Chapter 223


    Sasha leaned against the hallway wall to take the call.


    “What is it?”


    Lester’s tone was a tad yful. “Nothing much, just that it’s been a while since I’ve seen. you, and I


    kind of miss you.”


    “Where are you?” Lester seemed to hear an echo from Sasha’s end.


    Sasha didn’t intend to hide it, so she replied, “At the hospital.”


    “The hospital? What happened to you?”


    “Nothing serious, a friend fell ill and was admitted, so I’m here to visit.”


    “Which hospital? I’lle to you!”


    Sasha immediately refused. “No! There’s no need for you toe!”


    Lester became suspicious. “Why won’t you let mee to find you? Is this friend someone special?”


    ‘Special indeed, my ex-husband, bet you didn’t see thating! Sasha thought.


    But she chose not to disclose this to Lester. Knowing that Lester had feelings for her, she couldn’t


    afford to reveal such matters.


    If Lester, out of impulse, created a scene at the hospital, it would affect both parties. significantly.


    Most importantly, Lester had said he’d start treating her more like a sister, and stirring him up now


    might just spark feelings of resentment.


    “Don’t you know your own reputation?” Sasha teased. “I’m afraid if youe over, you might spell


    trouble for my friend.”


    Hearing this, Lester wasn’t in a hurry anymore and even chuckled.


    “You don’t trust me that much?” Lester asked.


    “I really don’t.” Sasha admitted. “If you keep this up, when will you ever find a real girlfriend? I’m waiting


    for you to introduce me to a sister-inw.”

    Lester, who was initially quite pleased, deted at thatment.


    “What sister-inw? Stop talking nonsense, I’m not done ying the field yet.”


    Sasha sighed with relief, and told him. “You can’t be carefree forever, it’s time to get


    serious.


    Lester fell silent on the other end.


    Sasha, realizing btedly that she might have hurt his feelings, felt a bit awkward and quickly


    apologized. “I’m sorry…


    But Lester let out a sigh of relief. “Fool, what are you apologizing for?”


    “It’s not what I meant.” She felt a twinge in her heart, truly not intending to hurt Lester, but love couldn’t


    be forced.


    Lesterughed. “I know, don’t worry, I won’t overthink it.”


    Still, Sasha felt ufortable.


    The conversation had taken a turn, and she now felt like the viin.


    Sensing her guilt, Lester chuckled helplessly. “Alright, since you’re at the hospital, I won’t distract you


    from spending time with your friend. We can hang out when you get back.”


    “Okay…”


    “Let’s leave it at that for now, but I’m wounded, you know, being abandoned by you for a friend. You’ll


    have to make it up to me when you’re back.”

    “Sure.” Sasha agreed without hesitation. “I’ll make it up to you.”


    After some more casual talk, they hung up.


    Sasha breathed a sigh of relief, turned to go back to the sickroom, but saw Jameson standing at the


    door, looking at her with a particrlyplex gaze.


    “You startled me, how did you get here?”


    Jameson didn’t answer her question, but instead asked. “What exactly is your rtionship with Lester?”


    Sasha frowned. “What do you mean? Don’t you know we’re together?”


    Dreame


    Then, realizing something, she heard Jameson say, “You’re lying. I heard everything jus now. You said


    you’re not his real girlfriend and advised him to stop his carefree ways.”


    Sasha suddenly stood up straight, casting a cold nce at Jameson.


    “You eavesdropped on my call?” Sasha was angry, her gaze at Jameson dark and stormy.
