Just as she tuned toward the door, Albert suddenly said, Dont tell me Youre going to leave without inquiring about Axel. He kidnapped and tortured Jeslyn and also stabbed me in the abdomen with a knife. | have enough evidence to put him behind bars for at least ten years. Arent you going to ask about him and beg me to have mercy on him? Jessie, her back still turned against him, said nothing for a while.
With a sigh, she finally turned around and said, Well, you have my attention; tell me what you are going to do to him.
True to his nature as a cunning businessman, Albert didnt reply to her question but instead asked, Would your view of me be affected based on what | do to him? If | decide to throw him to jail for, say ten years, you wont feel heartbroken for him, right? Seeing Albert as being hypocritical, Jessie sneered at him. Just tell me ‘what you want from me! Do you want me to plead for him or not? Albert smiled softly and replied, Isnt it obvious, Jessie? Id hate it if you had uttered even just a single word in his favor. In fact, if you dare to, then | can promise you that hes going to suffer more for what he did. And
Im sure you know very well that Im not the forgiving type.

Albert knew her so well, that it almost felt like he could read her mind.
He had expertly shut down anything that she could have said and rendered her completely speechless.
She turned toward the door again and was about to walk away when Albert whispered, You cant leave just like that, Jessie.
With a raised eyebrow, Jessie turned around and looked at him.
It was at that moment that everything clicked in her mind. Everything that Albert had been doing was simply to force her back to him.
Gritting her teeth, she walked up to him and said angrily, Youre out of your mind, Albert!
With a chuckle, Albert nodded smugly and replied, Of course, | am. | dont have any more time to sacrifice waiting for you to warm up to me, Jessie.
In case you havent noticed, Im getting older by the day. Besides, Axell got himself into this situation and | had no part in this.
Albert then sighed deeply, grabbed Jessies hand, and continued gently, These days, my mind has been filled with memories from our time together that day.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter being patient for so long, he was now simply incapable of holding back anymore.
Upon hearing Alberts words, Jessie felt a surge of emotions welling up, threatening to spill over in tears.
With great effort, she stifled them and croaked out, Albert, dont you think its a tad late for this? Uncertain whether it was truly late, Albert was only certain of one thing- he couldnt bear to see her leave.
As Albert had claimed, Jessies departure was out of the question. As she cracked open the wards door, she was met by a line of black-clad bodyguards, the leading one respectfully informing her, Miss Green, Im
afraid you cant leave without Mr. Wastons approval.
Fuming with anger, Jessie slammed the door shut, pivoting to face Albert.
Whats the meaning of this? Despite having undergone surgery and being in a weakened state, Albert resisted the urge to sleep.
His lips pallid, he managed a smile and beckoned to her, If you want answers, come closer. Ill tell you.
Injured as he was, Jessie harbored no fear of Albert acting rashly.
