"The doctor said..."
Molly thought that Carl was still talking with her, so she wanted to convey the doctor's words to him.
But Jessica interrupted her.
"I can't walk for some days," Jessica said.
Jessica's tone was very indifferent as if she was talking about something immaterial to someone insignificant.
Jessica was sitting in the car, and Carl was standing outside. Though Molly was there, she felt they completely ignored her.
She was standing in front of Carl, but it was as if she could not chip in.
"You can't walk now. But you still have to work. Are you that poor?" For some unknown reason, Carl's expression suddenly changed and he said rascally, "Or, if you ask me Mr. Carl, I'll have Kalyan send some money you need to your credit card."
He said these words in a joking tone.
Molly felt even more confused.
"That would be unnecessary. How about eating together." Jessica said indifferently.
Carl was stunned for a while, with a dull expression on his face.
Jessica said, "No?"
"Alright, how can I reject your invitation? What a coincidence! I've been dating a girl these days. I haven't introduced her to you." Carl smiled faintly with a relaxed and happy expression.
Dating... a girl...
Jessica thought in her mind for two seconds, and then she said "Oh."
Although Carl had forecasted Jessica's reaction like this, at this moment, he still felt uncomfortable.
She was really free and easy.
He was the only one who was sad.
Perhaps the words "she breaks up with him just because she wants to see him be in pain." She said previously that was her grief talking. But who knows if she really thought that way?
She had a grudge against him.
