34. 3 Can the Sky Collapse Could the Earth Sink?
The nurse thought she was asking about Jouvita’s condition and replied, “I just gave Jouvita a sedative
and now I have sent her back to ward 505 on the fourth floor.”
Alex went to the fourth floor and opened the ward door.
There were three beds in the ward, and only the innermost one had a woman lying on it. She was
sleeping soundly.
This woman was not someone he knew. His thick eyebrows furrowed.
Jessie treated the wound on her shoulder and forehead in the emergency room and carried the medicine
back to the ward.
Jessie pushed open the door and saw Alex inside. It was as if he had descended from the sky.
Alex wore a navy blue fur suit and his back was tall and straight. He had an unreachable noble bearing.
Alex turned around when he heard the door open.
Seeing his handsome and cold facial features, Jessie’s heart suddenly jumped wildly. Her voice became
somewhat different from hers, “Why is Boss Alex here?”
Alex’s cold gaze fell on the bandage on her forehead. The knot between her eyebrows was like a
mountain peak. He wanted to ask how the wound on Jessie’s head was done, but when he heard
Jessie’s question, He immediately felt unhappy in his heart. His tone was as if ice had been wrapped
around it. “Didn’t you call me because you wanted me to come here? Now you want to be alone and
quiet?”
“I didn’t…” Thinking about how her mother ran out with her phone just now, perhaps it was her mother
who called Alex. Jessie paused and her heart was filled with endless embarrassment. “Sorry, I called the
wrong number. You can go back.”
Alex’s tone became colder. “Call me in the middle of the night and now you are telling me that you called
the wrong number. Do you think this is very fun?”
Jessie replied, “I have already said that I am sorry. What else do you want me to do?” Jessie was
scolded by Alex and her heart was also ignited. Coupled with the pain from her wounds, Jessie could not
help but feel a little spoiled in front of him. Her temper also rose.
Alex’s thin lips were pursed into a straight line as he stared at her. The bottom of his eyes seemed to be
able to drip ink.
She sobbed a few times and retracted her gaze. She walked past him and prepared to walk inside.
Jessie suddenly felt her wrist tighten.
The hand Alex pulled was precisely the hand that injured her shoulder.
Instantly, the wound seemed to have been torn open. The pain caused her to grimace in pain, and she
couldn’t help but cry out in pain.
“Your hand is injured as well?” Alex loosened his grip on her hand. He didn’t know where the pain in his
heart came from, and his tone became even worse, “How old are you? You hurt yourself like this, and
you still have the face to lose your temper!”
“I didn’t lose my temper!” She could not get rid of his hand, and her beautiful almond eyes turned red.
Just now, in order to treat the wound on her shoulder, she took off her coat. At this moment, she was
only wearing a yellow t-shirt and white jeans. She had a very low ponytail, which was a little messy next

to her fair little face. Her clear eyes were filled with sparkling tears. She did not look like a mature woman
who had experienced marriage at all. Instead, she looked like a pure and innocent university student,
which made one’s heart ache.
He didn’t have any reason to be so soft-hearted. He held her horizontally with his hands.
“What are you doing? Put me down!” Jessie’s small face was flushed red. She was afraid of waking her
mother, so she lowered her voice. Her shoulders hurt and her forehead hurt, so
she could not make a big noise.
Alex carried her to a bed in the middle and gently put her down. He took the medicine bag from her hand
and placed it on the bedside table.
Seeing the woman beside him, Alex remembered what the nurse said just now. He whispered to Jessie,
“Your family?”
Jessie did not look at him. After a moment of silence, she replied, “My mother.”
An ordinary person did not need a sedative. Alex took a look at Jouvita’s medical record card at the end
of the bed and did not ask anything else. He got up and left.
Seeing his tall figure disappear into the door, Jessie’s heart could not help but feel a slight
sense of loss.
The next morning, Jessie was calling the company to ask for leave. The sound of footsteps came from
the door of the ward.
Immediately after, a group of doctors and nurses in white coats walked in.
Jessie walked over and asked, “You are?”
A middle-aged man wearing glasses walked forward and said, “Miss Jessie, I am the director o f this
hospital. My name is Carlos. This is Dr. Zack, the most authoritative intracranial medical specialist in the
country that Boss Alex arranged. Dr. Zack wants to know the specific situation of your mother’s body.
Please tell us in detail. This will help us to determine the treatment plan. Also, this is the external injury
specialist, Director Lisson. If you feel any
discomfort, feel free to look for him.”
It turned out that Alex left in such a hurry to arrange a doctor for Jessie and her mother.
Jessie could not tell why her heart was beating so strangely at that moment.
At this moment, she did not have the time to think about it.
After Jessie explained the situation of her mother for so many years to them in detail, they immediately
arranged the operating room and pushed Jouvita to do a detailed examination
Jessie waited in the corridor. There was also a professional Special Nurse beside her, who was also
arranged by Alex.
Jessie’s phone rang.
She took it out and saw the number. Her heart surged again.
Jessie pressed the button to answer the call and pasted it beside her ear, “Hello.”
“It’s me…” Alex’s deep and magnetic voice became more and more sexy and pleasant through the
phone.
Jessie’s heart trembled and she whispered, “Thank you. I know, my mother has been like this for many
years. Actually, I don’t want to trouble you.”
Jessie was very grateful that Alex helped her like this, but she felt very sorry in her heart.
The person she least wanted to trouble was also him.
The more Alex knew about her embarrassment, the more she felt that she was compared to him. It was
like Alex was in the sky, she was underground, and it was a swamp that couldn’t b e covered in mud.
This was the difference between heaven and earth, right?
Alex was far more unreachable than Mike.
In the past, because Jouvita came to R City, she fell ill in front of Mike and Linda. Later, Linda even
forced Jessie to cut off relations with her family.
Alex was busy. He called to ask about Jessie’s situation. An injured woman was guarding Jouvita. No
matter how he thought about it, he could not feel at ease. In the end, before he could say anything, she
said, “No need to trouble.” It seemed that he had done something unnecessary.
His tone suddenly became cold: “If you don’t want to trouble me, why did you call me?”
Jessie was unable to speak due to his questioning. Her lips trembled a few times. She wanted to say that
she did not mean what he thought, but the phone had already been hung up.
Sally heard that Jouvita was currently in the hospital and immediately took a leave of absence to bring
big and small bags of nutritional supplements to the hospital.
Sally asked, “How is Auntie?”
Jessie said, “Doctor Zack prescribed a kind of good medicine that can suppress the illness. It should be
better than before.” In the past, when Jessie had just started earning money, she had already taken her
mother to several places to check. She knew that this kind of illness could not be completely cured, so
when Dr. Zack gave the results that could o inhibit the illness, she did not feel surprised.
Sally walked to the bedside and looked at Jouvita for a while before asking softly, “When will Auntie wake
up?”
Jessie replied, “They said that she should wake up in the afternoon.”
“This ward, Special Nurse, and the experts were all arranged by Boss Alex?” Sally looked at the
luxurious single ward and immediately guessed.
Jessie tacitly agreed.
“Looks like the Laurent family does not only have those two little fellows relying on you.” Sally gave a
meaningful sigh, “Will Alex be annoyed with taking care of the two children by himself? It was not easy
for him to meet someone like you who is compatible with the children and wants you to be the child’s
stepmother and serve the two children.”
After Alex finished his meeting, he returned to his office.
When the assistant of the secretary saw him return, she immediately stood up and said respectfully,
“Boss Alex, Elder Rudolf, Young Master Felix, and Young Miss Fia are waiting for you in your office.”
Alex nodded and walked to the door. He paused and called Rick over. “Call me out for a meeting in ten
minutes.”
“Meeting?” Rick remembered that there was no meeting in ten minutes.
“An emergency meeting!” After instructing, Alex pushed open the office door and entered.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRick thought for a moment and understood.
“Dad.” Felix and Fia were recently grounded by Alex and were not allowed to go and find Jessie. They
were also not allowed to call her. After school or on holidays, there were grandparents following them.
They had accumulated a mountain of emotions about Alex in their hearts, so they were very unwilling to
call him dad.
Originally, their grandfather and grandmother also wanted to go with them to find Aunt Jeje, but Alex said
that if they brought grandfather and grandmother to see Aunt Jeje, she would not be willing to see them
again in the future, so they did not dare to take grandfather and grandmother to find Aunt Jeje.
Even though Fia did not understand why they brought her grandfather and grandmother to see Aunt
Jeje, Aunt Jeje would not be happy.
“Dad, your health is not good. Why did you bring the two of them here?” Alex knew that the
two little fellows had a lot of opinions about him. He did not pay attention to them and greeted Rudolf.
When Rudolf saw Alex come in, he hurriedly put down the strong and fragrant coffee in his hand. He put
on a bitter face and said, “My body is so weak. Do you think I’m willing to come here? It’s because you
are unfilial. I’ve asked you to come back many times, but you refused t o come back. I don’t know how
long I can live. Although I’m sick, If I don’t come and see you again, I’m afraid I won’t be able to see you
in my lifetime!”
Alex said, “You curse yourself like this all the time. Don’t let the heavens take you in.”
Before Alex finished speaking, the tissue box on the coffee table smashed over.
In front of the child, Alex was smashed by Rudolf with something. Alex lost his face. He took the tissue
box and threw it on the desk. “Okay, okay, okay. You have lived for tens of thousands of years. If you like
the coffee here, I’ll get my assistant to pour you another cup. I have an emergency meeting later. Felix,
Fia, keep your grandfather company!”
Alex went to the desk and changed a document, then turned around and left.
“I haven’t finished speaking, what are you in a hurry for!” Rudolf saw that he was in a hurry and couldn’t
help but get angry, “That girl from the Winston family is waiting at home now. Even if it is an important
meeting, you have to cancel it now, and then go back with us for a blind date!”
When Felix and Fia saw their father’s expression, they felt a wave of schadenfreude in their
hearts.
“Dad, this meeting is very important.” Alex frowned.
Rudolf stared at him. “Will the sky collapse if it is not opened? Will the ground sink?”
“Dad…”
The father and son were in a stalemate.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Rick pushed the door open and entered. He felt the low pressure inside and quickly said as if he was
performing a crosstalk: “Boss Alex, the meeting is ready. We are just waiting for you.”
“Dad, you see, I am not lying to you, right?” Alex looked helpless. “I am really busy. How about this? I will
finish this important project at hand and make an appointment with Miss Monica at a suitable time,
okay?”
Rudolf only believed Rick when he saw that Rick was speaking very seriously. He snorted and said,
“Your mom said that she will let that girl from the Winston Family stay at home until you come back and
meet her. If you want to delay the blind date, then let her stay in your Mountain and River Residence!”
Alex didn’t know what to say.
