Stop Panicking! Miss Jacobs will Not Look Back!-Chapter 282: This Looks Just Like They’re About to Divorce
The door to the hospital room opened, and even Mrs. Sinclair and Florence Sinclair standing outside were stunned.
Isabelle Sinclair seized the opportunity, broke free from the police, and rushed into the patient room.
"Elias, you must have heard my cries for help, right? You must..."
Before she finished speaking, she realized that Elias Langley was still unconscious.
But this man was her last hope; she had to wake him up to save herself.
So, she recklessly threw herself towards Elias Langley’s hospital bed.
Raine Kane stepped forward, causing her to fall to the ground empty-handed.
"Third Miss Sinclair, please have some respect."
Her hope was blocked. Isabelle Sinclair, disregarding all shame, turned her anger towards Juliana Jacobs, who was leaning on another hospital bed.
She directed all her fear and insane hatred towards her.
"It was you! You malicious woman, you wanted me dead. The kidnapping was clearly your orchestration to frame me, hurting Elias like this, are you satisfied?"
Juliana Jacobs was unfazed by her words, not even bothering to say a word in return, and instead picked up Elias Langley’s phone and lightly touched it.
A familiar panicked voice immediately came out from the phone.
"...it was I who hired you! I’ve already paid half the money. We agreed it was just a show, to pin the kidnapping charge on Juliana. Are you double-crossing me now?"
It was indeed Isabelle Sinclair’s own voice.
The color drained instantly from Isabelle Sinclair’s face.
She hadn’t expected that the real-time transmission device on Juliana’s inconspicuous hairpin was directly connected to Elias Langley’s phone.
This explained why, after the incident, Elias Langley was able to so accurately and quickly locate her position.
He had heard everything from the beginning.
"No, that’s not my voice. Juliana used AI to synthesize it to frame me!"
Isabelle Sinclair went limp, slumped on the ground.
It’s over, her life was over.
Mrs. Sinclair closed her eyes, the last glimmer of hope on her face disappearing entirely. When she opened them again, they were filled with determination.
She instructed Susan, "Contact Attorney Holt, and cancel my adoption relationship with Isabelle Sinclair. And in my name, issue a statement that from today, the Sinclair Family will sever all ties with Isabelle Sinclair."
"Mom, you can’t do this to me, Mom..."
Isabelle Sinclair completely broke down. She frantically tried to stand up to run towards Mrs. Sinclair, but the police subdued her with greater force.
The once arrogant and spoiled face now was left with nothing but tears and despair.
In the end, she was forcibly taken away.
Standing behind Mrs. Sinclair, Florence Sinclair, who had remained silent, dug her nails into her palms.
She feared that in an extreme breakdown, Isabelle Sinclair would indiscriminately implicate her, making her heart race with anxiety.
Fortunately, she had advised Isabelle Sinclair beforehand, in case of failure, never to involve her. Only if she remained outside could she find a way to save her.
Although impulsive, Isabelle Sinclair was smart enough not to cut off her last retreat.
So, until she was taken away, Florence Sinclair breathed a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Sinclair didn’t notice her. After instructing Susan, she turned to look at Juliana in the hospital room.
As she was about to take a step forward, Raine Kane stood at the door.
"Mrs. Sinclair, Mr. Langley hasn’t woken up yet. When he does, I will notify your assistant."
In fact, Mrs. Sinclair not only wanted to see Elias Langley, she also wanted to see Juliana.
But Juliana was already leaning against the bed with her eyes closed, seemingly not needing a bit of her concern.
Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, Mrs. Sinclair said, "Alright, notify me when Elias wakes up, I will come to see them then."
After saying that, she left with Susan.
As soon as Mrs. Sinclair left, the sickly look faded from Juliana’s face.
She got out of bed, and a wave of dizziness almost caused her to stumble.
Raine Kane quickly supported her.
"Your concussion hasn’t healed, be careful. Mr. Langley mainly has severe injuries on his back, but it’s less serious than the wounds he’s had during missions before, so he’s fine, don’t worry."
Juliana put on her slippers, walked to Elias Langley’s bedside, and examined the wounds on his back, asking, "Then why isn’t he awake yet?"
Well, waking up depends on his mood.
"Juliana, don’t you hate Mr. Langley for choosing Isabelle?"
Juliana quietly looked at the unconscious man, pursed her lips, and replied, "Of course I hate him, I’ll remember it for the rest of my life."
Elias Langley’s eyelids twitched.
Raine Kane secretly broke into a sweat for him.
"Actually, Mr. Langley’s intention might be that on one hand, he was confident he could save you, and on the other, that he wanted Isabelle to face a fair trial. You see, now Mrs. Sinclair is completely disappointed in her, and she has to face jail time. Isn’t living worse than dying for her now?"
Juliana turned her gaze towards her, "Even with assurance, it was still a gamble! Would you bet something you value more than life?"
Raine Kane couldn’t answer, scratching her head.
"Uh... I’ll go ask the doctor why Mr. Langley hasn’t woken up yet."
Having said that, she quickly ran out of the patient room.
Here, the patient room suddenly fell into silence.
Several minutes passed before Elias Langley couldn’t help but slowly open his eyes to find Juliana looking at him.
"Was it fun?" Juliana asked.
Elias Langley’s heart tightened, he forced a smile, "Can’t deceive you even a bit."
He tried to get up, but as soon as he moved, the pain from the stitches on his back made him wince.
Juliana frowned and pressed him back down.
"Haven’t you suffered more serious injuries during missions? Can’t bear a little pain?"
Elias Langley lay back down.
"Not fearing injury on a mission is courage, feeling pain is instinct."
Juliana released him and sat back on her own bed.
"So your weighing of pros and cons is also instinct. By keeping Isabelle, you’d account to Mrs. Sinclair, stay with me through life and death, and also show true love for me, it’s simply the perfect choice, right?"
"Is that what you think?" Elias Langley turned his head to look at her.
Juliana looked at her own slippers, "What I think doesn’t matter. When you were defusing the bomb, everything I said was serious, anyway... it’s all over."
Because of her words, Elias Langley shot up from his bed.
"What’s over? Explain it clearly!"
At that moment, Raine Kane knocked on the door, bringing the doctor in.
Seeing him sitting up, the doctor quickly went over to check.
"Mr. Langley, how could you get up? Your back is bleeding again. Forget about wanting to be discharged tomorrow, you won’t be out in a week at this rate, quickly lie back down."
Unwillingly, Elias Langley lay back down, the wound tore at the bandage, and the pain made him wince again, but Juliana remained unmoved.
The doctor changed his bandage again and sternly instructed, "Mr. Langley, if you keep moving around, causing repeated infections, we will have to double your antibiotics."
Juliana cut in, "Go ahead, use it. You’re so good at weighing pros and cons, and this injury is an important ’resource’ for you to gain sympathy. If I didn’t happen to have a brain, I almost fell for it."
Saying this, Raine Kane lowered her head.
Lying on the bed, Elias Langley’s gaze remained locked on Juliana.
Juliana avoided his gaze, calmly asking the doctor, "Can I be discharged?"
The doctor thought it over carefully, "You’ve passed the observation period, so technically you can be discharged, but you still have a mild concussion and need plenty of rest."
"Thank you."
Juliana didn’t bother to change out of her hospital gown, merely threw on a coat and walked straight out of the patient room without looking back.
Raine Kane felt a storm surge in her heart. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
