Seeing Jay's action, Zoe got up from bed.
Even if she was still sleepy and exhausted, she did not hesitate at all, as she wanted to go with Jay.
When Jay noticed her action, he said, "You can rest at home…"
"I want to go with you." Zoe sounded firm.
"You don't have to worry about the Levine family's affairs," Jay uttered seriously. "Don't worry. I'll come back even if it's a serious incident."
"I won't be worried that you'll be threatened by Nancy, let alone worried that you'll abandon me. After all, you've loved me for so many years. You can't bear to part with me," Zoe explained smugly. "It's just that I'm your wife. I have the obligation to share your difficulties."
However, Jay was still slightly hesitant.
He was reluctant to see Zoe suffer any grievances in front of the Levines.
"We're a married couple. Your affairs are my concerns too. Although the Levine family holds a deep grudge against me, they're your family. So, I'm willing to accept them for you."
Jay stared at Zoe in disbelief.
If it were someone else, they would hate the Levine family to the core.
However, she could behave so generously.
"I'm not the Virgin Mary. I'm just…" Zoe looked at Jay. "In comparison with the unhappiness they brought me, the happiness you brought me is so much greater. So, I don't care very much regardless of what they do."
Jay's smile was full of tenderness but with a tinge of helplessness.
He knew that it was not as easy as she made it sound.
But at that moment, he was still warmed and touched by her words.
"Let’s go. Don't waste time." Zoe hurriedly urged Jay.
Jay was already very fast.
While they were talking, he did not stop putting on his clothes.
The driver soon rushed over to give them a ride to the Levine family's private hospital.
Cora was sitting all alone in the empty corridor. Her figure looked lonely and slim. She even covered her face with her hands and at the same time, she inevitably sobbed ceaselessly.
Zoe had no sympathy for Cora.
She was not so kind to someone who had ulterior motives toward her.
She suddenly felt mentally troubled merely because of her reverence for life.
Seemingly sensing the emotions she suppressed, Jay tightened his grasp around her hand. "Don't be scared. You have me even if anything happens."
"Hmm." Zoe nodded.
Jay could indeed give her an endless sense of security.
At that moment, Cora seemed to have heard the noise in the corridor, so she turned around to look over.
