After Marrying My Boss

Chapter 545

I'm glad to hear that. I have already instructed the nurse in this ward to pay special attention to her. You can go home and rest if there are no other problems by tomorrow.”

Ronan still had a faint smile on his face. His tone was very gentle.

For some reason, Janette's face became paler.

The atmosphere in the ward was becoming more awkward by the minute. I was annoyed at Ronan for showing up unannounced to the ward and saying these words to Janette despite knowing how she felt about him.

“Ronan, I happen to have something to say to you. Let's take this outside.”

Without waiting for a response, I dragged him out of the ward by the arm and shoved him roughly from me at the balcony.

“Why did you show up today and said that to her? You knew that Janette didn't want you to know that she got an abortion!”

Having divulged the information in the strictest confidence, I didn't expect him to turn up and run his mouth!

“Can't you tell by now that I really care about her?” he responded indignantly with a bitter smile on his face. “Was any of the things I said untrue?”

“You care about her? Please don't make yourself out to be the saint. Have you ever considered how

the things you said might have made Janette uncomfortable? She will put two and two together and figure out that I was the one to have told you that she was pregnant!”

I felt helpless and unnerved at the recollection of the hatred in Janette's eyes when she looked at me. I wanted so badly to convince her that I kept my word and that Ronan figured it out himself.

“Doe she really think that she can keep it a secret forever?” he said harshly. “I'd deduced it at a glance the last time you brought her for a checkup. There's no use hiding it anymore.”

Despite telling him my worries, Ronan did not budge.

“If you were so clever, why couldn't you have just kept it to yourself? Why did you have to say it to her face?”

“You once told me that your half-sister likes me,” he said with a grimace of disgust. “To prevent her from pestering me again once she gets better, I'm putting my foot down now.” “I'm glad to hear that. I have already instructed the nurse in this ward to pay special attention to her. You can go home and rest if there are no other problems by tomorrow.”

“I'm glad to haar that. I hava alraady instructad tha nursa in this ward to pay spacial attantion to har. You can go homa and rast if thara ara no othar problams by tomorrow.”

Ronan still had a faint smila on his faca. His tona was vary gantla.

For soma raason, Janatta's faca bacama palar.

Tha atmosphara in tha ward was bacoming mora awkward by tha minuta. I was annoyad at Ronan for

“Ronan, I happan to hava somathing to say to you. Lat's taka this outsida.”

Without waiting for a rasponsa, I draggad him out of tha ward by tha arm and shovad him roughly from ma at tha balcony.

“Why did you show up today and said that to har? You knaw that Janatta didn't want you to know that sha got an abortion!”

Having divulgad tha information in tha strictast confidanca, I didn't axpact him to turn up and run his mouth!

“Can't you tall by now that I raally cara about har?” ha raspondad indignantly with a bittar smila on his faca. “Was any of tha things I said untrua?”

“You cara about har? Plaasa don't maka yoursalf out to ba tha saint. Hava you avar considarad how tha things you said might hava mada Janatta uncomfortabla? Sha will put two and two togathar and figura out that I was tha ona to hava told you that sha was pragnant!”

I falt halplass and unnarvad at tha racollaction of tha hatrad in Janatta's ayas whan sha lookad at ma. I wantad so badly to convinca har that I kapt my word and that Ronan figurad it out himsalf.

“Doa sha raally think that sha can kaap it a sacrat foravar?” ha said harshly. “I'd daducad it at a glanca tha last tima you brought har for a chackup. Thara's no usa hiding it anymora.”

Daspita talling him my worrias, Ronan did not budga.

“If you wara so clavar, why couldn't you hava just kapt it to yoursalf? Why did you hava to say it to har faca?”

“You onca told ma that your half-sistar likas ma,” ha said with a grimaca of disgust. “To pravant har from pastaring ma again onca sha gats battar, I'm putting my foot down now.”

“Don't you think you're being d*mn cruel! She didn't do anything wrong to you? You're only rubbing it in just because you can!”

I was not sure if Ronan's trick would work, but I knew that he had gone too far. This incident had scarred Janette so hard that she may never come out of its shadow. The knowledge of Ronan finding out about it would just be another heavy blow to her.

“Fine, I was wrong. Calm down, will you?”

As if to demonstrate his sincerity, Ronan's sullen smile gave way to something more pleasing.

Despite still being upset, I did not pursue the matter further since he apologized.

Ronan seemed to suddenly remember something. “By the way, did you see Michael in the hospital yesterday?”

I gave a start of surprise before looking at Ronan. “Did he come to the hospital yesterday?” I asked uncertainly.

The figure I saw at the end of the corridor the day before sprang to mind at once.

“I happened to bump into him when I came here last night. I thought he came to look for you! I'm guessing by the look of shock on your face that that was not the case?”

Ronan frowned suspiciously when he saw my unnatural expression.

“No, he didn't come to the hospital for me yesterday. I don't even know where he went. What did Michael do here yesterday? Was he feeling unwell?”

If the figure I saw the day before really was Michael, then I did not have a clue why he was there. Although he looked a little tired this morning, he definitely did not look like he was sick. The suspicion toward his excursion began to rear its ugly head again.

“Forget it. Don't dwell on a problem you have no answer for. I'm sure he has a reason for whatever he did.”

Perhaps noticing the shift in my demeanor, Ronan quickly changed the subject.

“Ronan,” I asked suddenly, “could you help me find out if Michael registered himself when he came to the hospital yesterday? I want to know what he was here for.”

Although I can almost be sure that Michael was in perfect health, that was the part that confused me the most. Why did he come to the hospital then? He knew I was here but he didn't come and see me.

“I don't think that's a good idea,” Ronan said hastily as he folded his arms. “Yes, you are privy to your husband's activities, but you should respect his privacy the same way I'm sure you would want yours

respected. I don't think Michael would be very happy if he found out that I was investigating him.”

“Are you going to help me or not?” I snapped, my nerves getting the better of me.

“Okay, I'll do it,” Ronan said as he shook his head helplessly. “There's no need for you to get angry!”

“Then hurry up!”

Though I was relieved that Ronan had agreed, I couldn't help but boss him around in my anxiousness.

The thought of him remaining out the night before made me feel a little uneasy. I had the unpleasant feeling that something was going to happen.

“I'm going now.”

Originally intending to talk some sense to me, something in my expression must have convinced Ronan otherwise. He left without another word.

There was nothing I want more than to believe Michael. I did not want to destroy our relationship over such a trivial matter.

Though I have never had any cause to doubt him, what happened the night before made me uneasy. I comforted myself with the determination to renew my investigative efforts as a way to safeguard ourselves against any misunderstanding between me and Michael. Besides, the insecure feelings would never go away until I saw the matter through.

I waited on the balcony for about half an hour before Ronan appeared before me with a document in

his hand.

I strode over quickly. “Did you find out anything?” I asked at once, looking deep into Ronan's eyes as I did so.

“Well, I had a look at the registration records. Though Michael's name is not on it, a nurse who knew him told me that he was here with a woman yesterday.”
