Daisy rolled her eyes and quipped, “Just y it cool!”


    Then, she pulled out a wad of cash from her purse and handed it over to the servant.


    It was eight in the morning.


    A sleek ck SUV pulled into the hospital parking lot.


    Sitting in the car, puffing on a cigarette, Albert dialed Jessie''s number on his phone. She picked up soon after. “Why do you keep calling? Mr.


    Watson, you''re married now. And besides, we ended things ages ago.” Before Albert could respond, Jessie hung up.


    He didn''t dial her number again.


    After stubbing out his cigarette and exiting the car, Albert made his way straight to the hospital''s inpatient department.


    In the VIP ward.


    Jessie''s fathery in aa. Her mother had gone home to rest after a sleepless night at the hospital. So Jessie sat there alone, staring nkly at her father.


    The doctor had given the grim diagnosis of terminal liver cancer.


    Even with surgery, her father had only a few months left.


    It was unimaginable that her family’s pir would crumble so suddenly.

    Tears brimming, she let out a soft sob.


    The nurse pushed the door open gently. “Miss Green, there''s a gentleman outside asking for you. He''s waiting” Someone wanted to see her? Jessie couldn''t quite make out who it was. After a moment''s thought, she asked the nurse to keep watch over her father.


    Stepping out of the ward, she spotted a slim figure at the end of the corridor.


    It was Albert.


    Jessie''s face drained of color. She hadn''t expected him to pop up out of the blue.


    From a distance, they couldn''t read each other''s expressions.


    Though it had been a short time, it felt like they hadn''t seen each other in ages. Albert was now somebody else''s husband, and she was no longer carefree.


    After a long pause, Jessie slowly made her way toward him.


    When they were about a meter apart, Albert noticed her swollen face.
