Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 131: A Man in Love

The moment the words were spoken, they indeed caught Leon Grant’s attention.

"How do you know they’re a pair?"

"That’s because I pulled some strings!" Anton Kincaid winked at Leon Grant with great pride.

His father happened to be in charge of organizing this dance.

Serving the Chamber of Commerce would also help him get in the good graces of the new chairman.

When Anton learned that Jordan Holden had specifically requested a grand finale for Raine Sinclair, he couldn’t forget his friend.

But who would have known that when he excitedly brought the black knight mask, his friend wasn’t interested at all?

Without a second thought, he put the knight mask on his own face, "Some people don’t appreciate it, so I have to..."

Before finishing the sentence, he felt a gust of wind brush past his face!

His eyes involuntarily squinted.

When he opened them again, the mask was nowhere in sight?

It had already been snatched away by Leon Grant!

"Didn’t you say you didn’t want it?" Anton Kincaid scoffed, looking full of disdain.

Leon Grant seemed to have completely forgotten his earlier disdain for the mask. He put it on his own face and started admiring himself in the mirror.

"Tsk tsk! A man in love, truly a sight to behold!" Anton instinctively covered his small eyes.

Leon Grant never used to be this vain!

Regardless of gender, once someone falls in love, the transformation is as vast as heaven and earth!

Leon Grant paid no attention to what Anton said, carefully examining the mask in the mirror, imagining the moment he would meet Raine Sinclair with their matching masks!

How wonderful would that be?

Little did he know that the white feather princess mask was currently in Lily Sinclair’s hands.

Initially, her heart was filled with hesitation.

After all, she couldn’t compare to her cousin in anything. Could she really take her cousin’s place?

But...

This princess mask was so beautiful. Holding it in her hands, how could she bear to put it down?

The crucial point was, if she really could take her cousin’s place, then...

Would Leon Grant look at her differently?

Recalling how gentle Leon had been to her cousin at the hospital, her heart couldn’t help but leap with joy.

If... if Leon Grant could be just as gentle to her, wouldn’t that be wonderful!

Even if it were just once, she would feel that her life was worthwhile!

Lily Sinclair took a deep breath, finally resolving to put the white feather princess mask on her face.

Pretending to be her cousin, could she also experience a taste of her cousin’s happiness?

——

Raine Sinclair sneaked out of the hotel through the back door.

She had already changed into casual clothes, wearing a dark blue baseball cap.

The wide brim concealed most of her face.

It was night, and the passersby seemed in a hurry, no one noticed her.

She took a cab straight to the Hawthorne Group’s prestigious hospital, finding the floor where Jonas Hawthorne was.

This area was for VIPs, ordinary people couldn’t even get up here.

Fortunately, before she and Jonas Hawthorne divorced, she had been here before, her face recognized by the top-level staff, allowing her access without hindrance.

Taking advantage of the nurse’s shift change, she went to the break room, grabbed a white coat, and put on a pair of black-rimmed glasses. Even if she took off her cap, no one would notice her now.

After preparing everything, she carried a file from one ward to the next.

After passing about four or five rooms, she heard Candace Ford’s sobbing ahead.

"How did it come to this? Jonas, wake up! Open your eyes and look at me and the baby... sob, sob, you must wake up!"

On hearing this, Raine’s heart suddenly sank.

What was going on?

Could it be that Jonas Hawthorne’s condition was really serious?

Soon, she heard the doctor’s reply, "Ms. Ford, we’ll do our best to treat Mr. Hawthorne. He’s just in a coma; the chances of waking up are very good."

"Jonas, sob... if anything happens to you, what will the baby and I do!"

Candace cried sincerely.

First of all, she indeed had to act for the hospital staff to prove her deep affection for Jonas Hawthorne.

After all, when Jonas woke up and heard about this, he would surely be especially moved, right?

Secondly...

She had painstakingly gotten pregnant with Jonas Hawthorne’s child to secure future protection.

If Jonas really lost his life, could she inherit everything from the Hawthorne family with the child in the future?

It all depended on how resilient Mrs. Hawthorne was.

She also had someone add medication to Mrs. Hawthorne’s treatment, it was a gamble.

After crying for a bit, a nurse came over to support her, "Ms. Ford, please don’t cry, it’s not good for the baby."

"I..."

Candace didn’t resist, rising with the nurse’s support.

"Take Ms. Ford to the lounge downstairs," the doctor said.

Raine Sinclair quickly slipped into a room to hide.

Soon, she heard the sound of footsteps outside, along with Candace’s continuous sobbing.

After they walked away, Raine finally let out a sigh of relief.

She was just about to peek outside when a voice suddenly sounded behind her.

"Raine, what are you up to in that get-up?"

"..." Raine Sinclair was almost petrified on the spot.

It took her about two seconds to recover, turning her neck stiffly to look behind her.

When she had slipped in, it was a forced decision, and she hadn’t noticed who was in the room.

Who knew, turning back, she’d be met with an all-too-familiar face!

"Big brother?!"

Raine Sinclair exclaimed in surprise, darting over to him like a child.

His expression immediately showed concern, "Be careful! You should be more cautious now that you’re pregnant."

"Big brother!" Raine didn’t care about anything else, throwing herself into his arms!

This was her uncle’s son, John Franklin, a top student from the medical university, a truly renowned doctor.

John Franklin affectionately ruffled her hair, smiling, "Still the same as when you were a kid!"

"Hehe." Raine laughed, pulling away from his embrace, and noticed he was wearing a white coat like hers, which made her frown, "Big brother, why are you here? Could it be..."

Recalling what her grandfather had said earlier, that York Jennings had been dealing with Jonas Hawthorne continuously, was John Franklin here for the same reason?

She became more cautious, and with a serious face, she said, "Big brother, stop dealing with Jonas Hawthorne. Let’s go back."

John Franklin raised an eyebrow, gently brushing her nose, "Who told you I was here to deal with him?"

"Then what about this?"

"I’m here to check his injuries," John Franklin replied.

Raine was stunned, unable to guess what her brother was up to, "How come?"
