chapter 9

“Gilbert!” The door was pushed open, and Adrian threw away the phone while sitting up obediently on the bed.

Although a 1.8-meter tall man could hardly be related to the word "obedient", Adrian somehow managed to express the meaning of this word fully. "Gilbert, I want to be discharged."

“No!” James rejected subconsciously. “You’re a doctor yourself. Don’t you know how dangerous of a situation you’re in now?”

“I know. I’m almost recovered, and the wound has almost healed too.” Adrian put on an expression that said that he understood everything.

“What do you know? Your head is injured. You know nothing,” James hissed and placed the lunch on the table. But he saw that there was another lunchbox on the table. “Who brought it to you?”

For some reason, his eyes turned a little dark. He opened the lunch box. It had all of Adrian’s favorite foods.

“It was given by a woman called Yone. But it’s really strange. She came over and brought lunch, but said nothing. She just kept crying.” Adrian sighed. “I felt sorry when I saw her crying like that.”

“You feel sorry for her?!” James gritted his teeth.

“Ahem!” When Adrian was about to explain himself, Jasper coughed outside the ward with a gloomy expression.

“What are you doing here? Are you here to separate us again? I’m warning you, even if we’re besties, I will never allow you to separate us!” Adrian had a protective look.

Jasper rubbed his brow. This bastard was usually good-mannered and seemed disinterested in sex, so what had he been reading secretly that after his brain went through the trauma in the explosion, he created such a plot on his own?

He did not even have time to take care of his wife, so how could he bother with separating them?

“Enough with the plots in your head and let go of this man!” Jasper looked at James with a pitying look and patted his shoulder.

Truly, he was in such an awkward situation.

As a young master of the Ross family, he had to deal with a patient that had delusions of grandeur.

“There might be no cure for your bestie’s head.” James sighed. For the first time, he felt that he was really familiar with Jasper, but just got to know him too late.

“Don’t touch my wife!” Adrian wanted to protect his lover and jumped off the bed to stand between them. He was afraid that they would catch each other’s fancy.

Jasper was so mad that his face turned red. He pulled the ear on Adrian’s shiny bald head. “Come over here, I have something to tell you.”

“Ow ow ow!” Adrian admitted defeat. He had to surrender because of Jasper’s tyranny.

James was a bit worried subconsciously. Adrian still had a wound on his head, so Jasper might make him even more stupid.

He hesitated for a while, but in the end, he said nothing.

“Lydia is back.”

In the emergency access, Jasper lit up his cigarette.

“Oh.” Adrian looked around and secretly took Jasper’s cigarette box and lighter. He lit up a cigarette for himself. “What?”

After a long time, Adrian looked at Jasper in shock. “Is this the end of the Qing Dynasty? Is the apocalypse upon us now?”

“Could you be a bit more normal. I said Lydia is back.” Jasper took a deep breath.

“Did she get resurrected from the dead? Did she come back as a zombie? Or am I now dead because of the explosion, and this is hell?” Since Adrian had a trauma, his imagination had started running really wild.

Seriously, his imagination was really wild.

“She never died. My men found out that she was brought away three years ago when she fell off the cliff. Perhaps someone had been trying to set me up since that time.” Jasper was worried that those people intended to use Lydia to deal with him...

His grandfather was indebted to Uncle Larson, and therefore, he had promised his grandfather to take care of Lydia and Uncle Larson.

If someone else provoked him, he would not show any mercy. But if it were Lydia...

“Are you telling me that Lydia came back and still thinks that you’re her boyfriend? But you married Summer, which she can’t accept and is throwing a tantrum?” Adrian guessed in amazement.

Jasper glared at Adrian. He had guessed correctly.

“I think you should make everything clear to your family and Summer. You shouldn’t hide anything from the Little Rabbit, or she will be very sad. You are a married couple, so there is no need for you to keep secrets between yourself. Just be honest. As for Lydia, it’ll be her problem if she can’t accept it.

“As long as you tell what needs to be told to everyone without any guilty conscience, you’ll be fine,” Adrian said in the manner of a bystander who had a clear view of the situation. “This definitely has something to do with the Trump family. Since you left Miller Corporation, they’ve been jumping in joy.”

“My plan has always been to clarify it. I called for a family dinner and came here to bring you over, because you’re more like a son to my mother than I am,” Jasper said resentfully. If Adrian were not injured, he could become a shield for him. “As for the Trump family, they won’t be able to do as they please for much longer.”
