"Hospitalized? I can't be hospitalized!"
When Jamie heard from Harvey that she was going to be hospitalized, she was so frightened that she almost jumped out of bed.
Just as she moved, Harvey stopped her immediately by holding her down. "Your leg is seriously injured. If you don't get treatment in time, you won't be able to do any vigorous exercise in the future."
"But if I get hospitalized, won't my mother come looking for me? Jumping off the building would be in vain then."
"You jumped off a building?"
Having heard that she jumped off a building, Wayne was startled.
"Yeah, I jumped off from my room on the second floor, and I even used the mattress to block the door. At that time, four or five servants couldn't even open the door when they were outside."
Jamie was talking about it in high spirits, as if she was trying to show off a glorious deed she'd done.
"Jamie, I'll tell your mother about it. She'll agree to it when my work gets better."
Wayne said to her.
"How is your team now?"
Jamie was grounded by her parents ever since she started dating Wayne, so she didn't know much about what was happening on Wayne's side.
When Wayne mentioned his work, Jamie realized that she'd never really cared about his work.
"I'm working in the bank......"
Wayne's tone of voice softened as he talked about his job.
Actually, Wayne and Jamie had a good friend who was a famous e-sports gamer when they were in university. He started a team after graduating from university as he was making a lot of money from it. At that time, that friend had invited Wayne to be an assistant coach of the team.
However, when Coralie went missing during that time period, he told Hera that he was going to be an assistant coach in a game club, which made Hera really upset. Thus, he decided to give up on his own interests and work in a bank, which his mother preferred for him.
"What? Didn't you say that you wanted to work in Melvin's team? Why didn't you go?"
When Jamie heard that, she would have jumped out of the bed and beat Wayne up if it wasn't because her leg was injured.
"I...... "
"What's so good about working in the bank? Wayne, do you remember when you were in university, your tactical analysis was always so accurate? This is something that others don't have! How could you give up just like that!"
"My family was in a difficult situation at that time and I needed a stable job."
As Jamie was getting infuriated, Wayne had to tell the truth.
His reason stunned Coralie. When Wayne graduated, she was still living in a small town in the North with Hendric. She dared not contact her family because she was afraid of being discovered by Yohan.
Wayne had been interested in computer games ever since he was a child, and Coralie was clear about that.
For the sake of the Chariott family and to provide a stable source of income for the family, Wayne gave up on his hobby and chose a job that would provide more stability and please his mother.
"Wayne, it's my fault that I didn't think much about you back then."
Coralie felt very ashamed, but it was impossible for her to ask him to resign his job now to pursue his dreams.
As a sister, she would support her brother no matter what he would pursue. However, for Queenie, she would never allow her son-in-law to be an assistant coach of a gaming club.
"Even so, you can't give up on your dream."
Jamie knew what Wayne said was reasonable, but it was not enough for her to accept that Wayne did not continue to work on his dreams.
"Let's let them talk in private."
Skylar noticed that the conversation between Wayne and Jamie was quite intense, and they couldn't involve themselves in their conversation, so he asked Coralie to leave with him.
"Skylar, don't leave. When Mom comes later, she will definitely take me away."
When Jamie heard that Skylar was about to leave, she begged him to stay.
After all, she left by jumping out of her window. Queenie was probably still furious at home. When Queenie finds out about what really happened, she might not just ground her at home, but she might send her abroad instead.
"She won't be able to find you here for a short while, and Harvey will keep it a secret for you too." Skylar said.
