"How dare you! Why are you hugging me? How can you do this? You are taking advantage of me! Get
off me! Now!"
"That hurts! How can you slap me in the face? That's too much!"
"So what? Is your face that important? Do you make money out of your face? You took advantage of
me! Why can't I slap you?!"
"I didn't take advantage of you. I just tried to stop you from doing something stupid. You were the one
who leaned on me just now."
That was true. Sally's face flushed red, but she still shouted.
"I was testing you. But you failed the test. Admit it! You like to take advantage of young girls! You are so
creepy!"
Jaspers couldn't bear to hear that, so he frowned and said angrily.
"You're really unbelievable! I was trying to help you! Let me tell you, even if a supermodel stood here, I
wouldn't take advantage of her! Not to mention you! I have been single for so many years. I don't like
women!"
"You're lying! You're such a hypocrite! If you don't like women, why did you take off all my clothes and
put me on your bed? You even washed my underwear! You should be ashamed to do such a thing.
Now you tell me you don't like women?"
Jasper couldn't be more regretful. He tugged at his hair as he explained.
"Didn't I tell you? I had no choice that night. You got drunk...."
"So what? Because I was drunk, you could do that to me?"
"What did I do to you? Tell me, what did I do?"
"I didn't sleep with you, and I didn't even kiss you or caress you. What did I do to you?"
"I kindly took you back so that you got a place to sleep. I even cleaned your clothes."
...
"Thanks to me, you get to wear clean clothes the next day? I was so kind to you."
"Why must you make it so nasty?"
Sally glared at Jasper as he opened his hands and said. Suddenly, she didn't know how to refute.
"Anyway, I don't want to talk to you! So don't talk to me! We don't know each other!"
Sally turned around, raised her chin, and rolled her eyes.
Jasper was furious. He nodded and said, "Alright, alright, alright, we don't know each other! I don't want
to talk to you, either!"
Jasper leaned against the wall, crossed his arms, and turned his face away.
After two minutes of stalemate, Jasper could not bear it any longer.
Since he was little, he had been taught to be kind to others, and try not to embarrass others. He
seldom got angry. And he would never start a fight with anyone. Instead, he would try to end it as soon
as possible.
This was the first time that Jasper had got in such a big fight.
Jasper secretly glanced at Sally and found that the girl still looked angry.
Jasper was helpless. He gave a bitter smile and turned his gaze away.
Sally bit her lower lip and frowned.
Jasper was so not a man!
As a man, shouldn't he be more chivalrous and make an apology first?
It was so embarrassing. Couldn't he say something nice to her?
Hateful Jasper!
He was indeed unbearable. No wonder Elaine didn't like him.
At this time, the door creaked and Emmett walked out of the chief physician's office.
Emmett took the initiative to shake hands with the chief physician and said with a tired expression.
"Thank you for telling me. And thank you for troubles for Elaine."
The chief physician was terrified.
Emmett was no ordinary person.
He was the young master of Tianyi Group!
Moreover, he was the successor of ZH Clan!
...
As the uncrowned emperor of the city, he was even more powerful than the mayor!
Mr. Smith actually took the initiative to shake hands with him, and thanked him so sincerely....
The chief physician felt so stressed out.
He blushed and nodded fiercely, "Mr. Smith, you honored me. You don't need to say that. I will do my
best to save your family. However, you must keep in mind what I have told you."
Emmett nodded heavily, his eyes dimming.
"I know. Don't worry. Please keep this a secret for me."
"Alright. Keeping patients' secrets is part of our duties. You have nothing to worry about."
Emmett closed his eyes for one second and then walked towards Elaine's ward with a sullen face.
Sally was anxious. She walked over to block Emmett and asked.
"What's wrong with Elaine? Is she alright? Tell me!"
"She's fine...."
Emmett replied in a low voice.
From Jaspers' point of view, there was definitely something wrong with Emmett!
From Emmett's deep eyes, he could see nothing but sadness!
There was definitely something wrong!
As Emmett's good friend over the years, Jasper could bet that the chief physician had told Emmett
some bad news!
"Really? Then what's wrong with Elaine? Why does she have a stomachache?"
Sally tilted her head, her face full of doubt.
"Nothing. Elaine is suffering from acute gastroenteritis. She probably ate something bad at home."
Emmett said calmly.
Jasper stared fixedly at Emmett's face! He wanted to see something strange from Emmett's
expression.
But he couldn't....
Emmett was good at concealing his feelings.
"So it's just acute gastroenteritis. I was so worried."
Sally heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest. She shook her head as she said.
"I knew it! Elaine is too frugal. She must have eaten the leftovers at home."
"How about it? Now she has a stomachache. I must talk to her. She can't save money like this."
...
Emmett frowned slightly, somewhat distracted.
Jaspers felt his heart was twitched!
Something was wrong....
From the solemn face of Emmett and the chief physician ... he could tell there was definitely something
else!
Emmett walked into the ward. Elaine slept quietly under the quilt, looking like a child.
She was very petite.
Emmett held the door, staring at Elaine's face.
He was stunned.
Sally took the opportunity to walk into the ward first. She hit Emmett by accident, waking him up from
his deep thought.
"Is she asleep or unconscious? Why are her eyes closed?"
Sally circled around Elaine.
Only then did Emmett entered the ward and walked up to the bed slowly.
He lowered his head and looked deeply at Elaine.
With a very gentle voice, he said.
"They sedated her so that she could get more sleep."
"Alright."
Sally didn't suspect. She nodded her head and sat down on the sofa. Then she looked around, as if
she was here to visit.
On the other hand, Emmett sat silently on the stool. He stretched out to gently grab Elaine's hand.
He closed his eyes and leaned his face against Elaine's hand.
Seeing how affectionate Emmett was to Elaine, Sally was shocked.
What was Emmett doing?
Was he acting? But did he need to act in front of her?
Or ... was is because he was too bored, so he came here to perform as a man in love?
But from his expression, he looked more like a man who was ready to die together with his beloved
one.
Jasper had always been careful and meticulous. He did not enter the ward. Instead, he went to the
chief physician's office. He knocked on the door, walked in, and asked.
"What will happen to Elaine?"
The chief physician inside was shocked. He looked up and subconsciously said.
...
"That's hard to say...."
Jaspers' heart skipped a beat. He didn't get it wrong. Something bad did happen.
After saying that, the chief physician realized that he should not disclose the patient's condition, so he
hurriedly said.
"As for the condition of Elaine, as the doctor, I'm obliged to keep it a secret. Sorry, please don't ask any
more questions. Otherwise, I will tell Mr. Smith."
Jasper was stunned as he nodded.
"Alright, I understand. I'm sorry to disturb you."
Jasper walked out with his head lowered.
He was sure!
About Elaine's condition, there was more to it.
Even though Jasper couldn't figure out what exactly happened to Elaine, judging from what the chief
physician said, he knew she must be very ill. That was why the doctor said that it was hard to say.
Besides, Jasper could also tell that Emmett had told the doctor to keep it a secret. It meant that it
should be hidden from Elaine. Otherwise, it would have a great mental impact on her.... Heavens, if that
was true....
Elaine must have a terminal illness!
Jasper staggered and almost fell down. He held himself up with the wall.
Suddenly, he remembered the first time when Elaine showed up at the Tianyi Group.
She was like a blooming flower, so fresh and pure.
She stared at him with her big watery eyes and smiled as she called his name.
Jaspers felt his nose was sore as he was about to cry. He rubbed his nose with the back of his hand.
'Elaine, are you really dying?'
Just as he was moaning, Emmett walked out of the ward.
Apparently, he couldn't hold it anymore. Once he came out, he gasped for breath.
Jasper saw Emmett stand in front of the window and look outside. Then Emmett took out a cigarette, lit
it with his shaking hand, and took a deep puff.
Looking at Emmett's lonely back, Jasper suddenly wanted to cry.
It was twelve o'clock in the evening, and Sally was dozing off in the ward. Emmett thought she should
better leave.
"Jasper, you send Sally back."
"Alright...."
Jasper agreed and stood up.
