Jasper smiled. “Are you hurt?”
Chad shook his head. “You saved me at that crucial moment so I just got a small nick in my arm. I’m so sorry, Mr. Laine!”
Chad had just spoken when the woman beside him fell to her knees before Jasper and sobbed. “You’re our family’s savior, Mr. Laine. I don’t know how to thank you for what you’ve done!”
Jasper quickly gestured for Wendy to help the woman up before he smiled and spoke, “You must be Mrs. Wright, then?”
“No, please, call me by my name, Mr. Laine. I’m Alina Tyler.”
“Chad’s older than me by quite a bit. It’s only right I call you Mrs. Wright.
“It’s not that big of a deal, actually. I’m awake now, aren’t I?”
Jasper then turned to Chad. “What has been going on outside these two days?”
Chad sighed. “A lot of people have their eyes on you now. But at the same time, that’s also all the extent of it. Marcus was supposed to pay the 950 million yesterday but he didn’t, and the city government didn’t react either.”
“So they’re all waiting to see if I would make it out alive or not, hmm?” Jasper commented indifferently.
“I suppose my waking up would disappoint quite a few of them.”
“Jasp,” Wendy called out.
Jasper turned to look at her.
Wendy spoke with a slightly weird expression, “I actually came here on Henry’s private plane. He’s been here this entire time too, but I think he found out that the people who hurt you are in the same hospital. They’re in the other inpatient building. Around ten minutes before you woke up, he brought Fallon and went over.”
Jasper was stunned. “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
“There’s nothing wrong with Henry teaching them a lesson. Plus, he has Fallon with him. He’ll be fine,” Wendy spoke with a pout.
Women, no matter how knowledgeable, would channel all their thoughts to their men once they had one by their side.
A petty woman whose man was treated badly outside was much more terrifying than a man could ever be.
Jasper rubbed his temples and spoke, “Pass me my phone?”
Wendy was about to grab his phone when the door to the ward was pushed open again.
It had been a few days since they last met. Ned was kicked into the room pathetically with his right arm in a cast and his hospital robe in shreds.
Had it not been for the fact that Ned had a unique physique, Jasper might not even be able to recognize the man before him. Ned had tears and snot streaming down his face that was covered in bruises.
Henry followed into the room after. The sinister look on his face immediately morphed into a wide smile when he saw Jasper’s widened eyes.
“Hey, you’re awake! I knew you’d be fine. As if God would take *ssholes like you to cause trouble for him up in heaven.”
As expected, that was just how Young Master Law spoke.
Jasper pointed at Ned who was still crying. “What happened to him?”
“What do you think?”
Henry grinned, yet his eyes were terrifyingly dark. “This f*cker thinks that just because he’s a trust-fund baby and has a rich dad, he can do whatever he likes. Well then, today I’m going to teach him what it means to be a trust-fund baby.”
Henry walked over and grabbed Ned’s chin before slapping him across the face, shouting, “Weren’t you f*cking proud of yourself just now? Hiring professionals to beat up Jasper, huh? Go ahead then, I’d like to see you call more of them over.”
Logically speaking, Henry should not be able to win Ned in a fight. Jasper assumed that it was Fallon who had done the physical work, but when he looked out the door, he saw ten professional bodyguards in suits standing outside. ‘Good job, man.’
“That’s my team of bodyguards from Harbor City. I called them over this time as well.”
Henry grinned at Jasper.
