I came to see you."
"Your previous order might have to be delayed a bit."
Brittany cut Joie off, "I'm hospitalized now, so I can't finish the draft at the moment."
"Don't worry about it." Joie replied with a smile. The expensive bracelet on her wrist caught Brittany's attention.
"You and Mr. Salter?"
She couldn't help but think back to what had happened at the warehouse and began to question the nature of Joie's relationship with Mr. Salter.
Joie had been waiting for this question, "Mr. Salter and I are just friends for now."
Just friends for now?
Brittany immediately understood that this could change in the future.
Joie had been kidnapped, and Mr. Salter was the first to rush to her side. Clearly, they were not just ordinary friends.
Joie seemed to genuinely want to be friends with Brittany. She stayed in the hospital room for a few hours, all the while talking about how nice Mr. Salter had been to her.
Brittany was getting a headache from listening. She tried to hide her impatience and said, "Ms. Joie, I'm not feeling well right now; maybe…"
"I'll leave first, then."
Joie, having achieved her goal, took her leave. But at the door, she stopped and said, "Brittany, I'm sorry about what happened before. I hope we can still be friends in the future."
Brittany shut her eyes and didn't respond.
After Joie left, Brittany picked up her cellphone. The internet was buzzing with chatter, and she had become the target of public criticism.
But in the world of entertainment, scandals involving numerous celebrities were being exposed, and the public's focus shifted rapidly.
At five in the afternoon, Grace Salter came to the hospital. The doctor did a comprehensive checkup on Brittany and found that she was recovering well.
The baby in her belly was also stable.
Grace took Brittany's hand and said, "You're pregnant. This must be hard on you."
"It's okay."
Grace had always been kind to her, and Brittany didn't want her to worry.
"Have you been keeping up with your exercise even though you're not feeling well?"
