Jordan was confused. What had Cassie done for Cora to deserve her loyalty?
"Jordan, I am not taking Cassie's side. I just can't bear to see you being so ruthless to her. Look at what you've done. In the past, you were unwilling to give her up. Now that you have a rich girlfriend, you wish that you have never known Cassie. I have never known anyone like you. What's more, Cassie wasn't the one who came to you. How can you say that she will do harm to your girlfriend? It is not like Cassie pursued you to begin with," Cora said in one breath, feeling angrier than before.
Hearing Cora's words, Jordan was speechless, but he didn't plan to let Cassie go.
Because he was quite amoral, he suspiciously attributed bad motives to anybody else, and had to defend himself. He was afraid that Cassie would do anything to offend his girlfriend.
He secretly promised himself that if his girlfriend left him, he would take Cassie's life.
"Okay, I see. I am narrow-minded, huh? Go away now. I have to go and stay with my girlfriend." Not wanting to hear more from Cora, Jordan instructed her to leave.
Seeing that Jordan was so anxious, Cora left and went to check her patients.
Half an hour later, Cassie had finished her rounds and prepared to meet Cora and have dinner with her. On the way, Jordan stopped her.
Cassie saw that he was purposely blocking her way, and asked unhappily, "What on earth do you want Jordan?"
Since Cassie wanted to walk around him, Jordan grabbed her arm.
Cassie couldn't move one step and shouted furiously, "Let me go!"
"Cassie, I warn you. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will make you regret it." Jordan was excited at hearing Cassie shout herself hoarse.
Cassie was unable to reply. Why would she talk nonsense about his business? She really couldn't understand where he was coming from.
"Jordan, I don't get it. What did I do to make you so scared that you'd even threaten me?" Cassie thought she was too powerless to fight back. She had never seen such a brazen person.
Wasn't Jordan making false counterarguments? Cassie regretted that she hadn't been more ruthless to Jordan before.
She finally realized that because she had previously condoned him, he was now so reckless. But now, she had to endure it.
"Let me go! I have nothing to say to you." Cassie felt really irritated.
With Cassie struggling, Jordan had to exert more strength and accidentally pushed her down.
Surprised that Jordan had used so much strength on her, Cassie fell to the floor, her head hitting against the wall.
Cassie covered her head instantly, feeling like it was going to explode. Unable to move, she had to squat down.
Noticing that there was something wrong, Jordan became nervous and immediately ran away.
Cora was on her way to meet Cassie for dinner, but Jordan rushed past and bumped into her. Seeing Jordan so nervous, Cora was confused and wondered what had happened.
Not thinking too much, she walked on. It didn't take long before she saw Cassie.
"Cassie..." Seeing Cassie now lying on the floor, Cora rushed over.
Finding a nurse and the doctor, she helped to rush Cassie into the operating room.
Halfway during the operation, Nick came rushing into the hospital.
He was out of breath, and looked at the door of the operating room, in doubt.
