Free Web NovelChapter 1547: Chapter 1547: Finn Morgan Speaks Frankly
Trevor drove with one hand, looking straight ahead. Actually, he and Janelle were in a better situation than Jocelyn and Dr. Shelby.
Everyone was well aware that if the drunken Jocelyn Morgan were sent back to the Morgan family, the elders would have an even worse impression of Dr. Shelby.
On the other hand, if Dr. Shelby took Jocelyn back to his own home, the Morgan elders would certainly come looking for Dr. Shelby’s place the next day, which would be unimaginable...
So going to Trevor’s home was the safest option.
Night, at the Morgan family home.
In the living room, Jasmine dialed Dr. Shelby’s phone repeatedly, but he just wouldn’t answer, leaving her seething with anger!
"How can he be so rude?! In an age where phones never leave our sides, he still doesn’t take my calls!!"
Despite her anger, Jasmine’s thoughts turned anxious, "Hailey, do you think they could have eloped?!"
"Mom, maybe he’s in the operating room? He is a doctor, have you considered that possibility?"
Hailey Hale, heavily pregnant, comforted her, "Dr. Shelby wouldn’t elope. He runs a big hospital. He’s not that irresponsible."
But Jasmine was extremely worried, both agitated and angry, "Jocelyn’s phone has been off all this time, and Ian hasn’t been answering either. Something must have happened, it’s not normal."
Seeing her mother-in-law’s anxiety, Hailey felt that letting Jocelyn go out this morning was inappropriate, and she felt terribly guilty, also worried about Jocelyn Morgan’s safety. Why on earth is her phone turned off?!
For a moment, Hailey didn’t know what to say, just furrowed her brows slightly, silently staying by her mother-in-law’s side.
Just then, a car’s headlights shone in from the yard. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
After finishing work at Kingston Group, Finn Morgan, who had just returned to his family’s company, was finally back.
As soon as he entered the living room, he sensed the strange atmosphere tonight. Upon asking, he learned about Jocelyn Morgan’s situation and how she had left in the morning and still hadn’t returned. freēwēbnovel.com
Finn could feel his mother’s anxiety and urgency. He hugged his wife’s shoulders, then said to his mother in a relaxed tone, "What’s there to worry about? It’s better than her being missing, isn’t it? At least we know she’s still alive. Do you really want to drive her crazy?"
"..." Jasmine’s chest rose slightly, turning slowly to look at her son, "Am I forcing her? I’m worried about her!"
Finn met his mother’s gaze, nodded, and spoke softly, "You did. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have left using scissors against her throat. This home... no longer provides her support and warmth."
Is that so?
Jasmine pondered her son’s words, suddenly feeling as if her heart was being torn apart, "I’m just afraid..." Her voice trembled slightly, "I’m afraid she’s not happy..." She was genuinely very anxious.
"When she and Dr. Shelby are apart, she’s unhappy; when she’s with Dr. Shelby, she feels happiness." Finn told his mother, "The happiness you envision won’t make her happy. True happiness requires her to feel it herself."
"..." Jasmine tightly pursed her lips, her back stiffening unconsciously.
She listened to some of what her son said this evening.
Hailey gently tugged at Finn, hoping he wouldn’t speak so bluntly, despite the truth.
But Finn patted his mother’s shoulder, "Give them some time and space. Anyway, there’s no talk of marriage now. Leave it to time. If she’s unhappy, she’ll come back herself."
Then Finn turned his gaze, "Honey, come with me," leading her upstairs.
Hailey really wanted to help Jocelyn because she was also young and the kind of woman who could throw caution to the wind for love.
It’s love; isn’t it such a rare encounter in the world?
Missing it might mean never encountering it again in a lifetime. Marrying just for convenience, marrying for suitability—how bleak would life be?
