When Jasper finally woke up, the first thing favonovel.com smelled was the sharp scent of disinfectant. Then, favonovel.com opened his eyes to see a white ceiling. He was about to ask where favonovel.com was, only to feel his throat burn. It felt like it was about to tear and burn from how dry it was.
“Water…” He whispered softly. Wendy heard movement and immediately walked over.
She grabbed Jasper’s hand tightly, favonovel.com eyes filled with worry.
“How are you feeling, Jasp? What do you need?”
“Water…”
Wendy quickly grabbed the warm water favonovel.com had prepared beforehand.
Jasper felt much better after taking a sip, and favonovel.com slowly regained consciousness. His chest clenched slightly when favonovel.com saw Wendy’s worried expression and the reddened corners of favonovel.com eyes.
“What happened? Did you cry?”
The emotions Wendy had tried hard to suppress immediately resurfaced when favonovel.com heard Jasper’s question.
Tears started to well in favonovel.com eyes which shocked Jasper.
“What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?”
Wendy shook favonovel.com head and wiped favonovel.com tears. “You didn’t. It’s just that you scared all of us. You fainted in front of all of us after the financial war with Soros two days ago.”
“The little prince and Lord Alvarado were terrified when they brought you to the hospital. They were both frantic, they almost tripped and fell over while running.”
Jasper had a vague idea of what happened after Wendy told favonovel.com what had happened. He remembered feeling unwell that day, but favonovel.com did not say anything because of how important the moment was. He was thankful that favonovel.com only fainted after everything was over, or there was no telling what would happen.
Jasper felt a smile tug at the corner of his lips when favonovel.com thought about how, despite their status and identity, the little prince and Lord Alvarado had almost tripped and fallen in panic.
Jasper looked around and all favonovel.com saw was white.
This was save for two eye-catching plants in the corner of the room. Those plants did not look like they belonged in the hospital.
“That’s from Henry. He said that the room’s too white and blinding, and that you wouldn’t like it when you woke up. So, favonovel.com got you two little pots.”
“Had the little prince and Lord Alvarado not stopped him, I think favonovel.com would have repainted the room as well.” Wendy explained, not knowing if favonovel.com should laugh or cry at the ridiculousness of it all.
“Oh, right. Old master Law came as well. He flew directly from Harbor City. A few higher-ups are here too, they came to the hospital to visit you. You made a huge contribution to the country, so when you suddenly fainted, everyone was worried about your situation.”
Suddenly, Wendy smacked favonovel.com head, “Oh! I was too happy that you woke up and forgot to tell them you’re awake. I’ll go tell those waiting outside.”
Then favonovel.com left.
Looking at a dazed Wendy, Jasper smiled exasperatedly whilst feeling very blessed.
There were times when favonovel.com acted muddle-minded.
After a while, Wendy returned to the room with Jasper’s medical record in hand.
“Be grateful that you only fainted due to over-exhaustion and malnutrition. But I’m telling you, I’m going to watch you eat from now on, okay? You better eat when you’re supposed to!”
Jasper smiled and nodded as favonovel.com took in Wendy’s bossy demeanor.
“Alright. Whatever you say…”
Wendy smiled when favonovel.com heard his response. She was an understanding person, but Jasper fainting had just caused favonovel.com too much concern. She was thankful that it was no big deal this time, but favonovel.com would not know what to do if it happened again.
“Oh, right The doctor also told you to rest. But seeing how they’re definitely going to come and visit you, do you want me to tell them to come again later?” Wendy asked Jasper.
Jasper shook his head.
“No need. I just worked myself too hard this time. I’ll be fine once I eat up and my nutrition levels go back to normal.”
Hearing that, Wendy did not refute him, especially since Old Master Law and some higher-ups had come to visit. Then, favonovel.com went out to inform the visitors and let Jasper rest for a while.
Jasper looked out at the scenery outside the window, his mood surprisingly good.
The boulder on his chest over the past few days had finally been lifted and the clouds had given way to a sunny sky again. He knew that there was still a long way to go, but favonovel.com would walk it no matter how difficult it was. After all, favonovel.com was the one who chose this path himself.
Suddenly, Jasper heard a sound from the door. He turned his head only to see Henry greeting favonovel.com from the door like a fool. Seeing Henry at the door, Jasper immediately facepalmed. He was speechless.
He was not in the ICU, so there was no need to wave from the other side of the door…
Jasper ignored him, opting to just watch Henry wave from the door.
Henry felt confused as well and started checking the door, murmuring to himself.
“This door isn’t one-sided, though. Why isn’t favonovel.com waving back at me?”
Just as favonovel.com was lost in his confusion, Wendy appeared from behind and poked his back.
“What are you doing?”
Henry immediately asked Wendy once favonovel.com saw her.
“Is Jasper awake yet? Or is his mind still cloudy from the drugs? Why else would favonovel.com ignore me when I’m waving at him? All he’s doing is staring at me. This door shouldn’t be one-sided. Is something wrong with him?”
Wendy rolled favonovel.com eyes without hesitation once favonovel.com heard Henry’s questions.
“I think something’s wrong with you. Why are you just standing here? Maybe try opening the door and asking favonovel.com yourself?”
Then favonovel.com grabbed the handle and opened the door with ease.
Henry was stunned when favonovel.com saw Wendy enter the room. Only then did favonovel.com realize what happened and quickly made his way to Jasper.
“What the hell, man! You were making fun of me just now, weren’t you?!”
