Chapter 99 - She Had Been Abandoned
Chapter 99: She Had Been Abandoned
After a round of laughter, Jayce, who had been standing by the side and had not said a word, finally spoke, “Mary, you’ve met your second brother. We’ll have more time to spend together in the future. You’ve just woken up. If there’s anything else, we’ll talk about it when you’re better.”
Mary raised her head and looked at Jayce with a very calm gaze. Then, she nodded.
Jayce met Mary’s gaze. The calmness in her eyes surprised him.
However, Jayce did not think too deeply about it. Instead, he asked his youngest brother, “Herman, how is she now?”
Herman was wearing a white coat. His tone was calm. “She’s fine now. She’ll be discharged to New York in a few days.”
Jayce said, “In that case, Nelson and I will go back first. What about you?”
Herman shook his head. “I will wait here for her to be discharged. However, I mainly want to take a good look at this silly girl’s silly appearance and take more photos so that she won’t talk back to me when she is discharged!”
The more Mary listened, the more confused she became. Seeing that the four brothers were about to leave together, Mary stopped Jayce.
“I have some doubts. If I don’t get an answer, I think I might not be able to have a good rest for the time being!”
Mary propped herself up and looked at Jayce.
Jayce looked at Herman. After getting permission from Herman, Jayce stayed behind.
The other three brothers left the ward.
Jayce sat down on the sofa next to them. His gaze was still as gentle and gentlemanly as before, as if nothing unpleasant had ever happened between them.
Mary was anxious to know the truth, so she was no longer embarrassed. She asked, “Where am I now?”
Jayce replied, “Philadelphia.”
Mary asked, “How long have I been unconscious?”
Jayce replied, “About three days.”
Mary asked, “Was I sent here from Warren City? What about the flood there? How did I get sent here?”
Mary looked anxious. Obviously, if she didn’t know the answer, she wouldn’t be able to recover in peace.
Jace answered her one by one, “After the flood, Warren City fell and lost contact with everyone.
“Nelson rushed back from Los Angeles. Three days ago, the four of us rushed to Philadelphia together, ready to go to Warren City to save you.
“Who knew that we would run into you on the way.
“Monroe said that you came out on a yacht. After driving out of the city for another hour or two, the rain stopped, and the water became shallow. So, he abandoned the boat and bought two old cars on the side of the road.
“Later, because you restored the communication signal, we got in touch. As soon as we met, you were in a coma with a high fever and immediately returned to Philadelphia, the nearest city.
“This hospital is jointly invested by Herman, so he can personally be your attending physician.
“Are there any other doubts?” Although Jayce asked Mary gently, he was already looking at the time on his watch.
It was obvious that he had wasted a lot of time when he left New York in the past few days.
Mary’s condition was stable, so there was really no need for him to stay here.
“Yes!” She replied.
Mary looked at Jayce, the anxiety in her eyes growing deeper. “Where’s Monroe? Where are the rest of the people from the Raging Flame Corporation?”
Jayce paused. He thought that she was going to ask…something else…
He decided to let it go, after all, they had escaped together and gone through life and death together. It was common sense to ask for their companions first.
Jayce replied, “Monroe has something important to deal with. He has already led his subordinates back to New York ahead of time.”
Mary’s heart suddenly felt empty. He left? Just like that?
He didn’t wait for her to wake up before leaving…?
No matter how urgent the matter was, it would be good to leave a trusted aide for her!
She had woken up, but she didn’t see him. At least she had a sense of confidence!
He left just like that… she felt wronged as if she had been abandoned.
“What happened to you?” Jayce noticed the disappointment and grievance on Mary’s face.
There seemed to be tears in her eyes as well.
For a moment, he hesitated and moved his fingers. Finally, he got up and walked to the bedside.
“What’s wrong?” Jayce asked again in a low voice. His tone was still gentle, but it was less polite than before.
Mary had a momentary illusion. It was as if Jayce had returned to the time when they first met.
“It’s nothing! It’s just that… Monroe has gone too far! After all, we’ve gone through, we even went through life and death situations together, and yet, he didn’t even leave me a message!” Mary held back her tears. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. What was wrong with Monroe?
Were the words he had confessed to her all fake?
Mary knew that she had to get better as soon as possible. Only when she returned to New York would she know what Monroe was thinking!
Mary raised her head to look at Jayce again. She did not notice the complicated look in his eyes at all. She only said, “Thank you, for staying here for me and waiting for me to wake up! Thank you so much! I can feel your sincerity towards me. I’m very happy!”
Mary was really touched by this point.
Especially when she knew that they knew that the flood in Warren city was serious and that they had lost contact with the outside world, but they still planned to go in and rescue them together!
