Chapter 265 Coma Because of Poor Health


    "I am telling you for thest time, it was not me, " eximed Jesse. Her expression turned cold as she


    had run out of patience. She did not want to argue about this with Eva any longer.


    ''What the hell is wrong with this woman? How dare she yell at me like this?


    Damn it, people around will think that I am bullying her.


    But I did nothing wrong.''


    With a sneer, Jesse nced at Eva, "Watch your mouth! And if you don''t stop talking nonsense


    immediately, I''ll destroy you!"


    "You dare to threaten me?" Eva replied with an angry look. There was no way that she was ready to


    take the me for others. But seeing that Jesse was about to get mad, Eva realized that it was not


    prudent to continue shouting at Jesse. She didn''t think that she could afford to provoke Jesse''s wrath.


    However, she still had to warn Jesse, "Jesse Tang, you refuse to confess now, but wait and see. Your


    actions wille to light sooner orter, and when they do, you''ll regret what you said today!"


    With a sneer Jesse said, "Let''s wait and see."


    After throwing a hateful nce at her, Eva turned and walked toward her car.


    "Wait, " said Jesse suddenly. Eva stopped as she reached for the car door. When she turned, Eva saw


    the threatening look Jesse was giving her. Then she heard Jesse say, "I''ll get even with you if I find you


    tailing me again."


    Eva red back at Jesse. She was so furious that her body trembled.


    Upon seeing Eva''s reaction, Jesse smiled. She had been in a foul mood ever since she had left Zed''s


    office. But Eva''s scorn-filled expression gave Jesse a sense of satisfaction. With a smile on her face,


    Jesse opened the door of her car and got into it. She left the parking lot in a better mood than when


    she had arrived.


    "Damn it!" Eva screamed as she mmed the door angrily. "You''re gonna get what''sing to you


    soon! There is no way that you''re gonna be with Zed. Jesse Tang, not even in your wildest dreams!"


    After that, she slipped into her car, turned the ignition, and mmed her foot on the gas.


    In the hospital, Jean stirred. Three bottles of dextrose solution had been pumped into her body through


    intravenous fluids before Jean recovered. She wasn''t feeling as dizzy as before.


    She stretched herself and tried hard to open her eyes slowly. Back when she was taking the infusion,


    she was too weak to stay awake, and so she rested during that time. Jean felt much better now.


    Just as Jean managed to sit upright on the bed, there was a knock at the door.


    ''Did Moore also finish his infusion?''


    When Jean thought this, a smile appeared on her face. She said, "Pleasee in."


    The door opened quickly and Calvin rushed in. His expression conveyed the anxiety that he was


    feeling.


    "Calvin, you……" Jean was stunned. Her mind went nk for a few seconds. Meanwhile, Calvin


    walked toward her in a hurry. When her mind cleared, Jean asked, "Why are you here?"


    "Maranda told me. ……" Calvin fixed his eyes on her pale face and felt ashamed of himself. Now that


    he was standing in front of Jean, he couldn''t control the emotions that were flowing through him. "Did


    you faint because of the video?"


    "How do you know about it already?" cried Jean softly in surprise. Awkwardness flooded her and she


    bowed her head and said, "I''m sorry to have gotten you into trouble. I was the only target in the


    beginning, but unfortunately, you and Ron now suffer the same fate as me..."


    "Please stop saying things like that. Look at you. You poor thing! Why are you still worried about us?"


    Calvin couldn''t help feeling sorry for Jean. "Now that you know that you are the target you have to be


    stronger. Don''t faint because of anger. Find the courage to fight back next time!"


    "I......" Jean wanted to exim loudly, ''I didn''t, ''


    But she did not. She figured arguing about this was pointless given the situation.


    "Well, do you have nothing to say?" Looking at her expression, Calvin could gauge what Jean was


    worrying about. After a sigh, he tried to console her, "Just take good care of yourself and I''ll take care


    of the rest."


    "What?" asked a bewildered Jean. She fixed her eyes on Calvin. Upon studying his serious demeanor,


    she knew that he meant it. She could even tell what he was about to do as well. She shook her head


    hastily, and tried to stop him. "Calvin, I know you are good to me. But you mustn''t show up at this time,


    otherwise...... otherwise......"


    Jean hemmed and hawed as she tried toe up with a reason to convince him.


    "Otherwise Zed will misunderstand if I defend you. Is this what you are worrying about?" asked Calvin.


    Since he could gauge what she was thinking, it saved Jean a lot of trouble to exin. Calvin had


    finished her words for her.


    Jean stared at Calvin in shock once again. Then she smiled at him out of embarrassment.


    ''Well, things have gotten out of control now. My identity as Zed''s wife must have been searched by the


    powerfulizens already!''


    "No." With a quick shake of her head, Jean replied, "It''s just, if you show up in public and defend me,


    isn''t it the equivalent of proving that the video is true? After that, there will be no way for us to deny it."


    "A straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shoe. I will only tell the truth." replied Calvin. He seemed quite


    determined.


    "Telling the truth might have been useful before, but not now. This is the Inte age, and you have no


    idea how powerfulizens can be. It''s really hard to change people''s minds once they see something


    online. They believe it to be true, " exined Jean, with a wry smile on her face.


    Calvin said nothing as he mulled over what Jean had said. He thought Jean was reasonable for


    thinking of this.


    ''There is no benefit from my stepping forward to rify what happened in the video. Someone may


    even take advantage of this, and make things worse.


    She is now in such poor health. It would be too much for her if there is a new problem. She would not


    be able to take it.''


    After much contemtion and rationalization, Calvin looked at Jean helplessly, "Who have you


    offended? They are quite intent on hurting you, no? This time they seem to have done a thorough job


    of ruining your reputation. You are so vulnerable now. Besides, you are too weak to burden yourself like


    this. Just keep yourself at peace. Things are gonna work out eventually, " said Calvin. He tried to


    remain positive for Jean''s benefit.


    "Thank you so much for saying that, Calvin." Jean did not expect that Calvin woulde to visit her


    andfort her even though he had only met her a few times before.


    But her husband, Zed......


    As shepared the behavior of the two men, the sharp contrast between them became more


    obvious. She couldn''t help feeling hurt. However, she didn''t want to upset Calvin. So she tried her best


    to address him with a smile, "Now, I am cursing myself for having fainted. How could I faint at such a


    time? Otherwise......"


    "Otherwise what? Were you gonna find the person who had hurt you and fight back? Perhaps that''s the


    best way forward. I''m not sure though. For now, the most important thing for you to do is to recover.


    And then it will be your turn to fight back." said Calvin yfully. He liked seeing Jean smile and he


    wanted tofort and reassure her during this challenging time.


    "Okay!" said Jean with a firm nod. "You''re right. The truth wille to light sooner orter and I''ll clear


    my name then."


    ''But, I may not be with Zed when that happens. And I bet that is exactly what the culprit wants!''


    As she thought about this, Jean couldn''t help feeling bitter. Her earlier enthusiasm had morphed into a


    sad expression.


    As Calvin had been studying Jean, he could see that her face had paled. He figured out what she was


    thinking. It was not that surprising that this incident would damage her rtionship with Zed. After a

    sigh, he waved his hand to catch her attention before he said, "Didn''t I just tell you not to overthink?


    Why are you so rebellious?"


    He said those words in a doting manner, as if Jean were a disobedient child.


    Jean couldn''t help blushing from shame. "I''ll try."


    Despite her outward appearance, Jean was shocked. ''Why does Calvin seem to be so different?


    He not onlyforts me, but also talks with me in such a rxed tone, Which makes me feel as


    though he and I have been close friends for years.''


    "Don''t just try. Reassure yourself that everything will work out. Jean, if you don''t take good care of your


    own body, who else will? It is up to each one of us to care for ourselves. So remember, your health


    "But I..... I did not......" Jean tried exining. "I''ve suffered from anemia ever since I was a child. I''m


    quite used to it now. It is no big deal at all."


    "You fainted because of poor health. And you say this is because of something that you''ve suffered


    ever since you were a child? How can you not take it seriously?"


    Asked Calvin as he frowned at Jean in concern.
