Why does she get all the attention from everyone whenever something trivial happens to her? She doesn't deserve it!
Abelyn concealed her frustration and murmured, "She's not going to regain consciousness anytime soon, is she?"
"If you're exhausted, why don't you head back first?" Jessica remarked sarcastically as she had had enough of Abelyn's pretentious behavior.
Abelyn immediately explained herself, "Jessica, what do you mean? Joan is my good friend as well!"
Are you really telling me that you consider Joan your good friend? Why does it feel like you're the next in line to sabotage her? Jessica scowled at the pretentious woman.
"Argh..."
Suddenly, Joan's face scrunched up in pain before she opened her eyes.
Larry held her hand and asked, "Joan, are you feeling better now?"
When Joan saw that Larry was right next to him, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
Knowing what she had gone through, her friends looked at her with sympathy.
Poor girl! She got abducted again and again! Yet, she has never complained about her misfortunes. Jessica heaved a long sigh, feeling bad for Joan.
Slouching against the man's chest, she exclaimed, "You're finally back!"
"You don't have to be afraid anymore. I'll always be here for you!"
A few days later, Joan was discharged from the hospital. When Della found out that Joan was still alive, she felt a sense of relief.
Her assistant asked her out of curiosity, "Miss, why did you change your mind at the last minute?"
Della was looking out the French windows with a darkened expression.
Thank God Joan is fine! Otherwise, I'm going to have a hard time explaining myself! Previously, she could have taken Joan out with ease, but she found out that she was indebted to Larry and felt obliged to reciprocate his kindness.
