Chapter 219 Explain Yourself Properly

Jean couldn’t help but look up, meeting Carl’s deep, cold gaze.”

Finished

He was staring straight at her. His expression was still distant, but compared to before, there was now something oddly… human about him.

She shifted her gaze away from Carl and looked up at the stark white ceiling.

Only then did she notice the strong smell of disinfectant in the air…

This was a hospital room.

She instinctively raised her wrist. A cold needle was inserted into the back of her hand, and a clear liquid was quietly flowing into her vein.

“I… how long was I unconscious?” she asked without thinking.

“Three days,” Carl replied simply.

“Three days?” Her eyes widened slightly in surprise. Then she curled her lips and let out a self–deprecating chuckle. “Guess I was hurt pretty badly, huh…”

Carl pressed his lips together, saying nothing. He just silently looked at her.

“Then… what about Queenie…” Jean suddenly remembered Queenie-

The one who’d caused her serious injuries, the one responsible for her three–day coma.

But she wasn’t sure where Carl stood on Queenie.

After all, Queenie was his subordinate, acting under him. She didn’t exactly have the right to demand Carl punish her.

Even though he… seemed to care, just a little more about her now than he used to…

But most likely, Carl’s connection to Queenie was stronger than his connection to her.

He would probably take Queenie’s side…

Carl listened quietly to the girl’s inner thoughts and, strangely, detected a hint of sorrow.

His lips tugged slightly as he spoke. “Queenie has already been punished. You won’t be seeing her around here anymore.”

“And besides, didn’t you say…” For the first time, Carl spoke such a long sentence directly to Jean. Halfway through, he subconsciously paused, his thin lips pressing together slightly as if considering his words. “Didn’t you say you were grateful to me… because you knew I was on your side… that you felt I treated you

well…”

Carl actually said a full, uninterrupted sentence that didn’t sound like he had to drag it out word by word. Amazing!
