Chapter 266 Jean Wen, Stop There (1/2)

Jean stared at Calvin's unhappy face with wide eyes. She was shocked.

'Maranda really has a big mouth. She told Calvin about my illness.

Doesn't she understand that she should protect my privacy in front of a guy I've only met twice before?

I must talk to her later.'

”Actually, it's not as serious as you think. I've only been in a coma once. I'll be careful next time, ” she said with a bitter smile.

Calvin shook his head. ”You not only need to be careful, but you really have to take good care of yourself. If you fall ill now, people will gossip about you. They will think that you get sick because you are under great pressure and feel guilty about what you have done. And those who want to hurt you will be more satisfied when they learn of how your health was affected by what they had done...”

Calvin said gravely.

Jean felt as though her head was aching. She didn't expect that Calvin, who was usually quiet, was actually such a chatterbox.

Although she knew that he was speaking because of the concern he felt, She felt a little worn down.

When Calvin saw that Jean's expression was getting gloomier, he realized that he needed to stop. This was only their third meeting. It was not his place to lecture her like this.

An awkward look suddenly appeared on his face. He said with embarrassment, ”Sorry, I crossed a line.”

”That's okay. I know you are concerned about me.” Jean dismissed the awkwardness with a rushed explanation.

”It's almost lunchtime. Would you like to have lunch with me?” Calvin asked Jean as he glanced at his watch.

Jean became hesitant. ”I have an appointment with my friend...”

After saying that, Jean's expression showed the guilt she was feeling.

Although she still owed him a cup of coffee, she wasn't ready to go out for lunch with him.

Calvin was disappointed. He managed a smile as he replied, ”I wanted to take you out to lunch. But since you have an appointment with your friend, we'll go another time.”

”OK.” Jean felt relieved that Calvin wasn't pushing her. Since

Jean Wen sacrificed herself for family interests. Before her husband divorced her, she made every effort to please him.
