Chapter 1128: Chapter 1155: Gentlemen and Villains (5)

He was anxious, and naturally, Butler Jackson was too, but Lilian Jackson wasn’t worried at all.

She had just returned to the country and had been dating Sean Potter for a while, although it couldn’t really be called dating, just a brief fling. Who would have thought, after a few months together, Sean showed a side of himself that she just couldn’t accept.

Lilian was too tired to deal with him anymore, so she had Ridge Peterson clean up the mess for her. These past two years, she’s been single.

Firstly, work was busy.

Their hospital was just starting out, and every aspect required effort.

Secondly, she couldn’t let go of Koa Jackson.

She had liked him since she was a child. You could say she’s had him in her heart since childhood. How could one let go of such an obsession, especially when Koa Jackson chose Mia Ginger, whom she detested intensely?

Mia already bore the identity of Aiden Jiang’s daughter, which she didn’t like to begin with.

Then, when she learned about Mia’s upbringing, she looked down on Mia from the bottom of her heart. Who could have imagined that the girl she looked down on would so quickly capture Koa Jackson’s heart, bizarrely reunite with her biological mother, and become the biological daughter of Aiden Jiang and Aurora Cooper.

How could she calmly accept when someone she despised suddenly gained such a status?

Every time she saw Koa Jackson, she felt indignant.

She had been staying outside and hadn’t been back for days, but upon hearing about Mia Ginger’s pregnancy, she couldn’t control herself and came back, realizing that her actions were sheer self-torture.

The old man doted on Mia Ginger meticulously, and Koa Jackson spoiled her beyond measure. Even Lydia Williams, who had never behaved like a good stepmother, went out of her way to invite a nutrition expert from abroad for her?

Was it necessary?

All that fuss for a pregnancy, treating her like a panda.

And in contrast, she felt she had little chance of becoming a mother in her lifetime; who could she blame?

Lilian Jackson clenched her teeth in hatred, yet maintained a gentle smile on her face as she exchanged a few words with Daniella Jackson. Just as she was about to speak to Koa Jackson, he left with Mia Ginger.

Daniella Jackson stood up saying, "I’m going back to my room to rest for a bit."

"Mm, go ahead," Lilian Jackson replied with a smile, staying alone in the living room.

In a short while—

Butler Jackson, having settled the old man in, came out to find her.

It was about her not getting married yet.

Unexpectedly—

Despite his earnest advice, Lilian seemed not to have heard at all and suddenly asked, "Did Koa quit his job at the Fourth Hospital?"

"Yes," Butler Jackson replied gently, "Given his status, he naturally couldn’t remain a doctor for long. He liked it, but the old man wouldn’t allow it. Didn’t you hear earlier? They are already preparing to build a hospital, with the first phase of investment at three billion."

"..."

Lilian Jackson was stunned for a moment, speechless.

She truly didn’t know how much wealth Koa Jackson possessed; she only knew it was unimaginable.

He had a renowned calligrapher as a grandfather, a stunning beauty as a mother, a grandfather of high standing, and a father of immense wealth. Whether on his mother’s side or father’s side, both families had flourished for over a hundred years, what was left for him was immeasurable.

Previously, he had humbly worked as just a doctor, attracting countless people in the circle who wanted to curry favor.

And now they were planning to build a hospital?

Knowing that it had caught the old man’s interest, it was apparent that this hospital couldn’t be compared to her three-story small hospital.

Moreover—

She only owned a third of that hospital anyway.
