13: Chapter 13: I Hold You 13: Chapter 13: I Hold You A chaotic atmosphere.
After the calm, the woman in the hospital bed received an injection and was finally able to sleep soundly.
Jas Thompson, having done a good deed, went to wash his hands.
He looked at his slender fingers and silently chuckled.
Julia Land slowly opened her eyes and slled the disinfectant of the hospital.
She heard a man lowering his voice to speak.
Once she collected herself, she turned her head and saw a man quietly making a phone call by the window not far away.
His voice was extrely hoarse, but what he discussed carried a hint of coldness, “Make sure he spends his life in prison.”
Trevor Sullivan laughed on the other end of the phone, “Jas Thompson, you’re actually getting angry over a woman.
That’s not like you.”
“Possessed by a ghost,” Jas said lazily, his words tinged with sarcasm, “I should find a high monk to chant so scriptures soday.”
“Sure, I’ll handle it!” Trevor declared enthusiastically.
Jas, sensing soone watching him, turned his head and saw the lady on the hospital bed staring at him with wide, bewildered eyes.
His lips slightly curled and he imdiately hung up on his friend.
“You’re awake.”
Julia wished she could remain unconscious for a while longer.
Her mind hazily recalled last night’s events.
He…
he had actually helped…
helped ease…
Julia’s cheeks flushed, and she closed her eyes, pulling the blanket over her head with both hands.
No, I’m not awake.
I’m dying.
Jas raised an eyebrow, walked to the bedside, and looked at the woman hiding under the covers, “What are you hiding from?
Co out.”
…
Julia genuinely played dead.
Too awkward.
After a while, she thought she heard soone opening the door to leave.
Julia then slowly peeked out from under the blanket, and the instant she did, she saw Jas standing beside her bed with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
“Dr.
Thompson, what a coincidence.”
She pretended not to rember last night.
As long as she didn’t ntion it, he wouldn’t know that she rembered her reckless actions from the night before.
Jas opened a thermos, gave her a aningful look, and said, “Get up and have so chicken soup.”
He had just stepped out to get the chicken soup.
She sat up, her hair cascading over her shoulders, her beautiful face looking sowhat silly.
Her voice hoarse, she asked, “Dr.
Thompson, how co you’re here working as a doctor?”
A white coat still adorned him.
Jas, dragging out his tone lazily arched his eyebrows, “Why aren’t you calling uncle anymore?”
Julia, ears reddening, calmly replied, “Uncle.”
Jas tugged the corners of his lips, chuckling.
She called, and her stomach imdiately growled in response.
Others in the hospital had family and friends to care for them.
She was still all alone, looking rather pitiful.
The thermos Jas had opened wafted out the aroma of chicken soup, enticingly fragrant.
“This is chicken soup made from free-range chicken; drink this to settle your stomach first.
Let know if you want sothing else to eat.”
He set a still-steaming bowl of chicken soup on her bedside table.
Julia, not expecting him to have prepared chicken soup for her since they were not very close, said, “Thank you.”
If it hadn’t been for him saving her last night, she might have dragged Wesley Turner with her to hell.
Noah Quarter could be ruthless.
Jas, seeing her embarrassed, laughed teasingly, “This chicken cost a hundred yuan; rember to transfer the money.”
Julia nodded crisply, “Okay.”
She carefully got out of bed, avoiding touching the wound on her left hand, but her legs went soft and she nearly knelt down.
Julia, “…”
Her legs so weak.
Her face so hot.
Fortunately, Jas steadied her.
“I’ll carry you there.”
He knew she needed to go to the restroom to freshen up.
Being carried in his arms, Julia instantly recalled her foolish act from the night before.
She had bitten him.
Julia tried to remain composed as she thanked him, “Thank you.”
“You’re welco, just don’t bite ,” Jas said casually and teasingly.
Julia, “…”
Being ever helpful, Jas even squeezed toothpaste onto her toothbrush for her, “Brush, I’m holding you.”
Julia had regained a bit of strength, but her body was still weak.
Wesley Turner’s dication was potent.
She didn’t waste words and rinsed her mouth and brushed her teeth.
Seeing her long hair in disarray, Jas Thompson grabbed a comb and smoothed her hair for her.
He had never imagined.
That one day he would be combing a woman’s hair.
Julia Land paused, then continued grinning as she brushed her teeth.
The woman in the mirror had half of her face slightly swollen from being hit.
It was quite a ss.
Lately, her face was often struck.
She smiled helplessly.
When she needed to use the restroom, Jas Thompson stepped out.
The sound of dripping water ca from the bathroom.
Jas Thompson, looking normal, took the opportunity to send a ssage to his friend complaining about him abruptly hanging up.
When Julia Land ca out of the bathroom and saw Jas Thompson waiting outside the door, she felt incredibly embarrassed.
Julia Land sipped the hot chicken soup in small amounts as Jas Thompson sat on the couch waiting for her to finish before talking about another matter.
“Tomorrow, I will arrange for you to have an abortion.”
Julia Land wiped the corner of her mouth and said softly, “Okay.”
Jas Thompson was silent for a mont, “The dication you drank last night was found to be extrely harmful to the fetus, I’m sorry.”
Julia Land shook her head, tugged at the corner of her mouth, “You saved , there’s nothing to be sorry about, the child…
was going to be terminated anyway.”
“Do you have my cell number saved?” Jas Thompson took out his phone, eyes lowered toward Julia Land, “As a gesture of courtesy, give your number too.”
“Oh, alright.” Julia Land recited her cell number to Jas Thompson.
“Let’s add each other on WeChat, so you can reach out to anyti if you need help.”
“Okay.”
Julia Land looked for her phone.
Jas Thompson opened the bedside cabinet and handed her a pink phone.
“Thank you.”
Julia Land opened her WeChat and let him scan the QR code.
Jas Thompson saw the pear picture on her WeChat, which was quite cute.
He leaned down, staring into her eyes, and said again, “If you need anything in the future, feel free to contact .”
Julia Land slled the scent of disinfectant on the white coat the man was wearing and oddly didn’t find it unpleasant.
She smiled, “Doctor Thompson, may I treat you to a al soti?”
“Sure, I have more outpatient work later, text if you want to eat anything else.”
Julia Land nodded, “Yes, thank you.”
Jas Thompson looked at his watch, a bit concerned, “Should I find a caregiver to stay with you?”
“No need.”
She wasn’t seriously injured.
Seeing that she had drunk the chicken soup and her complexion had regained so color, Jas Thompson decided not to insist and prepared to leave for work.
Just as he left the sickroom, his WeChat notified him of a new ssage.
He checked and saw that Julia Land had transferred him one hundred yuan for the chicken soup and had also sent a “nice guy” card.
Jas Thompson smiled.
Julia Land looked down at her phone, replying to a ssage from her best friend abroad, then scrolled down to find Noah Quarter’s profile and called him.
The call was answered quickly.
Julia Land coldly asked, “Where is Little Violet?
Can you tell now?”
Noah Quarter put down his coffee, his voice chilly, “Julia Land, how about we talk about another deal, with a term of six months?”
Julia Land clenched her phone, her voice icy, “I will not discuss another deal with you.”
“You will agree,” Noah Quarter said calmly, sure of himself, “I have found a suitable bone marrow.”
“What do you an?”
Julia Land asked hoarsely.
Little Violet had been waiting for suitable bone marrow.
“Suitable for your childhood friend.”
His voice grew colder.
Julia Land thought for a second, her fingers clutching at her hospital gown, “What kind of deal do you want to make?
“First, you return to the Quarter Family and continue as a secretary for six months, and second, pretend in front of our grandmother that we have reconciled.”
Last night, late at night, Mrs.
Quarter had a dical crisis.
The doctors had issued a critical condition notice, and although she was revived last night, she had been inford that her ti was limited.
That’s also why Julia Land wasn’t at Jade Gardens, and the old lady hadn’t noticed.
Julia Land looked up, concise and clear, “I agree to this deal, but the two of us must first file for divorce, and we can keep it hidden afterward.”
Silence on the other end of the phone.
Julia Land heard Noah Quarter faintly respond, “Agreed.”
Outside the half-closed study.
Arabella Shaw was holding a fruit plate.
She happened to appear outside the study just as Noah Quarter invited Julia Land to return to the Quarter Family as a secretary.
Arabella Shaw bit her red lips, her beautiful eyes filled with unwillingness and malice.
Julia Land!
