Chapter 64 Something To Say
Vivian was rendered speechless by my sharp words and quietly sat to the side, clinging to Jude’s hand.
I waited patiently for the lawyers to finish dealing with everything. Carson Group’s legal team was one of the best, and handling this kind of situation was well within their ability.
“Do you want something to drink? Something sweet?” Jude suddenly walked over to me, looking a bit awkward.
He really did think I had hypoglycemia.
Dorian immediately stood up. “No need. I’ll go buy something.”
Jude shot him a glare and took the seat Dorian had just vacated.
He pulled a few candies from his pocket and handed them to me.
He said, “If you have low blood sugar, you should always carry candy. If you feel faint, eat one. These are all your favorite flavors. I’ll get you some imported chocolate next time.”
For a moment, I really did feel dazed again.
Back in college, Jude didn’t have much money, but somehow he always had a few snacks in his pockets.
I was a foodie but also cared about my figure, so I never dared to eat too much.
He would always give me just a little, carefully chosen treats like some expensive chocolate.
Just as I was about to take the candy from his hand, Vivian’s uncomfortable voice cut in. “Jude, I think I’m having an allergic reaction. It’s so itchy…”
She squirmed in discomfort and held out her arm. There were scratch marks all over it, already swollen.
I remembered how Vivian had said she was allergic to dog fur and insisted on sending Toto away. My gaze toward her grew colder.
I had clearly seen her playing with a coworker’s corgi earlier. She would do anything just to make me miserable.
Jude panicked when he saw her arm and quickly shoved the candy into my hand. “Vivian, don’t scratch. It’ll scar. I’ll take you to the hospital.”
As they reached the door, he suddenly remembered that his actual wife was still here.
Jude turned to me. “I’ll be back soon. Wait for me.”
I didn’t respond, just looked in the direction of the interrogation room. Because I knew he wouldn’t come back. He never did.
As Dorian passed by them, he let out a cold snort and handed me a cup of milkshake.
He said, “Your favorite. And some water too. If you’re hungry, I’ll get food later.”
I smiled. I didn’t expect him to remember what kind of milkshake I liked.
Actually, I didn’t really like milkshake. I used to drink it a lot at school because it was cheap.
One dollar a bottle, it was something Jude could afford.
I could feel Jude’s gaze darkening, but I pushed the milkshake aside and picked up the water instead.
I said, “Dorian, I don’t like that milkshake anymore. It makes me sick.”
Jude seemed like he wanted to come over, but Vivian held him back. “Jude, it’s so itchy…”
Jude nodded and left with her.
By the evening, Casey’s matter was finally settled. She had nothing to do with the incident. The other company just didn’t want to pay, so they tried to pin the blame on her.
As soon as Casey came out, she hugged me tightly. “Ada, I just remembered. You had chemo today, right? Why didn’t you call me?”
My throat tightened. I couldn’t even get comforting words out.
Casey had just gone through questioning, and yet she still thought about me.
Dorian gently patted both of us. “Since everything’s fine now, let me treat you to dinner. You must be starving.”
Casey nodded enthusiastically. “I’ll buy some rice snacks tomorrow to ease myself.”

We left the police station happily, chatting in the car about what to cat
Suddenly, I noticed a familiar car in the rearview mirror. I looked closely at the plate. It really was Jude. He actually came
back.
Then, Casey asked, “Ada, how about pizza? Let’s fire up some energy and get rid of the bad luck!”

I nodded with a smile, though my eyes kept flicking to the rearview mirror
Dorian seemed to notice Jude’s car too. No matter how many turns we made, we couldn’t shake him.
The three of us ate pizza for over an hour, and Jude’s car remained parked outside the entire time.
Then, a sudden downpour began without warning.
Jude ran through the rain to the trunk of his car, pulled out an umbrella, and rushed to the entrance of the pizza place.
Casey noticed him too and glanced at me with concern. “Jude. Let’s go.”
