Jason stood aside and let Helen have a full view of the people inside.
When Helen first saw Winson, she almost thought she got the wrong room. Her frantic gaze wandered to the next bed and the girl exclaimed in relief. “That’s my sister!”
“Your sister? Hey, who are you talking about?” Jason’s voice trailed off as he slowly turned around.
Wait… Hannah? So her name is Hannah?
Jason turned around and met Fabian’s piercing glare drilling through him.
Oh gosh, no! Why do all the bad things happen to me. How would I know the girl looking for Hannah is her sister? I am in deep shit! I hope Fabian’s not sending me back to my dad.
Jason’s gaze suddenly softened. “It’s just a misunderstanding, Fabian. Don’t look at me like this, please,” he implored.
Fabian wrinkled his nose at him and went toward Helen. “Hannah’s here. She has just finished her operation and she’s resting.”
Helen nodded and went in. Just as she was walking past Fabian, she stopped for a bit and mumbled, “Thanks.”
Who is he? Helen gave him a wry smile.
She felt a little odd and didn’t know what else to do. With that, she walked to Hannah.
Helen had been at college for some time. She had not seen Hannah for about half a year. “Mom told me everything. You really need to rest now. Don’t think about anything else.” She went up and held Hannah’s hands.
Hannah nodded in reply.
She felt odd about the situation and explained to Helen, “I hope you don’t mind Jason back there. He didn’t know my name, so…”
Helen recalled Jason’s attitude and anger rose in her heart. What he did was really uncalled for.
Fabian glared at Jason from the corner of his eyes sending chills down the young man’s spine. He got the hint and quickly came forward to apologize. “I’m sorry for being rude. Please forgive me.”
He told himself he should just eat up his pride and apologize. After all, he would rather lose his ego than being sent back to his father.
Helen rolled her eyes and pouted her lips. “Fine. I’ll just let it slide this time. But you’d better not make a judgment before understanding the situation next time. You’ll be so dead if you end up offending someone else.”
What? Is this girl lecturing me now? Does she know who I am?
Jason was so tempted to retaliate, but he thought of the consequences and held back.
Come on, Jason. Suck it up.
“You are so kind. Thanks for your words of advice.” Although he wore a smile on his face, it was obvious that he was putting all his effort into faking it.
Helen was emboldened by his subservient manner. “No problem. It’s my pleasure to offer some advice. I hope it helps. We should all be humble to receive criticisms so we can improve.”
Hannah thought Helen had gone too far. “Helen, that’s enough. You shouldn’t provoke him. He’s already apologized.” She cut her short.
“Fine,” Helen replied tersely as she pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.
She lifted her gaze and looked at Fabian and Jason. After some time, she got up and gave Fabian a pat on his shoulder. “You must be Hannah’s boyfriend, right?”
