Finnley left after letting out the harsh words.
When Jensen returned, he only saw Hattie alone in the ward. He placed the cut fruit plate on the bedside table, looking at her tenderly, "If you don't want to tell me, I won't force you, but if he threatens you, I hope you can tell me in time so that I can protect you."
"I'm fine." Hattie smiled, "Let's eat fruit."
"I bumped into the doctor when I went to wash the fruit, and he said you can be discharged tomorrow." Jensen helped Hattie sit up and put a pillow behind her back to make her sit more comfortably.
"Is that so? I'll be leaving here tomorrow…" Hattie's expression, however, didn't look like she was excited.
Tomorrow…she would be leaving Greyson either, right?
She hadn't seen him for so many days. Was he doing well? Were he…and Miss Porter enjoying a sweet time as a couple?
Jensen knew what she was thinking by the look on her face. He took her hand in his and said, "Hattie, stop thinking about it, okay?"
Hattie snapped out of her trance and smiled at him, "Well, I don't think about it, not anymore."
Yes, it was time for her to cut ties with Greyson.
In a physical condition like hers, she would only be a burden to anyone she followed.
Greyson couldn't wait for her to die, and that was what she also wanted to see happen, wasn't it?
She wouldn't not burden Jensen either, even though she was going to leave here with Jensen, but after leaving here, she would also leave Jensen and then spend her last days alone.
But Jensen didn't know what she was thinking yet, he just thought she really wanted to leave with him for Greyson.
Although he was a bit dejected, he was grateful that she was willing to leave with him.
Jensen smiled tenderly, and he had already begun to plan in his mind for their lives after they left.
A life that belonged only to him and her.
The life he had dreamed of countless times.
It was finally coming true.
…
Greyson looked at the documents in front of him with some annoyance.
The data and reports as well as proposals only gave him headaches.
He couldn't help but keep thinking about Hattie.
The woman who was ruthless and good at acting.
Their previous happiness was all a sham.
It was just wishful thinking on his part.
She provoked him first, but in the end, he was the only one trapped in the feelings that couldn't get out.
What ridiculous he was! He was the rightful heir to the Morgan family, but he was being played by a woman.
He recalled the happy and sweet times they had long, long time ago.
She always liked to cling to him and had a lot to talk to him, never feeling inferior because of her own status and never thinking anything else about him because of his status.
He never found her annoying, only that she was novel to him.
