"Yesterday." Jean recoiled back, making Terence pity her. She buried her face in her knees. "Felix is
friends with Ms. Chen from Star Films. I wanted to sell the film and television copyright of my book, so I
contacted him to help set up a meeting with Ms. Chen. It was the first time we met after I came back.
Since I signed the contract with Ms. Chen in the morning, I invited Felix to dinner to thank him. As soon
as we arrived, he began to take advantage of me. I tried to beg him, but he didn't stop. As for the
rest..." Jean gave him a bitter smile and said nothing more.
"Then were you aware that he drugged you?" Terence asked with a frown.
"I was drugged?" Jean widened her eyes and pretended to be surprised. "I don't know. He drugged
me?"
"Yes." Terence gave her a concerned look and explained, "The doctor said that it was the reason why
you felt weaker. If I hadn't gone to you, then you would've been in more danger."
"Terence..." Jean tightly hugged him. "Thank you. If it weren't for you, then I don't know what would've
happened to me yesterday."
Jean tightened her arms around him, unwilling to let go.
Although he wanted to push her away, Terence decided not to. It was a traumatic experience for her
and she might just want some comfort.
Jean smiled to herself when she saw that he wasn't pushing her away.
Men loved to play the role of a hero and save the beautiful damsel in distress. She felt like everything
was moving the way she wanted it to.
"Terence..." After a long time, Jean finally let go of him. "Can you stay here with me tonight? I... I'm so
scared."
Jean's face turned white. She looked so pitiful and in need of sympathy.
Terence was not surprised at her question. Just as he was about to reply, a knock came at the door.
They both turned their heads to find Nelson entering the room. Terence frowned at his friend and
asked, "I thought you had left. Why are you here again?"
"I heard that Miss Gu is in hospital, so I came here to visit her." Nelson grinned, not missing the
resentment in Jean's eyes. She silently accused him for interrupting their conversation.
"Don't worry. I asked my driver to send the medicine to my grandpa," Nelson said to Terence with a
smile.
Terence nodded, but Jean didn't want to let go of this chance. She firmly held Terence's hand and
asked, "Can you please stay?"
Terence opened his mouth to answer, but his friend interrupted once again. "I'm sorry, but I just heard
your conversation at the door. Do you want Terence to stay with you? "
"Yes," Jean answered, not knowing what Nelson was doing.
"Nurse, please come in." Nelson looked at the door and a middle-aged woman entered the room. She
smiled and gently said, "Miss Gu, I'll be staying with you tonight, just tell me what you need."
"What?" Jean gritted her teeth with hatred, but she couldn't do anything. She forced a confused smile
on her face.
Nelson arched an eyebrow at her and explained, "This hospital belongs to my family. Just tell the nurse
if you need anything, she'll do her best to see that you are well cared for."
"Yes, Miss Gu," the nurse cheerfully said. "I've been a nurse for more than twenty years, and I'm
experienced in taking care of people. Mr. Xu has asked me to help you."
"Terence..." Jean knew that she couldn't persuade them anymore, so she raised her head and gave
him a pitiful look.
Terence frowned at her, but before he could say anything, Nelson abruptly added, "Miss Gu, I'm doing
this for your own good. A man like Terence doesn't know how to take care of other people. It's
inconvenient for him to stay here. If you want to go to the bathroom or take a shower, he won't be able
to help you at all."
He paused to take a deep breath. "This nurse is different. She is experienced and good at taking care
of others. She can make you feel at home."
"But..." Jean stammered, looking at Terence and hoping that he would say something.
She had done so much to get this chance. She didn't want a nurse to take care of her and ruin
everything.
If Terence was willing to stay here, then Nelson's help would have been in vain.
When she glanced at him, she couldn't read his expression. After what seemed forever, she finally
heard him whisper, "Let it be."
Jean's hope completely shattered.
She stared at Nelson and spotted a provocative smirk on his face.
Nelson was very happy to see that Jean was beaten. He stared at his friend and advised, "We should
go ahead. That way, Miss Gu can rest without any disturbance."
"Okay." Terence nodded and followed Nelson out the doorway. However, Jean stopped him with a cry.
"Terence, wait! I have to bother you."
"What?" Terence asked patiently.
"Here's the thing." Jean was filled with resentment. She finally got the chance to stay in the same room
with Terence,
but Nelson destroyed it.
'It doesn't matter. I'll find another way,' Jean comforted herself.
"I won't be able to go to work now, but the director wants me to rewrite a few scenes. If you are
available tomorrow, can you be the one to retrieve the script for me?" asked Jean with a hopeful
expression.
Terence silently nodded, relieving her. "Thank you, I'll wait for you here," she said.
"Have a good rest," Terence passively replied. Without another word, he and Nelson left the room.
Outside the hospital, Nelson gave Terence a weird look. "If I didn't go inside, would you have agreed to
stay with her?"
