CHAPTER 15: CHAPTER 15 A NIGHT OF PASSION

Jack Woods had just reached the hospital entrance with breakfast when his phone rang.

Unexpectedly, upon answering Alexander Johnson’s call, he heard these words.

"..." He was momentarily speechless.

He didn’t know how to respond or if he should respond at all.

He still remembered asking Young Mister Johnson about Chloe Simpson before coming to the hospital to invest.

At that time, Alexander Johnson’s response was, "what’s past is past."

Now it seemed, it was far from past.

No matter the purpose of Alexander Johnson’s question, the heavy melancholy in his tone already proved everything.

"Ha!"

After a moment of silence, Alexander Johnson seemed to realize how laughable his question was.

He gave a self-deprecating chuckle and resumed his usual calm and wisdom: "Where are you? It’s almost eight o’clock; we should head to the company."

"I’m already at the hospital entrance, Young Master. By the way, I brought breakfast for you and Miss Simpson."

Jack Woods breathed a quiet sigh of relief before he spoke in response.

"Alright." Alexander Johnson replied and then hung up the phone.

Jack Woods put away his phone and took a long breath. He headed toward the conference room in the administration building with the breakfast in hand.

But he had barely taken a few steps when he overheard two healthcare workers gossiping.

"Hey, have you heard? Last night the Johnson Family’s Young Master and a nurse were at the administration conference room..."

"Of course I’ve heard, it’s probably spread throughout the entire hospital by now."

"Oh, right, that nurse seems to be called Jian something..."

"Chloe Simpson!"

"Yes, that’s the name."

"Alas, the doctor married to this woman is truly unfortunate; just newly wed and already something like this happens. I heard that male doctor even graduated with a Ph.D., becoming our hospital’s chief physician at a young age."

"There are just some people, in the midst of prosperity, who don’t realize their blessings. If I had such a good husband, I wouldn’t even think of cheating."

All the way to the administration building’s conference room, all Jack Woods heard was gossip about Chloe Simpson and Ethan Johnson’s one-night fling.

All kinds of nasty remarks were everywhere.

When Jack Woods reached the conference room, Chloe Simpson was still asleep.

He took a glance, then went back to report these discussions to Alexander Johnson.

"Got it."

Alexander Johnson simply nodded, not saying anything.

When he saw the figure outside the window last night, he had already anticipated this.

He just thought it would spread throughout the Johnson Clan Group; he didn’t expect it to circulate throughout the whole hospital first.

It seems Gabriella Dyer had also placed people in the hospital.

Going forward, he would need to act with even more caution to ensure Gabriella Dyer never discovers his real purpose for coming here.

"Should we inform about this..."

Jack Woods glanced at Chloe Simpson and then looked at the sofa.

Alexander Johnson raised his hand to stop him: "No need, she’ll find out sooner or later."

Seeing this, Jack Woods said nothing further and neatly arranged the breakfast on the table.

When Chloe Simpson woke up, Alexander Johnson had already finished breakfast.

"Miss Simpson, this is the breakfast I brought for you. The Young Master has already eaten; we’ll head back to the company first."

Jack Woods said respectfully, then left with Alexander Johnson.

As for Alexander Johnson, he didn’t even spare an extra glance at Chloe Simpson from beginning to end.

Chloe Simpson watched Alexander Johnson’s departing silhouette without thinking too much.

After all, last night between the two of them...

It was normal for him to ignore her.

She just hoped that after today, there would never be any interaction between them again.

As soon as Alexander Johnson left, the atmosphere in the conference room seemed to lighten up.

Chloe Simpson stretched out with a big yawn, moving her body.

Looking at the breakfast on the table, she hesitated for a moment but eventually opened it to eat.

She indeed felt hungry, and with the workday about to start, there was no time to eat at the cafeteria.

Of course, the breakfast Jack Woods brought for Alexander Johnson was particularly lavish, from Season Imperial Pavilion, a Michelin three-star restaurant.

It’s said that Season Imperial Pavilion is the most expensive restaurant in all of Kyohai, bar none.

Chloe Simpson took a small bite and indeed found it delicious.

When Lucas Hughes arrived, Chloe Simpson was eating the most expensive breakfast in Kyohai, brought by Jack Woods.

"Well, well! Seems like you pleased Young Mister Johnson last night! Even breakfast has been upgraded to Kyohai’s fanciest level. Chloe, you’re really such a damn bitch!"

Lucas Hughes picked up the breakfast and smashed it on the ground, then raised his hand to slap Chloe Simpson.
