Chapter 599 I Am Ready (1/2)

The nurse on the other end of the line cut into the subject and asked.

After hearing this, Jean exclaimed, ”What? Joy is in a coma right now?” Her face changed dramatically as her voice trembled with uncertainty. ”She…”

”Take it easy. She'll wake up soon, but the patient has no will to survive, so we hope you can come and give her some encouragement to live…”

”I'm sorry. You must be mistaken. Joy and I are not in good terms, so I'm not sure if I can help her,” Jean interrupted before the nurse could finish.

”It's not my business to know what kind of relationship you have with her. But I assumed you know she won't live longer since you didn't ask me about her illness. If it's indeed true, can you forget the hate? She only kept your phone number all this time. Doesn't that explain everything?”

The nurse's voice became hostile yet persuasive at the same time.

”I...” Jean could't think of words to say. She forced a weak smile and let out a deep breath. ”Okay! I'll be right there!”

Jean hung up the phone with a scornful look on her face.

'The only reason Joy didn't delete my number is because she has no one to turn to.

Look at her family, Winner is dead while Shirley is in prison. And Henry is still annoyed by what she did to him and my mother.

So who else can she contact with except me?

And in the end, in Joy's remaining moments, it is only me whom she can turn to, even though I'm the last person on earth Joy would think of and like to see, ' thought Jean.

Accompanied by Toby, Jean went to see Joy. A pungent hospital smell enveloped her as she entered Joy's ward.

Although, Jean had no feelings for Joy except hate, she was shocked to see Joy lying on the hospital bed with such a pale face. She looked frail and old from her pathetic state.
