The Heiress' Savage Comeback

Chapter 317 No Comparison, No Despair

Simone's proposal to visit Andrew took many by surprise. Upon reflection, however, they recognized Simone's compassionate nature. In contrast, Jodie was consumed by bitterness. Has she ever thought of visiting Andrew, her protector, in the hospital? No comparison, no despair. They pondered what Andrew's reaction might be upon discovering this. His biological sister, despite her injuries, wished to see him. Yet, the foster sister he had just defended seemed to have forgotten him. Everyone misunderstood, except for Bailey, who cast a meaningful glance at Simone. This girl is likely up to something. Zac's eyes sparkled with amusement. Simone is sure to hit a nerve. Both were aware that Simone's concern for Andrew wasn't genuine. Zac voiced his thoughts. "Although Andrew's personality leaves much to be desired, we should indeed visit him considering his injuries." He then turned to Jodie and asked, "Are you coming too? I suspect your dear brother might not want to see you at the moment." Upon hearing this, Jodie's heart fluttered. She had been so engrossed in her grievances and anger that she had overlooked the idea of visiting the hospital. Now that Simone had mentioned it, it seemed like a setup for further criticism. This woman is truly cunning. And that scoundrel Zac is undoubtedly doing this deliberately. If he hadn't initiated the conversation, perhaps no one would have paid much attention to her.But now, all eyes were on Jodie. Jodie put on a worried face and said, "Of course, I'll go too. I was actually planning to ask the director to take me to the hospital after the event. But it's best that we all go together now." She implied that she hadn't forgotten about visiting Andrew. Just then, Leon walked over and happened to overhear her words. With a rare hint of disgust, he looked at Jodie. "Aaron was so anxious that he followed the ambulance to the hospital with Andrew. You really have a knack for seeing the bigger picture, don't you? Andrew protected you, and you can still wait until the event is over to think about visiting him." He had been taken aback by Jodie's actions on the polo field earlier. He never expected her to be so heartless and ruthless. Mother must be blind to protect a woman like her. Does this mean that birds of a feather flock together? Is Mother also such a woman? Simultaneously, he decided to follow his sister's lead and distance himself from Melinda. Leon's words shattered Jodie's facade. Indeed, if she genuinely cared about Andrew, she would have followed the ambulance to the hospital. Aaron's actions were those of someone genuinely concerned about their loved ones. But Jodie was still contemplating waiting until the event was over before going. It was evident that she didn't care about Andrew. In the livestream, mockery and insults towards Jodie filled the screen once again. Andrew's fans even wished to strangle Jodie. Jodie's face hardened, and she glared at Leon resentfully. "Is that so? I didn't know; otherwise, I would have definitely gone with Aaron." She quickly changed the subject. "Let's hurry and leave." Leon was becoming increasingly audacious. He had intentionally come to expose her secrets. What did I do to provoke them? Just because they regretted it and wanted to seek forgiveness from Simone, do they have to step on me? The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and her hatred towards Simone deepened. The moment she returned, she wanted to take everything away from me. She snatched away my brothers one by one, making them treat me coldly. Even Leon, who used to take care of me so much, was taken away and started stepping on me. Simone shouldn't have come back. She shouldn't even be alive. She clenched her hand tightly in her sleeve.I can't let Simone, this disaster, continue to live and harm me. Simone could sense the deep resentment and malice from Jodie. This woman will likely cause more trouble in the future. She became more cautious. But this time, the backlash that followed would be enough for Jodie to 'enjoy.' Simone spoke up. "Let's go to the hospital." No one paid attention to Jodie's words. As soon as Simone spoke, everyone started moving. This made Jodie feel even more resentful and jealous. These people really treat me as nothing. This is outrageous. Jonah had already arranged the carriage. The guests boarded the carriage and would take a car to the hospital once they reached the outskirts of Cubilis. At this moment, Andrew's condition had temporarily stabilized after being rescued. He had been taken to the hospital and underwent a series of examinations. While Andrew was being examined, Aaron watched the livestream with the phone returned to them by the director before getting in the car. With such an incident happening, they needed to contact their family and handle various expenses, all of which required their phones. Also, he wanted to see the aftermath and everyone's reactions. Shortly after, Andrew finished the examination. His injuries were severe, and he needed to undergo surgery immediately. As he was being wheeled into the operating room, Aaron was signing the consent form. The livestream was still on, and as a result, both of them saw the scene that had just occurred. They heard what Simone and Jodie said. Aaron looked conflicted. "I didn't expect Simone to be the first one to suggest visiting you." He originally thought Jodie would pretend to be anxious and suggest visiting Andrew first. Who knew that Jodie didn't care about Andrew at all and even dared to wait until the event was over? Andrew felt even more hurt. He didn't expect it to be like this. The more he compared, the more it hurt, making him regret and sad. "I've experienced her heartlessness once again." He closed his eyes and said, "I don't want to see her." Then, he was pushed into the operating room. When Simone and the others arrived at the hospital, Andrew was still in the operating room. They saw Aaron sitting at the door, lost in thought. Upon seeing them, Aaron forced a smile. "You're here." Jodie spoke first with a concerned look. "Aaron, how is Andrew now?" Aaron looked at her expression, and it seemed like she genuinely cared about Andrew. She's acting so convincingly. But he didn't believe it. What took her so long? The smile instantly vanished from his face, and he said coldly, "Thanks to you, he's still alive." Jodie choked, staring at Aaron in disbelief. Clearly, she didn't expect him to utter such words.What did he mean by 'Thanks to her?' It was so ironic. Feeling unjust as usual, she cried. "Aaron, what do you mean by that? I was so worried about Andrew, hoping he would be okay, and you blame me?" Her tears used to be a weapon. Whenever she cried, her brothers would relent and console her. But now, Aaron was no longer the kind-hearted brother he used to be. Previously, when he witnessed her tears, he would feel remorseful and attempt to comfort her. Now, Aaron simply felt irritated whenever Jodie started crying. It was so bothersome. He wondered how they had tolerated it before. His expression darkened. "Andrew has appreciated your kindness. He thanked you. This is a hospital, and Andrew is still being treated. Your tearful appearance is so inauspicious. "He hasn't passed away yet. Anyone who doesn't know would assume you're here to mourn. If you want to cry, please leave this place. Andrew can't bear your tears." The doctor had previously mentioned that Andrew's injuries were severe, but his life was not in grave danger, which was why he made that statement. After all, he wouldn't die, so there was no genuine mourning. But what he said was true. Jodie burst into tears as soon as she arrived. It was truly inauspicious.
