Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 1712

Chapter 1712 Because I Like You

“It must be Jessie! Why can she stay with him, but I can’t?” Lisa scoffed, feeling a sense of injustice. “Well…” Bethany was at a loss for words.

Just then, Vincent arrived. He happened to turn a corner and hear Lisa making a scene, so he answered, “Jessie is Julian’s girlfriend, so of course, she has to stay with him.”

Lisa’s eyes instantly filled with jealousy. What? Jessie is Julian’s girlfriend? How cunning! Besides, Vincent is the one to say this, so it must be true. In that case, Jessie will be a part of the Gilmore Family in the future! Now that she has Julian, all of her future resources will be at her disposal!

“It seems Miss Silverstein is quite the charmer if she managed to win Julian’s heart so quickly!” Lisa commented snidely.

Vincent had intended to visit Julian, but since he was asleep, he could only leave. “Bethany, I’ll visit again tomorrow.”

Seeing that he was about to leave, Lisa immediately seized the opportunity and said, “Director Cooper, I’ll go with you.”

At one in the morning, Jessie was asleep when she felt someone putting a blanket over her. When she opened her eyes, she saw Julian crouching by the edge of her bed, looking at her tenderly.

“You’re awake.” Jessie quickly sat up. She reached over to touch his forehead and felt that his fever had subsided while his body temperature was back to normal.

Julian reached out and took her hand in his, his eyes filled with an emotion she could not decipher.

“I’ll take you back to the hotel to rest.”

“No, you can’t leave the hospital yet,” Jessie refused. She was worried that his fever would recur and wanted him to be hospitalized and monitored.

“I’m already fine, but you can’t be mistreated.” Julian looked at her sleeping in the small bed in distress. Not only was the mattress hard, but she also didn’t have any room to roll over.

“How is this being mistreated? This is good enough. I’ll have you know, I once slept on the floor for two years!” Jessie smiled. She wasn’t that spoiled of a child.

At her words, the pain in Julian’s eyes intensified, and he held her hand. “You suffered too much in the past. You must not suffer any more in the future.”
