Chapter 1230: Hospitalization
No one wanted to take Evelyn to see Dermot right now. She was still too weak, so she had to let it go.
"Aidan, can you check out that dead driver for me? I don't buy that it was just an accident." She never believed in coincidences. Even if it was an accident, she wanted to dig into it herself.
Aidan didn't hesitate, "Alright, I'll look into it. But you need to chill and rest."
"Don't worry, I got it." Evelyn nodded. In her current state, she could barely get out of bed, let alone leave the room.
Aidan and Niall hung out with Evelyn in the hospital room for about half an hour before taking off, leaving Ruby to look after her.
Later that evening, Blake and Bella showed up at the hospital.
With the car accident involving Evelyn and Dermot, both the Doyle Group and the Kyte Group were swamped with rumors, keeping them busy managing the companies.
Blake had to juggle handling the Doyle Group's issues too.
Luckily, Dermot had always been solid, so even with his accident, the Doyle Group stayed pretty stable.
"Evelyn, are you okay?" Bella, red-eyed from crying, looked at her pale face, feeling heartbroken.
Evelyn shook her head. "I'm fine."
Her weak voice made it hard to believe her.
Bella turned her head, clearly about to cry again.
Blake sat beside her, feeling guilty. "It's my fault as a dad for not protecting you."
"Dad, I'm not a little kid who needs your protection." Given the situation, even if Blake had been with her, what could he have done?
But Blake still felt bad and decided to stay and take care of Evelyn. He couldn't let anything else happen to her.
"Mr. Kyte, Ms. Calderon, you should go home and rest. I'll stay here." Ruby knew Evelyn's personality and that she wouldn't want her parents to stay and watch over her.
Blake looked at Ruby, grateful. "Ruby, thanks. I know you'll take good care of Evelyn, but as her parents, it's our job to stay. You should go home and rest."
After some back-and-forth, Evelyn felt a headache coming on.
"Dad, you should go home. Ruby can take care of me." Blake and Bella weren't young anymore. If they stayed in the hospital all night, they'd be exhausted, and she'd end up worrying about them.
Evelyn was firm, and Blake and Bella exchanged a glance before reluctantly nodding. "Alright, we'll come back to see you tomorrow."
"Okay." Evelyn nodded slightly.
Before leaving, Bella handed over the chicken soup she had brought. "I made this chicken soup for you. Please have some."
"Thanks." Evelyn didn't refuse Bella's kindness. She knew Bella wanted to make it up to her.
Evelyn didn't mind. If it made Bella feel better, why refuse?
With that, Bella left the chicken soup and left the room with Blake. The room quickly quieted down.
Ruby took the lunch box Bella had left on the bedside table and opened it. The aroma of chicken soup filled the room. "Smells so good. The doc said you can't eat yet, so I guess I'll have to enjoy it," Ruby joked; she was indeed a bit hungry.
