Jean asked Moore expectantly.
"Of course," Moore replied without a tinge of hesitation. Without even asking her where they were headed to, he directly stood up and looked as if he were ready for it.
When Jean heard Moore's prompt reply, a smile immediately showed up and brightened her face. She instantly removed the blanket and got off the bed. After that, she walked into the bathroom to wash her up and put on some makeup. With everything in place, she went out with Moore.
At first, Moore was glad to go somewhere with Jean. But the initial excitement disappeared when Moore found that Jean stopped outside the ICU.
'Is Jean going inside to visit Henry?
Nothing strange or wrong has happened. Then, why is she suddenly coming here to see Henry?
She even asked me to keep her company. Why?' Moore was at a loss of words.
As he walked side by side with Jean, he felt her tension build up.
"Jean..." he called catching her attention. But not knowing what to say, he just looked down. Before he could say anything, Jean replied back," Moore..." Jean paused for a while. Then she lookedMoore straight into his eyes and added in a low voice," You will have to keep me company whatever happens. I won't allow you to take even half a step away from me."
Hearing these words, Moore was stunned. Taking great pity on this woman in front of him, he hurriedly replied with a firm nod," Okay, I will. I promise."
Jean didn't feel at ease until she heard Moore's reply. Now she relaxed as her tension was relieved. At last, she reached out her hand to the door and pushed it open.
Joy and Shirley were toweling Henry. Hearing the sound, the two of them looked up. As soon as they saw Jean, both of their faces contorted into shock and irritation.
"You......" Joy stammered. She figured that Jean would still be alive, but she had never expected her to muster up the courage and stand in front of her so soon. With a burst of panic in her mind, Joy still pretended to be calm and said," Why are you here?"
"Not for you. I am here to visit my father." At the sight of this evil woman, the time when she grabbed her neck came back to her mind.
When Joy squeezed her neck with her hands, Jean felt as if her muscle was pierced. On top of that, Joy's sharp fingernails nearly created holes on Jean's neck.
What had happened to her earlier was the most physically draining incident of her life. She unknowingly turned her eyes wide open and tried hard to suppress her fear.
"Father?" Shirley exclaimed after she calmed herself down on seeing Jean," Jean, you have clearly said that your relationship with the Wen family has been severed. Now, are you so shameless to even call him father again?"
"Whatever I have said, our father-daughter relationship can't be changed. Besides, if he will recognize and admit me as his daughter or not is his choice, not yours! So please, Shirley, keep your nose away from my business. You don't have any say in it,"
Jean coldly retorted while she bravely stared at Shirley straight into her eyes.
"You......" Upon hearing her refutation, Shirley regretted having saved Jean from her mother's murderous hands. She thought that she shouldn't have stopped her mother from squeezing Jean to death.
"What the hell do you want to say?" Jean walked towards the bed. She seemed to have understood something when she stared at Henry, who was lying still on the bed.
'Am I the only one who knows that Henry has come to his sense?
If Joy had known this, she wouldn't have had the courage to barge into my ward and throttle me, ' thought Jean with an intense look.
Before coming here, Jean had assumed that Joy would want to kill her again because she would have been agitated by the fact that Henry had gotten back to his sense from his coma.
But at that moment, Jean understood that no one other than her knew about it. Even now, Jean found it hard to believe that Joy had tried to kill her just because she had been annoyed by her words.
'Joy, how badly do you wish for my death?' Jean gave out a cold chuckle.
'You have shown me nothing but ruthlessness. I won't be so kind to you anyone, ' thought Jean firmly.
"Jean, you are not welcome here. Just get out of here," Joy denounced her with great fury, putting on a grumpy face.
