The entire day.
There was always filled an atmosphere of joy in TM Villa Districta.
No one brought up what happened before.
Because everyone knew that if they did, for Jack Hughes and Amber Knight, it was undoubtedly sprinkling salt on their painful scars.
Even Vinna Vaughn came back early in the evening and enjoyed the moment with everyone.
She ever showed any sadness, but always kept smiling.
Now Yael Quinn was extremely lucky that could be transferred to the general ward successfully, and the follow-up... they could only wait for a long time.
No matter who it was, lying in the ICU, no one could predict what would happen on him or her tomorrow.
Only when he was transferred to the general ward, did Yael truly became a vegetative, instead of leaving her alone at any time.
During this period of time, she already set her mind.
When all the efforts didn’t work, the only thing she could do was accepting it calmly and wait for him to wake up patiently.
She would wait for him to put a wedding dress on her and pass the flowers to her.
She... had been looking forward to that day all the time!
Dinner was over.
Jack, Mr. Ward and Brent all stepped onto the rooftop.
The chilly wind was breezing, Mr. Ward and Brent both lying lazily on the lounge chairs, while Jack was sitting in a wheelchair, staring at the stars in the night sky blankly.
"It feels like it's been a long time since last time we enjoy the night wind breezing like this."
Brent sighed emotionally, "After I took a nap, I feel that a lot of things have happened."
Jack and Mr. Ward looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
During the time Brent was seriously injured and staying the ICU. Of course he would felt the world changed too fast, so did them.
To everyone in this family, it felt like unreal that they could enjoy the night wind breezing on the rooftop cozily.
It had been a long, long time.
"Mr. Ward, go fetch some beer."
Jack rubbed his nose and said.
"Is this good? Mrs. Hughes..." Mr. Ward hesitated.
Jack smiled slightly, "It's okay."
After Mr. Ward left.
On the rooftop, Jack and Brent had a brief silence.
After a while.
Jack suddenly stood up.
Brent was dumbfounded by this scene.
He stood up suddenly as well and was about to stop him Jack.
Puff!
Jack knelt on one knee and folded his hands in front with a solemn expression, "Brent, thank you for what you did on that night, please accept the salute."
He was so honest and appreciated for what Brent did for him.
"Master, get up please. You don’t have to be like this, be careful others would see us.”
Brent’s pale face showed up some panic, and hurriedly helped Jack to get up.
He knew that Jack was hiding that there was no disability on his legs, so to compete for the position of the head of Hughes family.
Even in the privacy of the villa roof, it might be spotted by the eyeliner.
Once it was discovered, the secret they kept for a long time was completely invalidated!
Brent would never allow such thing to happen.
Jack ignored Brent's support and words, but solemnly faced to Brent and kowtowed.
Brent’s expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "Master, you really don't have to do that. What's more, I didn't protect you well that night. It was my fault."
Jack slowly raised his head, looked at Brent gratefully, and smiled slightly.
"One thing can not be judged on whether it is done successfully, but whether you do or not!"
Jack said slowly, "You didn't protect me well that night, but you did not hesitate to sacrifice your life for protecting me. This kind of kindness, I can’t pay it back with only one salute, I owe you a lot!"
