The doctor took off his mask and said, “It’s not too bad, she’s fine. However, the patient lost a lot of blood, she’s pretty weak now. If you’d like to visit her, please limit it to ten minutes.”
“And, the patient can’t be disturbed, please don’t excite or agitate her.”
Jasper nodded his head and said, “I understand, thanks, doc…”
Although the doctor who had been busy rescuing her in the ward did not know what happened on the outside, he shot a glance after he came out from the room. He saw the way the arrogant and bossy Martin and his men, nodding and bowing modestly at Jasper, looking like a pug.
Martin’s arrogant behavior contrasts with the mysterious aura and power of Jasper’s. The doctor spoke politely spontaneously.
“It’s alright. That’s my responsibility, will you excuse me, I have some paperwork to do. If you’re paying a visit, make it fast.”
After the doctor left, the nurses came out one after another from the room. Jasper then entered the room. The concentrated smell of the sanitizer in the ward was slightly piercing.
Jasper stepped over to the side of the ward bed, he saw Penelope was staring weakly at him.
“I am sorry…”
Jasper had no idea why the first word that came out of his mouth was those two words after seeing Penelope.
Penelope’s eyes reddened at once, and spoke softly, “I should be the one to apologize… Martin, are they still here?”
“They’re gone.”
Jasper sat down.
“The next thing you should be doing is to recover. Don’t think about these matters, they won’t be coming for you anymore.”
Penelope choked and said, “Never had I thought that you’re the one to help me again.”
“The doctor said you should keep calm.”
“These are just a piece of cake.”
