Chapter 163 Are You Out of Your Mind


    John abruptly stopped and looked at the person that was walking towards him.


    "Jean..." When he got no response from Jean, Ethan shouted her name again.


    Jean was leaving when she noticed that someone was calling her name. She quickly turned her head


    without thinking further.


    When she found out that it was Ethan who called her, the corner of her mouth twitched a bit and looked


    very surprised.


    "Why are you here?"


    "It wasn''t easy to find you!" Ethan walked towards Jean and looked at her from head to toe. He


    wrapped her in his arms, heaved a sigh of relief and said, "You scared the hell out of me! I thought I


    won''t see you again..."


    "What are you talking about?" Jean struggled when Ethan tightly held her. She could not get free from


    her arms, so she angrily shouted, "Ethan, let me go!"


    However, Ethan was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn''t hear what Jean said. Even if he did, he


    wouldn''t let her go easily, though.


    He had been dreaming about that hug for a very long time.


    "She asked you to let her go." When he noticed what was going on there, John put a horrifying look on


    his face and demanded in a gloomy tone.


    Ethan loosened his tight embrace on Jean when he felt that danger wasing. Then he slowly turned


    around and found out that John was standing right behind him.


    "John, I suggest that you stay out of this. Or..." Ethan put a nasty look on his face and said, "You know


    my connection to Sonny, right? Just with my word, I could get you fired from hispany!"


    John was not intimidated by Ethan and apathetically replied, "Yeah? I dare you to try!"


    Jean was terrified by Ethan''s reaction. When he finally let her go, she quickly took a few steps


    backward.


    When she realized that Ethan was threatening John, she got furious and yelled, "Ethan, are you


    insane? What had John done to you that made you threaten him like that?"


    Ethan felt so shocked that time. He looked at Jean unbelievably and asked her, "I can''t believe that you


    are taking that man''s side!"


    "I am not taking anyone''s side." Jean said in anger. Then, she continued, "Look what you''ve just done


    to me. We agreed that we would just be friends, right? Did you forget about that? Don''t challenge me,


    Ethan. Or else, I won''t even treat you as my friend anymore."


    "Jean, I care for you, and I love you. But you never even noticed and appreciated it. I tried everything


    just to find the ce you were shooting at, and rushed without any hesitations when I finally found you.


    You have no idea how worried I was when I heard from the security that one of you fainted.


    When I saw you standing right in front of me safe and sound, you didn''t know how happy and excited I


    was. I was just giving you a hug because I was happy to finally see you. More than that, I was just


    trying to calm myself down. Did I do anything wrong? Is it wrong to hug you like a friend? Do you really


    have a conscience, Jean Wen?


    If you still think that I was wrong, then fine. I will apologize. I will apologize to you and to him. And


    ept that it was all my fault. I should''ve not done that. It is I who don''t have the rights to care for you,


    or even hug you. My apologies. I will leave now, and I won''t bother you anymore."


    Ethan got really emotional. After he finished his words, he bowed down to Jean and John. Then, with


    tears falling from his eyes, he turned around and left.


    Jean was stunned that moment. She never expected that Ethan would be so worried about her, and


    would do a lot for her after that call.


    Moreover, he had just given her that strange hug because he was so concerned about her.


    It was just normal for friends to hug each other, but she misunderstood him.


    "Ethan..." Jean tried to call Ethan, but he kept on walking forward without turning his head. After few


    tries, she got impatient and thoughtlessly followed him.


    "Jean, don''t!" John, who looked at her with a mix of subtle emotions, grabbed her hand and stopped


    her.


    "Let go of me, John!" Jean felt anxious and said, "I misunderstood him, so I should exin to him."


    "Don''t go, trust me." John shook his head with his face full of resolution.


    "John, what are you worried about?" Jean, who was so confused, looked at John, burst intoughter


    and said, "I will be fine. I know Ethan. I will be back in a minute. I promise you!"


    After she finished her words, Jean threw John''s hand and immediately chased Ethan.


    John gazed at Jean''s receding figure anxiously. He wanted to follow her. But when she remembered


    that Maranda was still in hospital, he hesitated.


    Ethan clearly showed his hatred towards John that night.


    That was exactly what made him startled.


    For Ethan, he was just nobody.


    But that night, Ethan looked at him with such madness that seemed to tear him apart.


    That made him even more startled.


    No! He still had to follow her.


    John made up his mind and ran after her.


    However, when he was already out of the hospital, he couldn''t see Jean and Ethan anywhere.


    John got overwhelmingly anxious. He quickly took his phone out and called Jean.


    The phone was ringing for a long time before someone picked it up. However, the person on the other


    side of the phone seemed to be Maranda who said, "Jean is not here."


    After a moment, Maranda hung the phone up.

    John felt like he was struck by lightning that moment. He stood at the gate of the hospital and waited


    for her. For the first time, he felt extreme ipetence.


    ''Jean, you have to be alright.''


    Jean, who was out of breath, saw Ethan''s tall figure when she went out of the hospital.


    A sudden joy came to her. But when she was about to shout at and call Ethan, he got in the limousine.


    There was no much time for her to think further. She immediately rushed to the center of the road and


    stretched her arms wide open - unafraid of death.


    Ethan shockingly hit the brake while his face turned pale. He looked at Jean and angrily shouted, "Are


    you out of your mind?"


    "Please listen to me, Ethan." Jean hurriedly spoke as she tried to exin everything.


    Ethan looked at her with a mix of subtle feelings and said, "What do you want to say? Get into the car


    first."


    "I..." Jean felt embarrassed and hesitated.


    She wanted to exin herself, but she didn''t want to get into Ethan''s car.


    "What?" Ethan got impatient and continued, "Don''t say it if you are reluctant."


    Ethan said while he fiercely looked at her. After a while, he restarted the engine.


    "Okay, wait. I will get into the car." Jean bit her lip and finally made up her mind.


    What she hated most in her life was being misunderstood. And when she had the chance to exin


    everything to him, she thought that a few minutes wouldn''t hurt.


    Jean quickly got into the car and fastened her seat belt. Then, Ethan drove the car away at a high


    speed.


    "Stop the car, Ethan, I just have few things to say. After that, I will go back." Jean desperately tried to


    stop Ethan


    Ethan gloomily looked at her and sarcastically asked her, "What were you trying to say? You can say it


    now!"


    Then, Ethan elerated the car.
