Stupefied, Wendy responded, “No, I’m always either at the company or at home. My life revolves around these two places. How could I offend someone? What happened?”
Julian’s expression became more serious. However, he was a smart man. He knew what he could tell Wendy, and what he could not. He smiled and responded, “It’s nothing. I was just asking. I dirtied the apple just now, so I’ll take another one. Wait for a moment.”
Julian picked up another apple. He then turned around and left the ward.
Wendy’s mind wandered as she watched Julian’s silhouette.
After walking out of the ward, Julian pulled out his phone and called Jasper immediately.
“Jasper, it’s me, Julian.
“Ms. Schuler came over to the hospital to visit my sister…Yes, her surgery is over…Yep, it was a major success. Thank you for your concern, Jasper…
“Jasper, I discovered that someone was stalking Ms. Schuler just now. That person was extremely alert. He ran away once he noticed me. I was worried that they had something else up their sleeves, so I didn’t go after him and came back to ensure Ms. Schuler’s safety.”
Jasper had just bid Dawson goodbye when he received Julian’s call. He was on the way home at the time.
After listening to what Julian said, Jasper asked the driver to head over to the Province General Hospital immediately. “You made the right choice. Don’t do anything for now. I’ll head over right away. Let’s talk after I arrive,” he told Julian.
When Jasper arrived at the hospital, Julian was guarding Wendy closely in the ward.
“Jasper,” Julian called out as he walked in front of him.
Jasper nodded as he patted Julian on the shoulder. He turned around to smile at Wendy and then walked in front of Cathy.
“Don’t say anything. Just lie down and rest,” Jasper said. He leaned down to press her back onto the bed after seeing her struggle to say something.
“You don’t need to think of anything else. Julian is working by my side now. We have a pretty close relationship. Wendy told me that you have quite the talent in management as well. After you recover, I intend to let you lead the company’s logistics department.
“This position comes with grueling responsibilities, so you must get well soon.”
Jasper told her this in a joking manner. He then turned around to face Wendy. “Why are you here?” He asked.
“I should be asking you that, right?” Wendy asked as she cast a glance at Julian. Julian must have discovered something. He must have hid it from her and told Jasper instead.
“I just stopped by on the way to pay someone a visit,” Jasper said with a smile.
“You’ve been so busy these past few days. I was afraid you’d forget, so I came over to pay Cathy a visit on behalf of the both of us,” Wendy explained.
Jasper nodded and said, “Wait for me here. Julian, let’s go out for a smoke.”
After speaking, Jasper attempted to walk out of the ward.
“Stand right there,” Wendy said, wrapping her arms around him. She looked Jasper in the eye and said, “You rarely smoke. If there’s something, you should just tell me face to face. Am I not allowed to know about this?”
Jasper smiled at her bitterly. He knew that there was no way he could hide something from the brilliant Wendy Schuler.
Although Wendy rarely expressed her opinions in front of Jasper, she was the one who made most of the company decisions when he was not around.
She was skilled in business management. Since she was capable of running a large company well, it went without saying that she was not someone that could be fooled easily.
After flashing a meaningful glance at Julian, Jasper took his place by Wendy’s side. They were not going to talk outside anymore.
“Ms. Schuler, I just found out that someone was stalking you. There were at least three people. They exhibited a high degree of professionalism, and they seemed to be imbued with a strong sense of purpose,” Julian said.
“They exhibited a high degree of professionalism?”
Jasper’s brows knitted together once he heard what Julian said. He replied in a low voice, “Tell me exactly what happened.”
