"Cough, cough... Miss, did you say that you’re loving one thing on account of another?"
Jarvis looked at Kathleen in surprise as he did not expect Kathleen to say this so lightly.
When Kathleen saw Jarvis's astonished expression, she smiled and said, "Master Yant, you are also a vigilant martial arts expert. Didn't you hear what I said when I already said it so clearly?"
Jarvis hurriedly said, "No, no, it's just that I did not expect you to say these words, miss. I was just a little surprised...”
Kathleen smiled and said seriously, "Master Yant, you don’t need to be so surprised. I’m not the only one who likes Mr. Wade. Did you notice how Miss Long was looking at Mr. Wade with a sorrowful expression in her eyes? The amount of sorrow that a woman has in her eyes when she looks at a man is an expression of how much she loves him."
Jarvis nodded and smiled as he said, "You’re right..."
Kathleen could not help but sigh as she said, "Oh, Mr. Wade has only been in Hong Kong for just two days. I'm not surprised that Miss Long could fall for Mr.
Wade in two days, but I really did not expect that she could make Mr. Wade feel distressed for her in just two days."
Jarvis asked in surprise, "Why didn't I feel that Mr. Wade felt distressed for Miss Long?"
Kathleen smiled and said, "That's probably because you did not observe things carefully enough."
Jarvis laughed in a self-deprecating manner and then asked Kathleen, "Miss, since you also like Mr. Wade, Miss Long would be your rival, then. Why did you still take the initiative to befriend her?"
Kathleen smiled and said, "She would be my rival in love if Mr. Wade was not married yet. However, the problem is that Mr. Wade is already married, so she is my comrade-in-arms, and I consider her my comrade and sister."
Having said that, Kathleen then said, "There is a phrase among men that states that brothers in hardship are in the same situation. Miss Long could be considered my sister in hardship that is in the same situation as me, then."
Having said this, Kathleen could not help but mutter softly, "I saw that Mr. Wade seemed quite helpless when he was leaving. If it’s possible, we should help Mr. Wade and Miss Long resolve their differences first."
Jarvis was even more puzzled. "Miss, what game are you playing...?"
Kathleen said seriously, "I'm not playing any games. I really want to share Mr. Wade's worries, and I do not have any other intentions at all. I simply want to serve Mr. Wade wholeheartedly, and even if I cannot get him in the end, I would also be able to repay his kindness, at the very least."
Meanwhile, Charlie and Janus were sitting in the car driven by Porter as they headed to Christ Hospital.
Janus became more and more anxious along the way, and cold sweat kept flooding his forehead.
When Charlie saw that he was nervous, he spoke up and said, "Uncle Janus, you don't have to worry too much. She will definitely be able to avoid the danger."
