After Johns and Rylen carried the gift boxes, they walked nervously in front of Jane to lead the way.
When they knocked on the door, Louis' impatient voice came from inside the hospital room, "Get lost."
Rylen and Johns looked at each other in confusion upon hearing this, unsure of what to do next.
Jane smiled and approached, opening the door directly.
Louis was resting with his eyes closed when he heard movement and was about to curse someone out when his gaze suddenly froze upon seeing who had just entered.
Jane appeared professional as she held her gift boxes and walked straight to the table beside Louis before placing it down.
"Mr. Caesar, you have quite a temper," she said with a slight smirk.
The man's expression grew even darker after seeing that Jane had returned all of his morning gifts.
He pursed his lips before muttering an explanation, "Jane, I didn't know it was you."
Jane shrugged indifferently as she smiled at the pale-faced man lying on the bed.
"Mr. Caesar, I came here today because there is something I want to discuss with you."
After witnessing this scene from afar, Rylen and Johns exchanged glances before quickly putting down their gift boxes and leaving the room while thoughtfully closing the door behind them.
Once alone, Louis tried getting up but felt dizzy which made him sway slightly. Jane's eyes flickered with a hint of curiosity as she wondered why he seemed so weak but chose to ignore it for now.
She coldly turned around and sat on the sofa while silently watching the man lying on the bed in front of her.
Finally, Louis broke the silence in the room by speaking first, "Jane..."
"Mr. Caesar, five years ago we were already strangers. I hope you understand that," Jane stated firmly while looking straight into his dark eyes filled with indifference. She came here today to talk to Louis properly, to make sure he would stop harassing her. She wanted to live peacefully again with Vivian.
Louis furrowed his eyebrows, his hand by his side tightening as he spoke in a shaken voice, "It's impossible. I won't let you leave me again."
"Nothing forcibly done is going to be agreeable," Jane replied calmly.
Jane's face showed no expression, but deep down she felt a bit dazed about the time when they were together during her memory loss.
Those days used to be what she fantasized about, but now she no longer needed that kind of life.
Louis' blue eyes grew darker as he forced himself up and walked towards the couch.
"How do you know if it's agreeable if you don't give me a second chance?"
Jane furrowed her brows in surprise at Louis' unexpected words. She sarcastically smiled and stood up indifferently, saying, "I don't want to, 'cause I don't like you anymore."
After speaking these words, she turned around and headed straight for the door of the hospital room.
She had only taken two steps when Louis grabbed her wrist tightly with his big hand. He lightly opened his lips and said, "Jane, don't go."
"Everything between us is already in the past."
After Jane finished speaking these words, she broke free from Louis' grip on her wrist before leaving directly out of the hospital room.
As soon as she took two steps outside of the room, there was a loud noise behind her. When she turned back around again after hearing it, the man who had been standing behind her was now lying on the ground with his eyes closed tightly shut.
Upon seeing this scene, Jane's pupils shrank suddenly; there was some panic in those eyes as well.
"Louis! What happened to you?"
But all that answered back was silence. Louis lay motionless on ground without any movement whatsoever.
Immediately Jane rushed over to Louis while shouting loudly towards the direction where people could hear her.
"Anybody outside? Come in quickly!"
Soon enough Johns and Rylen came rushing into view, followed by doctors who began examining Louis' body. After checking him over thoroughly, one doctor removed his stethoscope from his ears.
"The patient has an infected wound which combined with an already weak body condition plus being under great emotional stress caused him to fall into a coma."
After finishing speaking these words, he frowned slightly at Jane, "As his family member, you should pay more attention to his conditions. Since he is seriously injured, he must rest quietly."
