Chapter 130 Here Is Ten Million
Oh, my goodness! What were you doing, Rayna? Have you lost your mind?
Rayna nearly lost her mind when she realized what she was about to do. She then leaped to her feet and bolted out of the ward as quickly as her legs could carry.
The air-conditioning in the corridor was on full blast, so the cold air helped Rayna cool off a little and regain her composure.
Apart from a few bodyguards at the entrance, the entire inpatient department was empty at the time. Rayna was about to go and wash her face in the restroom when she heard a faint conversation behind a corner.
Out of curiosity, Rayna peeked around the corner and saw Jasmine and Theodore standing next to a water dispenser. Their interaction looked rather awkward as there was quite a bit of distance between them.
Although Rayna could only see Theodore from where she stood, she could almost picture the conflicted look on Jasmine’s face. Huh… Jasmine and Theodore know each other?
The two were clearly distracted as neither of them noticed Rayna’s head sticking out of the corner.
Theodore seemed really unapproachable due to the gloomy aura he exuded. The look on his face was as cold and harsh as it was four years ago.
As though the words were stuck in her throat, Jasmine stared cautiously at Theodore in silence for quite a while before saying, “I didn’t know you two were friends.”
“It’s normal for you to not know that, Ms. Sanders. After all, Curtis never told you, and I don’t know you either.” Theodore’s tone was calm, yet cold as ice.
Jasmine went pale with shock when she heard that. Daily New chapters upload Only on Alaniniz(dot)com Those words hit her so hard that she accidentally crushed the paper cup in her hand and scalded herself with the hot water.
As though he didn’t see that, Theodore simply turned around and began walking away.
After taking a few seconds to snap out of her daze, Jasmine ran up to him and grabbed his arm. “T-Theodore, c-could you say that again?” she asked in a trembling voice.
I can’t believe it! He said he didn’t know me!
She then took a few deep breaths to calm herself down before continuing, “Please drop that attitude of yours so we can have a proper conversation—”
“I don’t want to be acquainted with you, Ms. Sanders!” Theodore cut her off mid-sentence and brushed her arm off impatiently, exerting much force in the process.
As Jasmine was wearing high heels, she lost her balance and fell backward. Theodore felt his heart ache a little when he heard her groaning in pain, but he walked off without looking back anyway.
The icy-cold look on his face was so intimidating that it sent shivers down Rayna’s spine when he bumped into her at the corner.
“I-I-I was just going to wash my face at the restroom. I didn’t know you two were having a conversation here…” she stammered nervously.
The whole conversation happened so quickly that she didn’t even have time to leave the scene.
Rayna wanted to explain that she didn’t intend to listen in on their conversation, but Theodore wouldn’t even give her a chance to. He simply ignored her and strode right past her, sending yet another shiver down her spine.
Noticing that Jasmine was still sitting on the floor, Rayna quickly ran over and helped her up. “Are you okay?”
“I’m okay,” Jasmine replied with a smile as she dusted herself off, her movements as graceful as a swan. It was as though nothing had happened earlier.
