The short message that had just been sent, made Mr. Dery start to move from the sofa to immediately withdraw.
Anxiety was evident on her old face after reading a report message from Lian telling her that Jenan was hospitalized for formula poisoning and had to be hospitalized for recovery.
The stupid thing about this rejected matchmaking. For Mr. Dery, Joanna and Jenan's business is much more important.
"I'm sorry, sir. But I have to go home. My grandson is sick."
Everyone followed Mr. Dery's movements, starting to stand up as well.
'What is the grandson in question Joanna's son?'
"Ah sure, sir. I pray that your grandson will recover soon. We can discuss this matter at a later time."
"Thank you, Sir. We'll take care of it."
While Rosa's face seemed stiffened not because of worry, but fear Nurse Yo complained about the incident this afternoon that caused Jenan to be rushed to the hospital.
"Sorry, Om. Can I come with you?"
They were already preparing to leave Soenser's residence but their steps came to a halt as Jean's voice interrupted.
Inviting a confused look everyone, except for Rosa and Lady Anne who already knew their closeness while at the Restaurant this afternoon.
Jean tried to cover up the anxiety that suddenly came enveloping her feelings with a faint smile.
I felt bad since then.
Ja. Jean felt that while she was still arguing with Joanna in the apartment but the man was denial about the feelings that disturbed her mind until Jean understood, the reason behind the anxiety was Jenan.
"Me and Joanna knew each other when we were living in Connecticut, Om. I'm one of Joanna's famous bakery patrons" he said, breaking their suspicions.
Including Rosa and her mother who were not sure of Jean's words just now.
Jean took a quick glance at Rosa, "So can I come see your grandson in the hospital? All of you also want to know the news of Joanna." lied, again.
"But it's night, Arjean. You can visit Jenan tomorrow morning." said Mrs Anne.
So the baby's name is Jenan.
Mistress Anne did not like to see Jean worry about other women while there was Rosa who was holding back jealousy behind her eyes that began to glaze over.
This can't be allowed.
If they meet again, the seed of love between Joanna and Jean will grow.
Mistress Anne was not stupid to be able to understand the meaning of Jean's expectant gaze on her Husband.
Hoping to be allowed to visit Jenan and meet Joanna again.
"It's not too late, Auntie. I'm not busy tomorrow either."
"But Je–"
"Whatever! You can come if you want, Jean. I don't mind about that." concluded Mr. Dery when he saw his wife about to argue again.
Jean smiled at hearing this.
This is in contrast to the reaction of Rosa and her mother who walked ahead of Mr. Dery back there because she was waiting for Jean to take her car keys.
"You guys be careful on the road! Mr. Der, again sorry I can't come. May your grandson heal quickly!"
"It's okay. Enough of his prayers, Mr. David. We're saying good."
"Jean go first, Pa."
"Hm, careful. Don't be so late for home, Je."
"Ready!"
Mr. David stared at their departure with a hard-to-understand look.
Especially so far, Jean has never mentioned about his girlfriend. Most of them were only in contact with Jean as a coworker.
For the rest, Jean is always self-limiting and does not want to be emotionally involved with any woman.
If the young man had spoken, then Joanna was a friend that Jean considered special until she was willing to spend her time visiting Granddaughter Mr. Dery in the hospital.
"Did I miss something between Jean and Mr. Dery's biological daughter?"
...••••...
They immediately entered the room that had been shown by one of the officers there.
Joanna is sitting next to the gurney holding Jenan's sleeping little hand while Nurse Yo is out of nowhere.
Joanna turned her head when she heard the door behind her open.
"Papa."
Joanna hugged her father tightly. Spreading all the feelings in his heart.
One month her father's attitude turned cold but Joanna was convinced that her father didn't really hate her.
Mr. Dery just wanted Joanna to reflect on the mistake.
Even without Joanna knowing, for one month Lian oversaw all her activities from morning to night on the orders of Mr. Dery who was rarely at home and reasoned overtime because he was completing a new project.
Sometimes Mr. Dery comes home just to change clothes, the rest of the— he will sleep in a special room in his office.
"Why did Jenan get poisoned? Where's Nurse Yo? Papa needs to talk to him."
"It's okay. It was an accident, Papa. Nurse Yo I told the cafeteria because she didn't want to eat, I was afraid I'd blame."
"That's his fault! If Jenan didn't fit in with the old formula, Nurse Yo should have told you about this, ck!"
"Before a minute, Papa wants to see Jenan first" he continued.
Which makes Joanna's heart warm again. Although in fact, Joanna never once found her father was rude to Jenan all this time.
BRACKET!
The doorway cushion made Mr. Dery and Joanna stare intently at Rosa's figure without feeling guilty about doing so.
Purposefully.
"Geez! Joanna! Is my nephew okay?"
"Yes, Honey. How's Jenan doing? Mama's worried about you guys."
Joanna did not respond because her gaze was fixed on the figure of Jean standing in the doorway.
Then walk over after Mr. Dery tells him to come in.
"Why are you here?"
They exchanged looks. No one wants to explain it to Joanna.
"Hey. We meet again, Joanna."
"Well, why are you here? Who told you to come? Answer Joanna, Pa?"
"Sorry haven't told me about the matchmaking it–"
Joanna nodded slowly.
"Fuck that match! But why would Papa let anyone else come?"
"He's my future husband. That means he will also be part of our exit." said Rosa.
Is that not what Joanna wants to hear but what is Jean's business to know about Jenan's condition?
Although she was Jenan's father, Joanna never expected more.
"Shut the*****up your mouth! I'm lazy to make a fuss with a demon like you!" reply Joanna cynical.
Joanna does not like to complain like Rosa when there is a problem but Joanna's hatred and emotions are increasingly ignited by Jean's presence here.
"Joanna, we just want to see your son's condition. Why is your response like this?"
"Aunty and Rosa should get out!"
"Johanna!"
"Pa, please understand. My feelings are in a rage. Better get them out before I get really mad."
Jean finally opened her voice.
"Let me see Jenan's condition. Just a little while ago after that I'll go ..."
Joanna fell silent and let Jean walk over to her son's gurney, "He's handsome!"
'And it looked a lot like me when I was a kid.'
"Have you? Get out! I just need Papa to accompany me here."
Not wanting to cause a commotion, Mistress Anne and Rosa rushed out.
They were sick of being there for too long let alone seeing the sight of Jean who did not stop stealing glances towards Joanna who was even completely reluctant to glance at her.
"We'll wait outside, Der."
And a nod of the head by Mr. Dery.
He is also very tired after working directly to take care of the matchmaking and now has to accompany Joanna in the hospital to look after Jenan.
"Mama see? Jean loved Joanna! The vow! I don't want my future husband to be taken by that cheap woman!"
"His pretentiousness rejected Jean but in fact Joanna was itchy! Just be careful if he dares to complain to Papa if I am the— ish! Mama didn't hear me talk, huh?"
"Mommy's tired of hearing you keep nagging today!"
"I was more tired of seeing Mama do nothing to defend me earlier." she protested in annoyance.
"We think of another way to make Joanna and her child suffer."
Rosa gave off an evil smile.
"It should! We also shop! I'm gonna go get some skincare and a bag this week's edition."
"Yes, Honey. As long as there's your Papa's black card, it's safe!"
