Chapter 320
Jonathan cast a brief glance at him and remarked, “Never mind, I’m still accustomed to the comfort of the familiar
Charlie responded with a meaningful smile, neither confirming nor denying Jonathan’s statement.
Carson approached them and extended an invitation for Jonathan and Charlie to join a poker game. Jonathan declined, saying, “You guys go ahead and play. I’ll just sit for a while and then take off.”
Charlie chuckled, “What, we can’t keep you here without Estelle?”
Jonathan was unimpressed, “You think I come here every day to see you guys?”
Everyone laughed and sighed, and Charlie pretended to be heartbroken, “Twenty years of friendship, and this is how you treat me?”
Jonathan sneered, “Your acting, you could go scam people!”
Charlie laughed, “I haven’t scammed anyone, don’t frame me here!”
After a few lighthearted moments, Charlie’s tone turned serious once more as he inquired, “When will Estelle be back?”
“In about two or three days, I suppose,” Jonathan replied, idly toying with the lighter in his hand, his handsome face revealing a subtle tenderness.
A man with a broken leg from a car accident was admitted to the ward, and the woman taking care of him swiftly claimed the caregiver’s bed. Without contention, Estelle slept in a chair throughout the night.
Observing Estelle curled up in the chair, Xavier furrowed his brow. He called a nurse over and requested, “Can we have an extra bed?”
The nurse apologetically responded, “I’m sorry, but we’re currently short on temporary beds due to the recent influx of patients.”
Xavier’s expression darkened. “Then could you at least bring a blanket?”
The young nurse, visibly intimidated by his demeanor, timidly replied, “Certainly, I’ll fetch one right. away.”
When the nurse returned with the blanket, Xavier shifted towards the edge of the bed. “Come on, sleep on the bed.”
Estelle collected the blanket, her countenance composed. “No need.”
She tried to take the blanket and leave, but Xavier held onto it, “The bed is big enough, and you’re as thin as a monkey, you won’t take up much space!”
Estelle had a sudden realization that during their previous time together, she was younger, slimmer, and shorter. Xavier used to affectionately refer to her as his “little monkey.” Just as she was about to say something, the woman in the adjacent bed chuckled and remarked, “You two must be a couple. What’s the fuss about sharing a bed?”
Xavier swiftly turned his head towards the woman, giving her a piercing, angry glare. The woman’s smile instantly faded, replaced by a bewildered expression. She had intended to support Estelle by

speaking up, so why was he glaring at her?
“Really no need.” Estelle said.
Xavier sneered “Playing hard to get with me? It’s not like we haven’t slept together beforet
In the past, when there were missions, the seven of them would sleep wherever they could, whether in the mountains or in the woods. If it snowed, they would huddle together for warmth, and no one ever treated Estelle like a woman.
The woman beside them exchanged glances with her man, snorted softly.
Estelle replied calmly, “It’s not that. I’m afraid I might accidentally bump into your leg while sleeping.” “Either sleep on the bed or leave. It’s your choice!” Xavier stubbornly closed his eyes, refusing to engage in further conversation.
