Angela’s full–body examination was completed. Although the report was pending, the doctor concluded that there were no major issues, aside from the visible slap ma
As a precaution, he suggested that Angela stay a night in the hospital.
After the doctor left, Jonathan sat by the bedside. He gazed at Angela like she was a child who had erred, and gently inquired, “Are you still in pain?”
The side of her face that had been struck was swollen, and Angela felt a burning sensation.
She shook her head, her voice soft as she answered, “It’s much better after I applied the prescribed medication. Now, it’s just a little uncomfortable.”
Tenderly, Jonathan stroked her head. “Then, rest well.”
As he rose to leave, she caught his sleeve and stopped him. He turned back, asking softly, “What’s the matter?”
Angela bit her lip, gazing up earnestly. “Are you upset?” She spoke slowly, perhaps to prevent worsening her injury.novelbin
Each word was uttered gently, yet they tugged at Jonathan’s heart. He settled back down, clasping her hand. “Yeah.”
“I’m sorry.” Angela lowered her gaze, her tone sincere. “I didn’t intend to cause trouble. I felt compelled to assist Sarah to prevent…”
Potential assault.
Although she could have turned a blind eye, witnessing the situation compelled her to act.
She understood that self–preservation was key after her rebirth, yet her innate kindness prevented her from standing idly by.
Jonathan’s gaze was profound as he gently remarked, “I’m not upset because you helped others and got into trouble.”
Angela raised her eyes, puzzled. “Then… is it because I lack intelligence? Or that I couldn’t defend myself but acted impulsively?”
In retrospect, she was somewhat fearful. She had consumed a bit too much alcohol at the time, leading to her actions.

Primarily, she assumed that being in a reputable club would mitigate any potential issues, never anticipating Howard’s blatant disregard for rules.
Jonathan shook his head once more, a slight furrow in his brow, before stating. “Cassie reached out to me for assistance.
Finally, Angela knew why Jonathan showed up.

“But you can rely on?”
Others sought his aid in times of peril, so why didn’t Angela?
Taken aback, she asked, “Are you upset because of this?”
Was he upset because she failed to seek his help? But they were only allies.
If it were another matter, it would be acceptable, but burdening Jonathan, who was
preoccupied with important affairs, with her impulsive actions seemed unjustifiable. He was incredibly busy.
Jonathan remained silent, his expression somewhat uneasy. If he admitted it. he would seem
petty.
Observing his demeanor, Angela felt as though she had stumbled upon a revelation.
Then, she recalled his ailment. She mustn’t allow him to dwell on it.
Her heartbeat quickened, and–taking advantage of her status as a patient–she blurted, “Jonathan, does this mean I can depend on you in the future? For anything at all?
“If you agree, don’t find it bothersome moving forward. I’m thick–skin you, it’s challenging to shake me off. So, consider it carefully.”
I’m stuck on
Angela’s voice was clear and slightly jubilant as she gazed intently at him, determined to
receive an answer.
Slowly, a smile spread across Jonathan’s face, and he looked pleased. He wanted to reach out and pinch her face, but remembering her injury, he gently
Then, he added, “For anything.”
Angela was delighted, grinning foolishly. She momentarily forgot about her injury, only remembering when she moved and felt the pain.

She gave Jonathan a gentle smile. “A gentleman’s promise is not to be broken?
After their agreement, Jonathan turned to deal with the remaining matters. He had someone inform Jessica and the others, and they hurried over.
Among them, Sarah was the most seriously injured. The doctor advised her not to move, but she still came to thank Angela.
Seeing her, Angela quickly got out of bed. “Sarah, what are you doing? Even if you want to thank me you don’t need to do it right now. If you want to rep
Howard did not hold back. Just by looking at the slap he gave her, Angela could feel it, not to mention Sarah, who had taken several slaps from him, and
Although Angela was a bit annoyed, her words were filled with concern, and Sarah understood.
But if she didn’t come to check Angela’s condition with her own eyes tonight, she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to sleep well.
In her usual gentle demeanor, Sarah said, “It’s nothing. I’ll live.”
Angela sighed. When she first met Sarah, she thought her gentle demeanor was just like. Fanny’s, so she didn’t like her at first.
After finding out that she was James‘ lover but still had Yusof running around for her, Angela’s dislike for her grew.
But later on, during Sarah’s father’s illness, Sarah’s reminders to her, and what she heard from other classmates, Angela knew that Sarah’s gentleness w
That was why she helped out at the club.
“Cassie, what is Howard Sim’s background, exactly?” Jessica was very curious at the moment. “He’s really out of control.”
There were quite a few scions in Riverdon who were spoiled, but someone like Howard, who acted like a feudal lord and disregarded the law, was really

The other three leaned in, listening attentively..
Meanwhile, Jonathan had just left the hospital when he received a call from Axel. “Boss.”
“Speak.”
“Howard Sim’s left foot and right hand are broken, just like three of his ribs. It’s hard to say about other injuries, though. Oliver has a temper, so he mightin a similar state, but we didn’t use much force on those who were just watching.”
Jonathan remained silent, listening to Axel’s report without a word.
