Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 837

Chapter 837 In the Same Boat

Jamie was standing by the table in the operating room with his injured right leg on a chair. The nurse had to cut open his pants to facilitate the treatment. Once the wound was completely exposed, she couldn’t help but gasp in horror. The state of the injury was a mess of gore and blood.

In the end, it took 14 stitches for the wound to be fully sealed up. When Danny walked in, Jamie was sitting on the bed, wiping away his sweat.

Jamie glanced at Danny, unabashed, and casually asked, “How is it over there?” “He’s not out yet. But it shouldn’t be a big deal.” Then, Danny took out a pack of cigarettes from his pockets, pulled two out, and handed one to Jamie.

Jamie stretched out two fingers to take it before Danny lit it for the two of them. Then, the two sat side by side and smoked.

Danny looked at the incandescent lamp on the ceiling and exhaled a puff of smoke. “Don’t you think we’re in the same boat?”

Jamie smiled bitterly and puffed out a mouthful of smoke without refuting Danny’s words.

Danny raised his hand, put the cigarette to his mouth, and took a deep drag. Then, he mumbled to himself with a confused look on his face. “I have no idea how my brother managed to woo my sister-in-law back then. Why is it so difficult to love someone?”

“Hey, you two. Yeah, you!” A nurse poked her head through the door and said, “Don’t you know that smoking isn’t allowed in the hospital? Put it out!”

This made the two men smile at each other before obediently throwing the cigarettes away into the trash can.

Once Jamie was dressed, he stood up and placed his hand on Danny’s shoulder. “I have a favor to ask.”

“As the acting CEO of Dragonweiss, what favor can I do for you?” Danny was in disbelief. After he thought it over for a moment, he asked thoughtfully, “Is it about Narissa again? Do you still not want to reveal yourself?”

Jamie nodded. “You know me so well!”

“Stop it right there.” Danny took a step back. “I’m not like you. I’ve confessed and been rejected. In my opinion, you should just tell her that you’re interested in her. When will you make a move if you keep sneaking around like this?”

“She has already agreed to Jayden’s proposal. Anything I say now would just make things worse. So I might as well just shut up. Saving them from this group of thugs will be my wedding gift to him,” Jamie said.

This surprised Danny as he wrapped his arm around Jamie, patting his shoulders reassuringly. “It’s fine. People like us aren’t meant for the big stage. So as long as they’re happy, we’d have no regrets.”

…

When Jayden woke up the next day, he was somewhat dazed. It was also a pity that the first person he saw when he opened his eyes was Danny, standing at the end of the bed.

“Why are you here?” Jayden asked with a wary look in his eyes.

“I brought you to the hospital.” Then, Danny jumped straight into the topic. “Also, the feud between you and those people has been settled by SK Group and Smith Co. They won’t trouble you anymore if you don’t step on each other’s tails.

“Why did they help me?” Jayden was still vigilant.

“There’s no reason behind it. If you really need one, then it’s because I appreciate an honest reporter. Just like me, we both hope the world will be a better place,” Danny said formally.

Nonetheless, Jayden didn’t want to play around as he remarked acidly, “I’m afraid we’re very different, Mr. Griffith. I’m afraid I will not be able to live in the law’s loopholes.”

Danny expected this would be how Jayden would react and shrugged indifferently. “Then, I have nothing left to say.”

After Danny had said his piece, he turned around and walked toward the door.
