Chapter 295 I Must Be Mad (1/2)

Jean and Moore made their way into the canteen. They took in their surroundings and found just a couple of people around. The reason being that it was still very early for supper. Looking at it as an advantage, they quietly sat down to talk peacefully. They found a place in the corner and ordered food right away.

Their order took less time than they had expected. The waiter brought a huge pot with everything they had ordered. Moore was not hungry at all but as soon as the food arrived, Jean started to devour everything at once. They both had decided to sit facing each other. But seeing Jean eat her food deliciously, Moore raised an eyebrow.

Moore was curious about Jean's past. He always had this urge to ask her about it but he never did.

Everything flashed through his mind. He had heard that Henry was a ruthless human being who didn't care for his own daughter. Her stepmother even tried persuading him to treat Jean right but he just couldn't. The real question that remained unanswered was if all that was true.

”Jean, can I ask you something? I don't know if it is appropriate at this moment though.” He could see the expression of her face change and something went through her mind. Moore had always hesitated in asking her about anything and this time, he had made up his mind to ask Jean about her past.

”What is it that you want to ask me?” As soon as the words were out of her mouth, she nodded in assurance to make sure that Moore could proceed with his question.

”With everything that has been going on, I don't know if you know this or not but everybody at the hospital knows about the Wen Family. Joy and Shirley have denied the facts and instead cried their hearts out in order to prove themselves innocent. Now, everybody thinks that you are the ungrateful one....”

Before Moore could finish, the tone of Jean's voice changed. Moore realized this as soon as Jean started speaking. She said,”They are very good at playing tricks and making sure they are shown as the innocent ones. I have known this since the beginning. We all know that the two of them babble a lot and we cannot stop them from gossiping. If that is what they wish to do, then so be it... Moore, you don't have to worry about me. There has been a lot of rumours about me throughout my life and I have stopped caring about them at all.”

”This is not what I am worried about. We both hate Joy and Shirley a lot but Henry is your father. You cannot feel the same about him. He is still in the coma. Do you want to go to see him? We are currently in the same hospital as your father. You should probably go and see him in person. I assure you that your feelings towards him will change drastically!” Moore persuaded her patiently.

Upon hearing that, Jean's brow furrowed and she immediately dropped her chopsticks. She stared at Moore for a few seconds before asking,”Moore, do you have anything else to say to me? Just say it.”

”I heard a nurse talking about Henry. She said that Henry might never come back to his senses again. Seeing this as the golden opportunity, Joy and Shirley have decided to give up his treatment if he doesn't wake up from the coma. I met them today because they came to see you. They wanted to tell you that Henry'

“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.
