From Secret Wife to Queen of Her World

Chapter121. Menu

Hazel woke up and turned her head to see him sitting in the chair next to her. Because her lower back was wounded, she had slept on her side all night. Gabriel's hand had been on her arm, stopping her from lying flat and pressing on the wound. She looked around the ward, confirming it was a private hospital under the Campbell Group. The

room was familiar; Jaxon and Joshua had been treated here before. When Hazel moved, Gabriel woke up, his eyes red from lack of sleep.

He leaned closer and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Hazel shook her head and immediately asked about Jaxon and Joshua.

Knowing they were not hurt, Hazel felt a bit relieved.

She remembered Dylan coming last night and asked, "Is Dylan okay?"

Gabriel replied, "He's not in danger of dying."

He told her Dylan hurt his leg. Doctors were trying their best, but he had recently recovered from a leg injury. This new injury might cause lasting problems even if he healed. Seeing Hazel quiet, he gently said, "He saved our sons, and it was up to me to repay this debt of gratitude."

Dylan got injured saving Joshua and Jaxon. As their father, Gabriel felt responsible for this debt. Hazel said, "When he wakes up, send him to the ZN Laboratory."

The lab recently developed a new drug that might fully cure Dylan's leg. She noticed his dark circles and said, "You should rest, I'm fine."

The wound on her lower back was stitched and bandaged. After resting overnight, Hazel fek better, but her lips were still slightly pale.

She wanted to see Jaxon and Joshua, but Gabriel pushed her back onto the bed. He wore a black jacket, making his look less formal. The loose hair on his forehead made him seem less cold and dominating than he had been before.

Gabriel said, "The kids aren't awake yet. Let's have breakfast first."

Hazel wanted to get up and go to the bathroom to clean up, but Gabriel lifted her horizontally. He carefully avoided her back wound and quickly walked to the bathroom.

"Put me down, I can walk."

"Don't move."

He looked at her and said, "By the time you struggle, we'll be in the bathroom."

He set her in front of the sink, ensuring she was steady, then went to a small bathroom on the other side of the suite to brush his teeth and wash his face.

Hazel was silent.

When she finished washing up, Gabriel was already leaning against the bathroom door, waiting. followed a water drop from her cheek to her collarbone, and Hazel quickly pulled up

kids."

Seeing her angry but helpless look, he smiled. He placed her at the table without any improper actions.

After breakfast, Hazel went to see Jaxon and Joshua.

To avoid being carried by Gabriel again, she opted to use an automatic wheelchair.

The previous night's shock had been intense, and Jaxon and Joshua had a restless sleep, so they woke up later than usual.

Jaxon rubbed his eyes and tried to get out of bed when he saw Hazel, but she stopped him.

He asked worriedly, "Mom, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Hazel felt a warm feeling and said, "I'm fine."

Joshua woke up shortly after Jaxon and, hearing him, also looked at her.

"Mom, you're not telling the truth. Your lips are pale; you must be hurt." He didn't believe her and looked at Gabriel for confirmation.

Hazel tried to signal with her eyes for him not to mention her injury, but Gabriel ignored her.

Gabriel said, "Your mom has a back wound. Jaxon and Joshua, you need to help take care of her these next few days and make sure she follows the doctor's instructions."

Joshua nodded and said, "Mom, I'll take good care of you."

Compared to the awkwardness and rejection when they reunited a few months ago, now he was even more attached to Hazel than Jaxon.

Hazel said, "I can take care of myself. You two just recovered from a fever, so follow the doctor's advice and rest."

Their state was not good at that time, so they tended to become more clingy.

Hazel thought about the past few months, with Gabriel in a coma and the three children sick, and now even she was hospitalized. She decided she needed to find time to pray for better luck.

After a video call with her daughter at home, Hazel used her automatic wheelchair to go see Dylan. Bennett Capital was rapidly expanding its business, and Dylan began working soon after waking

1. up.

His secretary and assistant were in the room, and instead of fruit or flowers on the bedside table, there were newly printed project proposals.

She knocked on the open door.

Dylan looked up."Why are you here? Are you feeling better?"

He had asked his secretary to check on Hazel's condition when he woke up and knew she was with

Jaxon and Joshua, so he didn't bother her. Mostly, his leg was still immobile, and he had to keep it flat to avoid worsening the wound.

Hazel thanked him genuinely.

Dylan said, "If not for me, Lily wouldn't have targeted you. The real issue is with me, so I should be responsible."

If it hadn't been for the blind date arranged by the Bennett and Chase families, Lily wouldn't have blamed Hazel for his rejection.

Dylan said, "I should have apologized to you sooner."

"Given the situation, let's not focus on apologies."

Lily's trouble, though it started with the blind date between her and Dylan, ultimately came from Lily's malicious nature.

During the last live broadcast, Hazel exposed Lily's actions, and knowing Lily's character, she wouldn't forgive Hazel.

Because of this, Hazel had even hired extra bodyguards when going out. She hadn't expected Lily's influence to be so vast, nor that she could hire assassins.

Hazel suspected Gianna was involved. The remaining influence of the Lewis family was stronger than she expected.

The key issue was...

Gianna had given Lily the information, but how did Gianna know Hazel and the children would be at

Emerald Lane at that time?

Hazel thought of someone.

Jade!

Hazel didn't discuss this with Dylan. After she arrived, his assistant left, leaving them alone.

Seeing his leg in a cast, she said, "You got injured saving Jaxon and Joshua. I'll do everything I can heal."

to help you

The determination in Hazel's

in Hazel's eyes was like a flame, drawing Dylan's gaze.

He nodded."I trust you."

When Hazel got back to her room, she saw an unwanted visitor.

Since Hazel refused to help, Jade held a grudge. When Gianna approached, Jade agreed without hesitation!

Last night, Gabriel called the Campbell's villa and changed all the bodyguards. Hearing this, Jade felt anxious and even barely slept, fearing she might be implicated.

Unable to get information at the Campbell's villa, she drove to the Campbell Group's private hospital and saw Gabriel's car.

Jade waited in the underground parking garage for a long time. When she saw Gabriel leave in his car, she hurried up to ask about the situation.

She intended to use this chance to show her concern, hoping Hazel would agree to help her brother's client.

After all, Hazel, who had faced her family's bankruptcy, her mother's early death, and her father's disappearance, must desperately need love.

Wearing expensive brands and perfectly done makeup, Jade sat on the sofa in the hospital room. When she saw Hazel, she quickly stood up and walked towards her.

"Hazel, I was really worried when I heard about your accident. I woke up early this morning and made some chamomile tea for you myself.

"Why are you still at the door? Come sit down. Chamomile tea is best when it's hot."
