Chapter 793 He Had Been Waiting at the Door
In the afternoon.
Jewel and Gianna took the elevator directly to Gianna’s house for dinner.
They had no idea that Alex was still waiting at her door.
When Alex came to her house from the studio, it was only four o’clock in the afternoon. But now, he looked up at his watch. It was already nine o’clock. He hurriedly stood up. Had he fallen asleep in a daze? Otherwise, how could time pass so quickly? Where did she go? Her phone was turned off and she didn’t go home. Did something happen? Thinking of this, he was so scared by his own thoughts that he broke out in cold sweat. He held his phone and called Gianna. “Hello.” The call was quickly picked up. Alex hurriedly asked, “Gianna, do you know where Jewel went? I came to Jewel’s house when I came out of your place. I haven’t seen her until now. Did something happen?” Gianna asked.
“Are you still at Jewel’s door?” Gianna asked after a long silence.
Alex said, “Is she home but not opening the door for me?” Then he pressed the doorbell again. “Come to my home!” Gianna was speechless. Alex answered and hung up the phone. He did not take the elevator and directly walked to the 59th floor. At this time, Gianna had already opened the door for him.
“You just waited? Why didn’t you make a call?”
Alex said, “I did. Her phone was turned off.” As he spoke, he changed his shoes and walked in. When he saw Jewel sitting at the dining table, his eyes suddenly lit up and the smile on his lips overflowed. He rebuked, “Why are you at Gianna’s home? I waited at your door for several hours.”
Jewel used sign language, “Gianna called me over to eat hotpot.” Alex could no longer see anyone else. As he walked, he looked at her and said, “I was in Gianna’s shop. She said that you were back home and I’d been waiting at your door. How’s your throat?”
Jewel shook her head. “It’s fine.”
“There’s food in the kitchen. What do you want to eat? Go wash it yourself.” Silas said.
Alex looked at Silas and frowned. “Can’t you be more generous when others come to your house to eat?” “I didn’t plan for your share at all.” Silas pressed his lips. “Alright, alright, this is enough for me. Jewel, let me take a look at your throat. Why is it inflamed?” he said as he sat down next to Jewel.
Jewel felt particularly awkward and said perfunctorily, “I’m fine. It’s not a big deal.”
Alex looked worried and turned to look at Gianna. “Gianna, is Jewel alright?” Gianna took a deep breath. Although his mother’s words were really unpleasant to hear, Alex was still alright. At the very least, he was really concerned about Jewel. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have waited at her door until now. “It’s fine. After taking some medicine, I will be fine.”
“Have you taken your medicine?” Jewel: “I’ll go back and decoct it later.” hon hoitan’t darncted it vet? Then wait for me for a while. I’ll help you.”
Jewel frowned, “I can do it myself.” Alex said, “I’ll go with you.” Jewel looked at Gianna. Gianna shrugged with a helpless expression on her face. In less than five minutes, Alex had already put down the chopsticks. He then got up and said, “Let’s go. It’s 9:30 right now. It will take 40 minutes to decoct the medicine. It will be quite late after you finish eating it.” As he spoke, he went to hold Jewel’s hand, but he did not expect that she broke free. “What’s wrong?” He looked at Jewel in surprise. ! Jewel: “It’s nothing. You can go back. I can do it myself.” Alex looked at her in surprise. What happened to her? He looked at Silas and Gianna again. Everyone had a complicated expression. He thought for a moment and said, “Alright, then I’ll come to see you tomorrow.” Jewel: “You don’t have to come here for me. I’m fine.” After she finished speaking, she said goodbye to Gianna and Silas and left.
