Chapter 553
“Alright! I shouldn’t have said that he’s a bastard. Then let me ask you, would you have gotten a room with him if I didn’t come today?”
“Nelson is my ex-employer. I’d worked with him for so long. Isn’t it normal for us to meet up? Drop your double standards! You can meet your ex-girlfriend, why can’t I have a meal with my ex-employer?” “You!” Brian was at a loss for words.
Nova hated Louise very much at that moment, so when she mentioned Louise, her tone was nasty.
“What? Do you have anything else to say? If you want to stop me from meeting other men, fire Louise first!”
Brian felt Nova was acting weirdly. She was like an angry cat.
Her eyes were still a little red. Brian gradually calmed down and asked, “What did you talk to him about? Why are you crying like this?”
Nova looked ahead and did not speak. The sun was hurting her eyes. She walked forward.
Brian grabbed her hand and led her to his car.
Nelson’s lips curved into an unfathomable smile as he looked at the two figures.
Brian felt himself crazy.
Last night, he could not resist the urge to comfort her. Today, he lost his temper because of her.
Even though Brian knew Nova had other motives for approaching him, he still felt he had already fallen for her.
His fury was undeniable as he sat in the car, watching them in each other’s arms.
Nova did not say a word along the way. She was as cold as ice and as if she was isolated from this world. No one could enter her world. When the two arrived home, Jasmine was not back yet.
They asked Melvin, and Melvin said, “Mrs. Francis went shopping with a few madams this afternoon and hasn’t returned yet.”
Brian glanced at the time. It was almost seven o’clock. Jasmine usually didn’t come back so late.
He felt something was wrong and called Jasmine.
The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up.
Jasmine’s side was noisy. There seemed to be a lot of people talking. Jasmine’s voice sounded. “Hello, Brian! I’m at the hospital. Central Hospital!”
Brian’s heart skipped a beat. “What’s wrong? Why are you in the hospital?”
“Louise is injured. Come over here!” With that, she hurriedly hung up the phone.
Nova saw the change in Brian’s expression and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Brian glanced at her and said in a deep voice, “My mother is in the hospital. She said Louise was injured. Take some rest. I’ll go and take a look.”
“Stop right there!” Nighteyes looked at him. “I’m going with you.”
Louise and Jasmine? Nova wondered why they were together.
When they arrived at the hospital,
they saw Jasmine sitting with a few other ladies of the same age. They were talking about something with serious expressions.
“Mom, what happened?”
Jasmine sighed and said, “When I was shopping with my friends today, I met someone who was on drugs He was crazy and slashed people everywhere with a knife! He go me, and it was Louise who saved me.”
Brian frowned deeply and darted a glance at the operating theater.
“I wonder how she’s doing now. She injured her arm, and the doctors are stitching her up.”
Nova sat beside Jasmine and asked with concern, “Jasmine, are you injured?”
Jasmine shook her head. “I was just scared out of my wits.”
“Which mall were you in? When did that junkie attack you?” Nova found it strange. Why was it Louise who saved Jasmine?
