Chapter 102
Lola and others were baffled by Bruce’s unusual behavior, wondering what could have made the normally composed man. show such extreme emotion.
“Take a deep breath. What happened? Why are you so flustered Mason asked with a stern voice.
Bruce, panting heavily, still had an exaggerated look on his face. Ms. Jenna Lewis is back! She’s back!”
His announcement was met with a mix of emotions on everyone’s faces.
Lola, out of the loop, looked around in bewilderment.
“What’s going on? Isn’t Jenna’s return supposed to be good news Bruce just said Jenna was hurt. Let’s hurry and check on
“Wait!” Ethan quickly pulled Lola hack.
Ethan wasn’t worried about Jenna’s physical state. He was more Morried about whether this situation was part of Jenna’s scheming.
Or maybe…Dominick had come back.
“Let’s go out and see what’s happening.” Jasmine couldn’t help but speak up.
Although Jenna had done many things to hurt Lola, Jenna was still her daughter.
When Bruce said that Jenna was barely clinging to life, Jasmine couldn’t bear to leave her daughter outside.
“Bring her in,” Ethan said after a moment’s consideration.
It seemed too cruel to leave Jenna outside. Even if she had ill intentions, Ethan wouldn’t let her stir any trouble.
Bruce nodded hesitantly and went out with two servants.
After a short while, the servants carried Jenna inside and laid her on the floor.
Lola gasped in shock as she looked at the girl who looked just like her.
Jenna was unconscious, possibly injured somewhere, her clothing drenched in blood, some fresh, some already dark red.
She was so pale. Even though one could tell that she was still breathing, she looked nothing different from a corpse.
“What happened to Jenna? Bruce, we need a doctor, now! Or we should take her to the hospital! Let’s save her first! Lola spoke anxiously.
She couldn’t understand why everyone seemed to hesitate and not be very worried about Jenna,
Lola guessed there must be some reason behind this, but felt the saving Jenna was the most urgent matter.
“Jenna?” Lola walked over, ready to take Jenna to the hospital since no one else was moving.
“Layla, come back Ethan pulled Lola back and then approached Jenna himself.
“Let’s take her to the hospital first.”
Mason’s face turned slightly sullen. “Are you sure about this?”
Jasmine steadied Mason’s argn. “Sure, no matter what, I can’t just watch her die in front of me. Can you?
“Let’s save her first. As for the past, we can settle that later. There’s no need to stand by and watch her diel”
Ethan also intended to save her first, then confront Jenna for the full story once she woke up.
After all, they shared the same blood. Watching her die here would be a burden they could never overcome in this lifetime.
Jenna was quickly taken to the hospital for emergency care, and the others waited outside.
Lola had been holding back her questions, and now she had the moment to ask.
“Mom, Dad, Ethan, where did Jenna go? Why does everyone look so troubled when she shows up?”
Ethan had been expecting Lola’s questions but couldn’t figure out how to tell her, thinking if he should lie about that,
Once told a lie, there would be countless more follow to sustain it
Ethan glanced at Jasmine, seeking their opinion.
“Say something. Are you keeping something from me? Is there something you can’t tell me?”
Lola grew you hed
anxious. “I could tell you’re hiding something from me, but I thought you wouldn’t harm me, so I didn’t ask why
“But are you even going to keep silent about what happened to Jenna?
“Am I still a part of the Lewis family?” Lola’s eyes brimmed with tears.
She had long wanted to ask these questions, and now it finally found its voice.
Jasmine, unsure of how to respond, looked helplessly towards Ethan
Scott had told them many times. If they didn’t want Lola to be affected, they should not discuss the past with her.
“Since I woke up, Jenna hasn’t come to me at all. Every time I asked you guys, you wouldn’t answer.
“I really don’t understand why everyone seems to avoid it. So, tell me. What exactly happened?”
Jasmine was getting anxious. She didn’t expect Jenna to show up at this time!
If they decide to tell Lola the truth, they will have to reveal what Lola has been through. Lola was too stubborn and would definitely dig up the past, piece by piece.
Jenna made some mistakes in the past and was worried we’d blige her, so she ran away. Now that she’s suddenly returned, we’re not sure how to deal with it.”
Ethan responded in time, deciding not to tell Lola about the past
He had been there during Lola’s darkest times, understanding better than anyone how she had gotten through them.
“What did Jenna do? She looked like she was dying, and yet none of you seemed worried.” Lola was not one to be easily fooled. She couldn’t even think about what Jenna could have done to be treated so coldly by Mason and Jasmine, her own
parents.
“Don’t overthink it. We’re worried, of course. Why else would we bring her to the hospital? Alright, you should go back and
get some rest.”
Ethan didn’t intend to let Lola stay any longer. If Jenna woke up, it could complicate things.
“But I want to be here when Jenna wakes up.” Lola said, her brow furrowing.
Ethan gently rubbed Lola’s head, soothing her. “The air in the hospital isn’t good, and your body hasn’t fully recovered. It’s hard for us to see you pushing yourself like this, okay?
“Go home and wait for news, okay? As soon as Jenna wakes up, we’ll bring her
ome, okay?”
Lola cast her eyes down. She could see Jenna later, and even though she was worried, Ethan’s words left her with no reason to refuse, so she nodded in agreement.
I understand,” she responded.
As Brice accompanied Lola away, Jasmine couldn’t help but express her anxiety. “What should we do? Given the current situation. I’m afraid, what if Jenna wakes up and tells Layla something she shouldn’t do?”
Ethan also didn’t expect Jenna to come home at this time. Why is she suddenly come back? Is it because of Dominick?” he pondered.
He hadn’t been able to contact Dominick for a week. He had no ea where this man had gone or what he had been doing.
Now that Jenna had returned and was severely injured, Ethan assumed it was likely Dominick’s doing.
Ethan guessed that Dominick had beaten Jenna upon seeing her in order to avenge Lola, and Jenna had managed to escape.
It seemed Dominick had come out on top in his confrontation with the Richardson family.
