When | saw Shannon lying on the hospital bed, | asked with concern, "Is she feeling better?"
Jordan nodded. "She fell asleep after eating. Why don’t you stay with her for a while? | have sthings to take
care of."
After saying that, he stood up and grabbed his coat, ready to leave.
As the boss of a corporation, he had a myriad of affairs to attend to on a daily basis. Him spending so much time
to take care of Shannon had probably delayed a lot of work.
| reminded him to be safe on the road, and when he left, | sat on the chair at the edge o f the bed. | waited for
Shannon to wake up.
After almost half an hour later, Shannon woke up.

She seemed a little dazed. "When did you arrive, Wanda?"
"Not long ago."
Shannon wanted to sit up on the bed, so I quickly helped her up. "Do you feel unwell? Should I get the doctor?”
She shook her head, her gaze falling on the glass placed on the bedside table. "I want to drink swater."
| quickly grabbed the glass and fed her water while reminding her, "Take little sips."
When she was done drinking, 1 sat back down on the chair and asked somewhat suspiciously, "Why did you go
to the site alone? The road was so hard to tread on and full of mud. How could a clean freak like you go to a
place like that?"
Shannon looked atand said with a pale complexion, "Would you believeif | said that I didn't go there
myself?"
| immediately nodded my head. "Did you bump into someone you know?"
Shannon pursed her lips. "Not someone I'm familiar with, just someone | know. But | can’t remember who he is or
where | met him."
"What happened?"
After a moment of silence, she said, "I was picking fruits in the orchard yesterday, and someone was also picking
fruits near me. H e started a conversation first, and | thought he was a villager, so | started talking to him. Later,
he toldthat the fruits in the orchard weren't the sweetest. The sweetest ones were in an orchard not far
away, so he suggested takingthere to pick them up. | didn’t suspect much and followed him."
My nerves tensed up. "Did this person push you?"
Shannon nodded her head. "I still don't understand why he wanted to hurt me. It was only my second tat the
resort.
How could | have possibly offended him?"
| lowered my gaze to ponder. Could the burglary in the institute and Shannon being maliciously pushed into the

| did not know the answer to this question for now.
| looked at Shannon and asked, "Have you told Jordan about this?"
Shannon nodded. "He promised to
investigate it."
She continued after a pause, "Maybe because the resort is currently crowded, so it's easy for someone to set
eyes on a girl likewho was alone in the orchard."
She was not wrong, but it had only been a few days since the burglary in the institute when Shannon was pushed
into the base. It was unsettling to just think about it.
There was no conclusive result regarding the incident, so it was useless for Shannon andto talk about it.
Hence, we changed the subject.
At noon, Nina and the rest cto visit Shannon after hearing about the incident.
