Daniel pulled Janet into his arms, not letting her take care of Caspar any longer.
Yesterday, he was so distressed and angry the moment he saw Janet looking tired in the hotel.
Except for the time they spent in bed, he would never want to see her tired.
"Just so you know, I won"t ever let her suffer again!"
The both of them carefully pondered his words.
Janet felt happy hearing those words come out of Daniel"s mouth, while Caspar simply felt guilty.
He admitted that he was very glad to see Janet upon waking up. However, he indeed forgot to notice the fact that she was exhausted after taking care of him.
They kept silent in the room. After a couple of minutes, Daniel spoke again, "I"ll remember all you have done for Janet. If you need any help in the future, just let me know. I"ll try my best to help you in return."
Caspar felt even more uncomfortable with what Daniel said. He realized that Daniel said those as Janet"s husband.
"He doesn"t deserve to be Janet"s husband!"
Leaning back against the headboard, Caspar sneered, stared at Daniel, and said, "Mr. Si, I really want you to do me a favor!"
With an expressionless face, Daniel said, "Go ahead!"
He took a defiant glance at him and spoke, "I want you to stay away from Janet from now on because I only want her!"
Daniel immediately gave him a long, cold stare and Janet, who stayed by Daniel"s side, felt so embarra.s.sed that she didn"t know what to say at this moment.
Daniel took a step forward.
When she remembered that Caspar and Daniel had fought with each other last time, Janet immediately grabbed Daniel"s arm, trying to stop him from starting a fight.
When Daniel looked at the nervous expression on Janet"s face, he smiled and comforted her, "It will be all right."
He also patted her on the hand.
After she heard him, Janet felt relieved. She was worried about Caspar and his injury. If the two men fought with each other, Daniel would definitely have the upper hand.
Daniel took a quick look at Croft who stood by and said, "Mr. Croft, excuse us. Mr. Caspar and I have something personal to deal with."
Croft understood what he meant, so he nodded and said, "Janet, I will stay outside to smoke a cigarette. When you"re about to leave, call me."
"Okay, " replied Janet. She began to ponder what matter
When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry’s life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend’s uncle.
Cherry thought that she had finally found her happiness, but she had no idea about the dark secrets that were bound to unfold and haunt her forever...
o me."
"He... is that sort of man... You don"t have to think too much about what he said... I... He-"
"Janet Shao!" Caspar interrupted her as she stuttered.
"Yes, yes, okay. I"m here." Janet took a few steps forward and stood beside his bed.
Caspar tried his best to calm himself down and hold back the pain in his heart. He then said, "Janet, you don"t have to defend him in front of me!"
When she heard him, Janet felt embarra.s.sed once more. She unconsciously touched her earlobe and wondered whether it was easy to see through her. She then spoke, "Caspar, you go rest. I"ll stay here to keep you company."
Caspar didn"t get angry anymore after hearing those words from Janet. He looked at her for a couple of minutes and gently spoke, "I"m scared."
Confused, she looked at the pained expression in his eyes.
"I"m scared that you won"t be here again when I wake up."
Before he met Janet, Caspar always lived in inconspicuous places to keep his ident.i.ty hidden.
Before he met Janet for the first time, Hobson had been tailing him and had hired people to mess up his life.
At that time, he wasn"t scared, but he got fed up, so he decided to stay hidden.
He asked his bodyguard to find an obscure place for him. However, he didn"t expect that he would meet Janet after living there for only a couple of days.
He cared about Janet very much.
In the beginning, he felt sorry for her.
If she had been a child from a poor family and was used to hardships and poverty, he wouldn"t have been worried about her back then.
