Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 135: Jonas Hawthorne, Please Wake Up

Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Jonas Hawthorne, Please Wake Up

"Jonas Hawthorne?"

She called out urgently but found that he still had his eyes closed, as if he hadn’t heard her at all.

Looking at the EKG and blood pressure monitors again, all the data was stable. Raine Sinclair sighed and sat down again beside Jonas Hawthorne.

How long had it been since they had faced each other in such tranquility?

Aside from the sound of the machines, there was nothing else.

After a long silence, Raine Sinclair finally spoke softly, "Maybe you can hear me, even though you can’t wake up right now."

Some things she might never dare to say if he were awake.

"Try to live, at least... you’re still the father of this child."

Saying this, she gently caressed her belly.

It had somehow subtly grown.

No matter how much she tried to deny it, this child would forever connect her and Jonas Hawthorne.

"Funny, isn’t it? Two years of marriage and no child, but the moment you mentioned divorce, here comes one..."

With a sigh, her eyes reddened slightly.

Who doesn’t want to give their child a complete family?

But the world is full of things beyond control.

She couldn’t force a person who didn’t love her to suddenly love her, could she?

A forcibly picked fruit might quench thirst, but the bitterness that follows, she alone would taste.

"The only regret I have is about Grandma... She loved me so much, but sadly, destiny wasn’t on our side. Jonas Hawthorne, wake up soon, I’ll tell my cousin to stop troubling you. Let’s just erase our past."

She murmured softly, speaking to both him and herself.

She had never imagined. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

That letting go would be so difficult.

It hurt.

As the sour emotions welled up, she couldn’t help but shed tears.

What she didn’t know was that as she lowered her head to wipe her tears, Jonas Hawthorne’s brow suddenly twitched slightly.

He was aware.

He just couldn’t wake up, as if trapped in a secret room, he could hear everything from the outside but couldn’t respond...

He hadn’t expected Raine Sinclair to actually come and see him.

No matter what, she came after all.

Raine, I’m glad.

Don’t worry, I won’t die.

How could I leave you and the child alone in this world?

Wait for me...

——

Not long after Raine Sinclair had wiped her tears, John Franklin knocked and came in.

"Dr. Lawson, is there any change with Mr. Hawthorne?"

A nurse followed behind him, and John Franklin spoke with extra politeness.

Raine Sinclair hurriedly stood up, nodded, but did not speak.

Right now, her throat was choked with emotion, and if she spoke, it would certainly carry a sob, which would arouse suspicion.

John Franklin glanced at her, as if sensing something, and turned to the nurse, saying, "Nothing’s happening here, go monitor the hematology department. Make sure they get the test results as soon as possible."

"Yes." The nurse left swiftly, without questioning further.

Seeing this, Raine Sinclair lifted her eyes instinctively and asked with concern, "How’s Grandma doing?"

When she spoke, combined with her rabbit-red eyes, John Franklin realized she must have been crying earlier.

"What’s there to cry about for a man who broke your heart?" John Franklin retorted.

Raine Sinclair paused for a moment, then lowered her gaze, not answering but asking again, "How’s Grandma really doing?"

John Franklin sighed, "Not too well."

"How could that be?" Raine Sinclair was stunned. She was about to say that Grandma always took care of herself, even maintaining her fitness despite her age, how could she not be well?

Grandma always seemed so full of energy, and all her check-ups every year were great...

Before she could think further, John Franklin said, "It seems to be poisoning, and it’s a chronic poison."

"What?" Raine Sinclair exclaimed, "Poisoning?"

"Yes." John Franklin nodded, his brow furrowing, "We still need the lab results to determine the specific poison. The old lady’s body has already sustained significant damage, and I’m afraid..."

Before he could finish, Raine Sinclair had already rushed over to grab John Franklin’s arm, pleading urgently, "Please, John, save Grandma!"

Ever since she married into the Hawthorne family, Grandma had been nothing but kind to her!

Even after the divorce, Grandma never said a harsh word to her...

Especially after what she said earlier in front of Candace Ford, how could Raine Sinclair not be moved?

John Franklin patted her hand, reassuring her, "Don’t worry, I’m a doctor, I’ll do my best. But..."

"But what?"

"Given Sedonia’s current medical capabilities, it’s not enough. I need a new machine to cleanse the toxins from her blood, which will greatly increase the chances of recovery," John Franklin replied.

Raine Sinclair frowned, "What kind of machine? Doesn’t the Hawthorne family have it?"

"It’s a newly developed machine, hardly known globally. But as far as I know, Jordan Holden’s medical team has one here in Sedonia!"

How fortunate, and that’s one of the reasons John Franklin had come to Sedonia openly this time.

Of course, being ordered over by his grandfather was another reason.

"Jordan Holden?" Raine Sinclair blinked, her face slightly awkward, "He’s having a masked ball tonight and invited me. I was busy checking on the situation here, so I sent Lily in my place."

What a coincidence?

"Lily?" John Franklin raised an eyebrow, a moment of realization dawning as he pictured a face, "Your cousin from the Sinclairs?"

"Yes." Raine Sinclair nodded.

"You let her impersonate you? Raine, you must be careful." John Franklin, usually calm, suddenly looked stern, cautioning seriously.

This puzzled Raine Sinclair, "Careful about what?"

That was the sister she grew up with...

John Franklin tapped her forehead affectionately, "When you got married, I saw her once. She seemed like an obedient girl, but her eyes were filled with envy watching you. You must know, when decades of envy turn into jealousy, it can be terrifying."

Especially after experiencing the happiness that belonged to Raine Sinclair, wouldn’t she want to take her place?

Raine Sinclair was stunned, "Lily jealous of me? How is that possible?"

"Anything is possible," John Franklin interrupted her, and added, "I’ll watch things here, you go to the ball and get that machine from Jordan."

Raine Sinclair thought for a moment before leaving, "Alright!"

——

The night gradually deepened.

Elsewhere, the masked ball had begun.

Lily Sinclair appeared at the ball dressed in Raine Sinclair’s custom gown, wearing a white feathered princess mask.
