The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire
Chapter 1058 Trapped In The Hospital
Janet’s face flushed when she heard what Brandon had said. She pinched his arm and whispered, “Why would you say that in public?”
She was aware that Brandon trusted Frank with his life. However, she still did not expect he would talk to Frank about such a private thing.
Brandon, who was holding Janet by the wrist, handed her the phone and asked, “You started it, remember? By asking what we were talking about.” “I’m not interested.” Janet avoided Brandon’s gaze and Frank’s inquisitive eyes. Her face turned beet red, and her heart fluttered in her chest. “I’ll leave you two to it. I just remembered I need to return to the ward and pack up your things,” she added.
As soon as Janet left, Brandon put his phone back into his pocket.
“Janet doesn’t know about it yet? I thought you’d tell her.” Frank went back to his desk and began sorting out the remaining documents.
Meanwhile, Brandon went to close the door of his office. “I hope you can keep it a secret for me. She’s happy now. Don’t destroy her happiness because of me.”
He slumped on the sofa, rubbed the area between his eyebrows, and breathed a sigh of relief. “I’m glad I’ve regained my memory. She doesn’t have to worry about what happened before.”
Frank sat next to Brandon and smiled. “Janet is smarter than you think. Anyway, I can keep it a secret from her. But I don’t think you can hide the truth for long.”
“Don’t worry about it.” Brandon stood up, grabbed his coat, and turned around to leave. But before he could take a step, Frank spoke, making Brandon stop in his tracks.
“So Janet has been unable to conceive? Why don’t you go to the hospital and have yourself checked? Maybe there’s something wrong with your sperm. In that case, the sooner you find out, the earlier you can receive treatment.”
Brandon looked at Frank with a smile, but his eyes said otherwise. Suddenly, he let out a chuckle and said in a meaningful tone, “You do know you should worry about yourself first.”
Frank frowned and patted Brandon on the shoulder. “What do you mean?”
“Elizabeth has been calling Janet in the past few days to complain about you. Be careful. If my memory serves me right, your girlfriend has only been with you for about two weeks.”
A look of fear flashed across Frank’s face. Brandon, on the other hand, walked out with a smirk.
“God. I was only joking. You’re so boring.” Frank slammed the door shut and sat back in his seat, annoyed.
Brandon’s words echoed in Frank’s ears over and over again. He did not want to fall into Brandon’s trap, especially since the latter was good at manipulating people’s emotions.
It was true that Frank and Elizabeth had recently had a conflict. And now, he was more flustered when he found out that Elizabeth had been complaining about him to Janet. It seemed that it was time he had a serious talk with his girlfriend.
When Brandon returned to the ward, he saw Janet standing by the hospital bed. Without a word, he walked over to her and hugged her from behind.
Janet smiled shyly and continued folding the clothes on the bed. “I’ve packed the luggage and handed it over to Sean. He’ll comes back and take this last suitcase later. Then, we can go home.”
Sean, who had been busy hauling their stuff into the car, suddenly rushed into the ward with sweat dripping on his forehead. “Mr. and Mrs. Larson, I don’t think you should go out yet. There are a lot of people outside who seem to be newspaper reporters. They want to come in, but thankfully, they aren’t allowed to do so. They’re arguing with the nurses outside.”
Brandon’s face darkened. Just as he was about to go out to see the situation outside, Janet grabbed his wrist.
“Don’t. Let’s leave through the backdoor. It’ll be troublesome if you get photographed by them.” Janet looked at Sean and confusedly asked, “Brandon getting admitted to the hospital was a secret. People all believe he’s on a business trip abroad. Who could’ve spread the news?”
“Perhaps those reporters did not come for Mr. Larson. Apparently, there’s a celebrity who secretly came to the hospital early in the morning for a check-up and hasn’t gone out yet. The media must’ve heard about it, so they came to interview her,” Sean concluded.
