Love Contract novel Chapter 386

"Open the car door for me!" Lucas shook the rain off his head.

Jazlyn rolled her eyes at him and walked towards the car. Aisha asked her to take a rest but she did not. Part of her wanted to see Lucas, so she volunteered to come out. This way, she would get to see him unsuspectingly.

They carried William to the car together. Since Archer had been thinking about Aisha all the time, he asked Jazlyn to drive Lucas and William to the hospital. Then, Lucas, Jazlyn, and a half-comatose patient were inside the car.

"It's unexpected that you are willing to sit in the same car with me," said Jazlyn on the driver's seat.

"I had no choice. Do you really think I'd be willing to be with you?" As Lucas spoke, he wiped the rain from William's face.

Jazlyn raised her eyebrows in disbelief. She did not seem to believe his words. Or maybe, she did not want to believe it. "Is Mr. Lan okay?"

"I guess he will have to rest for a few days. He's extremely feverish now."

William's face was pale and unnaturally red. Despite being unconscious, he kept muttering something under his breath.

"He is miserable only because he has done many wrong things," said Jazlyn.

"I feel sorry for him whenever I recall what he and Mary have experienced these years." Lucas sighed in pity and continued, "If he wanted to be with Mary in the end, he should have been good to her."

"It's too late for him now. Mary is getting married." Jazlyn's eyes darkened and she continued, "I think that Barry should be nice to Mary. They are going to hold their wedding in three days."

"In three days?" Lucas' expression was in utter surprise. "They are in such a hurry!"

Jazlyn smiled in response. All of a sudden, she remembered something. "By the way, we need a groomsman for the wedding."

"Are you the bridesmaid?" Lucas raised his head and asked. He then proceeded to wipe the rain off William's face again.

"Well... Yes, I am." Jazlyn suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Why did her question seem that she was inviting Lucas?

Fortunately, he did not notice it. He just smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it. I'll leave the best man to someone else. Although Barry is a good man, I can't stand being the groomsman of William's rival in love while he's lying in bed, unconscious."

Jazlyn nodded in agreement. "You are right."

The two sighed and did not say anything more. Jazlyn stepped on the gas and the car sped up. Their short journey to the hospital was silent and awkward.

It was sunny the next day. Everyone except William went to the wedding shop to try on their wedding attires. Afterwards, Aisha and Jazlyn left to go to the hotel to pack their things. They would move in to Barry's villa for a while to accompany Mary.

As Aisha was driving, the car had to stop from time to time due to the traffic. Supporting her arms, she drove slowly as she waited for the car in front to move forward little by little.

"My patience is slowly running out! Why is the traffic so heavy?" Aisha complained and looked around angrily.

Jazlyn smiled and said, "Let's enjoy the scenery while waiting."

"The scenery?" Aisha suddenly smiled meaningfully. She caught a glimpse of a familiar face in the distance with someone else. Looking at the man and the woman sitting by the window of the coffee shop on the left side of the road, she said slowly, "It's really a beautiful scenery!"

"Isn't it?" Jazlyn followed Aisha's gaze. "There are so many people coming and going."

"Nah. Not that." Aisha turned to look at Jazlyn. "Look closely at the two people sitting there!" Aisha pointed at a coffee shop and asked, "Do you recognize that man?"
