Chapter 205 Jonny Is in Trouble
Winter had rolled in, and the Christmas jewelry design frenzy was in full swing. Elsa had been buried in her sketches all day, not even taking a break for water.
Suddenly, her phone buzzed with a call from an unknown number.
"Elsa, Jonny's in trouble. He's at Valley of Hope Hospital. Hurry!" Jasmine's voice was frantic, catching Elsa off guard.
"Who is this?" The voice was familiar but she couldn't place it right away. Then it hit her—it was Jasmine.
"Jonny's in bad shape. You need to get here now!" Jasmine didn't wait for a reply and hung up.
The urgency in Jasmine's voice seemed real, so Elsa quickly asked Sylvie for leave and grabbed a cab to the hospital.
On the way, her phone rang again. It was Luke.
"Babe, I've got a killer headache. Can you come over and give me a massage?" Luke's voice sounded off.
"Jonny had a car accident. I need to get to the hospital," Elsa said, her voice tinged with worry.
Luke went silent.
Elsa in a bind. She was worried about Jonny, but she didn't want to upset Luke. She thought quickly and said, "Can you ask Max to get you some medicine? This is really urgent."
The line went dead; Luke had hung up.
'Great, just great,' Elsa thought, feeling helpless. But Jonny needed her, and she couldn't ignore that.
She rushed to the hospital and called Jasmine back.
"Over here!" Jasmine waved at her from the lobby, looking oddly pleased.
Elsa hurried over, confused. Why was Jasmine smiling?
"Where's Jonny?" Elsa asked, slightly out of breath.
"You act like you don't care about Jonny, but clearly, you can't forget him!" Jasmine said, arms crossed.
"Where is he?" Elsa ignored her and asked again.
"I lied. Jonny's fine, but you're in trouble."
Jasmine's malicious smile made Elsa's blood boil. "Are you out of your mind?"
Joking about a car accident? Seriously?
"Luke, I wasn't lying. Elsa really cares about Jonny!" Jasmine called out to someone behind her, looking smug.
Luke stepped out from the shadows, his face dark and menacing.
"You teamed up with her to test me?" Elsa asked, feeling a chill despite the heat from running.
Luke's actions stunned her.
"Got anything to say?" Luke asked coldly, his eyes hard.
Elsa raised an eyebrow. "Nothing to explain. I'm worried about Jonny, just like you saw."
"I'm giving you one more chance to say it again." Luke's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked ready to explode.
"Luke, you used Jonny to test me. Go ahead, test me all you want. The answer's always gonna be the same: I'll be there for Jonny if he needs me." Elsa sneered.
"I never thought the president of the Taylor Group would stoop this low."
Disappointed, Elsa shot Luke a withering look and turned to leave.
"Luke, look at her!" Jasmine started to whine, but Luke's icy glare shut her up.
"Keep your Jonny drama away from Elsa," Luke said.
He had been busy when Jasmine called him to the hospital. He thought she was sick, but it was all a setup.
Luke had tried to keep Elsa from coming to the hospital, but now things were a mess.
Did Elsa really care about Jonny that much?
