Sophia threw herself onto the bed. Her eyes were red with concern as she looked at post-treatment Jeremy. She
asked, “How do you feel, Jeremy? Do you feel any pain?”
Jeremy neither looked at her nor said a word.
Melinda had a worried frown as she observed the man on the bed. She then turned to Tommy instead of
approaching Jeremy. With a sincere look on her face, she expressed her sincerest apologies and said, “You’re Mister
Jeremy’s right-hand man, yes? Please accept my apologies for how things have turned out. My husband has a bad
temper, and Mister Jeremy was on the receiving end of his anger when his temper flared up. Rest assured that our
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfamily will take full responsibility for the injuries inflicted upon Mister Jeremy today. We’ll find the best doctors and
provide the best medicine to ensure that Mister Jeremy will have a full recovery.”
Though Melinda was amiable to him, Tommy still had some measure of animosity toward Adam’s family after what
happened. He stated straightforwardly, “Mister Jeremy has access to ample medical resources. He has endured the
beating, so I genuinely hope your husband will fulfill his end of the promise.”
Melinda’s mind went blank for a moment. She had not been present during the incident and was therefore unaware
of what transpired, but she nodded earnestly in a demonstration of her goodwill and cooperation. She reassured
him, “Please don’t worry. My husband will honor his word.”
Tommy replied politely, “I sure hope so.”
Meanwhile, Sophia remained by the bedside. Still overwhelmed with sorrow, she exclaimed between streams of
tears, “Why are you so stubborn, Jeremy? You didn’t have to provoke my dad like that! None of this would’ve
happened if you didn’t provoke my dad…”
Jeremy did not respond. He looked ahead and breathed steadily.
Tommy approached her and instructed her to leave in a less-than-cordial tone. “Mister Jeremy needs rest at the
moment. I suggest you leave so he can continue to recover in peace, Miss Sophia.”
“No, I can’t leave. I want to stay with Jeremy,” Sophia insisted, refusing to budge.
Tommy frowned and advised, “Please don’t get agitated, Miss Sophia. Your presence may disrupt Mister Jeremy’s
rest.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMelinda approached Sophia and gently urged her while offering some advice, “You won’t speed up Mister Jeremy’s
recovery if you stay here. Let him rest for now. You can always visit him later.”
Though Sophia was still visibly concerned, she realized that her stepmother’s suggestion made perfect sense.
Jeremy was in severe pain after suffering those injuries, and the most important thing he needed was proper rest.
After some hesitation, she stood up and said, “Get well soon, Jeremy. I’ll see you some other time.”
She then turned away, even though she was still very worried.
At that moment, Jeremy opened his eyes calmly and spoke with an insipidly cold tone. “Get all the documents ready.
I want the issue regarding the marriage certificate settled between us.”
Sophia turned around and looked at him with a frown. “Why are you still thinking about that when you’re so
seriously injured? Can’t it wait?” she asked.
