Jayden answered solemnly, "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Just focus on your assigned work. Don't worry about anything else beyond that."
Eugene tried to explain further, "But, Mr. Kyle, this matter is related to..."
Jayden interrupted him and said, "Do you think that our company can't afford to maintain a small company like Wateria Corporation? Or are you having doubts about my personal capabilities?"
After being reprimanded by Jayden, Eugene stuttered nervously, "Mr... Mr. Kyle, I don't mean that. I wouldn't dare... I just think..."
"You think that we shouldn't invest in something that's not profitable! However, I just want to do it. It makes me happy!" After that, Jayden hung up the phone.
Eugene had asked why he wanted to help Wateria Corporation. Jayden couldn't figure it out himself, so how could he answer Eugene's question?
After hanging up the phone, the room fell silent again. It was so quiet that Jayden seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat.
He moved his head slightly and looked at the cup on the bedside table. After a while, he picked up the cup and gulped the water down.
The water was warm, which warmed his stomach and also his heart.
Although he was in a feverish daze the previous night, he was conscious. He knew that the silly woman had been accompanying him and taking care of him.
Although she was silly, arrogant, and barbaric, her presence made his ice-cold heart feel a little warmer.
Something flashed through his mind.
Ahem, ahem.
His fever was gone, but the pain caused by the old injury was still there, especially since the storm was still going on outside.
Moreover, it was difficult for him to stop coughing once he started. Jayden coughed for a long time. Just as he was coughing so violently that he was gasping for air, the door swung open.
Silvia stormed into the room and threw a pack of medicine to him. "Jayden, please just eat these pills."
Jayden frowned unhappily. "Who let you in?"
Silvia said confidently, "I did!"
At present, she was not scared of him.
Silvia stood like she was ready to pounce at him any time if he went against her. Jayden glanced at the medicine that she threw at him and asked, "What medicine?"
Silvia responded annoyingly, "Poison! Poison that could kill you. Do you dare to take it?"
Jayden said, "No, I don't dare!"
Silvia continued to provoke him. "I knew you're a coward. You're even afraid of taking medicine because they're bitter. Do you even have the guts and capability to do anything significant in your life?"
Jayden raised his voice, "No, I don't."
His answer surprised Silvia. She didn't expect that she would be so agitated by his arrogance.
Since her provocation didn't work, Silvia could only change her method. She picked the cup up from the bedside table and gave it to him. "If I ordered you to eat it, just eat it. Why are you still trying to go against me?"
Jayden hated taking medicine the most, so he didn't want to take it. He put the cup back and didn't even look at her. He didn't want to talk to her.
As Simon said, this man was sick yet he didn't want to take his medicine. He was just waiting for his life to come to an end. She added, "If you don't eat the medicine, please cough quietly and don't disturb my beauty sleep!"
Jayden looked at her coldly and said, "If you think I'm disturbing you, you can go out."
Silvia was furious. "Why don't you eat your medicine? How can you recover if you don't take the pills? Do you think that you're immortal? That you will recover miraculously?"
She stood her stance and made her point loud and clear. Her demeanor made her look like a tigress brandishing its power. She was fierce, yet she appeared a little cute.
Inadvertently, the figure of the girl whom Jayden had loved for more than ten years flashed through his mind. The figure slowly overlapped with Silvia's face, who was right before his eyes. Then, the figure slowly became blurred, while Silvia's face became sharper.
"Jayden, are you listening to me?" No wonder Jayden felt that Silvia's face was getting sharper in his vision. She was approaching him so closely that she almost touched his face. How could she not be clear?
