Chapter 2104
“Judging by the initial test, the patient seems to have escaped any significant organ damage, which ispositive news. However, there’s a serious concern about his hearing.”
Antoine found it difficult to accept and asked, “Does that mean he’s lost his hearing completely?”
“We won’t know for sure until he wakes up. Right now, he needs rest. We’ll also assess his brain andmemory when he regains consciousness.”
Antoine felt relieved that Jasper had survived but couldn’t shake his worries. As a member of the XSpecial Forces, having a keen hearing was essential to participate in missions. If Jasper lost hishearing, it could jeopardize his career. Hence, Antoine was determined to restore Jasper’s hearing, nomatter what. As for Jasper’s memory, Antoine could only sigh helplessly. Jasper was his best agentand had never made a mistake on any mission. Antoine knew Jasper’s emotions affected his judgmentduring the last mission.
Just then, Antoine’s phone rang, and he answered, “Hello.”
“Mr. Wyatt. It’s Jared Presgrave. I wanted to ask—”novelbin
“Mr. Presgrave, I assume your sister is awake. There’s no need for further discussion on this matter.Please cooperate with me.”
On the other end, Jared reluctantly gave in upon hearing Antoine’s firm response. “Understood. Iapologize for troubling you.”
Antoine knew he was acting selfishly, but he had his reasons.
The following morning, Elliot and Anastasia hurried to the hospital from the airport. Their hearts sankwhen they saw how fragile Willow appeared, even though they had only been apart for a few days.
“Mom,” Willow cried when she saw her mother, who ran over to hug her in tears.
On the other hand, Elliot went out to talk with Jared. After hearing Antoine’s wishes, he sighed. He feltguilty as their family matter had nearly cost Jasper his life. Hence, they decided not to pressureAntoine, no matter how much Willow cared for Jasper.
“Dad, let’s plan a vacation for Willow once she’s feeling better.”
“Sure. We’ll go as a family,” Elliot agreed. During his time abroad, he had resolved a matter involvingsomeone funding a war against their family. That person was no longer a threat.
“Dad, is that matter taken care of?” Jared asked.
“Yes.” Elliot nodded, and only they knew about the grim details.
Elliot clenched his fist as he watched Willow and Anastasia through the window. He felt helpless as hecouldn’t do anything about his daughter’s relationship. “Is Antoine really against Willow having anycontact with Jasper?”
“I spoke to him. He’s steadfast in his decision. He doesn’t want Willow involved with Jasper anymore.”
“Willow will find someone who loves her in the future,” Elliot said. He only wanted his daughter to behappy.
“Right now, Willow believes Jasper is gone. We just need to handle this carefully, and she’ll eventuallyrecover from the trauma,” Jared said, his gaze fixed on Willow with a heavy heart.
Inside the ward, Anastasia comforted Willow, her own eyes red from shedding tears. She wiped herdaughter’s tears and assured her, “Willow, I’ll always be by your side.”
Willow sobbed in her mother’s arms but gradually calmed down, like a newborn baby settling intosleep. However, her heart felt as if it had been repeatedly stabbed, shattering into pieces. She couldn’tfathom that Jasper was no longer in this world. How could she accept it when he had been with her justthe night before, calling her name and sharing his smile? Yet, at that moment, he was gone.
Afterward, Willow didn’t want to undergo more hospital examinations and desperately wanted to leave.Her parents swiftly brought her home. Back in her room, she carefully gathered every item Jasper hadtouched, refusing to let anyone take them away.
