Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 829

Stunned, Jude wiped the sweat from his brow that had beaded up from rushing.

Yesterday, Seth had made a last-minute decision to come to Harborview City, but Jude had an important business meeting and couldn't join him.

At the time, Jude had asked Seth if he should cancel the meeting and go to Harborview City with him.

Seth had asked him, "Do you really enjoy being a third wheel that much?"

Jude was speechless and dropped the idea.

But the next afternoon, Seth had called, telling him to come to Harborview City to pick him up.

His tone at the time had been utterly dejected.

Worried, Jude had immediately ditched his extremely important business partner and rushed to the airport to fly to Harborview City to be with him.

Now, he had just landed—he hadn't even gotten off the plane yet—and was being told he wasn't needed.

He was even told to turn right around at the airport and go home.

How could he be more fickle than a woman?

Jude tried to calm himself down. "He's a patient, he's the boss, he's my friend. Just let it go, let it go. It's fine, it's fine."

So, as soon as he got off the plane, he bypassed the arrivals hall, went straight to departures, and bought a ticket for the next flight back to Rivercrest City...

His secretary messaged him on WhatsApp, saying Nina was furious and threatening to cancel their partnership.

Now, Jude had an even bigger headache.

He would have to go appease Nina, which would undoubtedly involve her making unwanted advances.

…

Noreen ended up talking with Castle for a while, and it was almost midnight when they finished.

She hurried back to Seth's room and found that he really hadn't slept.

He even let out a long sigh of relief when he saw her return.

"Didn't I tell you to get some rest?" Noreen checked his medical chart.

No IV drip was scheduled for the night.

"I told you I'd wait for you." He was just as stubborn.

Seeing as he was the injured party, Noreen didn't argue. "Well, you can sleep now, right?"

This time, Seth obediently lay down.
