Sean kept his head low in disappointment.
Marina thought that he was frustrated because of Chloe.
She hugged her son and comforted him, "Even though things are a little complicated, I'll try and help
you will all my effort."
Sean turned his head and looked at Marina with gloomy eyes, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
Marina thought hard about it. She was clear with how stubborn Jeffery was and how much he cared for
his sister who had passed away, so it would be impossible for him to let go of this thing. She could only
try and persuade Mrs. Chambers and Chloe instead.
After giving it a thought, Marina looked at her son seriously and asked, "If you were to meet Chloe, how
confident are you towards courting her?"
How confident?
He had no interest in her, okay?
Why did he need to be confident?
If he were really interested, he would have done it a long time ago. Why would he wait until now?
But he couldn't tell Marina the truth. He pretended to be hesitant as if he had no confidence, "I think it's
about fifty percent chance."
Marina made up her mind immediately, "Fifty percent is more than enough. I'll go to the Chambers
family and bring Chloe here."
In this way, Sean would get a chance to express his feelings to Chloe.
If Sean could be with Chloe, Jeffery would never be able to force Matthew to marry Chloe anymore.
She understood better than Jeffery, Matthew would never marry Chloe. Even if he did it for Dolores's
sake, they would not have a good ending.
Actually, Marina didn't want to hide this from her son, but she had her concerns as well. In the end, she
didn't say anything. She got up, went to get changed, then went out.
As a mother, she was selfish.
Since they were all staying in the same neighbourhood, it only took Marina a while to get to the
Chambers family's house. As she was about to knock on the door, her mobile phone rang.
She took out her phone and answered the call.
Eddie's anxious voice came from the other side of the call, "Is this Marina?"
Marina could recognize Eddie's voice, and replied, "Yes."
"Hurry up and come to No.2 People's Hospital. Jeffery has passed out. He's sent in to the emergency
room now..."
Marina's mind went into a blank. Jeffery had passed out? He was sent into the emergency room?
She was so panicked that she didn't know if she should step forward or backward. The mobile phone in
her hands was still connected to the call.
"Marina, are you listening?"
Marina regained her senses and replied, "Yes, I heard you. I'm coming over right now."
After getting married for so many years, she still had feelings for Jeffery. Other than being stubborn, as
well as not being not gentle nor romantic, Jeffery was considered a good husband as he was sincere
and loyal to her.
He came from a military background and had a tough physique. He would have his medical check-up
twice a year and had remained healthy. Why did he suddenly pass out and ended up in the hospital?
Marina hailed a taxi at the entrance of the neighbourhood. She had totally forgotten about her promise
to Sean.
Now, all she could think about was Jeffery.
She was afraid that something might happen to him. After all, he had been physically fit. It was just too
sudden for him to be admitted to the hospital.
The taxi arrived at the hospital after a while. Marina opened the door in a panic and got off. The driver
shouted at her, "Hey, you haven't pay yet."
Only then did Marina remember. She turned around and passed a hundred yuan to the driver and
apologized, "I'm sorry, I forgot as I was in a rush."
The friendly taxi driver replied, "Don't worry, I understand."
Nothing good must have happened for someone who had to rush to the hospital.
The taxi driver handed the change through the window. Marina said, "Keep the change." Then, she
immediately walked into the hospital.
The taxi driver smiled and happily put the money back into his wallet, then left the hospital.
When Marina reached the emergency room, Jeffery was still not out yet. Eddie was sitting on the bench
waiting by himself.
Marina walked to him in a hurry. Before she even reached Eddie, her voice reached him first. "What's
wrong? He has always been healthy, so why did he suddenly pass out?"
Eddie stood up from the bench and comforted Marina, who appeared to be extremely worried, "Don't
be anxious first."
"How can I not be anxious?" Marina couldn't control her emotions. Jeffery was sent to the emergency
room, so how could she not be worried?
“Tell me. Why did he pass out? He has always been healthy.”
It was a matter of time before Marina would know the truth, so Eddie didn't plan to hide from her,
"Today, Jeffery and I met Matthew. We wanted to discuss his marriage with Chloe. Matthew agreed, but
he wanted to draw a line with the Harris family. Jeffery got too agitated and that's why he passed out."
Marina knew that Jeffery really cared about Matthew, so she could understand that it was hard for
Jeffery to accept the fact that Matthew wanted to draw a line with the Harris family. But... Matthew had
agreed to marry Chloe?
Now only she recalled her promise to Sean.
What should she do now?
She took out her phone and called her son. As Sean was reluctant to contact his family, Marina didn't
have his mobile phone number, so she could only dial the home landline number.
The phone rang for a long while, but no one picked up the phone.
Sean went to the Chambers family house directly after he waited for Marina for a long time. But he
didn't find Marina there as well.
"Your mother didn't come over, why don't you give her a call?" Mrs. Chambers told him honestly.
Sean smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing urgent. By the way, is Chloe home?"
Mrs. Chambers answered, "Yes, she is."
She stepped aside to let Sean enter the house. Mrs. Chambers actually liked Sean, knowing that he
was almost the same age as Chloe and that they had similar family backgrounds. Since they grew up
together, they were familiar with each other.
Mrs. Chambers looked at him and said, "Sean, are you fond of Chloe?"
He had been visiting pretty frequently lately, and always looked for Chloe. Today, he claimed to come
here to look for Marina but ended up asking about Chloe. For Mrs. Chambers, he was just using the
excuse to get close to Chloe.
Sean was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Mrs. Chambers to ask him this
question.
