Chapter 559
"You also said that Star is already inside being treated by the doctor," Jackson coldly added. "I'm not a doctor, so how can I care for her? Should I rush in and cause trouble for the doctor?"
Daisy choked up, took a breath, and said, "But you should at least care about how Star got hurt."
Jackson nodded and replied, "Of course, I had Terry check the surveillance footage."
Daisy said that Star got hurt while saving Lillian, so he had to see what exactly happened.
At this moment, Terry came over a step behind and said, "Mr. Frane, the surveillance footage is ready."
Terry handed the tablet to Jackson, showing the video of Mary rushing out in front of the hospital building, almost colliding with Lillian and Star.
After watching, Jackson looked up and swept his icy gaze towards Mary, who was standing nearby.
Mary shivered and defended herself, "I didn't see Miss Price standing there. Besides, she ran into me herself in the end. I fell too, and I got a bit burned."
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeve, revealing a small burn on the back of her hand.
Most of the soup had spilled on Star, indicating that Star's burns were quite severe.
Jackson's expression darkened, and his gaze grew even colder.
Mary shrank her neck, her face pale, and lowered her head, not daring to speak.
Daisy said coldly, "I think she did it on purpose. Maybe she and Lillian planned it together to bump into Star. Otherwise, why would she run out at that exact moment?"
Lillian looked up at Daisy and retorted, "So I must be pretty good at predicting things, knowing ahead of time that Star would charge forward on her own?
Daisy said matter-of-factly, "That's typical for Star. She has always been overly kind and self-sacrificing. That's how she saved Jackson back then, too."
Lillian pressed her lips together and fell silent.
'Daisy clearly sees Star through rose-colored glasses, but Jackson seems to feel the same way. Does he think the same about this matter?' she wondered.
Lillian couldn't help but look up at Jackson, but Jackson's expression was cold as he spoke to Daisy. "Lillian isn't like you; she wouldn't risk her own child."
Daisy's expression hardened. Being contradicted by Jackson in public, she found it hard to respond.
Fortunately, her phone rang at that moment.
Daisy took her phone and stepped aside to answer the call.
Not sure if she had something urgent or if she realized Jackson was completely siding with Lillian and didn't want to be mistreated here. She gripped her phone tightly and quickly walked away.
Lillian briefly told Jackson about Mary snatching the recorder, and Jackson instructed Terry, "Check the hallway and elevator surveillance to see where she threw the recorder."
Mary's face turned ashen upon hearing this, and she became extremely flustered.
At this moment, Star finished her treatment and was wheeled out.
She was awake but looked very pale. Her clothes had been cut open, and her chest to neck was wrapped in bandages, covered by a hospital gown.
Seeing Jackson, her eyes welled up. She wanted to say something but hesitated, glancing at Lillian, who was being held by Jackson, and quickly lowered her head. "Jackson, Lillian, I'm fine. In that situation, it was right for me to step in. You don't need to feel guilty."
After speaking, she raised her head and forced a pale smile.
Lillian, seeing her like this, felt even more anxious. If she had truly misunderstood Star and Star really had such a character, then so be it.
But if Star was just pretending, then she was doing all this to regain Jackson's trust.
In that case, Star was being too harsh on herself and too terrifying.
