Hartwell rolled his eyes at ir. "That''s because I''ve never beenid up in the hospital like you."


    ir retorted, "Humph! It is what it is."


    Hartwell frowned. "How''d it happen, anyway? Wasn''t Wesley supposed to be protecting you?"


    "Nothing he could have done. Someone handed me a micro-SD card. Some guys were after it. They knew Wesley was in the hospital, so they figured they could do what they wanted." ir never med Wesley for what happened. In fact, she was grateful to him—he saved her again.


    She still remembered how, surrounded by a dozen armed gangsters, Wesley had insisted the leader carry her out. And the man walked into an ambush set up by the soldier.


    "So, you''re defending him now? I can''t say anything bad about him? Let me remind you, youngdy, you''re not dating him. He won''t even admit you''re his girlfriend." Hartwell got mad every time he thought of it.


    ir shrugged. "Not his fault either. I just have to be more persistent."


    "Stop defending him! Wise up! There are so many fish in the sea. Why him? Can''t you live without him?" Hartwell was deeply disappointed.


    Sensing his anger, Joslyn wasn''t happy. She red at him. "Hartwell! What is wrong with you? ir is hurt. Quit stressing her out."


    Hartwell made no retorts.


    ir touched Joslyn''s hand and said quietly, "It''s okay. I know he means well. You should chill too. Stress is bad for the baby."


    "I''m not mad. I guess I was pretty easy to date, so he doesn''t know what it''s like. I should have yed hard to get. Then he''d have a better idea of what you''re going through. He wouldn''t talk to you like that." Joslyn rolled her eyes at Hartwell.


    Hartwell didn''t say a word.


    ir was amused by Joslyn''s reactions. "Pah! You were so infatuated with him. Someone was so excited after they were asked out that they couldn''t get to sleep. I wonder who that was."


    Joslyn blushed. She rolled


    Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.


    To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.


    "As long as I''m alive, I''m still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."


    She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.


    Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few yearster, to his astonishment.


    mom''s phone, he raced to the hospital.


    It was already the dead of night by the time he got there. The hospital was very quiet.


    Niles had already asked the security guards on duty at the entrance to let him know as soon as they spotted his brother. Once they reported him on Wesley''s arrival, Niles rushed to ir''s ward and told her, "Hurry. Get ready. Wesley''s here."


    ir put away her phone quickly. Niles helped her into bed, and left the ward stealthily.


    When Wesley walked in, he saw ir in the ward, alone, eyes ssy, staring at the ceiling.


    Seeing him, she didn''t move. She tried to cry, but the tears wouldn''te. So she pinched herself. A little too hard, though. The floodgates opened immediately. "Wesley..." she sobbed.


    Wesley quickened his pace and pulled her into his arms.


    Before this, Niles had told her Wesley was very perceptive. It was pretty hard to pull the wool over his eyes.


    She figured if she talked too much, she might give it away. Thus, ir spoke as little as possible, only wailing in his arms.


    Wesley glimpsed a medical examination report ced on the table, which read, "ir Jing, 24, terminal liver cancer."


    ''Terminal?'' Wesley was shocked. He looked at her and asked, "I...I didn''t know. Any symptoms?"
