Chapter 125: HAILEE'S WORRY

A call from Dillon interrupted Aidan's reverie and he glanced back at the bathroom door. Looks like Giana will still be busy for the next few minutes.

"Giana, can you hear me?" Dillon asked again, because Giana had not answered his calls nor had she uttered a word since the moment she picked up the phone.

"What news will Hailee Tatum release?" Aidan finally decided to open his mouth, to find out more about the extent to which Giana had investigated the Tatum family.

It's just that, Aidan's guess was a mistake, because Giana was not at all interested in knowing about the affair between Aidan and Zia.

It was the rest of the Tatum family who caught her eye.

============== 

Hailee finished breakfast with no passion and rushed back to Ramon's ward once she had finished half of her meal, forcing Lexus to come with her or he could stay in the cafeteria alone.

Of course, being in public alone is not a pleasant choice for Lexus and inevitably, he ended up following Hailee back to Ramon's room.

Though he was grumbling along the corridor, but at least, the younger Donovan still had a concern for his brother.

Once they reached the ward, Hailee checked on Ramon's still asleep condition and after confirming that her future husband was fine and his fever had gone down, she decided to take a shower, leaving Lexus, who was sitting on the sofa, playing his favorite games, to watch over Ramon. 

It was ten o'clock precisely, when Lis came to the hospital and immediately bombarded Hailee and Lexus with various questions regarding Ramon's condition. 

Even then, Ramon was still asleep.

Hailee then recounted what happened the day before, when she found Ramon in the morning with a high fever when she wanted to deliver breakfast for him. Then she also said all the details that Dr. Bram told her last night, when Ramon's condition worsened again.

Ramon should have been sent back this morning, but last night's incident required him to rest a little longer in the hospital and this of course wouldn't make the man happy at all when he came to his senses later.

Since the accident that caused his amnesia, Ramon particularly didn't like to be in the hospital.

On the other hand, Lis listened carefully, the wrinkles between her eyebrows didn't disappear from the moment Hailee started telling her all that until the last detail.

The worry was clearly reflected in Lis's eyes.

Of course, which mother would not be worried about finding her son in the aftermath of the accident that nearly claimed his life?

No one would be surprised if Dr. Bram said that this was a side effect of the hit Ramon received to his head, which caused him to lose his memory.

However, how bad are the side effects? Will this affect Ramon's life?

That question made them all anxious and impatient as well as afraid while waiting for Dr. Bram to explain it all to them clearly.

Meanwhile, Lis could only sit on the edge of the bed, staring at her son with a tired face.

============== 

"Giana, are you really going to do this?" Dillon stopped the car across the street, right in front of the hospital, where Ramon was being treated. He wasn't sure whether it was the right decision to bring Giana to this place or not, but this woman was really stubborn and couldn't be brought to a discussion with a cold head.

Dillon knew that once Giana was determined to do something, she would pursue it until she got it done. 

In any way.

"Take me inside Dillon and stop asking questions that are completely unimportant," Giana growled irritably when she heard Dillon's constant nagging.

Giana didn't know why Dillon, as her personal assistant, lately had been restricting her freedom in doing things, too often.

The only reason why Giana hadn't published news about Hailee's engagement to Theodore Gevano was because of Dillon, who withheld the news and forced her to rethink what she was going to do.

Like Giana would just listen to him...

How could Giana give up such a golden opportunity to cause some trouble to Hailee?

Dillon was right when he said that Giana would not let Hailee go because she dared to ignore her warning and her offer on the night of the party.

"Giana, a woman as smart as you should know when you have to stop risking your position like this," Dillon sighed impatiently. "If the media finds out about your visit, they will dig deeper into your relationship with Ramon."

That was a bad thing. No. That would be a disaster. 

Dillon now turned his body so that he could face the stubborn woman sitting beside him.

"What would you do if the public found out about the affair between you and Ramon?" Dillon narrowed his eyes, wanting to know the reaction Giana would give him after he told that fact.

However, what made the man utterly speechless was the indifference that was still deeply imprinted on Giana's face as she answered in a relaxed tone.

"Maybe, I should use that method to stop the marriage of the two of them. Maybe, just maybe, afterward Ramon remembers about our past." Giana shrugged her shoulders, her eyes fixed on the road in front of her, completely paying no attention to the sharp gaze Dillon was giving her.

Next to her, Dillon gasped when he heard what Giana was saying. He knew that Giana wouldn't be that stupid to get herself into such trouble, but Dillon also knew that Giana was desperate enough to do stupid things in situations that she concluded were not in her favor.

Giana tended to take extreme steps in solving problems that seemed difficult for her to go through and Dillon didn't want to know how far Giana was willing to go in this regard.

"Giana, you are not serious while saying this, are you?" Dillon really couldn't understand how he could get involved in Giana's messy life too deeply.

Like a personal assistant, Dillon should only do what Giana told him to do.

However, somehow he couldn't see this woman sinking any further in her own dangerous game.

"Stop lecturing me and get me in there right away, or do you want me to get down here and grab a little more attention?" This time Giana threatened, her hands already on the door handle, ready to step outside and expose herself.

However, Dillon's next words literally made Giana freeze in her seat and for a moment she forgot what she was going to do.

And making up thoughts about Ramon's condition that had been haunting her head since this morning, also flew out of her subconscious.

"When I called you this morning, Aidan picked up my call and he found out about Hailee Tatum," Dillon finally told Giana.

Giana was silent for a moment, before she shifted her gaze from the road, to the man beside her and stared at him fiercely.

"What do you mean?!" Giana's voice demanded an explanation from Dillon, about the extent to which Aidan came to know about Hailee Tatum, or how much information Dillon had carelessly passed on to her husband.

"He knows about Hailee's plan to expose the news about her adoptive sister. Aileen Tatum." Dillon stopped talking, as he tried to digest the facial expression that Giana was showing him.

"So, what did he ask?" Giana's voice almost sounded like hissing when she asked.

"Aidan asked why you were interested in knowing what Hailee Tatum was up to," Dillon replied. "Then I said that you wanted to make a business relationship with the Tatum family, because you two are engaged in the same field."

Yes, that's right, because the Dawson family's business is also in the jewelery sector, where Giana's mother is a well- known jewelry designer in the city of A.

"Then what else did he ask? What else did you say to Aidan?" Giana bit her lower lip and clenched her fists tightly, until her knuckles turned white.

"Nothing, he just ended the phone call after that." Dillon was telling the truth.

However, anyone who knew Aidan would know that the Smith family's heir would not just ignore this fact. He had his own ways to find out more about the issue between Giana and Hailee Tatum.

Meanwhile, Giana could feel her heart beating faster, when she heard this. She lived with Aidan long enough to know that her husband wouldn't just stop there.

Aidan will find out more about this and what Giana didn't like was when Aidan decided to get involved in her business.

Their domestic life would only get more complicated than it already was.

It was bad and it would turn bad if Giana kept doing thing that she wanted to do recklessly. 

"Therefore ..." Dillon said gravely, trying to take this opportunity to get Giana to rethink what she was going to do now. "Think again about what you're going to do next. You will not only destroy the Smith family, but also the Dawson family's reputation if the media got a whiff of your visit to this hospital."

"So what?" Giana asked Dillon bitterly. "Aidan can have an affair with any woman he wants, so why can't I do the same?" Her beautiful eyes flashed angrily at Dillon.

"You want to know why?" Dillon asked curtly, this time his tone rose several octaves to match Giana's stubbornness. "Because Aidan could cover up the affair that he had cleanly and you clearly want to make it public!"

Giana gritted her molars, but she didn't retort Dillon's words, because she knew what her personal assistant said was true.

And Dillon knew that he was right for sure.

"You are ruining your own life this way," Dillon ended his sentence, this time on a softer note.

He could not understand how a brilliant and smart woman like Giana could make stupid decisions that could endanger herself.

"I do not care!" Snapped Giana angrily. "Now, take me inside or I will get off here myself!"

Giana looked at Dillon with a defiant gaze.

"Giana, we were just discussing this and are you really going to do it?" Dillon asked in disbelief.

"Listen," Giana stressed that single word considerably, forcing her interlocutor to pay close attention to what she was going to say after this. "You are only my personal assistant and don't have any right to forbid anything I want to do. So, drive this car to the damn hospital so I can meet Ramon!"

Giana's words this time really hurt Dillon's pride, but what he said was true and Dillon couldn't argue with her anymore.

Giana also knew that and she would regret it later.

However, for now, the only thing she wanted to do was meet Ramon. Although she knew Hailee and Lexus would likely be there too.
