Rose was quickly transferred to the VIP ward.
Zayne and Jay stayed in the ward, waiting for Rose to wake up.
Suddenly, Zayne uttered, "My sister doesn't have a bad drinking habit. If she does drink, it only means that she’s in a bad state of mind."
Jay replied, "I know."
He was feeling indignant toward Jay, but he dared not speak it out. "After she transmigrated, the only reason she didn’t tell you about her past life is that you failed t o give her a sense of security and trust. Have you reflected on that, Mr. Ares?"
Jay gave him a short glance. "Didn't I mention that I know of this secret as well?"
The other man was utterly speechless.
"Why didn’t you tell her?" Zayne asked.
"Because I was hoping that one day, she'd take the initiative to open up to me and tell me this secret herself."
"Is there a difference?" Zayne looked somewhat dazed.
"When she first came back, I treated her terribly because of her change in appearance. Perhaps that's the reason she's unwilling to open up to me."
A hint of melancholy appeared on his face. "She must be hoping that she’d always be the best in my heart. Since I hated Rose Loyle, she dared not make me recognize her.
"If she tells me the secret herself one day, that’d mean she’s starting to trust me and would rely on me once more." A sense of longing started growing in Jay’s eyes.
"Why is it so tiring to talk to you people with high IQ?" Zayne said gloomily, i
Jay fell into a deep silence.
Zayne was feeling helpless as well. "Fine. I wish the two of you a long and loving yet murderous relationship.”
Up until the very next day at dawn, Rose showed no signs of waking up.
Zayne and Jay looked at each other in dismay. There was a silent quibble in their eyes.
"Between the two of us, who’s going to stay here to look after her?" Zayne asked stutteringly.
He evidently wanted to drive Jay away, but the way he spoke had made his sentiment weak.
"I am," Jay said, somewhat unbudging.
