Daniel pulled Janet into his arms, not letting her take care of Caspar any longer.
Yesterday, he was so distressed and angry the moment he saw Janet looking tired in the hotel.
Except for the time they spent in bed, he would never want to see her tired.
'Just so you know, I won't ever let her suffer again!'
The both of them carefully pondered his words.
Janet felt happy hearing those words come out of Daniel's mouth, while Caspar simply felt guilty.
He admitted that he was very glad to see Janet upon waking up. However, he indeed forgot to notice the fact that she was exhausted after taking care of him.
They kept silent in the room. After a couple of minutes, Daniel spoke again, "I'll remember all you have done for Janet. If you need any help in the future, just let me know. I'll try my best to help you in return."
Caspar felt even more uncomfortable with what Daniel said. He realized that Daniel said those as Janet's husband.
'He doesn't deserve to be Janet's husband!'
Leaning back against the headboard, Caspar sneered, stared at Daniel, and said, "Mr. Si, I really want you to do me a favor!"
With an expressionless face, Daniel said, "Go ahead!"
He took a defiant glance at him and spoke, "I want you to stay away from Janet from now on because I only want her!"
Daniel immediately gave him a long, cold stare and Janet, who stayed by Daniel's side, felt so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say at this moment.
Daniel took a step forward.
When she remembered that Caspar and Daniel had fought with each other last time, Janet immediately grabbed Daniel's arm, trying to stop him from starting a fight.
When Daniel looked at the nervous expression on Janet's face, he smiled and comforted her, "It will be all right."
He also patted her on the hand.
After she heard him, Janet felt relieved. She was worried about Caspar and his injury. If the two men fought with each other, Daniel would definitely have the upper hand.
Daniel took a quick look at Croft who stood by and said, "Mr. Croft, excuse us. Mr. Caspar and I have something personal to deal with."
Croft understood what he meant, so he nodded and said, "Janet, I will stay outside to smoke a cigarette. When you're about to leave, call me."
"Okay, " replied Janet. She began to ponder what matter Daniel and Caspar had to deal with.
After Croft left the room, Daniel stood in front of Caspar's bed with his hands in his pockets. He looked down at Caspar who was lying in bed.
Caspar was the only child of the wealthy Qiao family. When he grew up, he had become a respected leader and general manager of his company. Except for Daniel, no one dared to look at him this way.
With a content gleam in his eyes, Daniel flatly asked, "Do you know why Janet and I got back together?"
Caspar, of course, knew the reason. He knew better than anyone that Janet loved Daniel.
He also believed that they would make up sooner or later, so he kept quiet.
Standing behind Daniel, Janet felt confused and looked at his back, wondering what he was going to say.
After Daniel put his hands out of his pockets and adjusted his tie, he spoke, "Because I knelt down in front of her and begged her to reconcile with me."
...
Janet was stunned by his words and wondered what he meant because he didn't do that sort of thing at all.
Caspar doubted whether this arrogant man really knelt down in front of a woman.
Daniel continued, "I knelt down in bed to please her!" These words astonished both Janet and Caspar.
Alas! He thought he had done what he could to satisfy Janet.
Janet was confused by his words and had to spend a couple of minutes thinking it over, but Caspar, as a man, immediately understood what Daniel meant.
He was so furious that he started to cough violently.
When she finally realized what he meant, Janet blushed, but when she saw Caspar cough violently, she pinched Daniel and then went to get some water for Caspar.
In the ward
After Janet tried her best to calm herself down, she turned around with embarrassment and said, "Caspar, I'm sorry..."
Caspar had already calmed down and didn't look angry any longer. But when he heard her apologize to him, he got annoyed and said, "You don't have to help him say sorry to me."
"He... is that sort of man... You don't have to think too much about what he said... I... He-"
"Janet Shao!" Caspar interrupted her as she stuttered.
"Yes, yes, okay. I'm here." Janet took a few steps forward and stood beside his bed.
Caspar tried his best to calm himself down and hold back the pain in his heart. He then said, "Janet, you don't have to defend him in front of me!"
When she heard him, Janet felt embarrassed once more. She unconsciously touched her earlobe and wondered whether it was easy to see through her. She then spoke, "Caspar, you go rest. I'll stay here to keep you company."
Caspar didn't get angry anymore after hearing those words from Janet. He looked at her for a couple of minutes and gently spoke, "I'm scared."
Confused, she looked at the pained expression in his eyes.
"I'm scared that you won't be here again when I wake up."
Before he met Janet, Caspar always lived in inconspicuous places to keep his identity hidden.
Before he met Janet for the first time, Hobson had been tailing him and had hired people to mess up his life.
At that time, he wasn't scared, but he got fed up, so he decided to stay hidden.
He asked his bodyguard to find an obscure place for him. However, he didn't expect that he would meet Janet after living there for only a couple of days.
He cared about Janet very much.
In the beginning, he felt sorry for her.
If she had been a child from a poor family and was used to hardships and poverty, he wouldn't have been worried about her back then.
