Soon, only Shane and Jackson remained in the living room.
Jackson coughed, “Do you have something to tell me?”
“Haven’t I told you to keep Jacqueline at the hospital?” Shane narrowed his eyes at Jackson.
Shane wanted to put some distance between Natalie and Jacqueline because of the things Jacqueline had done since moving in.
He had instructed Jackson to keep Jacqueline at the hospital till next month, seeing as she needed surgery for her eyes. He would ask Mr. Gunn to pick her up after holding a recovery banquet for her.
However, Jackson didn’t follow his instruction.
Jackson knew he broke his promise to Shane. “I really wanted to keep her there, but I couldn’t.”
“Did something happen?” Shane frowned.
Jackson let out a sigh, and his expression turned bitter. “Jacqueline didn’t want to stay at the hospital. So when I wasn’t paying attention, she went to the Ophthalmology Department to inquire if she’s free to leave the hospital. When she heard that she could, she had me bring her here immediately.”
“And then?” Shane asked as his face turned dark.
Jackson massaged his temples. “I denied her. But she begged me, and I was worried about her being reckless. So that was how she ended up here. I’m sorry, Shane.”
Shane focused his cold gaze on Jackson. “Do you know the problems you have brought to my family by letting her come here?”
“I know. I can tell from Natalie’s attitude earlier.” Jackson smiled bitterly.
Jackson had regretted his action. Because if anything happened between Natalie and Jacqueline again, he would be the cause of it.
But it was too late to regret now. Jacqueline was here already.
“Jackson, do you still love Jacqueline?” Shane asked abruptly, interrupting Jackson’s pity party.
Jackson was baffled by his question. “Why do you ask me this suddenly?”
“Answer me!” Shane analyzed him.
