Ms. Tiana’s wise gaze seemed to have seen through something when she looked at Jasper but she did not say anything.
Instead, she nodded and smiled gently as patted Jasper’s hand. “If you’re busy, Jasper, then go get to work first. I’ll be fine here.”
“And do what you want to do. I’ve lived quite a long life and I know what’s real and what’s just an act.”
Jasper was stunned for a moment before he nodded and responded, “Then rest well, Ms. Tiana.”
Jasper walked out of the hospital room and spoke to Julian calmly, “Jul.”
“Go run after Jeff and get the money back. Then tell him to run as far as he can. Warn him not to come and disturb Ms. Tiana again. I’ll tell the hospital too not to allow Jeff to visit”
“Alright!”
Julian immediately tumed to carry out the instruction. Jasper shook his head as he stared at Julian’s back.
Jeff was too naive.
Jasper had initially planned to pretend in front of Ms. Tiana so that she would move on from Jeff and recover properly from treatment.
However, Ms. Tiana had lived for decades and she could see through his intentions.
Her heart had gone completely cold and that was why she cooperated with his play.
Jasper was reassured by this.
He had nothing to worry about as long as Ms. Tiana was not affected.
People like Jeff can keep dreaming if he thought he could take Jasper’s money and rely on Jasper to get a job!
Half an hour later, Julian returned to Jasper’s side casually.
“I got it back, Jasper.”
