Chapter 311 I Won’t Allow You To Even Take Half A Step Away From Me


    Jean asked Moore expectantly.


    "Of course," Moore replied without a tinge of hesitation. Without even asking her where they were


    headed to, he directly stood up and looked as if he were ready for it.


    When Jean heard Moore''s prompt reply, a smile immediately showed up and brightened her face. She


    instantly removed the nket and got off the bed. After that, she walked into the bathroom to wash her


    up and put on some makeup. With everything in ce, she went out with Moore.


    At first, Moore was d to go somewhere with Jean. But the initial excitement disappeared when


    Moore found that Jean stopped outside the ICU.


    ''Is Jean going inside to visit Henry?


    Nothing strange or wrong has happened. Then, why is she suddenlying here to see Henry?


    She even asked me to keep herpany. Why?'' Moore was at a loss of words.


    As he walked side by side with Jean, he felt her tension build up.


    "Jean..." he called catching her attention. But not knowing what to say, he just looked down. Before he


    could say anything, Jean replied back," Moore..." Jean paused for a while. Then she lookedMoore


    straight into his eyes and added in a low voice," You will have to keep mepany whatever happens.


    I won''t allow you to take even half a step away from me."


    Hearing these words, Moore was stunned. Taking great pity on this woman in front of him, he hurriedly


    replied with a firm nod," Okay, I will. I promise."


    Jean didn''t feel at ease until she heard Moore''s reply. Now she rxed as her tension was relieved. At


    Joy and Shirley were toweling Henry. Hearing the sound, the two of them looked up. As soon as they


    saw Jean, both of their faces contorted into shock and irritation.


    "You......" Joy stammered. She figured that Jean would still be alive, but she had never expected her to


    muster up the courage and stand in front of her so soon. With a burst of panic in her mind, Joy still


    pretended to be calm and said," Why are you here?"


    "Not for you. I am here to visit my father." At the sight of this evil woman, the time when she grabbed


    her neck came back to her mind.


    When Joy squeezed her neck with her hands, Jean felt as if her muscle was pierced. On top of that,


    Joy''s sharp fingernails nearly created holes on Jean''s neck.


    What had happened to her earlier was the most physically draining incident of her life. She


    unknowingly turned her eyes wide open and tried hard to suppress her fear.


    "Father?" Shirley eximed after she calmed herself down on seeing Jean," Jean, you have clearly


    said that your rtionship with the Wen family has been severed. Now, are you so shameless to even


    call him father again?"


    "Whatever I have said, our father-daughter rtionship can''t be changed. Besides, if he will recognize


    and admit me as his daughter or not is his choice, not yours! So please, Shirley, keep your nose away


    from my business. You don''t have any say in it,"


    Jean coldly retorted while she bravely stared at Shirley straight into her eyes.


    "You......" Upon hearing her refutation, Shirley regretted having saved Jean from her mother''s


    murderous hands. She thought that she shouldn''t have stopped her mother from squeezing Jean to


    death.


    "What the hell do you want to say?" Jean walked towards the bed. She seemed to have understood


    something when she stared at Henry, who was lying still on the bed.


    ''Am I the only one who knows that Henry hase to his sense?


    If Joy had known this, she wouldn''t have had the courage to barge into my ward and throttle me, ''


    thought Jean with an intense look.


    Beforeing here, Jean had assumed that Joy would want to kill her again because she would have


    been agitated by the fact that Henry had gotten back to his sense from hisa.


    But at that moment, Jean understood that no one other than her knew about it. Even now, Jean found it


    hard to believe that Joy had tried to kill her just because she had been annoyed by her words.


    ''Joy, how badly do you wish for my death?'' Jean gave out a cold chuckle.


    ''You have shown me nothing but ruthlessness. I won''t be so kind to you anyone, '' thought Jean firmly.


    "Jean, you are not wee here. Just get out of here," Joy denounced her with great fury, putting on a


    grumpy face.


    "I am here to visit my dad, not you. I don''t care if you wee me or not," Jean retorted coldly, once


    again, without any sign of fear.


    "You......" Joy found it hard to believe how thick-skinned Jean had be. Suddenly, her face turned


    livid, and she continued," Since you don''t appreciate my kindness, don''t me me for being rude to


    you."


    As soon as she finished her words, Joy rolled up her sleeves as though she intended to throw Jean


    out.


    Jean''s expression remained the same because she already knew that Joy would act in a threatening


    manner. Instead of fear, her face carried aposed look.


    As expected, Moore took several steps forward before Jean even had an opportunity to speak. "What


    do you want to do? You are the elder of the Wen family and Jean is a junior. Are you shameless


    enough to use your hands on her? How immature you can be!"


    Upon hearing Moore''s critical questions, Joy suddenly stopped and stood still on the spot. Now Joy


    understood why Jean hade to this ward with thepany of a strange man.


    It was because Jean wanted someone to guard her as she feared Joy would attack her viciously again.


    ''Jean, are you scared?


    What a chicken! You can''t fight your own battles.''


    Joy sneered and let out a vicious smile. ''Anyway, I don''t think that man will be with you for the rest of


    your life.''


    "Shirley, let''s go." Joy looked at Shirley with an indifferent look, knowing she could gain no advantage


    in this situation.


    "Mom!!" Shirley whined. Deep down, Shirley envied Jean as she almost always had a man near her for


    protection.


    Even though Jean was an extremely awkward woman, these men seemed to care a great deal for her.


    Their affection for Jean puzzled Shirley.


    "Let''s go... If they want to stay here, let them stay. Let''s go to eat together..." As soon as she finished


    speaking, Joy reached out to Shirley and took her arm. The two of them left and walked out, side by


    side.


    Shirley was still reluctant to leave, as her gaze was still fixated on Moore. After walking out of the ward,


    she couldn''t help questioning," Mom, why did wee outside? Aren''t you afraid that Jean will wake


    my father up?"


    "Your father won''t wake up in the presence of that son of bitch even if he isn''t in aa. Also, can we


    gain any advantage there if we stay? That man is giving me some fierce look. He looks like he has


    been physically trained and I didn''t want to risk our lives. Both of us are no match for him. We will be


    unable to withstand his attack even if he only uses his one hand!"


    Joy spoke with trembling lips.


    "I shouldn''t have stopped you from throttling Jean to death. She is still so arrogant in front of us,"


    Shirley said with regret.


    "Now it is toote to say these things. But take it easy, Shirley. I don''t think that man will be with her all


    the time. Sooner orter, there will be a chance for me to attack her. Then, I will definitely not let her


    go," Joy said with a mischievous smile on her face.


    "Mom, you mean..." All of a sudden, Shirley''s eyes gleamed with curiosity about what her mother had


    nned for Jean.


    After Joy and Shirley left, the noisy ward suddenly fell silent. Nothing apart from the ticking sound of the


    medical instruments was heard.


    With a bit of hesitation, Jean slowly walked towards the bed.


    Looking at Jean''s back, Moore felt burdened and heavy-hearted although he didn''t know the reason

    behind these emotions.


    ''Jean is so slim and feeble. Yet she has experienced so many hardships in life.'' Moore''s heart cried for


    Jean and her sufferings.


    "The two of them have left. Don''t pretend to sleep," Jean said in a voice that was both crisp and calm.


    Her words scared Moore who was still lost in thoughts. Atst, he intuitively shifted his gaze to the bed.


    As soon as he turned his eyes on Henry, his expression turned into that of shock.


    He watched Henry slowly open his swollen and bleary eyes. Henry stared at Jean but found it hard to


    keep his gaze on her. Atst, he said grumpily," Why are you here? I don''t consider you to be my


    daughter."


    In spite of Henry''s harsh words, Jean chuckled and said," Very good. It seems that you have turned


    much better now. Take it easy. I did note here to say that I consider you my father either. I just


    want you to tell me why my mother died."
