Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 535 You Don't Have to Care About Me

Deep in the night Alma Jones opened her eyes from the bed and saw a few familiar faces. Her eyes were both tired and helpless. "You guys..." "Why are you surrounding me?" she asked in a hoarse voice. It was a sad reality that she did not die. "Sister Xia, Dr. Xu, can you please go out first? I want to talk to her alone." Sister Xia wanted to say something, but she was still pulled out by Dr. Xu. "Why?" Lyra took a deep breath as the door closed. Alma Jones' brows were suffused with a cold light as if she had no hope for the future at all. She snorted lightly, "Why am I not dead? Or why..." "How long are you going to do this?" Lyra's voice was faint. She pulled out a chair and sat down. Her gaze gently fell on the face of the person on the bed. That pale, transparent face was deeply imprinted in her heart.

Since Alma Jones said that she would cooperate with the doctor for treatment until now, Lyra had never doubted her.

She did not want to give her any pressure.

But now, she had no choice but to intervene.

"You don't have to care about me. Let me fend for myself. Isn't that good?" Alma Jones slowly turned her head. "Even if you are related to me by blood, I don't want anyone to interfere with my life at all."

Lyra stared at her. After a long time, she said slowly, "Even if you die, you will still interfere with my life." Pa da. The tension in Alma Jones' heart suddenly broke. "Do you think your plan is flawless? You got Sister Xia to be a witness without telling her. You know that she won't lie. In the face of reporters and police, she will reveal her true feelings. This will increase the credibility of your plan." "Although I don't know how you persuaded Dr. Xu, with him as a professional doctor, your plan will go much smoother."

"But have you ever thought that if there is a deviation, you will really die?" While waiting for Alma Jones to wake up, her mind had been unusually clear.

This matter did not seem like something that Huaien would do. When the news came, Qiao Lin was also very surprised. In addition, the police had actually managed to arrive at the scene in such a short time. What made Lyra most suspicious was the words that Xu Zikan had said at that time.

VIS

She slowly sighed. "Don't make things difficult for yourself." Alma Jones tilted her head, and the moonlight quietly covered her body. Her eyes slowly closed, and the tears that fell wet the pillow towel. "Right now, there is no difference between dying and not dying." She sobbed deeply and sat up on the bed. "No one is willing to donate to me. After Xu Zikan told them my identity, they quickly refused and blocked all contact from the hospital." The desperate tone and sickly pale on Alma Jones' face made people clearly feel her sadness. "That's not your fault. Maybe there is a problem with communication." Lyra tried to persuade her, but Alma Jones was completely against it. “It's my fault. I shouldn't have been taken away by Lachlan, I shouldn't have appeared in this world, I shouldn't have done so many wrong things, and I still look forward to someone taking care of me! I, I shouldn't have dragged you down." "If not for me, you wouldn't have taken revenge on Huaien. There would have been one less obstacle between you and Hank." Alma Jones' lips trembled. Although they had not known each other for a long time, Alma Jones' words revealed the lingering thoughts in Lyra's heart. Outside the door, Sister Xia kept looking inside. Unfortunately, the ward door had good soundproofing and she could not hear anything. On the other hand, Xu Zikan stood quietly at the side, as if waiting for someone to come. "Dr. Xu, aren't you worried at all? What if they start arguing inside? Why don't we go in and take a look?" "No need. The person who can resolve this situation will be here soon." Xu Zikan said with an indifferent expression. "You are talking about..."

Before Sister Xia could finish her words, a slender figure walked over from afar.

"Where is she?"

Hank's face was solemn and cold, and his body was covered with a chill. There was also a coat on his arm, which belonged to a lady.

"She's inside. They have talked for about ten minutes. Alma Jones' condition is still unstable. She can't be too excited." Xu Zikan's tone was business-like.

Hank's expression became even colder.

"Lyra can't be agitated either." Without another word, he pushed open the door of the ward and walked in. Sister Xia, who was watching from the side, was dumbfounded.

When had the two of them gotten in touch? And it seemed that they had a tacit understanding. One protected Lyra and the other was biased toward Alma Jones. "Dr. Xu, you should give me an explanation now. She is making trouble. Are you going to indulge her?" Lyra was really a little disappointed. She didn't expect that the doctor who Jasper had vouched for had actually let Alma Jones be willful.

Xu Zikan knew that he hadn't handled it well.

Because of the situation at that time, he really had no way to refuse her, so he had agreed. "I was wrong." Xu Zikan said softly, which made Alma Jones feel uncomfortable. "I was the one who threatened him. It has nothing to do with him."

The two of them lowered their heads like children who had made a mistake. "It's useless to be angry now. The police have already started investigating Qin Xiaoxiao. Even if she has nothing to do with this matter, she won't be able to get rid of anything else."

This was also the reason why Hank had been late.

Because Qin Xiaoxiao had been taken away by the police, Huaien's side was in chaos. Not only had he found many directors and high-level executives to meet privately, but he had also led to another matter. On the surface, he had let Qin Xiaoxiao become the company's vice president, but in fact, she was just a marionette. If not for Qin Xiaoxiao's accident, he would not have gradually floated to the surface. This was a good opportunity to eliminate the roots.

Hearing his words, Lyra immediately stood up. "Dr. Xu, I will believe you again. It's not that I believe in you, but I believe in your professionalism as a doctor. I hope you can take good care of her this time and don't have any more problems. Is that okay?" "Okay." Xu Zikan nodded.

Something in Alma Jones' heart was quietly growing. Hank took the opportunity to take Lyra out. "The smell of disinfectant in the hospital is too strong. You have been here for so long. You have to go out and breathe some fresh air."

As he spoke, he took out an orange from his coat pocket. Lyra looked at him and was suddenly amused by this small detail. "As the president of the Barnwell Group, when did you start selling oranges?" She deliberately teased him with a joke, which made him reveal a rare smile. "From the moment my wife was pregnant." "Who is your wife?" Lyra peeled the orange and threw a cold look at him.
