Chapter 587 A DROP OF BLOOD
"Hwatchi…" Apple rubbed her nose after she sneezed and wondered if she caught the flu. Her body wasn't very hot, but of course her body temperature was above the normal temperature of a healthy person.
Meanwhile, Jayden that was lying by her side just smiled at her, who didn't stop sneezing. He then handed her a box of tissues.
"I think I infected you," he said lightly, while Apple took the tissues and snorted hard, showing how annoyed she was.
Now they were in the car, returning to city A after attending the luncheon.
And since Jayden was reportedly still recovering from his fever, the two of them could skip the last get-together and head straight for the car.
If only they had known, Jayden was much healthier than he looked. It could even be said that he was so healthy that there was nothing to worry about.
"It's like you did infect me," Apple grumbled. She then threw the tissue in her hand into the almost full trash can in the car, staring at Jayden fiercely.
"You're not supposed to be around me when I'm sick, you know," Jayden defended, but his defense only made Apple more upset.
"You don't realize how clingy you can be?" Apple narrowed her eyes fiercely at Jayden. This man didn't even let go of her from his embrace, so how could he say not to get close to him.
"Oh yeah I forgot about that part." Jayden looked at Apple sitting next to him, while Anthony, who was sitting behind the wheel, stole glances at Adrian next to him. "But, at least you should be wearing clothes."
Adrian and Anthony wanted to facepalm themselves when they heard those words spoken so casually and lightly by Jayden Tordoff. This man was really hard to believe. He actually said it with no restraint at all.
"Jayden," Apple hissed, which only made Jayden tease her even more.
"What? Did I say something wrong?" he asked with an innocent expression. "I am not lying…"
"Jayden!" Apple growled and then covered the man's mouth with her hand.
Right. Mr. Tordoff's mouth should be zipped. Adrian and Anthony readily agreed with Apple's actions.
Jayden wasn't really speaking out loud and his voice even sounded like a whisper when he spoke, but in this confined space, with them being trained bodyguards, of course they could catch what Jayden said very clearly.
=======================
After returning from the resort, Apple took the time to stop by the hospital to see her father, who was still unconscious.
Not much had changed, they were just waiting for Pyro to come to his senses, but it seemed the trauma in his head had put him in his current state and it might take him a little longer to get back to his normal activities.
But, for now, his condition had stabilized and he looked much better.
After visiting her father in the hospital, Apple then returned to Jayden's penthouse, because the man had forced herself to stay there.
Because after all, the security in the penthouse was much better than her home. And for security reasons, Apple had arguably moved to live in that place for a while.
"I'll be back for dinner, okay?" Jayden kissed the top of Apple's head as they arrived at the penthouse.
"Are you leaving again?" asked Apple in disbelief. They had just arrived, and the two of them hadn't even had a chance to sit down yet, but Jayden was about to leave again. "Where are you going?"
"I have business to attend to," Jayden replied, then hugged Apple tightly. "If you think your flu is getting worse, give me a call or call the Tordoff family doctor right away, okay?"
Jayden wanted to call the doctor before they departed, but Apple insisted she was fine. It was just a mild flu and she caught it from Jayden, so it wasn't anything serious.
"Where are you going?" asked Apple as she pulled herself away from Jayden, then glared at him.
"Work."
Apple raised her eyebrows. "Work? Are you going to see Misha?" she asked in an accusing voice, as if she knew what Jayden would answer.
"Why? Are you jealous?" Jayden touched the top of Apple's nose and laughed softly as he watched the girl try to slap his hand away. "Don't think anything of it, Misha and I are just cousins."
This guy really knew how to divert the real issue with his absurd jokes.
"Oh, should I worry now? You seem to like Misha more than me," Apple said, following Jayden's game. "You'd rather be with him now than with me."
"Nonsense," said Jayden, he frowned, when he heard that he liked Misha more. "There's no way I like him, you're much prettier than him. Ow!"
Apple pinched Jayden's waist for his comments. How could he compare Apple's beauty to that of a man?
"I'll be back by dinner time, okay?" Jayden said with a laugh. "I promise I won't be late."
Hearing that, Apple could only sigh heavily. "Okay," she answered lightly while crossing her arms in front of her chest. "But don't let me see any bloodstains on your clothes."
"What?" Jayden was a little surprised to hear that.
Then Apple walked over to tidy up the collar of his shirt. "You think I don't know what you're going to do with your dear cousin?"
=======================
Screams of pain could be heard very clearly in the room, echoing between the walls and giving anyone who heard them goosebumps.
However, Misha and Jayden didn't seem too affected by this scene before them.
"These are the only people I can get hold of, while our men have already infiltrated into the Gevano family company and are observing their movements." Misha reported this to Jayden. "Why are you standing so far away?" Misha frowned as he saw Jayden standing tightly against the wall, away from the torturing scene before his eyes.
"Apple will kill me if my clothes get bloodstained," Jayden replied flatly.
