After exchanging glances with Sean and coming to a tacit agreement, Tatiana proposed, “Silas, Cyrus, you are both working. Since I’m free, I will take turns looking after Lyse with Sean. Please go home and rest.”
“I’m fine, though. I took leave with the police department,” Cyrus immediately rejected he
He let out a guilty sigh. “As Lyse’s brother, I have never done anything for her. I can’t call my brother if I don’t stay by her side when she needs someone.”
The Taylor siblings were never as calculative and greedy as the children of other distinguished families. Their unity and strong bond were envied by many.
“Jonah, did you arrange for us to take over because you have something else to do?” Silas questioned with his sharp instincts as a prosecutor.
He sensed that Jonah was acting weird and suppressing rage.
Jonah admitted, “Yes, I need to attend to something.”
Then, he looked at the door and hesitated before entering. The nurse had changed Alyssa’s dressing, and Alyssa put on the oversized patient robe. She was now resting on the bed with her eyes closed. He had no idea if she was asleep or not.
He quietly approached her and bent over to give her a kiss on the forehead. He mumbled, “Rest well, my princess. I’ll be back to visit you again.”
Without opening her eyes, she weakly muttered, “Jonah, I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.”
Her reassurance only deepened Jonah’s pain. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he fought against them.
Jonah, wearing a grim expression, headed to the underground parking garage. At his car, he heard Julien’s voice behind him. “Jonah!”
Jonah paused, took a deep breath, then slowly turned to face Julien in the dim lighting.
Despite the dim environment, Julien noticed the anger and tears in Jonah’s eyes. It was a shock to him.
Jonah was oblivious to his allure at that moment. Julien was deeply attracted to the pain and vulnerability underneath Jonah’s tough exterior.
Jonah collected himself and fixed his gaze on Julien. “What’s the matter?”
Squinting, Julien approached Jonah slowly. Their eyes met, and their breaths intermingled.
Suddenly, Julien reached out and gently caressed the corner of Jonah’s eye. Jonah’s heart raced, and his breathing grew heavy.
“I know you feel bad for your sister. I understand your feeling,” Julien whispered into Jonah’s ear. “But promise me, don’t do anything rash. You wouldn’t want to worry your princess, right? I’ll be worried about you, too.”
Jonah’s ears turned red. Some unknown emotions stirred within.
Julien straightened his back and put on an impish smile once more. “I won’t ask for a ride because you’re busy. Looks like I can’t go home anytime soon. I should buy a car at the dealership later so I can go around easier.
“Jonah, do you know anyone at the dealership? Can I get a discount?”
Jonah, breathing heavily, grabbed Julien’s wrist. Julien’s eyes wavered, and his heart was beating like crazy.
Jonah, pursing his lips, drew Julien closer to his heaving chest. He remarked, “Giving you a ride doesn’t take up much time. Pick any car you like from the underground garage when you return to Heightsnew
Villa.”
Jeremy did not take anything for two days except for some water. He was sleeping for the rest of the time.
Xavier, gravely concerned, stayed beside him to take care of him. He even prayed for Jeremy’s health. He’d rather be the one suffering than see Jeremy suffer.
Ever since Jeremy left Alyssa, he had been living in hell.
Landon called Xavier, asking, “Xavier, how’s your boss doing? Is he awake now? I’ll droj
“Mr. Landon, you don’t have to. He’s sleeping after taking his meds,” Xavier replied in frust
“Did he take the medicine for his sickness, or did he just pop some sleeping pills? He’s been sleeping a lot after taking his meds. If he’s not doing well, I’ll secretly get him to the hospital.”
“It’s fine, Mr. Landon. The other doctors cannot be of help to Mr. Walsh if even Dr. Burton is stumped by his condition.” Xavier turned to look at Jeremy with a heavy heart, musing, “Sometimes, I wonder if there’s a need to take the medicine.”
“Why so?”
“The side effects are severe. The medicine will cure Mr. Walsh’s tremors, but he will vomit frequently and feel drowsy. It feels like just another form of suffering. I’m worried that he’ll be a mess if he keeps taking the medicine.”
Hearing that, Landon went speechless in disbelief.
“Mr. Walsh has sacrificed a lot for Ms. Alyssa. She’s the reason he’s suffering today. Why can’t she give him a chance?” Xavier blurted out without thinking.
“Xavier, don’t say that,” Landon warned and, after a pause, sighed. “Lyse has never done anything wrong to Jeremy. It seems like Jeremy is going through a tough time now. Just think of it as making up for his mistake.”
“You were by Jeremy’s side throughout their three years of marriage. You knew what he had done to
Alyssa, and he has to make amends to her as long as he’s alive,” Landon reminded Xavier.
Xavier felt a stab in his heart when he recalled Alyssa’s helplessness when she was living with the
Walsh’s. Despite that, she remained a loyal and loving wife to Jeremy.
Tears rolled down Xavier’s cheeks as he lamented Jeremy’s suffering. However, he knew that Alyssa had suffered a lot of heartache as well.
Xavier didn’t want Jeremy to wake up and have no one by his side, so he crashed on Jeremy’s couch that night without changing.
He woke up the next morning without an alarm and reflexively looked in Jeremy’s direction. He was shocked to find the bed empty. Where did Jeremy go?
“Mr. Walsh? Mr. Walsh?” Xavier shot up from the couch and panickedly looked around the room for
Jeremy.
He found Jeremy all dressed up and marching out of the bathroom. Jeremy was dressed in a three- piece suit, complete with a wristwatch, a tie, and a lapel pin. He was decked in all the right accessories.
Gone was Jeremy’s sickly appearance as he stood there, intimidating and important. Xavier nearly forgot how vulnerable he looked last night.
“Anything wrong with my face?” Jeremy wondered as he buttoned his sleeves.
He still sounded a little weak, but it was hard to notice.
“Mr. Walsh, why are you up? You need more rest!” Xavier said, concerned about his health.
“There is an important strategy meeting today at the Walsh Group. I need to attend,” Jeremy replied, looking calm.
“Damn! I forgot about it!” Xavier exclaimed as he smacked his forehead.
Soon, he advised Jeremy, “Mr, Walsh, you are still sick. How about skipping today’s meeting? Don’t be too hard on yourself.”
Jeremy, looking pale and frigid, gestured at Xavier to shut up. He reassured Xavier, “I’
ready.”
At 10:00 am, a black Rolls-Royce showed up on time by the entrance of the Walsh Group Tower. The ostentatious car plate of A9999 immediately attracted much attention.
“A car plate reading A9999? What a rare combination!” the passersby whispered to each other.
“I recalled seeing this number plate on an auction. The news reported it because the winning bid was 20 million dollars!”
“What the fuck? Is there a car plate worth 20 million dollars? That is beyond the imagination of an ordinary man!”
“I’m curious about the car owner.”
“He or she must be a society elite that we will never cross paths with, without a doubt.”
At the same time, Jonah was seated in the Rolls-Royce, reading a Bible that rested on his thighs. He clasped a cross and mumbled inaudibly.
After saying his prayers, he slowly closed the Bible and muttered, “Amen.”
His eyes burned in resentment as though his dormant inner devil had been unleashed.
Sean opened the car door and stepped out from the passenger seat.
Today, Jonah called him in for a temporary role, turning him back into the secretary of the CEO of KS
Group.
He dressed in a high-end, tailored gray suit, and his sharp gaze added an overwhelming charm to his already handsome appearance.
