Remarriage Failed Again Today-Chapter 152: A Small Anticipation

Annabelle Linton took the call, but her mood didn’t waver in the slightest upon hearing that Leona Grant had been in a car accident.

’In her heart, it wouldn’t have mattered to her even if Leona Grant had died.’

But she couldn’t say that to Roxanne Jennings.

Leona Grant was the pillar of the family, and with his grandfather still ill, the household would surely descend into chaos if something happened to him.

Besides, she didn’t want everyone to see her as a cold and heartless person.

Even though she truly didn’t care about his injuries.

Annabelle Linton raised an eyebrow and said with a sigh of resignation, "Fine, I’ll be right over."

...

「In the hospital room.」

Leona Grant sat on the hospital bed, working on his laptop with an expressionless face.

He was wearing a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing his powerful, tan forearms and an expensive gold watch.

Leona Grant stared at the computer with an indifferent expression, his fingers dancing across the keyboard. The minor scrapes on his face did nothing to diminish his handsome features.

If anything, they added a hint of roguish, untamable coolness to his look.

"I called Annabelle," Roxanne Jennings said lightly as she walked into the room, her eyes lingering on the scrapes on Leona Grant’s face for a moment.

The movement of his hands seemed to falter for an instant before resuming.

Leona Grant kept his eyes glued to the screen, his hands flying across the keyboard to type out a string of English. His expression remained cold. "Mm."

Roxanne Jennings saw his hands pause and a knowing smile spread across her face. "I told Annabelle you were in a car accident. She sounded very worried and is on her way now."

’Worried?’

Leona Grant’s hands stopped moving altogether. A moment later, he let out a cold sneer.

’Isn’t she getting along great with that so-called Aaron Wyatt?’

’Why would she be worried about me?’

’To laugh at my misfortune?!’

Leona Grant laughed sarcastically and said in a callous tone, "What did you call her here for? Don’t you know how much she annoys me?"

Roxanne Jennings shot him a look and said sternly, "Well, you were just in a car accident, weren’t you? If you weren’t so lucky, you could have had broken arms and legs right now."

"Isn’t Annabelle your wife? It’s only right that I called her. Besides, she’s a doctor at this hospital."

Because Annabelle Linton worked at this hospital, the Grant Family and even Annabelle herself usually avoided coming here for treatment to prevent any unnecessary complications for her professional image as a doctor.

However, of the two best hospitals in Lynton, one was where his grandfather was staying, and the other was this one.

Leona Grant had been unconscious after the accident, and his assistant, Chase, had brought him here, afraid of upsetting the old man.

When Leona Grant woke up, the doctor told him it was nothing serious and that he just needed to rest well.

He wanted to be discharged, but Roxanne Jennings wouldn’t allow it. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

So, he had no choice but to stay until now.

Leona Grant went back to staring at the quarterly financial data on his laptop, showing no emotional reaction to Roxanne’s words.

But as he stared at the data, he, who could usually immerse himself in work in an instant, found he couldn’t take in a single word.

A small flicker of anticipation had been kindled in his heart.

’Annabelle Linton, are you really worried about me?’

...

It was half an hour later when Annabelle Linton arrived at the hospital room.

Having not been to the hospital for a while, she felt a little dazed.

Many people greeted her along the way, so she had to stop and start repeatedly before finally reaching Leona Grant’s room.

She knocked and entered, raising an eyebrow at the sight of Leona Grant standing with his hands clasped behind his back, his own back facing the floor-to-ceiling window.

’Isn’t he perfectly fine?’

’They made it sound like such a huge deal. This is ridiculous.’
