Jessie's reaction was actually not unexpected from Violet.
George was indifferent to Jessie and had forced her to have abortion.
These add up to enough to break a woman's heart, even if this woman has now forgotten everything in the past, from the description of people around her, Jessie would not have much good feeling towards George.
So it was only normal that Jessie didn't believe that George was now in love with her and wanted to be with her.
"Well, George has not yet officially confessed to you, you can pretend that you are not aware of that." Violet shrugged her shoulders.
Jessie did not reply.
Violet was not angry, but said with a smile: "And Jessie, if after that George really confesses to you, will you ......"
"I won't agree to it!" Jessie replied without hesitation.
Violet blinked, "Why?"
Jessie bit her lips: "Those past hurts are still there, and his character is cloudy, I can never understand what he is thinking. It will be tired to be with such a person, so I absolutely will not be with him. I do not want to live that kind of daily guess his mind, and he treated me so badly in the past, so will he treat me well?"
"Well ......" Violet didn't speak anymore.
Indeed, the past damage was there, which could not be ignored because of the current feelings.
Jessie was right.
"Well, you are right, and I do not advise you anything, nor do I help George speak, I just want to know your real attitude towards George, since you do not have that intention, then in the future, if George is really pursuing you, you must refuse him. I am afraid that you will agree, after all, your past feelings for George was real." Violet sighed.
Jessie nodded, "I know, don't worry, Violet."
"That's good." Violet squeezed the corners of her mouth, barely smiling.
After that, the two talked about something else before hanging up the phone.
Jessie put down her phone, looked out the window and let out a long breath, then leaned back on the bed and closed her eyes, seemingly asleep.
But not long after, there was a knock on the door of the ward.
Jessie opened her eyes and looked toward the door, and opened her mouth, "Please come in."
The door opened and the person who came in was George.
Probably because of what Violet said, when Jessie saw George, her heartbeat inexplicably accelerated up, and she dropped her eyelids and did not meet his eyes.
George did not think much, after all, when she faced him these days, basically she was drooping eyes.
"Mr. Joe, what brings you here?" Jessie lifted the quilt and was about to get out of the hospital bed to greet him.
But George went to the hospital bed and pressed her shoulder, "Lie down, I just came to talk to you."
"What's it?" Jessie grabbed the quilt and looked up at him, with a confused look in her eyes, dumb, looking more or less cute.
George's eyes flickered and he reached out his hand to touch her face.
But Jessie thought he was going to make a move on her, and with a flash of panic in her eyes, she hurriedly raised the quilt to block his hand.
Seeing her move, George's pupils contracted, and his hand froze in mid-air.
"You ......" For a long time, he opened his mouth to spit out a word, but his voice was very astringent.
