"Don't come near, or I'll make sure you can't even set foot in J City, let alone stay in a hospital." Jonathan's tone was indifferent, "By now, allowing you to stay in J City is already more courtesy than you deserve. You should understand that."
"I do, I do," Bennett quickly replied, "I'm well aware of my own actions, I'm grateful for your leniency, truly."
"If you understand, then keep your distance from Ella. Stop bothering her."
"Mr. Lamont," Bennett said urgently, "It was I who arranged for Estelle to marry into the Lamont family. Now that you two are getting along so well, I'd like to think I did one good thing. Please, for that, help me out one more time."
Jonathan frowned and spoke coldly, "Why does Ella have a father like you!"
Bennett was visibly ashamed, "I failed as a father, I let Estelle down. I hope there's still a chance for me to make it up to her—"
"Don't even think about it," Jonathan sneered, "She doesn't need it."
"Mr. Lamont, please, save my wife," Bennett's voice was choked with tears, "I have nothing left to hope for, just let my wife live, that's all I ask. Even if she's made mistakes, she deserves a chance at forgiveness."
Jonathan raised his hand to massage his temples and said gravely, "The hospital bills for Simone, I'll have it taken care of, until she's discharged."
Bennett was taken aback, then overjoyed, "Thank you, thank you so much!"
Jonathan hung up the phone without another word.
The doorbell rang, and Jonathan went to answer it.
Emily stood at the doorway, holding an insulated container, and smiled, "Is Estelle still in bed?"
"Yep, it's Saturday, I let her sleep in," Jonathan replied with a faint smile.
"I made some breakfast this morning. It's enough for two," Emily handed the container to Jonathan.
