Chapter 137

โ€œNoooo!โ€ she screamed, struggling arduously against him. Her efforts were useless. Her face flushed red, and the cold air exposed the skin beneath her open hospital gown, raising goosebumps. โ€œLet go of me! Let go of me!โ€

Panic and frustration overwhelmed her. He, however, remained composed. His long fingers pressed against her wrists. Smiling, he said, โ€œSister, you can shout louder. There are bodyguards, nurses, and doctors on shift. They might hear you, butโ€ฆโ€

He paused, studying her with a burning gaze. โ€œI assure you, no one will come to save you.โ€

Graceโ€™s body froze. โ€œI know heโ€™s telling the truth. Even if I scream until my throat is sore, no one would dare enter this room. Because this manโ€ฆ is Jason!โ€

She remained silent as he leaned forward, his lips pressing against her jaw, her neck, then pausing at her collarbone, showering it with tiny kisses.

โ€œStay by my side. Didnโ€™t you say that on this earth, I care for you and youโ€™ll care for me too? Iโ€™m giving you the opportunity now, but why donโ€™t you want it?โ€ he mumbled.

Grace felt a piercing pain in her heart. โ€œYes, I did say that once, but hearing those words now feels like a mockery.โ€

She thought, Because youโ€™re not Jay. Heโ€™s not the homeless person I thought he was, a fellow sufferer. Heโ€™s Jason, the man capable of changing the weather in Emerald City.

He propped himself up slightly, studying her. โ€œI am. If you want me to, I can be like I was then. I can act in a manner you like.โ€

She smiled wryly. โ€œEven if you acted that way, youโ€™re not Jay.โ€

โ€œMy Jay doesnโ€™t exist anymore. He was a hallucination from start to finish.โ€

He pursed his thin lips, coldness blooming in his beautiful, amorous eyes. After a moment, he replied, โ€œAre you so repulsed by โ€˜Jasonโ€™? But Sister, have you considered that only I, Jason, in Emerald City, can elevate you, give you a chance to escape your current fate? If not me, who would offend โ€˜Jasonโ€™ for your sake?โ€

He straightened, gave her a haughty glance, and left the room.

Only then did Grace sit up and fasten the buttons of her hospital gown. She wrapped the covers tightly around her trembling body.

โ€œHe didnโ€™t really want me; he just wanted to show me that as long as he wants something, I canโ€™t object! I canโ€™t even refuse him!โ€

Terrence relayed the investigation results to Jason. โ€œThat day, Lina met with her usual companions: family, colleagues, and neighbors. But there was an exception: Zoe.โ€

โ€œSeanโ€™s sister?โ€ Jason asked, muttering to himself.

โ€œYes. Linaโ€™s colleagues said that during their fight, Zoe mentioned your name, Mr. Reed,โ€ Terrence continued.

Jason smiled coldly. โ€œSo the slip-up was caused by Zoe Stevens.โ€
