Chapter 223 What's Wrong With You?
"No, I'll ask Paige to help find a professional carer to look after me." Jocelyn shook her head.
She was sure that whichever girl would be upset to know that her boyfriend had to take care of another
female close to her.
She didn't want to do such a thing.
He has a girlfriend and they naturally need to keep some distance.
It was a sign of respect for the girl.
Sensing Jocelyn's perversity, Noah frowned slightly, "What's wrong with you?"
Just at this time Jocelyn's mobile phone on the bedside table vibrated.
He immediately helped her pick up the phone, his eyes inadvertently falling on the screen, and he saw
that it was a voice call from Billy.
Noah gave her a faint look before pressing answer for her and putting the phone into her hand.
She glanced at the caller before saying, "Billy, what's up?"
As soon as the words were out of her mouth, she began to pant.
"What's wrong with you?" There was a hint of anxiety in his tone, "Why do I get the feeling that you
don't sound right?"
"Oh, hospitalized with appendicitis."
"Hospitalized? Which hospital?" Billy immediately pursued the question.
"First People's Hospital ......," said Jocelyn.
"I'll be right over."
"No need."
However, before she could finish her sentence, Billy had already hung up on the other side.
Jocelyn let out a long breath of helplessness before dialling Paige.
As soon as the phone call was answered, she immediately told Paige on the other end about her
situation and asked her to help find a professional carer to take care of her closely.
When Paige heard this, she immediately became anxious, "What? You were actually hospitalized with
appendicitis? And had an operation?"
"What do you need a carer for? I will be worried about you. I'll take care of you." Paige was resolute.
"You've got a bunch of stuff to do, no need to come." Jocelyn finished, panting again.
After talking for too long, by now, she was a little stretched out.
"I can do it while taking care of you, nothing is more important than you. All right, I'll go over to you
now." After saying that, Paige hung up the phone.
Noah sat quietly beside her the whole time and watched her, listening attentively to her conversation
with Paige, his brows knitted deeply.
He always felt that something was very wrong with Jocelyn, once upon a time when she was in trouble,
he was the one taking care of her and she wouldn't say anything.
How come he's suddenly pushed him away now?
Just then, his mobile phone vibrated, interrupting his thoughts.
When he saw that it was Camille's phone, he got up and walked over to the bedside and answered it,
his expression softening once again, "What's wrong?"
"I'm in your office ...... Where are you?" Camille asked.
"I have something to do now, you go back." Noah said.
The warm, piercing sun reflected off his face through the glass, illuminating his already white skin.
There was a distance between her and him, and she couldn't hear what the person on the other side of
the phone was saying, but by the look on his face and the tone of his voice, she knew it must be his
girlfriend.
The two of them had arranged to go somewhere today and it turned out that he couldn't make it
because of her.
Her heart, again, began to ache vaguely, and her brain became muddled.
Noah hung up the phone straight away and walked modestly back to Jocelyn, sitting back in his chair
again, "What do you want to eat? I'll go buy it for you."
Jocelyn looked away, not letting him see the despondency in her eyes, and said lightly, "No need,
Paige will be here in a moment, you go about your business."
The coldness made him frown deeply again, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, I want to be left alone, so go away." Jocelyn added.
"What's wrong with you?" He pressed again.
"Nothing, I'm sleepy and I want to rest for a while ...... hurry up and go about your own business, I've
been bothering you for too long."
With those words, Jocelyn rolled over and faced the window, letting the harsh sunlight hit her face.
"Why are you so strange all of a sudden?" He raised his brow slightly, his gaze landing on her back.
"I'm just tired ......," Jocelyn said, slowly closing her eyes.
"............" Noah quieted down and frowned again, silently watching her back, his eyes narrowing
slightly.
Vaguely, he could sense that something had changed very subtly between them.
About half an hour or so later, Paige walked in hurriedly carrying bags of nourishment.
As soon as she entered, she immediately rushed to the bedside, before placing her things on the
bedside table.
Jocelyn's back was to her and she subconsciously thought that Jocelyn was asleep, so she looked at
the man and asked, "Is she asleep? How is she?"
"Yes." He glanced deeply at her back.
At this time, Tom's phone call came in, and he gave Paige a look before walking to the bedside and
answering the phone with a serious face.
"Mr. Mason, I have an urgent document needs your attention, where are you?" Tom asked.
"Got it, I'll be back later." He said.
Hanging up the phone, he returned to Paige and once again gave Jocelyn a deep look before his gaze
fell coldly on Paige's face, "Please, take good care of her, I have something to do and I have to leave."
Jocelyn slowly opened her eyes and thought, "It must be his girlfriend who called him.”
With a long breath, she did not speak and closed her eyes again.
Paige nodded.
Noah picked up the black suit jacket hanging on the back of the chair, hastily put it on and left with
quick steps.
After he left, Jocelyn slowly opened her eyes again, and then lay back flat, looking at Paige, said Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
feebly, "Paige ...... you'd better call an carer for me, don't think it's appropriate for you to take care of
me."
"I will worry about you. By the way, what happened with you and Noah? Did something unpleasant
happen?" Paige had a hint of doubt under her eyes.
Moreover, she always felt that the atmosphere between Jocelyn and Noah just now was quite wrong.
When she first entered the door, seeing Jocelyn lying with her back to Noah like that, she thought she
was asleep.
If she wasn't asleep, why did she turn her back on him and not even say a word?
Besides, she hadn't said she needed a caregiver even when she was injured before, it was always
Noah who was around to take care of her. What was wrong this time?
Jocelyn shook her head.
