After Tiger was discharged from the hospital, Grayson immediately gathered the company's VIPs to visit Tiger at Lumino Garden.
Angeline, however, chickened out at the last minute.
At the thought of Jay’s indifference and aloofness toward her, she lost the courage to approach him and was afraid that she would only be jumping into a fire.
Before he left, Grayson asked Angeline over and over again, "Are you really not going to go, Ms. Severe?"
Angeline replied firmly, "No."
When Grayson left, Angeline felt a deep sense of loss.
Seeing that Angeline was in a bad mood, Grayson let out a heavy sigh and comforted her. "You’re still angry at him?"
Angeline made no reply. It was considered that she had assented tacitly.
Zayne said, "Though he sounded a little mean that day, he has his reasons. You know that he has no principles when it comes to protecting his family, don’t you? He treats Tiger as his own, so when something happens to Tiger, he feels heartbroken and sad too. If he doesn’t take it out on the president, which is you, then who is he going to take it out on?"
Angeline stared at Zayne in a daze. "Why are you speaking nice things about him?"
Zayne sighed. "The moment I think about how he has sacrificed himself three years ago in exchange for so many other lives, I think that he's worthy of forgiveness no matter the mistakes he makes right now.
"If not for his amnesia, Angeline, then he'll still be the man who is willing to risk his life for you! Are you really not going to forgive him?"
Angeline feared up.
"I'm not mad at him. I just think it's useless for me to turn up in front of him every day," Angeline said helplessly.
"He’s a married man with amnesia. If you approach him like that, you'll only end up irking him."
Zayne sighed helplessly. "But if you don't approach him, then you’ll have no chance at all."
Angeline recalled how Jaybie used to treat her as his treasure. He cared for her, loved her, and never made her feel unloved or omitted.
He tolerated all her shortcomings.
Her voice when she flattered him when she was young started echoing in her mind.
"Jaybie, if I ever run into any problems at all, you must never give up on me, okay?"
