“Exactly. I blocked his number after his first call because he was becoming a nuisance. But today, he found another way to corner me, still insisting that I help him convince the founder to restore our partnership with Lawson Group.”

Linsey pressed her lips together before continuing. “I wasn’t planning to entertain his request, but then Carol barged in. She’s always held a grudge against me, and seeing me at the table with her family set her off. She lost control, and when Jeffery tried to stop her, she shoved him. He ended up crashing into a cabinet and getting injured—hence the hospital trip.”

Hearing her explanation, Collin finally pieced everything together.

Collin arched an eyebrow. “You’re awfully concerned about Jeffery, aren’t you? Carol was the one who hurt him, yet you still followed him to the hospital. Why?”

A flicker of intrigue crossed Linsey’s eyes as she answered, “I was just about to explain. The client I met is Myla, Jeffery’s mother. And to my shock, we look almost identical! It wasn’t just me who noticed; Myla saw it too. She and Jeffery’s father even asked to meet my parents. That’s when I told them I grew up in an orphanage.”

Collin’s expression shifted slightly. Her words brought back a fleeting memory from not long ago. The day Dustin introduced Jeffery as a potential business partner had also been the first time Collin met him. That day, Collin had casually remarked to Dustin that Jeffery bore a slight resemblance to Linsey. Now, hearing that Linsey also looked like Jeffery’s mother, he couldn’t shake the feeling that there might be more to it than coincidence.

Collin mulled it over for a moment before letting out a soft chuckle. “I see. So, after noticing the resemblance, you felt a sense of familiarity with Mrs. Lawson and decided to accompany her to the hospital.”

Linsey smiled. “You know me too well, sweetheart. That’s exactly it.”

After a brief pause, her voice dropped slightly. “Earlier, the doctor gave Jeffery a preliminary checkup and asked his parents if the Lawson family had a history of genetic blood disorders. Do you think Jeffery could have a serious blood disorder?”

“Blood disorder? Since you’re still at the hospital, it’s best to wait for the results before jumping to conclusions.” Collin’s voice turned serious. After a moment, he added, “You mentioned Carol showed up earlier. That worries me. If she’s capable of harming her own brother, she might not stop there. Make sure you’re never alone, alright?”

Linsey let out a small laugh. “Don’t worry, I’m fine. Carol has disappeared for now, and her parents are having someone look for her. Now that they’re back in the country, she won’t be as reckless as before.”

“Alright. Just call me if anything happens. Or I can come pick you up after work,” Collin offered.

“Okay, I’ll wait for you. In the meantime, I’ll stay with Myla and check on Jeffery’s test results,” Linsey replied before ending the call.

When she returned to Myla’s side, Jeffery’s examination had just finished.
