The doctor took off his mask and said, “It’s not too bad, she’s fine. However, the patient lost a lot of blood, she’s pretty weak now. If you’d like to visit her, please limit it to ten minutes.”
“And, the patient can’t be disturbed, please don’t excite or agitate her.”
Jasper nodded his head and said, “I understand, thanks, doc…”
Although the doctor who had been busy rescuing her in the ward did not know what happened on the outside, he shot a glance after he came out from the room. He saw the way the arrogant and bossy Martin and his men, nodding and bowing modestly at Jasper, looking like a pug.
Martin’s arrogant behavior contrasts with the mysterious aura and power of Jasper’s. The doctor spoke politely spontaneously.
“It’s alright. That’s my responsibility, will you excuse me, I have some paperwork to do. If you’re paying a visit, make it fast.”
After the doctor left, the nurses came out one after another from the room. Jasper then entered the room. The concentrated smell of the sanitizer in the ward was slightly piercing.
Jasper stepped over to the side of the ward bed, he saw Penelope was staring weakly at him.
“I am sorry…”
Jasper had no idea why the first word that came out of his mouth was those two words after seeing Penelope.
Penelope’s eyes reddened at once, and spoke softly, “I should be the one to apologize… Martin, are they still here?”
“They’re gone.”
Jasper sat down.
“The next thing you should be doing is to recover. Don’t think about these matters, they won’t be coming for you anymore.”
Penelope choked and said, “Never had I thought that you’re the one to help me again.”
“The doctor said you should keep calm.”
“These are just a piece of cake.”
Jasper thought for a moment, and said, “Get well and wait until you’ve recovered. If you’re looking for a job I can help you to get one, if you’d like to continue your business and manage your company, I’ll help to get in touch with the business channels.”
“There’s a company under my name, Abbylon. The company focuses on the e-commerce platform. It’s doing quite well now, the future prospects of the company are good too.”
“I’ll help to contact them then. You can distribute your stocks to the e-commerce platform, it’ll be best to go in the future.”
Penelope was biting her lip, and replied without continuing to talk about Jasper’s topic, “I already knew about my little brother’s matter, I’m sorry…”
“There’s nothing to do with you.”
Jasper saw Penelope’s eyelids were getting heavier, knowing that the anesthesia was working, he stood up and said, “Get some sleep, I’m leaving. I’ll visit again when I’m free.”
Jasper turned and walked toward to door while saying that.
Penelope’s voice came from behind all of a sudden.
“Jasp, l, we…”
Jasper turned around, gave a smile to Penelope, and said, “We’re friends.”
Penelope fixed her gaze at Jasper, at last, she nodded with tearful eyes. Eventually, the other half of the sentence was left unspoken.
Jasper was in a bad mood after he came out of the ward. “Let’s go to Brew Splash Teahouse.”
It suddenly came to his mind that Conrad was still waiting for him. Jasper looked at the time, there was still time to talk over a meal.”
“To meet Conrad?” Henry asked.
“Yes.” Jasper nodded.
“Hey, that kid, he’s kind of popular in Harbor City.”
Henry gave a cold grin, his eyes were slightly gloomy. This was his prelude to punch someone.
“Did he provoke you?” Jasper was surprised.
