Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 26

Unbeknownst to Jennifer, Janet had already instructed some of her subordinates to start investigating the bullet casing with an inscription of a letter ‘M’. Later that night when Janet was having a discussion with the organization on the bullet casing, her phone on the desk started ringing urgently. She glanced at the screen and found that it was from an unknown caller.

“Who is this?”

“It’s me.” A familiar man’s voice came to her from the other end.

Assuming that he had called to update her on the condition of the elderly lady, she queried, “Has Old Madam Lowry woken up?”

Mason answered, “Yes.”

“I’ll go and take a look at her now.” As a doctor, Janet felt obligated to make a trip to the hospital again.

At the largest private hospital in Sandfort City, it was morning when Old Madam Lowry regained consciousness. She seemed to be in better spirits after having an acupuncture treatment by Janet. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

After removing all the silver needles from the elderly lady’s body, Janet looked up and found the elderly lady staring at her in a warm and amiable way. Judging from her eyes which were brimming with admiration, it was obvious that the elderly lady had taken a liking to Janet.

“Her condition has improved a lot,” Janet told Mason.

“All thanks to you.” Mason’s eyes were glued to Janet right from the very beginning.

Old Madam Lowry had noticed the way Mason looked at Janet long before this. As someone who had immense experience in love and relationships, she knew what it meant. Old Madam Lowry then stared at Janet. “Oh right—Miss Sandra?”

“You may call me Janet.”

“Janet… What a beautiful name. In that case, I’ll call you Miss Janet from now on.”

“You may call me anything you like.” Janet wasn’t too bothered by how the elderly lady addressed her because it was just a trivial matter.

Staring at Janet warmly, Old Madam Lowry made a move to hold her hand but Janet frowned and dodged her.

As someone who was wise, Old Madam Lowry appeared unruffled and pretended as if nothing had happened. Looking at Janet’s fair complexion, she asked, “Miss Janet, do you have a boyfriend?”

“Nope.”

“In that case, is there anyone in your heart?” Old Madam Lowry pressed on.

The muscles in Mason’s face tensed up when he heard the question. Being such an attractive girl, he was sure she must have plenty of suitors.

“Nope,” Janet answered truthfully.

The muscles in Mason’s face relaxed slightly when he heard her answer. Meanwhile, Old Madam Lowry had been keeping an eye on her grandson’s reaction. To her, Mason always looked unapproachable and aloof like a block of ice, mostly of his poker-faced expression. She then thought about how she was just a peasant girl who lived in a village decades ago and never in her wildest dreams did she think she would marry Mason’s grandfather and become the matriarch of the Lowry

Family. She was filled with nostalgia for a short while before she turned and said to Janet and Mason, “Do stand closer to each other.”

Janet wondered what the elderly woman was trying to achieve by asking her to stand closer to Mason. However, before she could protest, Mason had already edged closer to her as per Old Madam Lowry’s instruction.

Admiring at the sight in front of her, the elderly lady nodded her head in approval and beamed. “The two of you look great as a couple!”

In response, Mason lazily raised his eyebrows and broke into a charming lopsided smile. Janet, on the other hand, looked indifferent.

“Miss Janet, I was so lucky to bump into you or I would’ve…” Old Madam Lowry sighed heavily. She then held onto Janet’s hand and this time, Janet didn’t try to move away. “I’d like to thank you but… I can’t think of anything to offer you. What about this, would my grandson as your husband do?”

Sean, who was standing in the corner of the room, was confused by the elderly lady’s humble tone. What did the name Mason Lowry actually represent? It represented immense power in Sandfort City and there were many wealthy young ladies who were very keen to marry into the Lowry Family and become Mason’s wife. Why was Mason made to sound like an unattractive man when it came to Janet?

“You don’t have to offer me anything in return because I merely did what I was paid for.”

Old Madam Lowry didn’t push it seeing how disinterested she looked. She understood that she had to let nature take its course when it came to relationships because it might make matters worse if she tried too hard to bring them together.

“I shall get going if you’re feeling fine now.”

Janet and Mason walked out of the ward after that.

“My grandmother said we looked great together.”

Janet glanced at him sideways and snapped, “Nothing will ever happen between us.”

“Now, now. How can you be so sure without giving it a try?”
