“You have to take revenge!”
Wendy’s usually gentle and calm gaze was now laced with never-before-seen hatred and anger.
Jasper was just about to speak when he heard Wendy continue, “You can’t stay here anymore. It’s too dangerous.”
Jasper smiled bitterly. “I was careless. It won’t happen again, I promise… By the way, what time is it now?”
Indeed, Jasper had successfully distracted Wendy and changed the subject. “You’ve been asleep for more than a day already.”
Jasper rubbed his temples. “That’s not too bad… Where’s Jul?”
“He’s been kneeling at the door for more than a day.”
Wendy sighed.
“He said he had to apologize.”
Jasper arched his brow. “That idiot. This has nothing to do with him at all. Call him in.”
Wendy spoke exasperatedly, “You think I haven’t tried to? He just won’t get up.”
“Tell him I’m awake and I asked him to come in,” Jasper spoke calmly and patted Wendy’s hand.
He knew that kneeling was Julian’s idea, but it did not mean Wendy did not have any intention to vent her anger on him. After all, Wendy did not know what had happened then, and considering Julian’s personality, he would surely put the blame on himself when he tried to explain things.
As such, it was absolutely understandable that Wendy was angry at Julian when all she knew was that Jasper had gotten injured.
Wendy nodded and got up to ask Julian to enter.
Even Julian would feel the effects of kneeling for an entire day despite his physique, and he was slightly limping when he walked.
