Chapter 3194
A Gift With Ribbons
Unable to fathom why he was mad all of a sudden, Megan stared at him in bewilderment. It wasn’t until the door was slammed behind him with a loud bang that she snapped out of her daze.
“Did he get up on the wrong side of the bed today?” she muttered under her breath. With her thoughts still all over the place, she scanned the empty ward and sat in silence for a long time. In the end, she decided not to think about it anymore.
After all, many things were impossible to figure out no matter how much one tried to. That was because sometimes, the disparity wasn’t merely the gap of mountains and rivers between two people, but four trillion cells, many memories as well as past events to take into account.
Megan sighed softly. After shoving those annoying thoughts to the back of her mind, she planned to call Donna to fetch her back.
This girl is really something. When Jonas was manhandling me earlier, she had the nerve to slip away unnoticed.
She fished out her phone and was just about to give Donna a call when the door to the ward was opened once again.
But this time, it was Jake.
Megan was stunned to see him, and her mind instantly went blank. Subsequently, all kinds of thoughts flashed across her mind. In her gobsmacked state, she almost dropped her phone.
“W-What are you doing here?”
“Why are you so surprised?” Jake surveyed Megan who was sitting on the bed. Then, he stepped into the room and closed the door behind him with a soft click.
“Yes. I’m indeed a little surprised.” Megan school her features the moment the door was closed, but her heart was pounding in her chest.
She forced herself to meet his eyes, but faced with those amber orbs which seemed to be able to see through one’s soul, she felt like she could no longer maintain the most ideal facade.
However, Megan knew she couldn’t let Jake notice the guilt she was feeling. Gritting her teeth, she feigned calmness and stood up, then gingerly went up to greet him.
