Chapter 1339
Jayden turned around and left the security aisle.
Harper returned home, unable to sleep as she thought about how Preston looked so distressed with
red-rimmed eyes.
She got up and went to the terrace, lighting a cigarette.
At that moment of smoking, she suddenly remembered Preston, who would always take the cigarette
out of her mouth.
“Smoking is bad for your health. Don’t smoke again next
time…”
The most common thing he said to her was to advise her not
to smoke.
Looking at the lit cigarette between her fingertips, Harper extinguished it for the first time.
Then, she grabbed a jacket, quickly got in the car, and headed to the hospital.
Elsie wasn’t there at the moment, and there was only Preston.
in the hospital room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen he saw her come in, Preston remained calm and glanced at her.
Seeing his gaze, Harper paused, as if just remembering that he had said he never wanted to see her
again.
She stood at the doorway, staring at Preston. After hesitating for a long time, she finally gathered the
courage and walked
over.
“Are you… okay?”
Harper had come to ask about what happened during the day, but when she saw Preston’s pale face,
she involuntarily expressed concern.
The person lying in the hospital bed ignored her, seeming to have no intention of speaking to her or
seeing her again, with his eyes closed.
Seeing him like this, Harper didn’t know how to start the conversation. She stood in front of the hospital
bed, feeling awkward for quite a while before finally mustering the courage to ask him.
“I came to ask you, why did you hit Jayden?”
This accusation undoubtedly struck Preston’s heavy heart like
another
“What, I hit Jayden and you’re indignant on his behalf?”
“I’m not indignant on his behalf, I’m afraid that you…”
“Afraid that once I’m better, I’ll go and hit him?”
Preston stared coldly at Harper.
“Don’t worry, once I’m better, I will definitely teach him a
lesson!”
From the time he was young until now, Preston had never
endured this kind of humiliation!
Even if Harper stood up for Jayden, he would make him pay the price!
The killing intent that flashed in Preston’s eyes made Harper
tremble inwardly.
“Don’t do something foolish.”
“Whether or not I do something foolish, it has nothing to do
with you.”

door.
“Leave, don’t come see me again.”
Harper’s heart ached for a moment, but when she felt the coldness in Preston’s eyes, her courage
wavered.
She had already rejected him so heartlessly, causing him to have an accident and end up in the
hospital. It would seem hypocritical to show concern for him again.
After advising him to rest well, Harper picked up her pace,
turned around, and left.
As she walked out of the hospital room, she ran into Elsie. When Elsie saw her coming out of the room,
she instinctively glanced at Preston inside.
Elsie noticed that both Preston and Harper didn’t look good, and instantly knew that they hadn’t
resolved their issues. She
breathed a sigh of relief.
“Come with me.” She reached out her hand and beckoned
Harper with her finger.
