Janet thought that Jerry was right. She wiped away her tears at once, and replied, "I"m not sad. I just felt some pain coming from my wounds."
It was obvious that she was just making up an excuse, but Jerry didn"t debunk her lie.
And after he saw Jane"s reaction, he could see that Jane was acting out jealous, but wasn"t aware of it.
"Jane, you should be positive and optimistic. Don"t be sad just because of Daniel, " said Jerry.
Jane was his younger sister, and he didn"t want to see Jane becoming sad over any man.
When she heard Jerry"s words, Janet seemed to be lost in thought for a little while, and then nodded, saying, "I got it, Jerry."
But in fact, there were two conflicting ideas present in her mind. One was that she liked Daniel.
The other was that Daniel was a despicable man and she shouldn"t like him at all!
In the bar
Daniel also kicked the other woman out of the private room and slammed his phone on the table in front of him.
After he lit a cigarette, he called out to Sven.
... Daniel"s words all of a sudden sent a chill through Sven. "Daniel, we should leave now, " he said.
Daniel, who blew the last puff of smoke out of his mouth, then put his legs on the table, and said, "Sven, mother* had asked me to introduce some girls to you. So, from now on, I will definitely try my best to look out for some girls that suitable for you."
(*TN: Here mother means sworn mother)
...
"No, thanks, Daniel. That was my treat tonight. I"ll tell Jane that it was my idea to ask the two women to come in and stay with you, " replied Sven. Sven then tried to wear a smile on his anxious face, but it didn"t work on Daniel at all.
"Stop smiling, it"s disgusting! But you are, after all, my good friend, so I will seek out for some famous models for you, " said Daniel. He had been scolded by Janet, but he wasn"t depressed; he actually felt a little more better.
And that was just because he had seen Janet angry, and that was enough for him.
When he saw her getting mad, he was happy!
"Famous models? I don"t want one, but you can choose one for yourself!" Sven refused him with a bitter smile, because he knew that, under these circ.u.mstances, Daniel was just pretending to look for women for him just to get back at him for what he had earlier done.
Daniel then drank down his last swallow and stood up with a cigarette in his mouth. "Sven Si, you just wait for my gift!"
When he heard him, Sven screeched with exaggeration. "Daniel Si, if you dare to send me any famous models, I"ll... introduce some boyfriends to
“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.
“Marry into a family with tens of billions of a.s.sets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.
Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...
o do. Have a good time!" said Ella. She could see that Brian liked Jane, so she didn"t want to disturb them and thus left.
In fact, she liked Daniel better but, after all, Brian had saved Jane. Ella also didn"t want to think of it too much and decided to just let nature take its own course of action!
After Ella left the ward, only Janet and Brian remained in the room. Janet said, "Brian, thank you for saving me. After I leave the hospital, I must visit you along with my mother and father to fully express my thanks to you!"
Brian helped her flip her bangs, and said, "Janet, it was my pleasure. I"m supposed to do this, because... well, I"m a soldier!"
When she saw his affectionate eyes, Janet looked away.
"Um. Did you catch all of the terrorists?" she asked.
"We"ve caught only three of them alive; the others were killed on the spot, " replied Brian. On that day, when he saw that Janet had jumped out of the car, Brian had felt his heart stopped beating.
When he had also seen the terrorists" bullets. .h.i.tting her, Brian had immediately covered Janet and had taken two bullets for her.
But if Daniel hadn"t come in time to save him, he would have been...
"Oh! Do you know where Shirley is? The bride who was dressed in her wedding gown and who was also injured, " inquired Janet. Just then, Brian"s thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Janet"s words. Janet had called Shirley for many times, but she found that Shirley"s phone had been powered off all along, and so she was really worried about her.
Brian thought of the wounded persons who were sent to the hospital and then shook his head. "I didn"t see her, " he said, "If you"re still worrying about her, I"ll help you find her."
