Chapter 284:
Annabel seemed to hear a familiar voice coming from inside. It sounded like Rupert’s voice.
She was instantly filled with excitement.
Had Rupert woken up?
“Let me go inside and see Rupert,” Annabel said eagerly.
“But Mr. Finley instructed us that no one is allowed to enter the room without his permission,” one of the bodyguards replied with an embarrassed expression.
The bodyguards knew that Annabel was Rupert’s fiancée, but since Finley had given them a direct order, they could only do their duty and stop her at the door.
After pondering for a moment, Annabel took out her phone and called Finley.
Finley heard his phone ring and glanced at the screen. Seeing Annabel’s name, he pressed the speaker button.
“Miss Hewitt, what can I do for you?” he asked.

“Come in, please,” he said with a smile.
“Miss Hewitt can enter and leave the ward freely from now on,” Finley told the bodyguards.
“Is Rupert okay?” Annabel’s gaze instantly focused on the man lying in the bed, who looked gorgeous even while “unconscious p>
Rupert’s eyes remained closed as he listened to Annabel’s caring voice. It felt as though the softest part of his heart was being brushed by a feather.
“His condition is quite stable,” Finley said, pursing his lips.
“I heard him talking just now.” Annabel’s attention remained fixed on Rupert. She was certain she had just heard his voice.
“You heard me talking on the phone,” Finley replied with a shake of his head.
“I see.” Annabel looked disappointed.
Finley glanced at Annabel, then at Rupert. “Since you’re here with him, I’ll leave now. If you need anything, you can ask the bodyguards at the door. They are all Mr. Benton’s confidants p>
Since Annabel was here, it was wiser for him to leave.
