Chapter 3

Wendy was the first to react. "Jeffrey is almost blind, but you're worried about a scar?"

Her voice was sharp, and Dinah glanced back at Wendy before slapping her across the face. "Be quiet!" Dinah said, pulling out a wet wipe to meticulously clean her hand with disdain. "He has been wheeled out of the operating room. It means he's fine. Why are you panicking?"

Wendy was used to Dinah's submissiveness and had never suffered such a grievance before.

But before she could speak, Dinah was violently shoved aside.

A sharp pain erupted from the top of her head as she dazedly opened her eyes to see the one before her.

It was the woman who had been leaning over Jeffrey.

Her face was full of anger. "I won't let you mistreat his family while he's unconscious."

Dinah looked up at the woman's pure and stubborn face and couldn't help but laugh. "Were you the one who brought Jeffrey to the hospital? Thank you. I'm Dinah Flynn."

The woman stood frozen for a long moment before saying, "Aren't you upset?"

Dinah struggled to stand up and shook her head. "I know you. Your name is Rose White."

Rose was startled and instinctively took a step back. "What do you want? I'm just Jeffrey's friend, not his lover."

Dinah gently interrupted Rose. "I know you're friends. You don't have to explain."

Over the years, Jeffrey had many close female friends, but none were around him for more than a month.

But Rose had been around for almost six months.

Dinah had thought Rose must have some unique qualities. But now she understood.

But now she understood Rose resembled that woman a lot.

She was the most identical to that woman among all the women he had met for so many years.

Thinking of that, Dinah sneered, "But you are still not exactly the same."

Rose was puzzled. "What did you say?"

Dinah shook her head and said, "Nothing. Your clothes are dirty. We're about the same size, and I have spare clothes in the trunk. I'll have someone help you find a place to change. Doctor, please check her thoroughly. Let me know if there's any issue," Dinah said.

"Alright, Mrs. Scott," the doctor replied.

Dinah said softly but firmly, "Go on. By the time you change, Jeffrey must be out. It's just a consultation to assess the extent of the eye repair. It won't take long."

Wendy had already been curious just now. Now she looked at the scene more confused.

How could Dinah treat Jeffrey's mistress so gently?

Wendy wanted to ask, but Colin pulled her away before she could speak.

There was no one else in the hallway soon.

Dinah didn't have to look tough now. She collapsed into a chair.

She entered the hospital room and looked at Jeffrey on the bed. "Why did each of you leave me because of a car accident?"

Tears streamed down Dinah's face and landed on Jeffrey's finger.

He flinched at the touch, and his fingers twitched.

Dinah snapped out of her daze and hurriedly wiped away her tears. "You're awake?"

Jeffrey blinked, and his expression shifted from confusion to panic in just a few seconds.

He suddenly sat up. "Where's Rose? Is she okay?"

Dinah remained silent while watching him.

As expected, Rose held a special place in his heart.

Jeffrey gradually realized the situation and looked guilty. She said, "She's fine. She was just a little shaken. She's gone home to rest."

Jeffrey sighed in relief. "As long as everything is alright."

But how could everything be okay?

Dinah couldn't hold back any longer and called the doctor to examine Jeffrey. She then went to the bathroom.

She locked herself in a stall, and her heart ached painfully. "Jeffrey, you really look so ugly now. You don't even resemble him."

Dinah found it hard to cry in front of that face anymore.

"If you can't return to the way you were, I have no reason to stay with you." Her voice was low but resolute.
