Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 583

"Okay, calm down now," said Zed once he realized that Jean was getting angry. Her pitch started going higher as she was speaking. He tried to console and stop her but she seemed not to care. "Let's stop here and talk about something else. Should we buy some gifts before we arrive at the hospital?" suggested Zed.

Hearing Zed's words, a shift in her thought took place. She felt much more calm. Slowly, the resentment on her face faded away.

After a while, she calmed down and returned to the sane mental state. Looking around, Jean suddenly came to realize that the words she uttered had hurt Moore. Now he wasn't looking at her and remained silent. She waited for him to catch her eyes and gave him an apologetic look and said, "Moore, I'm so sorry. I was too angry just now. I apologize for saying those stupid words to hurt you."

"I've told you, I'm fine," replied Moore in a peaceful tone. With a bitter smile on his face, he looked at Jean and added, "He can't hurt me anymore."

"Sure, I'm glad to hear that. And now that it's over, we all have to be happy," said Jean as she tried to console Moore a little bit.

Moore looked at Jean with a nod. Although there was still a trace of anger on his face, his facial expression right now had visibly softened.

After getting out of the car, the three of them bought two fruit baskets from a shop that was located near the hospital. With them, they headed straight to the ward.

As they walked past the reception desk, Avery hurried up from a distance to meet them. At the sight of the fruit baskets in their hands, she said sheepishly, "I'm so glad that you come here. But you really didn't need to buy these."

"We are all friends, and these fruits are just a token of our care for Albert. How is he now?" asked Jean with concern.

"Thank god he is out of the woods. And now he is awake. At the moment, he is just resting in the ward," replied Avery as she sighed heavily. And soon, there appeared a grave look on her face as if she was contemplating about a serious matter.

"What's the matter? Why do you look so worried now? He is no longer in risk, right?" asked Jean hastily with confusion written all over her face.

"He has regained his consciousness. However, it will take at least ten to fifteen days for him to recover and leave the hospital," replied a downhearted Avery as she looked at Jean.

"Well, I don't think there is anything to worry about. Besides, you can stay in H City for a few more days. Good for you, isn't it? It is actually a good news! Why do you look glum?" asked Jean confusedly.

"No, it is about Adolf," replied Avery with a sigh. She added, "He keeps blaming himself for Albert's accident. And he kicked himself really hard when he found that Albert almost died. He feels that it is his responsibility to take good care of Albert. And he failed to do it, so he is now consumed with remorse. Nothing cheers him up, not even Albert's recovery news."

"What? How could Albert need to be cared for when he's an adult already?" uttered Jean with traces of surprise. And she added, "But I have a strong feeling that Adolf's remorse must have something to do with what had happened last night. Anyway, let's stop thinking too much about it and go to see Albert first. We'll find it out later."

As Jean was speaking, she walked close to Avery and patted her on her shoulder, trying to console her a little bit.

"Alright,"

replied Avery while she nodded her head. She then showed the three of them the way to the ward.

The moment when Avery turned and walked ahead, Zed and Moore, who had been silent earlier, looked at each other with suspicion. And they frowned uneasily as if they were both thinking of something serious.

After walking for a while, they had arrived outside Albert's ward. With the door pushed open, they happened to see that Adolf was feeding Albert some porridge.

At the sight of their coming in, Adolf hurriedly put the porridge down on the table and said, "What are you doing here? Please have a seat." He smiled at Zed as he was speaking.

"We have come to see how Albert is doing. Is he better now?" asked Zed in a polite tone.

"Yes, and he can eat now. He was having some rice porridge just now. Thank you for coming to see him," replied Adolf sounding extremely grateful.

"You seem to be recovering well," said Jean as she walked close and looked at Albert. With a vague smile on her face, she added, "Well, I found it incredibly hard to believe that you were in danger when Avery told me about it. I mean, you were in such high spirits yesterday. Man proposes but God disposes, doesn't it? Albert, do you remember how much alcohol did you drink to bring you here? I mean, look at you, you look strong on the outside! Were you just drowning your sorrows in wine?"

On the other hand, Albert's face hardened the moment he watched Avery bring these people inside.

After hearing what Jean had just said, he presented an angry expression and said, "You're not welcome here. Just get out of here right now!"
