Chapter 66
A hint of surprise flashed in Gianna's eyes. "At least three months, depending on the rehabilitation later on."
Felix nodded. "I see."
"Why are you suddenly asking this? Do you want to recover quickly?"
"No, I was just asking."
Gianna said nothing more. She went to the bathroom and got water to clean Felix's body. Because of their previous experience, Gianna appeared calm this time.
After finishing up, Gianna looked at Felix and said, "Mr. Clinton, I'll sleep next door tonight. If you need anything, just give me a call."
Upon hearing this, Felix's face immediately turned ugly, and his eyes turned cold.
"Gianna, I am still your husband! And I am currently half paralyzed. Are you telling me to sleep in a separate room?!"
Gianna frowned and said, "I remember you were able to bathe and use the toilet by yourself at the hospital."
"If you hadn't refused to take care of me at the hospital, would I have any other choice?"
Facing Felix's icy gaze, Gianna pursed her lips.
"All right, I understand. I'll stay here tonight."
Seeing her bring the blanket from the guest room and lay it on the floor, Felix said nothing, but his face remained cold.
Gianna finished setting up the makeshift bed and was about to turn off the lights when her phone suddenly rang.
Seeing that it was Lauren calling, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. After all, Lauren had never called her before.
Without hesitation, Gianna hung up the phone.
A few more calls came in, and Gianna became annoyed. She blocked Lauren's number.
Soon, Bella sent a message:
[Sister, why did you block Mom? Netizens have exposed your past actions, and today, Mom was mocked by many wealthy women at a Dawnridge event, which almost made her faint in anger!]
"If you see the news, call your mom immediately!" Gianna squinted, opened Twitter, and was shocked to see the search bar.
[#Redstone family Miss Gianna assault#]
[#Gianna is a homewrecker#]
Gianna clicked on the first trending topic and saw the video of her last time fighting Jasmine in the mall.
The second one was about a celebrity claiming that Gianna stole Bella's boyfriend.
A hint of coldness flashed in Gianna's eyes.
After a few seconds of silence, she dialed Faith's number directly.
"Help me check what those two searches on Twitter are about. It must be Jasmine's doing!"
Soon, Faith returned her call.
"I've figured it out. Somehow, Jasmine got a role in 'Many Years.' It's the premiere of 'Many Years' today. She claims to have had similar experiences to the character she plays now, so she's confident she can do it justice!"
"Under the press's questioning, she exposed the incident where you fought her in the mall. She even pretended to be a righteous girl standing up for her friend. She accused you of stealing her best friend's boyfriend, and then she paid off a celebrity to tweet about it!"
"I'm going to kill her!"
Gianna's eyes flickered with surprise. She spoke up, "She got a role in 'Many Years'?"
Faith was speechless. "Is that the point? She accused you of being a homewrecker. How do you plan to fight back?"
Gianna remained silent for a few seconds and said slowly, "I'll go straight to the police."
"All right, I'll arrange it."
Gianna hung up the phone and noticed Felix looking at her. She turned her gaze to him and asked, "Mr. Clinton, is there something you need?"
Felix turned his phone screen toward her, a hint of a smile playing at the corner of his mouth. "I never knew you liked me so much before. You used to watch me from behind secretly?"
The photos on his phone showed her stealing glances at his back, her eyes filled with unmistakable fondness. Gianna felt embarrassed.
While the news was all fake, the photos were genuine. Gianna even recognized the locations and time of every picture, though she didn't know someone had taken them at that moment.
She pursed her lips and pretended to be calm. "When people are young, they tend to do foolish things. I've learned my lesson now."
Upon hearing this, Felix's smile turned icy, and he stared into Gianna's eyes. "Don't you like me at all?"
"Mr. Clinton, you should already know the answer."
She had liked him for these past few years, always following his footsteps from behind, but he had never turned back.
She was tired and wanted to give up, but he didn't want her to leave. Gianna felt him inexplicable.
Felix remained silent for a long time before speaking: "Do you need me to handle the Twitter situation for you?"
Gianna shook her head. "No, I don't care, and this matter will be resolved soon."
A trace of imperceptible loss flashed in Felix's eyes, and his voice became deep. "I am your husband. Sometimes, you can try to rely on me."
Gianna frowned slightly, displeased. "I said I don't need it, Mr. Clinton. I don't want to have any involvement with you, and I don't want to owe you anything. I'm tired, let's sleep!"
After saying that, she didn't care about Felix's attitude and turned off the lights directly.
Julian called early the following day while Gianna was squeezing toothpaste for Felix.
Gianna sneered, and it seemed they wouldn't give up until she answered this call.
She walked to the balcony, and as soon as she answered the call, Julian's dissatisfied voice came through, "Gianna, did you see the news on Twitter? This matter has caused a big controversy, and it has affected Redstone Group's stock market. You should apologize!"
Gianna smiled and raised an eyebrow. "Why should I apologize?"
Outsiders didn't know whether she had been a mistress or not, but he and Lauren knew best!
"I know you feel wronged, but now the netizens are emotional, which has already affected Redstone Group. If you apologize, Dad will compensate you in the future, all right?"
The temperature in Gianna's eyes cooled. In such a situation, he considered making her apologize instead of clarifying the truth.
If she apologized, it would affirm the rumors that she was a mistress!
"Redstone Group has nothing to do with me. Why should I clarify things for Redstone Group? And I didn't do anything wrong. I won't apologize!"
Lauren's angry voice came through the phone as soon as she finished speaking.
"Gianna, you finally exposed your true thoughts. Let me tell you, don't even think about getting involved with Redstone Group. Redstone Group belongs to Belle in the future!"
Even though she had known Lauren's favoritism for a long time, Gianna couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart at this moment.
"If that's the case, let Belle explain it. I never interfered with her and Felix, so why should you call me?"
"You!"
Lauren seemed to be angered and her breathing became heavy.
"You caused this mess, so why should Belle clean it up for you? Let me tell you, if you don't apologize, I will consider myself having no daughter like you!"
Gianna chuckled lightly, "I won't go!"
