“Well done! You’re really great at drawing, though your confidence could use some work! All right, you may be dismissed now. I’ll give you two thousand as a reward, so remember to collect the money from Finance tomorrow!” Xavier said with a chuckle when he saw that the drawing in the notebook was a lot better than the one on the paper. It’s as if I’m looking at the actual Cupid!
Wesley was on the verge of crying at that point. Damn it, Mr. Jackson! Why didn’t you just say that from the start? You scared the hell out of me!
The dark sky slowly brightened up, and Hannah opened her eyes slowly as a ray of sunshine came in through the window. The first thing that she saw was Fabian sitting beside her with a smile on his face.
“What are you doing?” she asked as she went wide-eyed and bolted upright instantly.
Fabian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at her reaction. Why is she so nervous?
He then brought over a wet towel and began wiping her face down.
Hannah had thought of telling him she could manage it on her own as she had rested enough, but held her tongue and decided to enjoy his tender loving care a little while longer.
I bet no one would believe me if I told them that the president of Phoenix Group was wiping me down like this! This will blow their mind off.
The thought of that made Hannah really happy and put a huge smile on her face.
Helen too, had gotten out of bed at the same time. Feeling excited, she gave Xavier a call right away, “Hello, Mr. Jackson! Do you have everything prepared like I told you to? I’ll be looking after Hannah today, so I could give you a hand if you need it!”
“Oh? That’s really nice of you, Ms. Young! Yes, all the preparations are complete, and I’ll be heading over in a bit. Thank you for so much for your help.”
“Please, there’s no need to thank me! Anyway, I’ll go pack my stuff now. See you there!” Helen let out a chuckle at how everything was going according to plan.
She then quickly packed up and rushed towards the hospital.
“Ah! I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to…” Helen was so distracted by her excitement that she bumped into someone along the way, only to realize that it was Jason before she even finished her apology.
The look on her face changed instantly, and she shot him a disdainful sneer as she said, “Oh, my! Since when does the playboy wake up so early in the morning?”
Jason pouted in response to her sarcastic remarks and shot back at her, “Hmph! How unlucky of me, starting the day by running into a foul-mouthed witch like you! I’ll have you know that I came over from Uncle Hendrick’s place first thing in the morning! In fact, Uncle Hendrick has been really nice to me!”
Jason had sent Hendrick home yesterday, and Gillian seemed to have taken a liking to him. With both of them on his side, he had nothing to fear even with Helen and Fabian around.
“You… How shameless of you!” Helen clenched her teeth in anger. I can’t believe my parents would trust this glib brat!
Jason flashed her a smug grin when he saw how angry she looked. What are you going to do about it, huh? I thought you were pretty tough threatening me with Fabian yesterday! Where does all that toughness go now?
This brat… He was already acting all smug when Hannah defended him yesterday, and now with Mom and Dad on his side. Looks like I’ll just have to teach him a lesson myself! With that in mind, Helen stomped on his foot as hard as she could before letting out a surprised yelp.
