In the hospital room, the doctor had just finished examining Janice and was instructing her family on care procedures.

Seeing me walk in with a broad grin, Janice gave me a wave. The medical staff, seeing this, reminded us not to overexert ourselves and then exited the room.

I approached Janice's bedside. She looked at me, still weak, and asked, "By the look on your face, I guess you have some good news?"

I nodded at Janice, then turned to Gevena before I replied, "The overseas deal is done. The payment has come through!"

Gevena's face instantly lighted up like a bright summer day, "Fantastic! We sisters have won our first battle!"

Janice also smiled, her face illuminated with the first resplendent smile of the day, "Aaliyah, I see hope now. I will pursue my sister's case, and I don't believe Irving is innocent!"

Gevena quickly reassured her, "Your main task now is to get well soon. Don't forget, you have a baby now!"

Baber, also with a grin, looked at Janice with doting eyes, patting her cheek, "Get well soon! You have me! I won't let you fight alone this time!"

Suddenly, I got a vision of Ronan. I had to admit, there was something very alluring about a man's protective words.

At this moment, I understood why Janice chose Baber. She was the wisest woman.

Those who truly cared for their wives were the real men. And Baber was definitely powerful. He could bring Janice much more than just safety and glory.

"By the way," I continued, "Irving was bragging to me earlier that he and Jaylan are working closely together to become the biggest shareholder of Medsafe Liyah Inc. There's a celebration tonight at their headquarters, we'll find out then if their collaboration is genuine." I don't hide this news from Janice.

Gevena pondered for a moment, "So you're going back for the party, aren't you?"

"Yes, but I can leave Hannah here to take care of Janetta!" I quickly offered.

Janice immediately responded, "That won't be necessary. I hired two reliable nurses yesterday. They should be here any moment now. Also, Baber, fearing I would worry, has made our home caretaker here. That should be enough!"

"Good. Dr. Dailey, whom Catherine found, also promised to ensure Janetta's safety and arrange everything for us." I then looked at Catherine, "Catherine, you take care of this!"

"No problem! Leave it to me!" Catherine immediately assured.

"I won't stay longer then. I need to get going. There's a lot to do. I need to prepare for the celebration tonight." I bid farewell to Janice and Gevena casually, "Once I finish with all the work tonight, I'll come and see you tomorrow. Call me if you need anything!"

"Don't worry! Gevena, could you see Aaliyah off?" Janice looked at Gevena.

"Mr. Forrest, I'll take my leave now. Congratulations on becoming a father! It's going to be quite a journey!" I teased Baber as I turn to leave.

As expected, Baber smiled broadly, his eyes gleaming, "Thanks! I'm very happy! I'll try my best!"

Catherine followed me out, saying she wanted to check on Janetta's room one more time before leaving.

When we returned to Janetta's room, the nurses Janice arranged had already arrived. The caretaker and Catherine knew each other and started exchanging pleasantries. Hannah and I, not wanting to delay any further, made our exit.

As soon as we left the hospital, Ronan's call came in. I was surprised at how timely his call was.

I answered and he immediately asked, "Have you left the hospital?"

I was taken aback. How did he know I had just left?

I teased at him, "Have you gained a superpower? You knew the moment I left!"

He chuckled, "You're not wrong, I'm keeping a close eye on you. Can't let you out of my sight."

His words pleased me and I couldn't help but smile, my cheek slightly red. His words set my mind racing, my heart pounding.

"Erm... I'm on my way home. Jaylan finally signed the deal and there's a celebration tonight. I need to get ready!" I changed the subject to hide my embarrassment.
