“Bat James should be waking up soon. Let’s go in and take a look.”


    Cassie was also afraid that Bat James would find out that his back had been destroyed after he woke up, and there would be a shadow in his heart.


    “Okay.”


    The two guys changed into asepsis clothes and entered the ward. Seeing that Bat James frowning and covered in sweat, they felt sad.


    They didn’t expect that even when he was in aa, he would still be in so much pain.


    Cassie walked closer and saw that his fingers were still trembling regrly. She stepped forward and held his hand gently.


    The next second, like a miracle, Bat James slowly opened his eyes.


    Because of the burn on his back, there was a thickyer of down furred under his body, but he would sweat if he moved slightly.


    “Bat James, are you alright?”


    Cassie looked at his difficult expression and felt a pang of bitterness.


    “I’m fine. I won’t die.”


    Bat James was lying. He had been disfigured after being sshed with so much sulfuric acid.


    But if given another chance, he would still choose to protect Cassie.


    “Don’t worry. I will cure your back. I promise you will be the same as before.”


    Bat James might have sustained some injuries, but he was still a proud man. “I don’t care. It’s not a big deal for a man to have some scars on my back.”


    “Okay, don’t worry. Not only will I cure you, but I will also deal with the person who sshed sulfuric acid on you.”


    Her eyes turned fierce as she thought of the figure carrying the acid bucket and leaving in a hurry the other day.


    She had just arrived in the Caliva city and had not offended anyone, so it was easy for her to investigate the matter.


    “You can start with Quaile rk. We just offended her. She must hate us.”


    Although he felt pain in his back, he was still able to analyze the situation calmly.


    “Quaile rk… She should not be so bold, but the rk Family might.”


    Cassie narrowed her eyes. She could not help but smile mockingly when she thought of the cowardly expression of Quaile rk.


    “Is it the rk Family? They are really bold.”


    “You don’t have to worry about it. Someone from the James family will investigate it. I’m seriously injured. Grandpa won’t stand by and do nothing.”


    Was it the confidence of the Crown Prince of the James family? It was really respectable for someone to stand up for him when he was in trouble.


    Cassie burst intoughter. “If the James family wants to investigate it, which is their business. But I will definitely find them and avenge you.”


    After a few more exchanges, Bat James said he was sleepy, so both of them went out of the room.


    Cassie nned to go back to the James family first to ask Mr. Old James for some herbs.


    the James family was big and prosperous. They should be able to find anything.


    Gazing at Cassie, who mused, Ziad Powell asked, “Do you want to go home? I’ll see you off.”


    Cassie shook her head. “No, thanks. I still have something to do. You should go.”


    Ziad Powell didn’t ask too much. He nodded and left first.


    Cassie had just walked out of the hospital corridor when she suddenly saw a familiar figure.


    Javen was outside the hospital. He was smoking one cigarette after another, and the floor around his feet was littered with ashes.


    “Javen, why… why are you here?”


    Javen took a deep breath. “I didn’t do it on purpose just now. I was just worried about your injuries.”


    When Cassie heard that, she immediately felt wronged. “Javen, I’m fine, really fine.”


    Cassie did not expect herself to say such pretentious words one day.


    But for some reason, when she looked into his affectionate eyes, she couldn’t help crying.


    She suddenly thought of a saying on the Inte. Love always made people want to cry.


    “I know, I’m sorry.”


    Cassie took a deep breath and opened her hands. Javen got it and went over to embrace her.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    He carefully avoided her arm, for fear of hurting her.


    Feeling his warmth, Cassie felt extremely secure and satisfied in her mind.


    “Cassie, tell me the truth. Are you under house arrest by Mr. Old James?” Javen knew at a nce that Cassie was lying, but he still wanted to hear what she would say.


    “It’s not house arrest, but Mr. Old James does hope that I can stay in the Caliva city and not go back to San Francisco.”


    After saying that, Cassie could clearly feel that Javen was angry.


    “Then why didn’t you tell me the truth before?”


    Cassie smiled, seemingly trying to gloss it over. “I am just afraid that you will be worried… … if you find out, you will definitelye help me. However, I do not want you to participate.”


    “Cassie, you’re not just yourself now. You’re also my girlfriend. It’s my duty to do anything for you.” Javen touched her face. When he heard what she said, his heart ached for her for some reason.


    She had always faced everything alone before, unwilling to cause trouble for others. It was also the first time that someone was willing to stand in front of her all the time.


    Cassie sniffed. “Got it. I’ll tell you in time.”


    “Well, I’ll stay here for the next few days. And we’ll go back together when everything is settled.”


    Cassie was surprised. “Who’s in charge of thepany?”


    “I called Jacen back to thepany and asked him to look after it first. The meeting will be changed to a video conference. Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”


    Javen looked at her slightly open lips and found her a little cute. He couldn’t help but go forward to kiss her.


    The sudden kiss caught Cassie off guard. Before she could react, an even more passionate kiss caused her to lose her rationality.


    Cassie felt that her lips were being sucked and bitten like jelly, sometimes light and sometimes heavy. She gradually lost herself in this somewhat immature but intense kiss.


    For a long time, Javen let go of her. He looked at her, who was panting slightly in front of him, and wiped the water from the corner of her mouth with a smile.


    “Well, I’ll take you home.”


    Cassie nodded with a blush face.


    After Javen sent Cassie home, he went straight to the hotel.


    Cassie walked in and saw Mr. Old James waiting at the door. Seeing Cassiee back, he hurried to greet her. “Cassie, how about Bat? Does he awake?”


    “Well, as long as he cooperates with thete-stage treatment, he will recoverpletely.”


    Only then did Mr. Old James feel relieved. He showed a seemingly kind smile, but in fact, it contained many emotions. He asked, “Cassie, who is the person who just sent you home?”


    Her heart sank. “It’s a friend in the Caliva city. We met at the hospital this time, so he sent me back.”


    “Friend? Are you sure it’s not Javen Smithing from the San Francisco?”


    Mr. Old James was a smart man and he guessed it at once.


    “Cassie, Javen is just a little handsome and rich. There are many people like him. I can find you a better one, OK?”


    Cassie frowned and said unhappily, “I only like him.”


    Hearing that, Mr. Old James changed face suddenly. “I won’t allow you to be together!”
