Chapter 620: Hospital Office
It’s unthinkable to Jasper Sinclair.
He entrusted the matter to Raina Sinclair, telling her to not only refurbish the furniture but also ask the household staff if anything strange has occurred recently.
The first day.
After work, Jasper Sinclair rushed to the hospital, bringing unfinished work with him.
Nora Northwood, unwilling to see him tired and busy, persuaded him: "There are caregivers to look after me here. You should focus on your work. The doctor said after a few more days of observation, I can go home to recuperate."
The man refused to listen and declined her suggestion.
"You had a fracture right under my nose, and I can’t even trust myself, let alone anyone else."
So, Jasper Sinclair made the hospital room his office and didn’t go to work for several days.
During this time, Louis Hayes visited a few times.
Firstly, to report on work.
Secondly, he bought some fruits and flowers for Nora Northwood, showing his care and regard.
"Jasper, it’s been almost a week, staying here is driving me crazy."
Nora Northwood’s meaning was clear; she wanted to go home.
In the hospital, she couldn’t do anything she wanted, even the little garden reeked of unpleasant disinfectant smell.
Observing her eagerness to leave, Jasper Sinclair called the attending doctor.
"Based on her current condition, can she be discharged?"
Nora Northwood gazed at the doctor intently as if her life hinged on his answer. All her stakes were placed here.
If the doctor said no, Jasper Sinclair would never let her leave, no matter what.
Fortunately, the doctor didn’t let her down.
"Tomorrow, after changing her cast, she can go home to recuperate, but she’ll need to visit the hospital for a check-up every week."
Nora Northwood readily agreed with the doctor.
After asking about some precautions, she began packing her belongings to go home.
She hadn’t stayed in the hospital long, so there wasn’t much to pack, mostly medication.
Meanwhile.
Raina Sinclair provided an answer that was enigmatic.
She said, "Peach Bell also fell on the stairs when living at The Sinclair Residence. I asked several nannies, and the spot where Nora fell is roughly the same."
Upon hearing this, Jasper Sinclair’s expression subtly changed.
He advised, "Do not let this matter be known publicly, especially not to Nora."
Having grown up under his aunt’s watch, a single glance from him, and Raina Sinclair knew what he was thinking.
"Are you suspecting that Peach Bell is connected to this incident?"
"Possibly. During this time, I’m burdening you, Aunt, but I’ll handle the rest of the investigation."
Immediately, Raina Sinclair’s expression subtly dulled, hesitating to think deeply.
Since her nephew said not to worry, she truly let go, especially given her age, many things were beyond her capacity.
Besides, she didn’t want to meddle in young people’s romantic affairs.
The two returned to the hospital room, seeing Nora Northwood reaching for tangerines in the fruit basket, reaching for the largest ugli fruit.
With a forceful press of her nail, she pierced the skin, slowly tearing it open and tossing it in the trash.
Orange mist from the tangerine peel burst forth, soon permeating, dispelling the hospital room’s disinfectant smell.
Hearing movement at the door, thinking Jasper Sinclair had returned, she eagerly called out for Jasper.
Seeing her aunt behind him, she quickly changed address, "Auntie, the tangerines you bought are so sweet!"
"As sweet as your words."
After peeling an entire tangerine, Nora Northwood broke off a small piece and shared it with the person opposite her.
