Chapter 446 - Instant Noodles

Collin heard all these from the nurses around him, so he didn't it seriously. The gossip might be half true and half false, but it had nothing to do with him. However, he didn't expect that he would get involved soon.

As Jaquan asked Collin to take care of Eliot, he introduced everyone close to Eliot to Colin, including Emily, Sydnee, Lynn, and some of Eliot's classmates and old friends.

Collin got a cold, so he stayed at home these two days. He had nothing to do, so he went through the news about the Britts. The entire world of the Britts turned topsy-turvy after Maury died. Emily kidnapped Kamron, the only son of the Heytons. Later, Jackson Heyton personally came to the Britt's to ask for forgiveness. Soon after, Emily visited Kamron at the hospital. Emily held a shareholders' meeting of the Britt Group and announced that she inherited the Britt Group and became its new president ... These reports were half true and half false. Collin just flipped them through.

Collin did not judge, but he believed the last one was fake news. How could a young girl who was just eighteen years old inherited the company, let alone become the president? It was said that she didn't even go to school. How could nobody object to that? Only if every shareholder was drugged, they would agree with that ridiculous decision.

Collin had a hazy memory that Emily had a sister called Elsie Britt. It was said that Elsie got a bachelor's degree in business management. She should be a fit to be the president of the Britt Group, but why did Emily take that position instead of her?

Of course, Colin just read to kill some time. The reports were fun stories to him and he didn't take them seriously. Not until he saw Eliot at the ward, did he realize that the characters in the stories were real despite all these half-truths.

"Doctor Mueller."

Collin came to himself. He saw Sydnee coming in. She was holding a warm-keeping kettle in hand, and there was probably pork chop soup in it.

She put the kettle on the table and came to Eliot. She took a look at him, and then she began to gently knead his stiff arm. Lynn only dared to see Eliot when Sydnee was with her. Lynn was afraid that Eliot would wake up as she kneaded. If so, she would feel guilty and uneasy because she didn't have the gut to face him alone.

"It takes a hundred days to recover from injuries. If he takes a good rest in the next three months, he can use his leg again. Don't worry." Before leaving, Collin comforted Sydnee.

Sydnee nodded. She sent him to the door and came back to the ward.

Then Collin went to Director Lucas, Eliot's attending. He had a quick chat about Eliot's recovery with Director Lucas and thanked him. After that, Colin went downstairs.

Collin thought that he should give Director Lucas some gifts the next time he came, so he took out his phone and called Jaquan.

"Absolutely. What about classy tea leaves? What does Director Lucas like?" Jaquan sounded very generous. "Whatever you choose, I'll buy it."

Collin took off his mask and took a breath of fresh air at the entrance of the hospital. Afterward, he put on his mask and said, "You are so generous. If I pick something, I'll ask you for the money."

"Alright."

"Wait a moment," Collin asked before Jaquan hung up. "Didn't you tell Emma I was ill?"

Jaquan gritted his teeth. "What? You still want her to see you? No way!"

Collin paused for a while, "... Jaquan, sometimes you are really childish."

"Hold back your nasty thoughts. If I know you sneak up on Emma ..."

Collin interrupted him, "I fall in love with someone else. Really. I told you yesterday. Today I meet her again. I meet her twice in two days. What a wonderful fate ..."

As expected, Jaquan got interested in that. "Do you get her phone number?"

"No."

Jaquan was speechless for a while and he said, "You wouldn't think that you would meet her again in the hospital, would you? Then you two would say hello in a crowd of people on a drip. 'You got a cold, too.' 'Yes. What a coincidence!'"

Collin was quite expectant when Jaquan described their greeting like that. "Believe it or not, I have a deep impression of her. Her voice is very sexy, like Jess Glynne's smoky voice."

"Collin, have you been pushing your feelings down for too long?" Jaquan sneered, "Otherwise, why are you starting to miss her voices so soon?"

Collin said, "... I'm not as vulgar as you think."

Jaquan still remembered that Colin said Emma's voice was sexy, so he had given to outburst of temper, "Wait and see. Sooner or later, I'll beat you to death."

Collin wanted to hang up now.

He looked up and saw Emily getting off of a car. Before Collin could beckon to her he saw a man hold her back into the car with his hand on her head.

Collin's mind was in a whirl and he said to the other end of the phone in a daze, "I think I see Vincent."

"What?" Jaquan thought that was strange, "Was he at the hospital?"

"With Emily," Collin added.

Jaquan understood now. Probably Vincent took Emily to see Eliot, but he wouldn't get out of the car. Even if he was seen, it wouldn't be a big deal.

"They must talk about the business cooperation."

"Why did they kiss?" Collin asked, deadpan.

Jaquan was speechless.

"Why didn't you tell me Vincent was in love with Emily? No wonder you asked me to take care of Eliot. Now I got it." Collin was angry. "How could you keep that from me?"

Jaquan coughed, "They don't like doing a public display of affection."

"You're right. They never kiss each other at the entrance of the hospital."

" ... Old virgin, you should try to understand."

Collin snorted, "Sorry, I never have a relationship. I can't understand."

Jaquan didn't know how to say.

Collin and Jaquan argued with each other for more than ten minutes before the call ended.

On the way back, Collin met that 'Jess Glynne' again. She took off her glasses and leaned her head against the window of a taxi. She was still wearing a mask. Collin wondered why he could recognize her with a glance. That was very strange.

Perhaps it was because she got dark shadows under her eyes, or because of her eyes. He could tell if they were happy, moved or sad from many people's eyes, whether it be bright eyes or dark eyes.

But he couldn't tell from hers. Her eyes were empty.

Collin was sure that the moment he told her that there was a seat, although her gaze fell on his face, she did not look at him at all, or she just took a quick glance at him which couldn't enable her to remember how he looked like.

It was not because she ignored everything. It was an indifferent feeling coming out of her that made her eyes look empty and hollow.

Collin drove to the supermarket. Mrs. Cox lived at Jaquan's house these days. At dinner time, she would ask Professor Cox to send him some fish soup and pork chop soup. Collin thought Mrs. Cox was too hospitable, so he wanted to buy twenty kilograms of chops in return.

Colin bought some meat and vegetables. Mrs. Cox's leg was injured for a long time. Although there was no need for Mrs. Cox to put her leg in plaster, she could not go far. Collin assumed it was hard for Professor Cox to buy some food that satisfied Mrs. Cox. He filled the shopping cart with food and took a box of candy before paying the bill.

From afar, he saw 'Jess Glynne' waiting in line.

Collin couldn't help but laugh. What a fate! When he saw what was in the woman's shopping cart, his smile gradually disappeared.

Instant noodles, instant coffee, instant noodles, and instant coffee.

Looking over, there were also some sausages under the instant noodles, but clearly, she picked much more instant noodles, so it was hard to notice those sausages.

Collin sighed. 'Forget it, this damn fate ends here.' He didn't like a woman who took instant noodles as meals every day.

Moreover...

He glanced at that woman again. She was thin, making her clothes look even looser.

'That's for sure.. Don't expect some sort of big nutritional enhancement with instant noodles.'
