Chapter 1387
Taya leaned toward him and nodded after a few seconds of
silence.
“Alright, I’ll take care of you, but I’m not sure how long you’ll
need me, cousin.”
The word “cousin” felt awkward, just like when Herb called
himself that.
Johnny glanced at Taya and said, “Take care of me until I’m discharged.”
Nick chimed in, “Johnny, you’re being discharged this
afternoon…”
Johnny: …
Before he could speak, Taya quickly interrupted, “Alright, it’s settled then, I’ll take care of you until you’re discharged.”
Johnny wanted to change his mind, but she had outsmarted him, covering her mouth and laughing with Edith.
He had been annoyed, but seeing her smile, his agitation subsided a bit. “Fine, take care of me until I’m discharged.”
Taya took the opportunity to clarify, “So, if I take care of you until you’re discharged, you won’t hold it against Preston,
right?”
Johnny lazily folded his long legs and replied, “That depends on your performance.”
His tone was spoiled, but it hinted at a softened stance. Taya and Edith could tell and were thrilled, while Nick was shocked.
“When did you become so easygoing? Weren’t you demanding to send that Preston guy to jail? Didn’t you say the fairy couldn’t persuade you? Why do you agree as soon as she speaks?”
This change of heart was too sudden!
It didn’t make sense, it was highly unreasonable!
Johnny was the one who caused trouble and acted recklessly. This was probably fake!
Johnny shouted, “What does your opinion have to do with my
decisions?!”
Nick said sadly, “Your decisions are always right, it has nothing
to do with me…”
After glaring at Nick, Johnny turned his attention back to Taya
and beckoned her over with his finger. “Come here.”
Taya hesitated for a few seconds before walking up to him.
Johnny used his left hand to tap the cast on his right hand. “It’s been covered for too long, the skin next to it is a bit itchy. Can
you scratch it for me?”
Taya retorted, “Didn’t you just tell me to stay away from you?”
Johnny choked again, “That was before, now that I’m asking you to take care of me, how can you stay away?”
Clearly, her intelligence wasn’t great. She only had her looks,
and Griffon has terrible taste.
Taya couldn’t control what Johnny was thinking, but she could
see the clear disdain in his eyes.
Edith also noticed it. Initially, she wondered if Johnny had any
intentions towards Taya.
But then she thought, if he did have feelings, he wouldn’t be so full of contempt towards her. Having her take care of him was probably just a way to humiliate Griffon through her.
Besides, Johnny’s sexual orientation was still uncertain. Edith relaxed and silently stayed by their side, ensuring nobody
gossiped about Taya.
