Chapter 209 How Much Did the Reece Family Get?
Phoebe was momentarily stunned. “You mean…”
“Gigi is now a patient in the hospital. It’s not like she’s in prison. If I follow visiting procedures and register, it should be fine, right?” Jean asked seriously. “It’s fine, but you need to ask for the patient or their family’s consent.”
Jean smiled. “Take me to see Dr. Wallace. The Reeces will allow me to visit.” Phoebe was baffled but she trusted Jean and decided to take her to Dr. Wallace’s office. In fact, Dr. Wallace was deeply worried at the time.
It was because there was a huge disparity in the results from Gigi’s past few check-ups, although it probably had something to do with their vigorous therapy plan.
But now, what Dr. Wallace was most apprehensive about was that maybe Gigi didn’t have any mental issues from the start!
“At which stage did the problem appear?” Thinking about the pressure from the hospital director and Edgar, he broke out in a cold sweat from the panic.
Knock knock.
“Who’s there?” Dr. Wallace cried out at the top of his voice.
“Dr. Wallace, this lady says she’s a friend of Ms. Reece. She’s gotten the family’s consent and she wants to visit Gigi.” Phoebe brought Jean into the office.
“Who in the Reece family gave their consent?” Dr. Wallace had an annoyed expression.
Why was it about Gigi again!
The corner of Jean’s lips twitched. “Gigi’s mother, Winnie. She gave me consent to come.”
A few minutes later, Jean opened the door of Gigi’s hospital room.
As soon as she went in, she smelt a strong smell of disinfectant.
“Dr. Wallace, hasn’t too much disinfectant been used here?” Jean looked around as though she was looking for something.
Dr. Wallace thought that Jean was worried about how the over usage of disinfectant would affect the patient’s health, so he immediately explained. “Everything is according to the hospital’s standards. If the patient’s family thinks that too much is used, we can…”
“Too much?”
Jean turned her head sideways as she laughed and said, “No, I don’t think it’s enough.”
She looked at the tightly shut hospital room door ahead. “Gigi’s inside, right?”
Looking at her smile, Dr. Wallace felt that there was a deeper meaning.
But Jean was polite, and her actions were graceful, so he didn’t say anything more. “Go ahead, Ms. Eyer.”
The weird thing was that after Jean went in, he felt that he had heard her name before. It was extremely familiar, but he couldn’t recall it at the time.
“Everyone else, go to the office. Phoebe, stay at the door and keep guard. Don’t let Ms. Reece feel agitated.”
“Don’t worry, Dr. Wallace. I will definitely keep watch.” The corner of Phoebe’s lips twitched. The smile beneath her mask was bright and harmless.
In the hospital room, Jean’s footsteps were light.
Seeing Gigi sleeping soundly on the bed, Jean smiled lightly. She took out a small bottle from her bag and placed it on the table.
Perhaps Gigi felt someone’s stare on her, so she woke up shortly.
When she clearly saw who was sitting in front of her, Gigi immediately let out a scream that pierced the skies. “You witch; I will kill you!”
If it wasn’t for Jean threatening and scheming against her, she wouldn’t be suffering in here. Furthermore, she didn’t need to go out to know how those on the outside were talking about her.
Gigi had signed contracts for a few advertisements, but it had all fizzled. She didn’t know if she could catch up to the role Director Lewis had promised to give her.
Jean caught Gigi’s eye and smiled lightly. “Don’t do anything illegal, Ms. Reece. It’s not good for you or the child.”
The child!
Hearing Jean say those two words, Gigi shivered all over and covered her lower abdomen tightly.
“Get away from me… Help! Is there anyone outside?”
But Phoebe was the one keeping guard outside.
Gigi called out to the heavens and the earth, but neither responded.
She could only watch as Jean walked to her one step at a time.
“What in the world are you going to do…” Gigi was angry and afraid at the same time. She showed a variety of expressions.
Seeing how panicked she was, the smile on Jean’s lips deepened. “As I mentioned previously, I’m here to visit you. You have mental problems. Of course, I have to show you how much I care for you.”
Gigi held on to a corner of the covers tightly.
She pressed the call button at the nurse’s station with force.
Jean furrowed her brow and looked at Gigi. “After all, I personally sent you here.”
Everything Jean said gave Gigi anxiety, and she was about to cry.
The nurses didn’t allow her to use her cell phone, so she didn’t know what was going on outside for the past few days. Hearing what Jean said, the last string that was wound tightly in her heart snapped.
“If I were you, I wouldn’t ask such a dumb question.”
Jean took out the small bottles she brought. There were three in total. She placed it in front of Gigi.
“What are those?” Gigi stared straight at her.
“Don’t worry, it isn’t poison. These are just some chemical drugs that will react with the disinfectant in this hospital room. It will produce a gas that will make it hard to breathe and become cancerous to the lungs.”
At that point, Gigi covered her mouth and backed away repeatedly.
“You crazy person! If you hurt me, you can never escape!”
She could forget about using such excuses to intimidate Jean.
It didn’t work at all. In fact, the smile between Jean’s lips deepened. “Escape? I never thought about escaping. I’m staying alive so that I can get my revenge on Edgar. It’s unfortunate that you’re his fiancée.”
Gigi’s expression swayed and she blurted out, “We’re not married yet nor have we registered our marriage! If you want revenge, look for him. Don’t look for me. I’m innocent.”
Jean never thought that Gigi would change her tone so quickly.
“Really? I thought that you loved Edgar a lot.”
Jean played with the bottles in her hands. The moonlight showcased a feminine beauty in her beautiful cheeks.
When she looked up, her eyes were cold.
“It’s a shame that your acting skills are so bad and filled with flaws.”
She acted like she was about to open the bottles. Gigi was so frightened she screamed and pleaded, “Please don’t, I beg you!”
Ever since Gigi was locked on the balcony, and then sent to the psychiatric ward, the hate that Gigi felt toward Jean had only increased. Gigi believed that Jean wasn’t just speaking without thinking. She would do anything for revenge.
Because of that, Gigi didn’t doubt what was inside the bottles.
“Whatever you want, I’ll try my best to give it to you. Just don’t hurt me.” At this point, Gigi was like a lamb led to slaughter as she cried and shouted.
Jean’s actions stopped abruptly.
“Are you sure?”
Gigi straightened up and nodded furiously.
“I will do anything you ask as long as you don’t hurt me, or the child in me.”
She was terrified of Jean.
“Then answer three of my questions. If you answer them correctly, I’ll consider letting you go for the time being.” Jean said as she sat on the couch.
She didn’t have much time.
During this time, the Reece family would have gotten news of her visiting Gigi.
Jean’s face was not betrayed by her thoughts or intentions. She smiled and looked at Gigi.
“Go ahead.” Gigi looked down. Her voice was dull and filled with fear.
“After Eyer Group got into trouble, how much did the Reece family get?”
