"Yesterday." Jean recoiled back, making Terence pity her. She buried her face in her knees. "Felix is friends with Ms. Chen from Star Films. I wanted to sell the film and television copyright of my book, so I contacted him to help set up a meeting with Ms. Chen. It was the first time we met after I came back.
Since I signed the contract with Ms. Chen in the morning, I invited Felix to dinner to thank him. As soon as we arrived, he began to take advantage of me. I tried to beg him, but he didn't stop. As for the rest..." Jean gave him a bitter smile and said nothing more.
"Then were you aware that he drugged you?" Terence asked with a frown.
"I was drugged?" Jean widened her eyes and pretended to be surprised. "I don't know. He drugged me?"
"Yes." Terence gave her a concerned look and explained, "The doctor said that it was the reason why you felt weaker. If I hadn't gone to you, then you would've been in more danger."
"Terence..." Jean tightly hugged him. "Thank you. If it weren't for you, then I don't know what would've happened to me yesterday."
Jean tightened her arms around him, unwilling to let go.
Although he wanted to push her away, Terence decided not to. It was a traumatic experience for her and she might just want some comfort.
Jean smiled to herself when she saw that he wasn't pushing her away.
Men loved to play the role of a hero and save the beautiful damsel in distress. She felt like everything was moving the way she wanted it to.
"Terence..." After a long time, Jean finally let go of him. "Can you stay here with me tonight? I... I'm so scared."
Jean's face turned white. She looked so pitiful and in need of sympathy.
Terence was not surprised at her question. Just as he was about to reply, a knock came at the door.
They both turned their heads to find Nelson entering the room. Terence frowned at his friend and asked, "I thought you had left. Why are you here again?"
"I heard that Miss Gu is in hospital, so I came here to visit her." Nelson grinned, not missing the resentment in Jean's eyes. She silently accused him for interrupting their conversation.
"Don't worry. I asked my driver to send the medicine to my grandpa," Nelson said to Terence with a smile.
Terence nodded, but Jean didn't want to let go of this chance. She firmly held Terence's hand and asked, "Can you please stay?"
Terence opened his mouth to answer, but his friend interrupted once again. "I'm sorry, but I just heard your conversation at the door. Do you want Terence to stay with you? "
"Yes," Jean answered, not knowing what Nelson was doing.
"Nurse, please come in." Nelson looked at the door and a middle-aged woman entered the room. She smiled and gently said, "Miss Gu, I'll be staying with you tonight, just tell me what you need."
"What?" Jean gritted her teeth with hatred, but she couldn't do anything. She forced a confused smile on her face.
