Knowing that I couldn’t argue against it, I let him have his way. As we made our way down the stairs, I said, “Oh, right. I forgot to tell you that Hannah found her Mr. Right and is going to get married soon.”
He hummed in response. After walking into the garage, he opened the car door for me. “Does John know about it?”
I shook my head. “I’m not sure, but I support Hannah’s decision. A woman’s youth doesn’t last for many years. She gave it all to John, but in the end, her sacrifice was in vain. It’s time for her to move on.”
He cast me a sideways glance, fastening my seatbelt for me. I didn’t quite like the scent in the car, but it was too chilly to roll down the window, so I bowed my head and looked for perfume in his car.
“I thought you would defend your brother,” he commented indifferently.
I let out a snort. “I told him to cherish her, or else he might lose her. He brought this upon himself, so he can’t blame anyone else but himself. It’s pointless to advise someone like him.”
Unable to find any perfume in the car, I let out an exasperated sigh, planning to buy a bottle of perfume and put it in the car.
As he started the car, he saw my forehead crease and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“There’s an odd smell in your car and I don’t like it.” While speaking, I noticed the bouquet of roses on the backseat. My brows drew together. Was it the smell of the roses? But it wasn’t purely floral scent. There was a whiff of female fragrance.
He seemed to have caught it too. With his brows furrowed, he asked, “I guess I’ll have to get flowers myself next time.”
I tilted my head and glanced at him. “Who did you buy this bunch of flowers for?”
The man raised a brow at me. “I bought it for you.”
Pressing my lips together, I said nothing. The car headed toward the hospital. Summer had received a few treatments. Due to the pain, she started resisting it.
Therefore, when the doctor asked her to go into the operation theatre, she couldn’t stop sobbing.
Later, Jared came with two men trailing behind him. It had been nearly a year since I last saw him. The man was dressed in a pale blue shirt. His usual neatly styled hair was replaced by a buzz cut. His skin became tanned, but his dark eyes appeared more resolute now. The moment he met us, his gaze fell on Summer. His eye turned red-rimmed at the sight of the girl who was now as thin as a rake.
