Chapter 153 The Set of Diamond Jewelry
Paige felt puzzled inside, but she still comforted Bradley, "Dad, he's already an adult. What could possibly be wrong? Don't worry, I was just thinking that since my mom has woken up, I wanted to invite you and my sister-in-law over for a gathering."
'Letting Mom see more people and at least letting her understand her current living situation is always a good idea,' Paige thought.
Moreover, Raymond would also make an appearance. When Mom heard her mention Raymond, she always had a comforting smile on her face, so Paige really wanted them to meet.
Paige's invitation made Bradley happily agree.
After hanging up the phone, Paige did not arrange for anyone to keep an eye on the Carnegie family's old mansion.
Instead, she operated her computer for a while and directly hacked into a surveillance camera outside the old mansion.
She needed to confirm whether Raymond had returned to the old mansion.
Sure enough, Paige, who had been watching the surveillance, did not see any trace of Raymond or his car.
He had returned to the country, landed in Northwind, but had not yet returned to the old mansion. Paige knew he had many properties under his name, but she didn't know where he would stay.
Paige felt frustrated inside, experiencing for the first time the feeling of uncertainty in a relationship.
This feeling was not pleasant at all. She angrily took on a pile of work, intending to use it to divert her attention.
At first, it was effective, but gradually, the sweet voice of another woman calling Raymond lingered in Paige's mind and wouldn't go away.
Paige slammed the folder heavily on her desk.
"Pearl, where are my car keys?"
Pearl got up from her desk and immediately came over to find the car keys for Paige.
"Xanthe, the car keys." Handing the car keys to Paige, Pearl felt that something was off with her today.
At least, she wasn't as normal as usual.
Paige took the car keys, muttered "I'm going out for a bit," and then left.
Pearl stood there, contemplating whether to let Julian follow her. After all, Xanthe was in a bad mood today, and she was afraid something might go wrong.
Paige took the car keys, went downstairs, and drove off.
She drove towards the house she and Raymond had lived in.
It seemed she hadn't been back there for a long time.
Although she hadn't been back for a long time, she still knew the way well.
Opening the door, Paige found that everything inside was exactly the same as when she last left.
However, the house was clearly cleaned and looked very tidy. When Paige and Raymond lived here, Paige did all the housework.
After all, Raymond's legs were 'disabled,' so it was normal for her to do the housework.
But after so long, the place was spotless.
Paige entered the house, and everything was clean and in its original place, just as Paige liked it. It was obviously arranged by Raymond.
But Paige couldn't understand how the man who was so adamant about not wanting a divorce could return to the country two days later with another woman by his side.
Moreover, he wasn't answering her calls.
At first, Paige thought maybe Raymond hadn't heard the phone. Once he saw it, he would definitely call her back.
But so much time had passed without any message, indicating that some people had no intention of answering her calls or calling her back.
Paige went to her room. Raymond had given her a set of jewelry, which she had left there and never taken away.
Paige opened the safe, took out the jewelry box, and remembered that when he gave it to her, he said it was fake. Paige smiled.
At that time, she was focused on getting clues, and her attitude towards him was that as long as she kept him, it was fine.
She had never seriously looked at the set of diamond jewelry Raymond gave her, but now she found out it was real.
Looking at it now, Paige realized she had been mistaken.
She had initially assumed that Raymond was just an ordinary wage earner, so how could such luxurious diamond jewelry with so many diamonds be real?
Now, looking at the jewelry with a professional eye, she knew it was valuable.
Yes, she had already known the diamond necklace was real, but she had never taken it out to look at it again.
She stared at the necklace for a while, then put it back in the safe.
She had no idea what Raymond meant or what was going on, and she didn't want to wear the diamond necklace he gave her.
Paige thought about it, got up, and walked out.
But after a few steps, she suddenly turned back, went to her bedroom, and took out the diamond necklace again.
Taking the diamond necklace with her, she went downstairs and drove away.
She couldn't stay away from Sunset Haven Residence for too long because she didn't know when her mom would wake up.
Her mom would definitely look for her as soon as she woke up, so she had to hurry back.
Just as Paige arrived at Sunset Haven Residence, Pearl came out hurriedly with a phone.
Seeing Paige, Pearl said, "Xanthe, I was just about to call you. Grace has woken up and is looking for you."
Sure enough, she couldn't leave the hospital for long.
Grace was still unfamiliar with the environment and other people, so she especially relied on Paige.
"I'll go see her."
With that, Paige tossed the car keys to Pearl.
Pearl parked Paige's car in the garage and then came over.
In the ward, Grace looked anxious.
Paige quickly walked up and greeted Grace, "Mom, I'm here."
Grace muttered, "Ah... um... Paige..."
Paige held her hand. It had been a few days, and Grace's language function hadn't recovered much. Paige was getting impatient.
The doctor prescribed medicine that Grace needed to take with every meal. But seeing her take a lot of medicine without much improvement made Paige uneasy.
The previous antidote was made with unknown ingredients. She and Ryan had studied it once and failed. She didn't dare to act rashly, but now the situation was within her control.
So Paige decided that starting tomorrow, she would personally take over her mother's treatment.
Grace held Paige's hand weakly.
At that moment, Paige's phone vibrated in her pocket.
Paige took out her phone, and her expression instantly turned grim.
