Chapter 615


    In the end, Karen relented and apanied Jeffrey to the hospital.


    Levi had been assigned to a private room, which was an arrangement undoubtedly made by Jeffrey.


    She had picked up fruits and gifts along the way, and as she entered the room, Levi''s eyes lit up at


    the sight of her. However, the light quickly faded when he spotted Jeffrey, who was impably


    dressed in a suit, following closely behind.


    "Levi, how are you feeling now?"


    Karen''s voice was as dry as an overcooked turkey, mostly because she was feeling guilty. She


    barely knew Levi, having only met him for the first time, but he had already taken a beating because


    of her.


    Jeffrey''s fists had been aimed straight for Levi''s face. With bandages of all sizes stered across


    his features, poor Levi looked like a mummy straight out of a Halloween party.


    "I''m fine," Levi forced a grin, pain ring across his face as he did so.


    Karen moved to check on Levi''s injuries, but before she could take a step closer, Jeffrey yanked her


    back.


    "Look, I just told Karen here to apologize to you, man. We got into a quarrel and she wanted to


    make me jealous, so she invited you to have hot pot with her. It was all about getting a rise out of


    me, not because she was into you."


    The way Jeffrey said "Karen" made her skin crawl with annoyance.


    But to Levi, it sounded like cold, hard truth. A bitter smile twitched at the corner of his mouth. "So


    that''s how it is. I thought she actually liked me."This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    "Oh,e on. That’s nonsense." Jeffrey chuckled, arching an eyebrow mischievously. "Just look at


    me. One nce and you know who she''s really into."


    "Jeffrey!" Karen couldn''t help but pinch his arm, even though he seemed to enjoy it way too much.


    To any onlooker, they were the picture of a couple yfully bickering.


    Levi felt a pang of sadness but wasn''t the type to hold grudges. Given his parents were close


    friends with Karen''s, he wasn''t about to make a big deal out of it.


    "Well, just don''t make her mad again, okay? Karen’s a nice girl."


    "I don''t need you to tell me that." Jeffrey pulled Karen into his arms and nted a dramatic kiss on


    her cheek. "We''ve already decided to tie the knot."


    Karen wanted nothing more than to sew Jeffrey''s mouth shut permanently.


    Levi nced at Karen, wanting to seek some sort of confirmation.


    She gave an awkward smile, at a loss for words.


    "Don''t listen to his nonsense. We''re still figuring things out."


    "So, he really is your boyfriend?" Levi pressed, not quite ready to give up. He had seen Karen


    struggling to break free from Jeffrey''s grip the day before, and he thought maybe there was still a


    chance for him.


    Faced with Levi''s question, Karen had no choice but to nod in agreement.


    "Yeah, he is."


    Strictly speaking, he had only officially be her boyfriend about one hour ago.


    "When we get married, you have toe for a drink," Jeffrey said, still grinning like a cat who got


    the cream.


    Levi knew he couldn''tpare to Jeffrey.


    In looks, Jeffrey was the epitome of handsome, with his narrow, expressive eyes and an effortless


    air ofziness that made him irresistibly charming. But Levi was average-looking at best.


    In terms of family background, Levi had seen the Rolls Royce Jeffrey drove the day before. The


    aura of wealth and privilege that Jeffrey exuded was unmistakable.


    Even in height, Levi fell shortpared to Jeffrey.


    Other than offering insincere congrattions, there wasn’t much left for Levi to do.


    "If I''m avable, I''ll be there."


    "Great!" Jeffrey said, taking Karen''s hand. "Now that I''ve apologized, shall we go? Maybe head


    straight to meet your parents?"


    After all, he and his parents were all set for it.
