Chapter 511 Love at First Sight

Evelyn shot a glance at me with a hint of regret. "I'm fine. I don't get mad over things a child says," I replied.Jolene might be in her 20s, but her mannerism was like that of a womanchild. Just the thought that Evelyn gave every ounce of her love to this one girl made me jealous. I had to admit, the fact that Jolene didn't like me was good news to me. At least I didn't have to assume the role of the kind older sibling despite harboring zero affection for her. Unfortunately, my words had provoked Jolene. She marched toward me and stared me down. "Who are you calling a child?! I'm 22, bitch!" I frowned. How rude could this girl be?"Excuse me, but can you please keep it down? This is a hospital. It's not a place for you to shout," Mason spoke up disapprovingly. Jolene hadn’t expected anyone to stand with me. She turned sharply, ready to shout at her next victim when she saw Mason. Her eyes shifted a little. Exasperatedly, she hung her head. "Sorry. I got a little emotional t

Chapter 512 Slapped

Jolene was quite self-conscious as she asked me this. I suspected it was because she knew she hadn't been respectful to me."I do, but I'm not giving you," I answered.What if Mason didn't like her? Wouldn't this bring him a whole lot of trouble?Her eyes shone for a bit just to die down. She leaped to her feet and raised her voice. "What. The. Hell? Do you think it's funny?! Toying around with me like that? What's the meaning of this?"I glared back at her. I really hated her attitude. "Why am I obligated to give you his number? Do I owe you something?" She trained her finger at me. "Don't you dare talk to me like that!""Jojo!" Evelyn chided. She glared at Jolene, irritated. Maybe she thought that if Jolene antagonized me further, I would stop wanting to be close to Evelyn herself."You saw her attitude toward me, Mom! She started it! I didn't do anything wrong!" Jolene protested. "I don't think Rina did anything wrong. She simply declined to give you the boy's number. Does

Chapter 513 Testing Mason’s Interest Level

"Okay, Mom. I'll change into something more comfortable and come back down." I smiled and went upstairs. Thank god I had Doris to help me out.Through my exhaustion, I stepped into the shower. There wasn't much for me to do in the hospital, but caring for someone felt like a more taxing job than actual work.Jethro arrived home right after I was done. He scanned me from head to toe before pulling me into a hug. "How did the visit go? Was it tough for you?""No. Jolene was a bit of a problem, but overall, the visit was fine. I still can’t really forgive Evelyn though.""Take it slow. Forgiveness takes time," he said, setting his chin on my head. I sighed.I stayed home for slightly over an hour. Jethro had offered to drive me to the hospital, but I declined. He must have been tired from work as it was. I knew he was worried about me, but in the end, my insistence outlasted his persistence. He reminded me over and over to be careful on the road.I bumped into Mason on the floor w

Chapter 514 Are You Seeing Anyone?

"What if I tell you that girl is smitten with you? Would you believe me?""Yeah, I would," Mason answered confidently. I found his narcissism ridiculous, and I still remember the way he rejected girls. "Damn, you're that confident?""Of course. I'm handsome and rich. Any girl would easily fall for me. I'd be surprised if she doesn't." He flipped his streaky-blond hair. "Ugh! Unbelievable!" I liked talking to Mason. The way he spoke would always make me feel relaxed. I honestly thought it was through great luck and an honor to be his friend. "What? Do you want me to change? I mean, you seem to favor Jett's silent, brooding, fuck-the-world-they-all-owe-me-money vibe, right?" he replied irreverently, "You know, Jett and his uber-punchable face."I laughed. If Jethro were here, I wouldn't know who would be the one getting smacked in the face. No one else would’ve dared comment on Jethro this way, and I almost wished he was here to hear it."Should I tell him this is what you th

Chapter 515 Scoping Out the Situation

I had never seen Mason look so awkward before. He probably wouldn't even bother answering if this was anyone else, but because Evelyn was my mom, he had to answer. I listened to their exchange emotionlessly. Evelyn had the right to care for Jolene's welfare, yes, but I still didn't feel good seeing it. "So you're single!" Evelyn chirped, sounding very pleased."Yeah, at the moment," Mason replied slowly, his smile wooden."Jojo has a great impression of you, but she's not here at the moment. Otherwise, you two would have gotten to know each other. That would be great," she said. Her eyes showed momentary worry when she mentioned Jolene. "Good joke, Mrs. Evelyn. I don't even know your daughter though. I doubt she was talking about me," Mason replied in a roundabout way.I could tell he had no feelings or interest in Jolene. This was probably his attempt to clue Evelyn in."Nonsense. The two of you met this afternoon. But maybe there were too many people in the room, so you don

Chapter 516 Jolene's Disappearance

My words were harsh, and I noticed Evelyn’s face turn pale. Her eyes brimmed with panic, and her demeanor conveyed deep concern about what I had said."I know you're not fond of Jojo, but she's still your sister," she said sadly."Let's not talk about this right now. I don't wish to discuss it. Here, have some more soup. I'll leave after you've gone to sleep." I knew she wanted me to get along with Jolene, but I had no fondness for that arrogant girl, so I didn't want to continue the conversation."Rina, can I…ask you for a favor?" she asked hesitantly. Her cautious look suggested she was wary of my reaction."If it's within my power, I'll help." Given her illness, I was inclined to assist her with any reasonable request."Jojo left at noon and hasn't returned yet. I've tried calling her several times, but she's not answering, and now her phone’s off. I'm worried about her. Can you help me find her?" Worry was etched all over Evelyn’s face as she spoke.Her troubled look earlier

Chapter 517 Every Problem Seems Solvable When You’re Around

"What choice do we have? The thought of Evelyn worried over Jolene makes me uneasy." I understood the difficulty of finding someone without leads but still felt compelled to try."We should head back and rest for tonight. I'll get the police involved tomorrow. They have more resources and tracking systems to locate people.""All right, that sounds like the best plan for now." I acquiesced to Jethro's suggestion, recognizing the futility of a blind search tonight.Once back at the Willow residence, I was overcome by exhaustion and instantly fell asleep despite not having worked during the day. My concerns for Jolene caused me to wake up early the next morning, but there was still no news about her. I couldn't help feeling anxious as I thought about the situation.Jethro, who had already started his day, returned to the room when he noticed I was awake. He sat by my side and gently drew me into his arms. "It's still early. Get some more rest. I've called the police, and they've alrea

Chapter 518 Taking Jolene for a Check-up

Jolene reacted differently upon seeing me though. Her emotions intensified dramatically. "Get away! I don’t want to see you!" she screamed, pushing me away frantically."Jolene, look carefully! It’s Serena!" I believed she was mistaking me for the men who had assaulted her, so I grabbed her arm, attempting to help her recognize me."I don’t want to see you! It’s all your fault I ended up like this! I hate you! I will never forgive you, Serena!" Jolene—her hair and appearance disheveled—shouted at me. The bruises and marks on her neck and chest only added to the pitiful sight.Though I knew she disliked me, and the feeling was mutual, seeing her in such a state, I couldn't remain indifferent. I sat beside her, trying to offer comfort."Calm down, Jolene. I’m here to take you back," I said with a frown."Why did you have to show up? If it weren’t for you, this wouldn’t have happened to me! This is all your fault!" Jolene’s voice became shrill as she grabbed my shoulders, shaking me

Chapter 519 The Despondent Jolene

I intended to stay with Jolene, but considering my presence might exacerbate her distress, I simply prepared some food for her before departing with Jethro.In the car, my brows were deeply furrowed, my mind troubled by Jolene’s situation. I was at a loss about how to break the news to Evelyn. A part of me questioned whether things might have been different if I had begun searching for Jolene earlier. The guilt of not finding her sooner weighed on me."Still thinking about Jolene?" Jethro’s soft query broke the silence, turning toward me with concern."Yeah. I don’t know how to explain it to Evelyn. How could such a thing happen?" I voiced my worry."Whatever happened, it's not something you are to be blamed for." Jethro’s tone was pragmatic, though his words lacked empathy for Jolene’s plight.Although his words made sense, I felt that being a victim of such an incident was something no one could ever be prepared for."Last night's incident has damaged her reputation. It’ll affe

Chapter 520 Up So Early

Throughout the day I spent caring for Evelyn, there were several moments when I wanted to tell her about Jolene's ordeal, but I just couldn’t find the right words. I was concerned that the news might overwhelm her after she was discharged. Even as I left the hospital that evening, I hadn’t mentioned a word.I told Evelyn I wouldn't be able to visit the next day due to work commitments. While she seemed slightly disappointed, she didn’t voice any complaints. She seemed to be satisfied by my presence over the last two days.Returning home that night, I felt exhausted as if I had run a marathon. The day in the hospital, though uneventful, was emotionally taxing.Jethro came downstairs post-shower and gave me a brief glance before grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge and handing it to me."Thanks," I murmured, gratefully accepting the water."You still haven't had the heart to tell her about Jolene," Jethro remarked, his tone nonchalant yet perceptive."How did you know?" I was
