The moment Cindy saw Young Master Jewell’s injuries the day before yesterday when he was sent to hospital for emergency treatment, she secretly hid and vomited. She did not even dare to approach him.Ken saw everything.Why would such a woman exist?Although Young Master Jewell spoke harshly to her, he had always given her what she deserved.If it had not been for Young Master Jewell, she would not have come so far.Thankfully, Young Master Jewell did not marry her back then.“I’m not disturbing him. I’m just keeping him company.” Cindy said in a self-righteous manner, “What’s more, Mr. Jewell and Madam Jewell told me to stay here. Both of you are just bodyguards. Who knows if you both will bully him now that he can’t move and speak?”A hint of fury was revealed in Ken’s eyes.Cindy lifted her head and warned, “Now that Chester is in the hospital, please be clear who the head of the Jewell family is.”In other words, if Ken continued to talk back, Cindy could get Uncle Michael
Ken was dumbfounded. He was so busy taking care of Chester that he overlooked those things.That woman… It was hard to describe her.How could Cindy be in the mood for these things with Young Master Jewell’s condition?“Doing this doesn’t only prove her innocence, but the public will also lash out at Young Master Jewell if he doesn’t marry her after he wakes up.” Ken promptly grasped the point.“That’s the outcome she wants.”Shaun said nonchalantly, “Michael and his wife are glad to have someone ready to give her blood by their side. As for Cindy, all she yearns for is a place in upper-class society. With Chester’s current condition, she probably thinks she’s at a loss for marrying him.”When Ken heard that, he fumed.On second thought, when Cindy looked at Chester’s injuries, her gaze that betrayed her disgust indicated that she might have such a thought.“Dream on. Young Master Jewell won’t marry her anyhow.”“Chester’s movement is currently restricted, so you need to keep
Charity went silent.“Although I’m not sure about the personal vendetta between you and Chester, Chester’s bodyguard said he didn’t regret saving you.” Larissa sighed. “Anyhow, we should thank him for that.”“Mm.”After that, silence descended upon the ward.Larissa looked at her daughter whom she had taken care of since the latter was young. Nevertheless, ever since Charity joined the entertainment industry, she had changed drastically. Sometimes, Larissa thought Charity felt like a stranger.Upon noticing Larissa’s glumness, Charity was slightly swayed. She said, “Mom, since you’re here, just stay here. You don’t have to go home.”“It’ll be great staying here, but I won’t be used to it.” Larissa forced a smile and said, “When you miss me, you can come over and visit me.”“I miss you very much. Just stay here.” In fact, Charity was rather guilty that she was occupying Eliza’s body, yet she had not undertaken the responsibility of looking after Eliza’s mother. All she had done w
Momentarily dazed, Ken said, “Didn’t I tell you it was Miss Robbins’ mom who made the soup?”“You… only told me her mom made… the chicken soup,” Chester said arduously.Only then did Ken realize that he had forgotten to tell Chester about it after that.After Shaun saw Michael and his wife out, he looked at his buddy’s face. He could not help but tease Chester, “Does the soup cooked by Eliza’s mom taste better?”Chester pursed his pale lips without saying a word.In fact, it had been a long time since he last had pumpkin soup.He used to love pumpkin soup. During the years he was in a relationship with Charity, he had it very frequently, but he had not had it as much as before in the last few years.It was impossible for Eliza’s mother to make him the soup for no reason. It was most probably because Charity reminded her.He never thought Charity would still remember it.Chester’s dark eyes softened in spite of himself.Upon noticing Chester’s expression, Shaun had difficulty
However, Shaun informed Catherine about it. “Do you think something has gone wrong with Chester’s brain since he got into that accident?”“What could have gone wrong with his brain?” Catherine rolled her eyes at him. “Although Chester was injured all over, he drove in the opposite direction on the highway to save the person he loves. So, he must have thought it over. He might even have thought of risking his life at that time. Won’t you protect me in the same way as Chester protected Eliza?”“Why wouldn’t I?” Shaun quickly denied the claim. “I just think that Chester has never been a great person when it comes to relationships. He’s the kind who’ll destroy something if he can’t get it. What’s more, if I ended up in that state for saving you one day, I would be happy you’re alive. Having said that, I’d think I don’t deserve to be with you. I would have low self-esteem and be depressed. I might not want to see you anymore. I’d hide elsewhere and have negative thoughts.”After some tho
“Were you the one who told your mom that… I love pumpkin soup?”Chester spoke again, his eyes filled with tenderness. “You still remember it, huh?”“I’ve always remembered some things. You’re the one who doesn’t remember.” Charity did not know why she said that.“Well…” Chester said with a low voice, “It was my fault–”“Enough.” Annoyed, Charity interrupted him, “Chester, I hate you, but I never wished for you to end up like this. All I hoped was that we’d live our own lives like two parallel lines. You shouldn’t have saved me…”“If I hadn’t saved you… you’d be dead.” Although Chester could not get up, his eyes were fixed on her. “I’ve lost you before… Charity’s death… I don’t wish to experience it again.”He knew full well that Charity was wronged and that Sarah caused the misunderstanding between Charity and him.He regretted his actions, but there was nothing he could do because he believed Charity was dead.“When I came looking for you on the highway… I’ve thought it over.
“All I know is that if Huxley took revenge against you just because of the video I sent you, I would never be able to forgive myself.”Chester pursed his lips imperceptibly.Charity was stunned for a moment. After she came to her senses, she asked, “According to Cathy, you were the one who informed her that Huxley might take revenge against me. What was that all about?”“Oh. Toby came to my house to look for me. He hinted that he incited Huxley to deal with you. He even tried to pull me into it, but I gave him… a punch.”At that, Chester’s Adam’s apple bobbed. “After all this talking, I’m thirsty. Can you feed me some water?”Charity found a glass on the bed cabinet. The glass was half filled with water, but it was already cold. She found a water dispenser and got some warm water. Then, she used a spoon to feed him water on his dry lips.Chester sipped on the water.Since Chester did not stop Charity, she felt the need to continue feeding him.Only after feeding him more than h
Chester shut his eyes.After half a minute, he heard the door of the ward shut.A while later, Shaun and Ken walked in together.“What did Charity say?” Shaun asked with a grin, “Considering you risked your life to save her heroically, she must be touched.” “No. She only said she no longer hates me and that we don’t owe each other anymore…”Shaun was stunned. “Is that all? How could it be? Is it because she saw your face–”“No. She’s not that sort of person.” Chester broke in and laughed. “This is good.”Shaun was at a loss for words.…Catherine was strolling around the park while holding Charity’s hand.“Do you feel better coming out for a walk after being in the ward for days?” Catherine asked with a smile. “Having said that, you might have to cut short the walk not only because the reporters may be hiding at the park but also because your body hasn’t fully recovered yet.”“Are there many reporters outside?”“Yes. Now, there might be reporters disguised as patients and
