Life at The Top novel Chapter 2025

When Jasper finally woke up, the first thing he smelled was the sharp scent of disinfectant. Then, he opened his eyes to see a white ceiling. He was about to ask where he was, only to feel his throat burn. It felt like it was about to tear and burn from how dry it was.

“Water…” He whispered softly. Wendy heard movement and immediately walked over.

She grabbed Jasper’s hand tightly, her eyes filled with worry.

“How are you feeling, Jasp? What do you need?”

“Water…”

Wendy quickly grabbed the warm water she had prepared beforehand.

Jasper felt much better after taking a sip, and he slowly regained consciousness. His chest clenched slightly when he saw Wendy’s worried expression and the reddened corners of her eyes.

“What happened? Did you cry?”

The emotions Wendy had tried hard to suppress immediately resurfaced when she heard Jasper’s question.

Tears started to well in her eyes which shocked Jasper.

“What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?”

Wendy shook her head and wiped her tears. “You didn’t. It’s just that you scared all of us. You fainted in front of all of us after the financial war with Soros two days ago.”

“The little prince and Lord Alvarado were terrified when they brought you to the hospital. They were both frantic, they almost tripped and fell over while running.”

Jasper had a vague idea of what happened after Wendy told him what had happened. He remembered feeling unwell that day, but he did not say anything because of how important the moment was. He was thankful that he only fainted after everything was over, or there was no telling what would happen.

Jasper felt a smile tug at the corner of his lips when he thought about how, despite their status and identity, the little prince and Lord Alvarado had almost tripped and fallen in panic.

Jasper looked around and all he saw was white.

This was save for two eye-catching plants in the corner of the room. Those plants did not look like they belonged in the hospital.

“That’s from Henry. He said that the room’s too white and blinding, and that you wouldn’t like it when you woke up. So, he got you two little pots.”

“Had the little prince and Lord Alvarado not stopped him, I think he would have repainted the room as well.” Wendy explained, not knowing if she should laugh or cry at the ridiculousness of it all.

“Oh, right. Old master Law came as well. He flew directly from Harbor City. A few higher-ups are here too, they came to the hospital to visit you. You made a huge contribution to the country, so when you suddenly fainted, everyone was worried about your situation.”

Suddenly, Wendy smacked her head, “Oh! I was too happy that you woke up and forgot to tell them you’re awake. I’ll go tell those waiting outside.”

Then she left.

Looking at a dazed Wendy, Jasper smiled exasperatedly whilst feeling very blessed.

There were times when she acted muddle-minded.
