Gloria did not take a single insult lying down; she retorted to every word with her own sharp comebacks.

Logan and Talon exchanged a glance.
No one had expected the situation to become this tense.
“Jaelynn, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to pressure you. If you change your mind, come visit Javon at the hospital.”
“See them out!”
Gloria locked the door without hesitation.
She turned back, her expression fierce, but when she faced Jaelynn, she was especially gentle.
“Jael, are you alright?”
Jaelynn was only momentarily lost in thought.
“What could possibly be wrong with me, when you protect me so well? Your voice is hoarse from all that yelling. Let me make you some honey
water.
Gloria shook her head solemnly and said, “Why drink honey water at a time like this? We should celebrate with some wine–evil has met its
retribution!”
Hospital, VIP ward.
Javon had woken up, but was now drifting in and out of sleep due to dizziness.
At this moment, Shayla rushed over to take care of him as soon as she heard the news.
There was no one else in the ward.
Shayla gazed at Javon’s handsome face, unable to

one she wanted to have.
In the next moment, Shayla secretly leaned down and pressed her lips to Javon’s.
In his half–conscious state, Javon murmured softly, “Jael…”
Javon’s dreams were filled with Jaelynn.
Hearing this, Shayla was instantly consumed by jealousy.

“I’m not Jaelynn! Jay still can’t forget her. It would be best if she never came back–then this place would be mine!
At that moment, footsteps sounded outside.
Shayla immediately put on a well–behaved act, and saw that it was Logan who had returned.
“Mr. Dillon.”
Javon hasn’t woken up yet?”
As Logan asked, he happened to see Javon open his eyes.
“Where’s Jael?”
His voice was hoarse.
Logan frowned and sighed, saying helplessly, “Jaelynn doesn’t want to come. The misunderstanding between you two still needs to be cleared
up.”
At this moment, Javon said nothing.

Shayla seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire: “Jaelynn is really too much. Mr. Bradford got into a car accident because of her, and she won’t even come to see him. She clearly doesn’t care about Mr. Bradford at all.”
“Ms. McDowell, it’s not your place to say such things.”
Logan shot her a cold look and reminded her sternly, “The relationship between Javon and Jaelynn is not for you to judge. No one knows better than I do how much Jaelynn cares for Javon. Remember your place, and don’t speak out of turn again.”
“…Yes, Mr. Dillon.”
Shayla looked aggrieved after being scolded.
Why wouldn’t Javon protect her anymore?
Javon felt dizzy and closed his eyes to rest.
Yes, everyone knew Jaelynn loved him deeply.
He knew it too.
But why wouldn’t she come to see him?
She must be forcing herself not to come, and it must be very painful for her.
Later, Javon drifted off to sleep again, and in his dreams, he seemed to see Jaelynn sitting by his bedside.
At six in the morning, when he woke up, the bedside was empty.
Suddenly, Javon missed Jaelynn terribly.
Forcing his unwell body, he left the hospital.
Seven in the morning.
Jaelynn woke up feeling refreshed.

It was her first day off work, and although she still woke up early, all her time now belonged to herself, so she felt completely at ease.
She deliberately drove to the largest supermarket nearby, knowing she needed to fill the fridge before she could get anything done.
After parking the car, she carried her groceries back home.
Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure standing at the entrance of the villa.
“Jael, were you really worried about me?”
Javon was still wearing a hospital gown, with gauze wrapped around his forehead. His face was pale, and he looked very weak.
At that moment, Jaelynn stopped and looked at him.
Javon smiled at her, and seeing the fresh groceries in her hands, he said confidently, “I knew you cared about me. Are you making breakfast to bring to the hospital? Open the door, I’ll just eat inside.”
Hearing what Javon said, Jaelynn couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“You really did hit your head. The injury must be serious.”
“So you regret being stubborn and not coming to see me at the hospital yesterday, don’t you?”
