Jayden's heart raced, and his lowered eyes betrayed his guilt.
He couldn't even meet James' gaze because there were no secrets in front of him.
But Jayden, stubborn as ever, tried to negotiate with James with words, as if it would help him regain his dignity.
"Paul is your cousin, so naturally you'll side with him."
"Of course."
James didn't shy away at all, directly admitting it, which caught Jayden off guard.
Just as he was about to reprimand him with "birds of a feather," James impatiently interrupted him.
"Jayden, two choices: either apologize to Paul in person, or leave this hospital."
It was only because of Eva's reputation that James came up with this solution.
Likewise, if it weren't for Eva being Amelia's good friend, James probably wouldn't even bother saying a word to Jayden.
Apologizing to Paul was impossible, leaving the hospital...
Jayden glanced at Stella, who signaled him to choose the former, triggering a subconscious resistance in Jayden.
"Eva has already apologized to Paul on my behalf."
Upon hearing this, James looked down even more on Jayden.
"You dare to let a woman clean up the mess you made? The mistakes you made yourself?"
