Lillian fell silent when she realized the atmosphere had turned heavy.
Tiffany feigned ignorance and said, “It’s just a plant… You’re free to take care of it if you want to. If it’s too much of a bother, you can just throw it away. I don’t have the time to bother with it.”
Jackson muttered, “You can keep it if you want to. After all, it’s a gift from someone…”
Tiffany looked at Lillian pointedly.
Lillian only shrugged helplessly. How was she to know the plant was a forbidden topic? She was only striking up a conversation.
At this moment, Tiffany’s phone suddenly rang. The number was not saved on her phone, but it looked familiar to her. She casually answered the call. “Hello?”
Tanya’s voice rang from the other end of the line. “Tiffany! Help me… Help me…”
Tiffany rose to her feet immediately. “What happened?”
Tiffany had deleted Tanya’s number a long time ago. Therefore, Tanya’s name did not show up when she called. Tanya sounded like she was in great pain, and Tiffany could not stay idle despite their conflict in the past.
Tanya sounded out of breath as she said, “I-I… fell in the shower… Jett isn’t answering his phone. Help me please, my stomach hurts…”
Tiffany was shocked. Tanya was pregnant so how was a fall going to affect her? It was not surprising for Tanya to look for Tiffany since she was not able to contact Jett at that crucial moment. Moreover, apart from Jett, Tanya only knew Tiffany and Arianne.
When they entered the house, Jackson froze.
Tiffany said anxiously, “What are you standing there for? Get moving.”
Jackson’s lips twitched. “She fell in the shower. What if she’s naked? You should go in first.”
Realization dawned on Tiffany. She was inwardly happy at his attention to detail. Still, she was shocked to discover that Tanya was really naked and unconscious when she entered the shower. Fortunately, there were no signs of bleeding. The water in the bathtub continued to flow, and the water had turned cold. Tanya’s lips were pale. Things did not look good.
She fumbled for a moment as she turned off the water. She quickly grabbed some clothes and dressed Tanya. After she was done, she called out to Jackson, “Come in! I’ve already dressed her. She’s unconscious so we need to hurry and bring her to the hospital!”
