Chapter 385
It was just as she said.
“My life has been smooth sailing for more than twenty years. My parents shower me with love, and my brothers are very protective of me. I’ve never suffered until now… You… You’re the biggest storm in my life.”
Jace suddenly felt a heavy feeling in the chest. It felt as if a big hand clenched his heart, making him gasp in pain. He could barely stand steadily, so he sat down again.
It hurt as if someone had hit his head like he was in the boxing ring. He sat on the bench for a long time before he gradually recovered from his dizziness.
Two nurses who happened to pass by noticed his pale face. They approached him and asked,” Mister, are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable? Do you need the doctor’s help?” “No need. Thanks.”
Jace declined politely and stood up slowly to leave. The two nurses stared at his back as he left. One of the nurses said, “He seems lost and pale. Does he have a terminal illness?”
“He’s still young. How can that be? He looked like he was lost in love. Did someone dump him?
“Huh? That’s impossible. He’s so handsome. Why would any woman dump him? He’d be the one dumping her…” “No way? Is he really so affectionate?” “Nope! Since ancient times, the great poets who have written love poems were all playboys. Even if they are affectionate, it’ll be in a different way!” “You have a point. I can’t deny that.”
Asher’s operation was a success. However, it came with a huge price. All his bones had to be broken to be reshaped.
To recover from the high paraplegia was a tough battle with little hope and painstaking effort. A successful recovery would depend on the patient’s strong perseverance and financial power.
“There are many foreigners at the event. I can’t understand them whenever they babble. It’s great that you’re here. I’ll be depending on you to be the translator and to pick a few bottles of good wine for me.”
“Sure.” Sage agreed nonchalantly and said, “I’ll pick, but you’ll pay for it.” Nigel smiled generously. “No problem.” Then, he raised his phone and hummed, “Anyway, I’ll be swiping Sean’s card.” Sage was slightly irked by Nigel’s display of love. She decided to pick a few bottles of good wine and make them pay. She must make him pay for flaunting! When she arrived at the event, she unexpectedly saw two familiar figures and wanted to curse. Yoel waved at her from a distance and swirled his wine glass. Beside him stood Jace who was fully suited handsomely.
Sage’s bright face immediately turned sour upon seeing them. Did these two people put a radar on her? Why was she running into them at all times? They were so annoying!
Before she could curse, a graceful figure walked over to Jace with a bright and flirtatious smile. Immediately, Sage recognized her. It was Sienna, whoin she had not seen in a long time.
Ah, it turned out that Jace was at the event to meet his precious ex-girlfriend. She was just too sensitive about him.
