Chapter 287 Arrest (1/2)

Actually, Jasper didn't read any word of the document. From the moment when Ashley came in, he had paid all his attention to her.

He had a very complicated feeling about Ashley. On the one hand, he didn't want to see her. On the other hand, he wanted to see her as often as others. Because every time he saw her, he would think of the intimate scene between her and Dylan. That scene was even sharper than a knife. The knife could not hurt him, but it made his heart painful every time he thought of the scene.

”It makes sense if he doesn't agree.” Jasper said coldly.

After waiting for a few seconds and seeing that Jasper says no more, she had no choice but to continue asking, ”so what should we do next?”

As he held the files, he tightened his grip. 'Stop asking. I don't want to hear this, ' he thought! I don't want to handle this, either! If his leg was healed, he wanted to run away right now.

”As you like.”

Ashley was struck dumb by the obvious impatience in what he said.

”Okay. I see. Have a good rest.” Ashley was badly injured and couldn't stay any longer. ”Mandy, Miss Adela, I'm leaving now.”

”Take care, Miss Ashley.” Mandy's posture was as dignified as ever.

Betty felt sorry for Ashley. Although she was often treated cold by her boss in work, she had watched her grow up. She couldn't bear to watch it, so she pushed Ashley out of this embarrassing place.

The door of the ward was closed again. Looking at the cold expression on Ashley's face, Adela felt very happy and said, ”I thought you have a good relationship with Ashley, since Nelson loves her so much.”

”Miss Adela.” Jasper was displeased to hear that. He threw a cold glance at Adela and said, ”I don't like someone irrelevant to my matter.”

Feeling embarrassed and hurt, Adela drew a long face.

Sitting on the other side, Mandy kept silent thoughtfully. 'Her son was too old to mind others' opinions, except Bruce's scolding. Obviously, he is in a bad mood, but Adela still provoke him. I can't help her, ' she thought.

After coming out of Jasper's ward, Ashley calmed herself down in the corridor. It was normal that Jasper acted moody. She had been irritated by him many times and already got used to it. She took a few deep breaths to calm down and said, ”Betty, please take me to Dylan's bedroom.”

Of course, Ms. Edith was taking care of Dylan in his room. They were watching cartoon happily on TV. Seeing that Ashley was coming, Ms. Edith called her, ”Ashley, come here to watch TV together.”

Betty pushed Ashley to the bedside and found an excuse to leave. ”Miss, I go home to cook. You stay here and take a seat. I'll come back soon.”

Hearing that, Ms. Edith thought of the meal and said, ”well, it's time for me to go home now. You can chat with Ashley for a while. I'm going back home to fetch food for you.”
