Time Travel to Become Your Sweetheart novel Chapter 97

"The doctor said that he was out of danger, but why hasn't Grandpa woken up yet?"

Jane secretly sighed. She had gotten used to Collin's yells and shouts. Now the sight of him lying on the hospital bed with plenty of tubes stuck in his body made Jane feel bad.

"Madam, relax. It's not the New Year yet. Master Duncan will definitely wake up by New Year's Eve. He mentioned last month that he will give you a big red packet."

Lainey poured Jane a cup of tea.

It was said that true sentiments are seen in hard times. Lainey had understood it since Mr. Duncan had fainted. Madam had been worried all the time.

"Only if he could wake up."

Jane's eyes turned red. She turned around and sniffed.

Master Duncan was extremely good to the female lead, even better than to Dayton.

Every year after Jane moved in, she got a red packet from Collin. Master Duncan was just like any other parent. He secretly went to the bank to queue up for consecutive serial number banknotes as New Year's money for her.

Money was more than a number. It was a show of love.

During the first several days of Collin's coma, Jane had been optimistic. She went to the ward a few times a day, hoping that he would wake up.

As time went by, Collin looked worse and worse. His muscles had shrunk a bit. Although he was out of danger, he refused to open his eyes.

She didn't dare to go out because she was afraid that Collin would wake up and couldn't see her when she was away.

William was busy with his work. Dayton was at kindergarten hence someone had to stay home.

After the shareholders' meeting, Jane became a trending topic and the media all wanted to give her an exclusive interview, but she refused all.

The work of the jewelry company was done by mail.

"Madam, Miss Rich called just now. She wants to invite you to a spa club."

Lainey patted Jane on the shoulder. Jane had shut herself in for more than a week, she needed going out to relax.

It was cold these days which was bad for her health. A spa would do her good.

"Miss Rich, Pearl Rich?"

Jane turned on her phone and found that her phone was dead. It might be that Pearl called her first but failed then she called the Duncan's.

She didn't want to go, but Pearl had already set a time and place.

Then she thought about how strange Pearl acted last time when they talked about Collin. She narrowed her eyes and decided to go.

"Lainey, please take good care of grandpa when I'm away. You need to give him a leg massage this afternoon."

As long as Jane was home, she would do it herself. She had learned all this from the doctors. But when she needed to go out and wasn't sure when she would be back, she could only ask for Lainey's help.

"Don't worry, madam. I know how to do it."

Lainey watched Jane's car leave the door and sighed, "Master Duncan, wake up, please. It's so depressing now."

...

In-car navigation helped her find the way to the place Pearl told her, XF Women's Spa Club.

There was a flower basket at the entrance. The place didn't look big, at least not a place where rich girls would often meet and hang out.

Jane arrived half an hour earlier, but Pearl was already waiting inside.

"Janie. Let me call you like this."

Pearl had the waiter serve tea and fruit plates then she poured tea for Jane.

They used to go to the same school. Pearl didn't like Jane being weak and brainless, but after the shareholders' meeting, she suddenly changed her view of Jane.

Time changes everything.

No matter what one was like, one would change one day.

"Sure."

Jane looked around and found that the decoration of this women's clubhouse looked exceptionally elegant.

"This clubhouse is soft-opening. It's not officially open yet."

Pearl stood up and closed the door, "It's just you and me."
