Chapter 175 Let's Gossip a Bit

I smiled and said, "Alright, once I've recovered, I'll treat you to a meal."

"Alright, I won't bother you anymore, rest well, I'm hanging up." He said and hung up immediately.

Looking at the number on the screen, I couldn't help but wonder, how did he suddenly know my number? Feeling very dizzy, I didn't think about it anymore. I put down my phone and lay on the bed with my eyes closed.

Rachel brought in quite a bit of food and sat down next to my bed, whispering, "Tabatha, are you asleep?"

Hearing her voice, I opened my eyes and looked at her, meeting her gaze. She grinned and said, "If you can't sleep, get up and eat something. Alexander has told us all about it. You've been through so much and just woke up not long ago. You must not have eaten anything, with an empty stomach, you won't be able to sleep for a while."

I propped myself up against the head of the bed, took the lean meat porridge she handed over. Probably I was really hungry, it smelled so good that I couldn't help but start eating.

Rachel looked at me and said, "Auntie Eileen said you and Mr. Hinton divorced?"

I nodded, bowed my head to eat my porridge, and didn't pick up her conversational thread.

She paused slightly and said, "It's good that you left. Who knows how much more suffering you would have had to endure if you stayed with

him."

I paused what I was doing, looked up at her, raised an eyebrow, "Something's off about your gossiping style today."

She signed, stuttering a bit, guiltily saying, "I...what's wrong with me, did I...say something wrong?"

I nodded, "Yes, but usually you would first ask me if I really let go of my feelings for Walter, and then criticize his various shortcomings. But today you directly criticized him, it seems there is something in your heart that I don't know about, which made you gossip without your heart, right?"

She opened her mouth, her face somewhat flustered. After getting up and walking around, she seemed to see something outside the balcony. With a cunning look on her face, she looked down and said, "Yes, am indeed heartless. The one who cares is outside guarding."

I slightly furrowed my brows, unsure of what was downstairs. I put down the porridge in my hand, got out of bed to take a look, and what caught my eye was Walter's black Bugatti that hadn't been driven

away.

Without a doubt, Walter didn't leave.

Seeing this, I slightly furrowed my brows and returned to the bed to continue lying down. Rachel, noticing my shift in attention, looked at me and said, "I heard he spent the whole night dealing with the police just to find you. He hasn't even gone to see Ashley yet, and he's still downstairs, probably still worried about you."

I raised my hand and pinched the bridge of my nose, ignoring her words, and asked, "Did the police station have anything to say?"

She nodded, "Lucas just called, it seems he was asking about Henry. But Auntie Eileen said you just got back and haven't fully recovered

yet. Lucas said to wait until you're better, then he wants you to go to the police station. It seems like they want to take your statement. They still haven't found Henry, so I guess the police station is pretty

anxious."

I pursed my lips and muttered a word of thanks, feeling full and drowsy. Overcome by fatigue, I couldn't help but lie down on the bed, ready to sleep.

Seeing that I was indeed tired, Rachel didn't say much more. She packed up her things and prepared to leave.

"Ah..." She suddenly turned around at the door and looked at me, "What should we do if Mr. Hinton stays downstairs all the time? After all, he is a guest, and he is the eldest son of the Hinton family. We can't just ignore him, can we?"

With my eyes closed, I said in a tired voice, "Don't bother."

"Oh!" Rachel responded, then she left.

I was indeed tired, and it wasn't long before I fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up again, it was already the next day.

After a solid sleep, I felt much refreshed. When I went downstairs, my mother had prepared a table full of delicious food. Alexander was still there. Seeing me coming down, he poured me a cup of soy milk and asked, "How are you? Feeling better?"

I nodded, checked the time, and asked, "Not going to the company today?"

He gave me a glance and said, "Look, the true face of a capitalist. You haven't even had breakfast yet, and you're already rushing me to work for you."

I laughed, "I was just asking casually. Who can blame me when I hardly see you? You're such a workaholic, can't I even ask out of curiosity?"

He snorted and ignored me.

I smiled lightly, asking. "Any plans for today?"

Mother came out with freshly steamed shrimp dumplings and put them. on the table, saying, "I asked Alexander to accompany me to Dracview. Mia's wedding invitation was sent a few days ago. I originally thought that you had an accident and wouldn't go, but seeing you like this now, I feel relieved. So I plan to let Alexander accompany me. After all, we've been friends for decades. It wouldn't be appropriate not to go."
