Chapter 1223

I could only lie and say, “Vonnie took on another movie and is very busy, very busy.”

I also promised her, saying that when I had time, I would go with Vonnie to see her.

Hailey finally believed it to be true, and then she told Vonnie and me to take care of our bodies and not to get too tired.

Upon hearing Hailey’s gentle and kind voice, I felt both sorrow and guilt in my heart. I didn’t know how long I could keep it a secret; I just hoped for a miracle to happen and for Vonnie to wake up soon.

Johnathan went to the bathroom and brought out a basin of hot water. He gently wiped Vonnie’s face and hands with a damp towel.

He looked at Vonnie, his thin lips tightly pressed together, his eyes reddened. It took a long time before he spoke, his voice hoarse and unrecognizable.

“I really miss… miss her voice, her smile.”

“I would rather she scold me, hit me, as long as she can wake up. No matter how she scolds me or hits me, I am willing.”

I turned my face away in distress, covering my mouth, crying silently.

Johnathan carefully turned Vonnie over and gently wiped her body, muttering to Vonnie.

“Actually, I regretted running out of the hotel that day. It was so obvious a calculation, how could I not have seen through it? But I still cared in my heart, caring about your liking for Quentin. Even if I had turned back to tell you that I was willing to believe you, nothing would have happened.”

“But I was jealous, I was petty. Even though I suspected that the whole scene was carefully orchestrated, I still felt resentful. You liked Quentin, so you sent him a text message and dropped everything to go find Quentin.”

“I was also angry that you treated me as a spare tire. It was this anger and jealousy that clouded my mind, so I recklessly went to drink, which resulted in causing such a thing to happen to you. I should really die. Vonnie, please wake up; no matter how you want to punish me when you wake up, even if… even if you want to go back to Quentin, I am willing to let go. I just hope you can be well. Vonnie, wake up, okay…”

Johnathan finally collapsed at the edge of the bed, crying in sorrow. The feeling of despair and sadness seemed to have been suppressed for a long time, and then it completely erupted at this moment. I bit my lip uncomfortably, not knowing how to comfort him, feeling like my heart was about to break.

I remembered the last words Vonnie said before she passed out, for me to pass on to him. I choked out to him, “Don’t be like this anymore, Vonnie really doesn’t like Quentin. When she was unconscious, she asked me to tell you that she had never done anything to hurt you.”

“So Johnathan, Vonnie’s heart really only had you.”

Johnathan slowly raised his eyes, looking at Vonnie with red eyes. I don’t know if it was just my imagination, but I felt a quick flash of deathly silence and determination in his eyes, which made my heart skip a beat.

“Johnathan…” I couldn’t help but call out to him.

He lowered his gaze and suddenly smiled, “I heard that Quentin is going to marry Kimberly.”

I was taken aback; I didn’t expect him to know about this news as well.

Johnathan glanced at me and sneered coldly, “Nowadays, all over the internet is news about their upcoming marriage, with a lot of comments wishing them well.”
