RedNovelChapter 1129 Whispers in the Hospital
"Oh, | get it now," Jude remarked casually as he strolled into the room, wearing a smirk that didn't escape Anthony's notice.
Taking a seat opposite him, he continued, "I thought you were so riled up today because Colin outshone you at thepany that
you wanted to strangle my dear Mom."
With a calm gesture, Jude adjusted the blanket on Dorothy, his grin widening as he met Anthony's gaze. "You might want to be
careful with those neck massages in the future. If Mom turns up strangled one day, you won't have a convincing alibi."
Anthony maintained his steely gaze, his lips pressed into a tight line.
e on, Dad," Jude pressed on, his voice laced with nonchalance.
Leaning back in his chair, he continued, "Rumor has it the morning meeting was quite the showdown."
"And let's face it, my biological brothers just can'tpete with Colin."
His smile faded, and Jude's eyes took on a hint of seriousness as he looked at Anthony. "It looks like you're teetering on the edge of

After a grueling day at the office, Colin's first destination was the hospital.
With the whirlwind of yesterday's wedding and today's intense meeting, he hadn't seen Dorothy in two days.
"Coles," she greeted softly.
Jude, rising from his seat on the sofa in Dorothy's private ward, inquired, "Are you here to visit Mom?"
"Yeah," Colin nodded, shedding his coat as he approached Dorothy. Sitting beside her, he took her hand gently. "Aunt Dorothy, it
was my debut day at the office, and | didn't disappoint!"
"The two assistants rmended by my brother are absolute gems," he added with a smile.
"Just wait until you hear this - one of them, an extraordinary man named Lennon, honed his talents under none other than Damien
himself!" Colin's excitement was palpable as he spoke, his gestures bing more animated.
He couldn't help but notice Dorothy's fingers twitch slightly at the mention of Damien's name.
He assumed her interest was piqued and delved deeper into the subject, his enthusiasm fueling his ramblings about Damien.
"This guy is a true prodigy," Colin remarked, admiration evident in his voice.
"Despite our uncanny resemblance, his talent eclipses mine by a mile," he continued, his brow furrowing in contemplation.
"Lennon shared that at the age of eight, he lost his parents in a car crash..." Colin paused, a sense of realization dawning on him.
"It's quite the coincidence," he mused, "we share the stragic past—our parents also perished in a car accident when we were
eight."
"The twists of fate in this world are truly mind-boggling," Colin concluded, marveling at the interconnectedness of their lives.
Jude couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he concocted a quick excuse and slipped away, heading for a smoke break at the
hospital entrance.
To his astonishment, as soon as he stepped outside, he cface to face with someone he never expected to see—Cherise.
At the hospital entrance, Cherise stood conversing with a distinguished gray-haired doctor. Catching sight of Jude, she paused
momentarily, exchanging final words with the elderly physician before approaching him.

"Hey there," she greeted with a warm smile.
"Hey," Jude replied casually, lazily lighting a cigarette. "Dr. Shaw is always dedicated to her medical calling no matter where she
finds herself."
Cherise offered a faint smile. "Old habits die hard."
"Plus, Dr. Wayne and | were classmates back in Europe. | found out he's stationed in Yatesville now, so | dropped by for a visit," she
explained casually, her gaze flickering to Jude.
"And you? What brings you here?" she asked, genuine curiosity coloring her tone.
"My mom's a patient here," Jude replied.
Cherise paused, her expression softening. "Of course."
"Let's keep each otherpany and chat," Jude let out a tired yawn. "Since Phoenix passed away, | haven't had anyone to talk to.
And now, with all this chaos at home...
"If Dr. Shaw doesn't mind, can | talk to you?" he asked, a hint of vulnerability in his voice.
Cherise glanced at her watch, realizing Damien would pick her up in just over half an hour.
