CHAPTER 101: CHAPTER 97: HIS METICULOUS DEVOTION TO HER

She rattled off a whole list, and Laura Quincy felt a headache coming on, but it was indeed true.

This year really wasn’t lucky!

No idea what kind of bad luck I’ve run into!

Seeing that Laura Quincy had friends in the hospital, Crystal Langley left first, not wanting to interfere with chit-chat between girlfriends.

As soon as she left, Nina Pierce lowered her voice, "Do you want to tell... someone?"

Laura Quincy twisted her fingers, "In a bit!"

Nina Pierce’s eyes sparkled with hearts, "Hehe... Seems like things are going well!"

Laura Quincy blushed to the roots of her ears, "So-so! Even I find it strange myself."

Nina Pierce analyzed, "Although he has a kid in tow, at least he’s single, but still needs testing. A lifetime’s matter cannot be taken lightly!"

Laura Quincy shot her a playful glare, "Let’s talk about the future later! Just go with the flow for now."

Having just finished a meeting, Jason Hawthorne was about to head out when his assistant Mason Cross suddenly rushed to him, "BOSS, we’ve just received news, Miss Quincy accidentally fell during the third project of her outdoor training, causing a minor fracture in her ankle, and she’s already been sent to the hospital."

Jason Hawthorne raised an eyebrow slightly, "Accidental fall?"

Mason Cross nodded, "Yes, outdoor training inherently has such risks, in past years we’ve had employees fall from the balance beam, but it’s never been serious, at most a twisted ankle or something."

Jason Hawthorne frowned, "Which hospital."

"City General Hospital."

"Send me the address."

"Yes."

As Mason Cross was about to follow orders, he heard the BOSS add, "Give their chief a call."

"Understood."

Jason Hawthorne headed straight for the ward number Mason Cross provided, his natural kingly aura attracting the attention of a group of female nurses and patients, all eyeing him with hearts in their eyes.

But he ignored them all, face as calm as water as he pushed open the door to Laura Quincy’s room.

"How did you get hurt?"

"Huh?"

Laura Quincy was a bit startled at his sudden arrival; she was just about to send him a message, and then he just showed up...

Nina Pierce was also a bit surprised, then sensibly got up and left.

"Laura, I’ve got something to do, so I’ll head out first!"

"Okay."

Before leaving, Nina Pierce gave her a significant look with winks and eyebrows raised, making it obvious, but Laura pretended not to see...

Embarrassing!

After she left, Jason Hawthorne sat right by the bed, "How can you be so careless?"

Laura Quincy pouted with grievance, "I didn’t want to either! When I fell, I think my foot twisted, which caused the fracture."

Jason Hawthorne asked again, "Did someone push you on purpose?"

Laura Quincy didn’t want to cause trouble or make enemies over this, so she shook her head quickly, "No, we were just playing a game, everyone wants to win, it’s inevitable someone would fall off."

Jason Hawthorne gave her a look. Though he wasn’t clear about what happened, Mason Cross would look into the details.

From this perspective, Laura Quincy wasn’t someone who would complain recklessly just because she had his affection. Her nature was kind, preferring to bear grievances herself rather than drag others down...

"It’s good if no one did. If anyone bullies you next time, tell me right away, even if it’s Jasper Hawthorne!"

"Mm..."

For a moment, Laura Quincy was lost in his words, which always sounded so pleasant, especially with his domineering tone, how cool, handsome, and wildly charismatic...

If this continues, she might really fall for him...

Suddenly, Jason Hawthorne lifted the cover and scooped her up by the waist.

Such a sudden move startled Laura Quincy into clinging to his neck, exclaiming, "What are you doing?"

"Changing hospitals."

"I think this one is fine!"

"I trust John more."

"Uh..."

Laura Quincy was helpless as he carried her out of the hospital, her face buried against him in embarrassment, not daring to look up until they were outside.

Above her head came a teasing taunt, "Are you trying to suffocate yourself?"

Laura Quincy: "Uh..."

It’s all your fault!

Along the way, the cramped space made Laura Quincy very uncomfortable, shifting her bottom here and there to find a comfortable position, but still felt uneasy...

"Stop moving!"

Jason Hawthorne’s husky voice was filled with intense desire.

Damn little woman! She must be doing it on purpose!

Laura Quincy immediately felt wronged and dared not move, her legs straight and unable to shift, feeling so uncomfortable! Wiggling her butt wasn’t normal?

Annoying Demon King!

After a moment of silence, Laura Quincy mumbled softly, "I’m uncomfortable."

Jason Hawthorne coldly replied, "I’m even more uncomfortable."

Laura Quincy was surprised at his words, looked up at him, and complained, "I told you not to change hospitals! What if it gets worse and my leg doesn’t heal?"

"Impossible!"

"Um..."

"Stop moving around!"

"But sitting like this makes me dizzy."

"Do you want to sit up here?"

Jason Hawthorne raised his eyelids slightly, charmingly and wickedly.

Laura Quincy understood instantly, her face blushing to the roots of her ears...

Seriously!

Even with her leg like this, he’s still thinking about that!

Truly creatures that think with their lower halves!

Hmph!

"My other leg’s gone numb."

Jason Hawthorne looked at her with a dark expression, clearly holding back his fury.

"Are you feeling quite pleased with yourself now?"

Laura Quincy looked at him, shocked, "Why would I be pleased? I’m about to die of sadness! My leg already hurts, and then you keep moving me around as if I’m a puppet that doesn’t feel pain!"

"Hmph! If it hurts, you should be more careful next time!"

Jason Hawthorne gave a cold snort, a trace of imperceptible fondness flashing in his eyes.

"I said it was an accident!"

"Uh-huh!"

John was quite surprised to see Jason bringing Laura to him again, especially since he carried her in himself!

A standard princess carry!

John gave Laura a once-over with an ambiguous tease, "Yo! Hurt again? This time did you fold your leg too hard?"

"Pfft!"

Laura nearly spat out some old blood.

Jason Hawthorne’s face was full of black lines, and he shot a chilly glance at John, "Too much talk?"

John immediately tried to backtrack, "Life needs a bit of entertainment! Just joking."

Laura muttered quietly, "You did it on purpose."

"Come, let me have a look at your leg."

John resumed his serious professional doctor demeanor.

Laura expressed strong suspicion towards him, "Aren’t you a specialist in psychiatry?"

Her doubtful gaze left John feeling deeply wounded, "Actually, my medical research covers a wide range of fields, just my focus is different."

"Uh..."

Laura’s expression was blank, as if she understood, or maybe didn’t...

Still, it sounded quite impressive.

Her slightly curious little eyes made Jason Hawthorne displeased, and he forcibly turned her chin to make her look at him.

(⊙o⊙)...

What now?

Laura looked at him, puzzled, her clear eyes innocently wide open.

"Ahem..."

John beside them covered his mouth, shoulders shaking, not daring to feel too pleased lest he meet Jason’s icy stare.

Jason Hawthorne’s expression darkened, "Better get the best orthopedic and surgical experts here to treat her foot injury as soon as possible."

John patted his chest assuringly, "Don’t worry, I can absolutely guarantee that."

Laura felt indescribable emotions, being cared for felt pretty nice...

In the next hour, John gathered all the orthopedic specialists in the hospital to conduct a detailed examination on Laura.

Laura got to see firsthand what it means to be treated like a VIP.

These experts attended to her alone, analyzing every detail seriously, leaving her astonished.

For the first time in her life, she experienced such five-star service at a hospital.

Actually, her injury wasn’t that serious, The Demon King was just making a mountain out of a molehill...

In the past, ordinary people like her always had to ask doctors for help, often being ignored or receiving curt responses...

"Miss Quincy, let us know if you feel any discomfort, it helps us provide better treatment."

"Okay. Will it leave any scars?"

"No, it won’t."

"Will it affect my walking?"

"No, you can rest assured on that front, Miss Quincy."

Having all her concerns addressed, Laura felt completely relieved, understanding there’d be no lingering effects from her foot injury.

That evening, after all the doctors left, Jason Hawthorne remained in the room.

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Laura couldn’t help but ask, "Aren’t you going back?"

Sitting on the sofa, checking the stock market, Jason raised an eyebrow lazily, "Do you want me to go?"

Laura pursed her lips, muttering, "I didn’t say that, don’t pin it on me."

Jason’s sharp eyes fixed on her, "That’s certainly what I sensed."

Laura pouted, "If that’s what you think, what can I do? Your thoughts are your own."

Jason’s dark eyes narrowed dangerously, "Hmm?"

The damned little woman! Has she learned to talk back to him now?

He put down the tablet, and with a few steps reached the bedside, capturing her chin with one hand, their breaths mingling.

"It hurts!"

Laura felt like her bones were being crushed, her watery eyes looked at him with grievance.

Her accusative expression made Jason’s throat tighten, and he couldn’t help but lean in to kiss her tender lips...

A veil seemed to cloud her eyes, gaze bewildered, clearly not yet processing.

Jason Hawthorne nearly lost himself in her look, but held back, knowing she was still a patient.

Besides, John had specifically reminded him before leaving: ensure proper rest.

No exercise, so he could only tease her.

"Want more?"

His low, magnetic voice was like a cello’s sweet melody.

Laura’s face flushed with embarrassment, retorting, "Who wanted it? You were the one who kissed me!"

"Yet you seemed so reluctant to let go, savoring it."

Jason brought his lips closer to her ear, deliberately exhaling on her sensitive spot, pleased to see her shiver with goosebumps.
