Chapter 31
Janie and Jackson stepped outside and spotted David not far away.
Jackson was surprised to see him.
David approached stealthily and whispered, “Let’s get in the car?
They couldn’t hinger outside.
“Alright” Jackson said.
They all clumbed into the car, and David started it without delay.
Just then, Ryan and Ethan struggled to get up, stumbling as they chased after Jane and Jackson, only to see David’s car speeding away. They had no choice but to stop
Janie Jackson, and David had no intention of hanging around the hospital any longer. With nothing else pressing, they decided to head back to the filming site.
Janie was always reliable. He never worried when she took charge. The thought of those two brothers having a hard time brought hirn some contorட
David fel a gnawing anxiety, but he didn’t know how to voice it.
Finally, he couldn’t hold back any longer and asked, “Miss Janie, if I may he so bold, what is your relationship with the Jenkins family! Their attitudes are quite strance
Janie was unsurprised by his question. She knew he had been holding it in for a while.
Jackson glared at David, feeling quite displeased. He genuinely despised the Jenkins family and didn’t want anyone to know about Janie’s
connection to them. Besides, he was her brother
Janie didn’t want to die or disclose her ties to the Jenkins family. The fewer people who knew, the better. She had no desire to associate with i
them. and it was clear they didn’t want 100 many people in on their business either.
She simply replied. Im sorry, but I’d prefer not to go into details. Tran only say that we had some past entanglements, but now we have no relation
David’s curiosity was quelled.
Janse wasn’t brushing ham of, nor was she lying. Since their ties were severed, he wouldn’t have to press her for personal secrets.
David nodded and said, “I understand.”
Preparing to start the car, he added. “Then let’s get going“
The thought of being around people he didn’t mind at the filming site lifted his spirits slightly.
Janic nodded in agreement.
Just then, David’s phone rang
He glanced at it and looked back at Janie and Jackson in the rearview mirror. “Sorry, I need to take this call
Jackson lazily nodded.
David answered the call, but his previously relaxed expression tightened with concern Breathing heavily, he exclaimed, “What‘ rll be back right
He ended the call hastily, took a deep breath, and looked at Janse and Jackson, trying to remain calm. “It seems I can’t go with you for now. There’s an emergency at home, and I need to lead there best”
Jackson nodded in understanding and reached for Jande to get out of the car.
David hesitated, wanting to say something but unsure how to begin.
Janie sensed his turmoil and asked, “Do you need help?”
Touched by her kindness, David nodded eagerly. I can’t shake the feeling that this is somehow related to my bad luck. Miss Janie, if you don’t mind, could you come with me! I know it’s presumptuous, but…

Chapter 31
Janie agreed, Ter’s goi
David’s eyes glistened slightly with gratitude. “Thank you.”
Jackson, of course, didn’t object. He always followed Janie’s lead
Janie appeared alool, but in truth, she was kinder than anyone else.
Noticing David’s distress, Janie frowned slightly. “You don’t look well. Maybe you shouldn’t ddrive.”
Jackson immediately said, “Ti drive”
The Smiths wasn’t far away, and they arrived quickly.
The Smith family was a well–known affluem clan in Westland.
Though David had achieved celebrity status, he had kept a low profile, and few knew of his distinguished background.
You’re finally home. Mr. Smith”
The butler was waiting outside and rushed over anxiously as soon as he saw David get out of the car. His eyes widened in surprise when he noticed Janie and Jackson stepping out foo
After all, David rarely brought anyone with him, especially not under such urgent circumstances. And this time, it was an extremely beautiful girl
Of course, Jackson was completely overlooked.
David filled with concern, asked, “What happened to Grandpa!”
The butler’s face was etched with worry. “Mr. Smith suddenly collapsed, bleeding from all his orifices. We can’t find any issues despite all the tests.
We couldn’t find anything at the hospital either, but he just won’t wake up. Everyone is frantic.”
William had suddenly fainted, unconscious yet with a normal pulse and heartbeat. The hospital couldn’t pinpoint the problem, so they had to bring him home.
The Smith family had advanced medical equipment and a top–notch healthcare team that could provide the best care.
The butter was curious about Janie and Jackson, but he knew it was not the time for questions.
With a worried expression, David dashed into the house, while Janie and Jackson followed closely behind, their pace steady and quick.
The burler trailed behind, trying fruitlessly to keep up:
Janie and Jackson stopped at the bedroom door, where the butler asked them to go and sit on the sofa
Inside William Smith’s bedroom, only James and Olivia Smith, David’s parents, and babella Smith, his grandmother, were present, gathered around the bed where Williamn lay.
“David, we really had no choice but to call you. Do you think your grandfather is “Isabella broke down, her composure shattered.
David felt a pang in his heart as he took in the somber scene, with his grandfather unconscious and his family’s faces filled with despair
He rushed to his grandfather’s bedside, his heart aching at the sight of the frail figure.
“What on earth is going on! How can there be nothing wrong after all these tests?” he asked.
Just as halalla opened her mouth to speak, she suddenly fell to the floor, blood streaming from her orifices

David hurried to help her, lifting her onto the bed.
Olivia trembled, fear etched on her face. “It was just like this with your grandfather…”

James frowned, “How could that be? Don’t talk nonsense

Yet he lacked conviction, as the situation was indeed bizarre.
At that moment, David’s mind cleared suddenly.
He stood up abruptly. “Janie
