Jay then asked, "Well, can I visit him?""I wouldn't encourage it—he should avoid unnecessary contact for the time being. Moreover, we will move him directly to the clean room," the doctor said. "Alright. How long would he be staying in the clean room?""Around three to five days. He can leave once his surgical wounds heal enough.""Is this going to be the last surgery?""In terms of major ones, yes. Now, it depends on the patient's acceptance of his new face, though that requires delicacy," the doctor explained."Thank you doctor." Jay was awash with gratitude."It's our responsibility," the doctor said before sending them off.Zoe reluctantly followed Jay. It took her so much to muster her courage to come all the way here, but she never found out who Jay came to visit every day!She was still sulking in the car from frustration, utterly upset.Jay began, "Zoe…" "Don't talk to me!" she snapped.Jay pursed his lips but tried to assure her nonetheless. "You'd be surprise

Zoe was really capable of making someone fall apart in an instant.And right then, she said smugly, "You now have to address me as Aunt Zoe."John took a deep breath, clearly a little annoyed.Even Jay had to be impressed with Zoe—rarely was anyone capable of leaving John bristling with just a few words. Nonetheless, Zoe remained serious, "You should seize your chance—you still have a few months, so don't blame your Aunt Zoe for not warning you now. Just give me a head's up when you've made up your mind, and I'll help."John rolled his eyes and ignored Zoe, whereas Jay hid a smile nearby.He should have brought her to meet John if he knew she would liven things up like this.It was certainly awkward when silence ensued between two grown men, especially since said silence could stay an entire day.But with Zoe around, awkwardness and whatnot was nonexistent. As such, Jay often brought Zoe with him to the hospital ever since the first visit.She certainly was not as cold as s

Cora certainly wanted to argue. "But, I…"John, however, remained stern and solemn. "You have much to complain about, and you feel that Zoe has stolen your rights and identity—but in reality, Zoe was the one who was hurt the most when the truth came out, and the reason is simple: rags to riches is easy, but the converse is hard."You need to understand—I'm not telling you that you're not the victim, but Zoe was never the culprit. She was sent back to where she belonged after being thrown out of this house so mercilessly, and neither of you have any excuse to vent your grievances on her."The atmosphere in the living room was stiffened.Still, Nancy was indignant to see that her daughter was left flushing by John's words, and she growled through gritted teeth, "Weren't you on my side when we first found out that Zoe wasn't my daughter? You're now completely on her side just because she's with Jay now—""It was a selfish act on my part," John said, holding her gaze without flinching

John nodded. "I know. Zoe told me."Cordy said nothing else at that, and everyone else stayed silent.She left Levine Manor after lunch but told Richard to stay since she could tell that he really wanted to stay with John.But even as she stepped outside, a familiar voice called out to her from behind. "Cordy."Cordy's heart skipped a beat, and she pursed her lips and turned to find John standing there."Your phone," he said, holding it out to her.It turned out that she had left it on the couch."Thank you," she said as she took it, surprised that she would have left it in Levine Manor—she would never usually forget things.Even so, she had to admit that her emotions were affected when she saw John's face restored to how it was, no matter how hard she tried to ignore it."When's the wedding?" John asked."We haven't decided," Cordy said. "It'll be in a few months."John smiled faintly in turn. "Congratulations.""Thank you.""Do you need a ride?" John asked. "It's easy to

The wedding would be in two months.Zoe had a feeling she could not quite describe as she browsed the photos Cordy sent, especially since John was discussing rebuilding Levine Ventures with Jay in the house.She mused if she should show John the photos and actually make him give up.Judging from the current state of things, John really showed no intention of getting Cordy back. In fact, he had put on his workaholic form again and completely focused on work.She walked over and asked, "Want another coffee?"John nodded and gently pushed his cup to the side, letting her refill it without glancing her way.Zoe was speechless—she was supposed to be his elder, his aunt, and he did not even thank her.However, she seemed used to it and refilled both John and Jay's cups.Still, she had to admit that men were so good looking when they were working seriously. They were both seated at the table in front of the glass wall, and it was honestly a feast for the eyes as the sun illuminated
