Ja Jiang couldn't help but hesitate for a moment and then looked at Andrew Li with some concern. She hadn't confessed about the incident when Nora went missing last time. But it probably couldn't be hidden from this man. With these thoughts in mind, Ja Jiang hesitated and said, "It's probably because I helped her before. Last time she went missing, I found her."
Edison Qin didn't expect this, he looked at Nora, then back at Ja Jiang, and said with emotion, "You two really have a connection."
A connection? Ja Jiang thought about Nora's identity and, with a hint of self-deprecation, lifted her lips and looked casually, "Maybe."
Edison Qin didn't notice her peculiarities and suggested, "Since my grandfather still needs another hour, why don't we go downstairs and wait, have a drink, and rest a bit? You've been through a lot, Doctor Jiang."
Seeing him changing the subject, Ja Jiang inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief and agreed without expressing her opinion.
Andrew Li walked directly around the hospital bed to take action as his response. He was about to pick up Nora but noticed that the little girl didn't seem interested in him. After Nora handed a handkerchief to Ja Jiang, she had stayed by her side. Now, when she heard they were going downstairs, she instinctively reached out, wanting to hold the beautiful aunt's hand. The last time they met, the beautiful aunt held her hand like this.
Just as her little hand was about to touch Ja Jiang's hand, a cell phone rang in the room. Ja Jiang turned to her bag to get the phone, and her fingertip accidentally brushed against Nora's hand as she reached for it.
Nora, who had finally gathered the courage, reached out her hand, but it touched emptiness. She blinked slowly, her face gradually showing some disappointment. She lowered her gaze and started playing with her own fingers.
Andrew Li, watching from the sidelines, saw the missed connection between the two and his eyes darkened slightly.
Ja Jiang picked up her phone, glanced at the caller ID, and saw that it was Ava Xi calling. Tonight, because she had an appointment at the Qin family, she had entrusted the two little ones to her best friend.
Thinking her children might be in trouble, Ja Jiang quickly answered the call. However, as she slid her finger across the screen, she accidentally turned on the speakerphone.
Ja Jiang didn't notice this and said, "Hello?"
The next second, two soft and sweet voices echoed in the air, "Mommy, when are you coming back?"
Ja Jiang was startled and quickly covered the speaker while turning off the speakerphone. The voices of the two little ones disappeared.
Despite this, Ja Jiang still felt her heart beating wildly, and she looked at Andrew Li on the side with apprehension, using her peripheral vision.
Her first reaction was to be afraid that Andrew Li knew about the existence of the two little ones.
Andrew Li's face, on the other hand, turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and his gaze became even colder.
He had clearly heard the voices from the other end of the phone. It was a little boy calling Ja Jiang "Mommy."
This woman was married?
Realizing this, a surge of overwhelming anger erupted from the depths of his heart. Andrew Li clenched his teeth tightly and forced himself to stay calm. Only by doing so could he restrain the impulse to corner this woman and interrogate her!
Edison Qin was completely unaware of the underlying tension between the two of them and casually commented, "Dr. Jiang, you're already married?"
Ja Jiang, whose mind was in turmoil, nodded absentmindedly.
Seeing her response, Edison Qin smiled and remarked, "I can't believe you even have children. It's really surprising."
Ja Jiang apologized, "I'm sorry, I have to take a call."
With that, without looking at Andrew Li's expression anymore, she left the room.
