Chapter 1689: Chapter 1981: She Must Be Sick

After dialing, after several rings, the other side finally picked up.

There was a soft, sweet voice of a girl coming through, somewhat surprised, "Jeremy Lawrence, is that you?"

"Hmm, it’s me." Jeremy Lawrence lifted his wrist and glanced at the time, then at the darkened sky, his brow furrowing slightly.

He was silent for a while, then asked softly, "Regina Kelloway, you didn’t... come tonight, right?"

There was silence on Regina’s end for a while before she replied, "Today is your 18th birthday, and I was definitely going to attend your birthday banquet. But something came up here, I probably won’t make it."

"I’m sorry, Jeremy Lawrence." Regina finished, then coughed a few times.

Her voice sounded a bit hoarse, different from usual.

Jeremy Lawrence pursed his lips, and an overwhelming feeling of loss suddenly filled his heart.

However, when he spoke, his tone did not reveal any abnormality: "Is that so? I just felt like I hadn’t seen you tonight, so I called to check. Since you are busy, go ahead, I’ll hang up."

"Yes. Jeremy Lawrence, happy birthday." Regina spoke, then coughed several times, her voice somewhat hoarse.

Jeremy Lawrence finally realized that something was wrong.

He frowned and asked, "Regina Kelloway, are you sick?"

Regina was silent for a moment before brushing it off, "I might have caught a cold, but I’ll be alright after taking some medicine. Jeremy Lawrence, is this you showing concern for me?"

Jeremy Lawrence frowned again, pursing his lips, and only after a few seconds did he say, "Don’t think too much, I just casually asked."

"Ha." Regina chuckled, "I knew it must be me deluding myself. There must be so many people you need to deal with at the party, you must be very busy. I won’t bother you then."

"I’m going to hang up now."

Jeremy Lawrence didn’t want to hang up just like that.

He still had so many things to say.

For example, he wanted to ask her when she would be transferring schools.

He also wanted to ask her where she had decided to move to.

What he wanted to ask even more was whether she could stay.

But many words had already reached the tip of his tongue, and after much hesitation, he didn’t say them.

He wondered, on what basis could he have her stay?

He had hurt her for three whole years.

Now, if he asked her to stay, how would she view him?

Moreover, if she had already decided to leave, would a word of persuasion from him make her stay?

Jeremy Lawrence thought a lot.

Before he could figure out what to do, he heard Regina softly say to him, "Jeremy Lawrence, goodbye. From now on, you must take care of yourself and, you must be very happy."

Jeremy Lawrence realized that Regina was about to hang up. In his anxiety, he was just about to speak when he heard another female voice through the phone, "Ms. Kelloway, you should play with your phone less. You are seriously injured now, and you should rest."

"I’m sorry, head nurse, I took a call from a friend. I’ll hang up now."

"Wait." Jeremy Lawrence’s face changed, and just before Regina could hang up, he stopped her. His brow furrowed, "Regina Kelloway, what’s going on? Are you in the hospital now?"

A regular cold would not need a hospital visit.

Moreover, that head nurse mentioned "serious injury," so it couldn’t just be a regular cold.

Jeremy Lawrence felt that Regina was hiding something from him.

She must be sick.
