Jessie's father sighed and nodded, "Yes, I'm just worried about you, you're too soft-hearted."
Jessie smiled, "Don't worry, dad, I know what to do and what not to do, I won't mess around."
After saying that, she stopped looking at Jessie's father, but after taking a deep breath, she bravely stood out from behind him and walked towards the hospital bed.
Jessie's father had wanted to pull her back and not let her go over, but then thinking of what she had just said, he eventually reluctantly dropped his hand and let her go.
It's just that since his daughter wants to do her filial duty, he will let her do it.
Otherwise stopping his daughter won't make her happy.
Thinking that, Jessie's father simply did nothing and stood in the corner, his eyes alertly looking over the hospital bed.
He had thought about it and he did not stop his daughter from doing what she was going to do.
But he could stand guard and once that George tried to do something to Jessie, he would stop George first.
Jessie was unaware that her father was watching intently from the side as she cautiously made her way to George's bedside.
George kept looking at her.
He didn't know exactly what she wanted from him, but that didn't stop him from wanting her to come over and be by his side.
And as Jessie came closer and closer, George found that he could even feel his heart beating incessantly, that joy, that excitement, that exhilaration, was surging inside his body, non-stop.
If he hadn't clenched his fists so hard to hide it,it would have shown on his face already.
"Mr. Joe." Jessie did not know what activities were going on in George's mind at this moment, she stopped on the hospital bed, looked at George, her mouth opened.
Hearing her address him in such a detached manner, George's pupils contracted for a moment, and the excitement in his heart that had led to her arrival sank for a moment, turning into gloom.
His voice was low and husky as he said, "What did you call me?"
"Mr. Joe." Jessie repeated, and seeing her gloomy face, she blinked uncertainly, "Did I call it wrong?"
She didn't know what she had called the man before, but she couldn't guarantee that it must have been by name.
After all, she loved him before.
But now it is different; she does not love him or remember him, so it is impossible to address him as she once did.
She could only revert to a different title, one that was polite, yet did not seem intimate.
Mr. Joe is the most appropriate title.
But the man, for some reason, seemed a little less than pleased.
George did not answer Jessie's question.
For he could not have said that she did call it wrong.
She used to call him George, and even though he warned her repeatedly that she was not allowed to call him that and that he was disgusted, she still kept on calling him that.
In time, he went along with her.
Yet now she suddenly called him Mr. Joe, how ridiculous.
Is this the punishment God has given him?
Looking at George's slightly distorted face, Jessie's heart trembled and she subconsciously took a step back, distancing herself from him.
Seeing this scene, George's face once again turned grim, "You are very afraid of me?"
Jessie shook her head and nodded again, "I'm sorry, Mr. Joe, I'm not afraid of you, but I know that the me before, I should have been afraid of you, because the sight of you naturally caused fear to well up in my heart, therefore it also affected the me now, so much so that when I saw that your expression was wrong, my body subconsciously showed fear first. "
George narrowed his eyes, upset.
