Chapter 2274
Jonas and June's mood were down after hearing about Justin's incident and they hurried to the hospital.
Justin's assistant and a few senior executives were standing anxiously outside the hospital corridor waiting for Justin's operation to finish. Justin was sent to the ICU right after the operation for further observation. His current situation was not optimistic, he could not even have another surgery as he was too weak.
"You're finally here, Mr. Li. The doctor said that he is in a critical period." The assistant updated Jonas with a worried face.
Jonas's face froze and he clenched his fists in response to this news. He begged the doctor to let him see Justin.
The doctor allowed him to enter the ICU. June on the other hand was also worried and hoping that Justin could get better soon.
Justin was lying on the hospital bed with tubes connected to his body and his face was pale. His condition was critical and it seemed as if he did not have much time left.
"Justin." Jonas sat beside the bed and held his big brother's hand tightly.
Justin seemed to have heard his voice and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Jonas, you're here." Justin's eyes lit up when he saw Jonas.
"I will find the best doctor for you so you must stay strong for me. Everything will be fine." Jonas's dark eyes were filled with anxiety and concern. "I'm afraid I can't wait. Don't waste your time on me." Justin had already lost the will to live.
"No, you will be alright. Nowadays medicine is so advanced, I believe they are capable of treating you." Jonas's eyes were red as he held Justin's hand tightly.
"Skylar has never loved me sincerely. Jonas, you knew about this, didn't you?" Justin asked. He wanted to find out Skylar's true feelings, otherwise he couldn't pass away peacefully.
Jonas was startled by his question and could not look into his big brother's eyes. He lowered his head and said in a guilty tone, "I'm sorry Justin, for hiding the truth from you."
"I'm too stupid. I could have found out about it but I was busy deceiving myself." Justin mocked himself, his face revealed a hint of bitterness. "Skylar does not deserve your love. She stayed by your side for your money and also to take revenge on me. She is a very ambitious and sly woman." Jonas could finally tell his big brother Skylar's true colors.
"I knew when I saw how she was so against me distributing my property to you and Penny. Last night, she forced me to change my will, but I didn't agree. This irritated her and she shouted at me. At that very moment, I barely recognised her, she was like a complete stranger." Justin said sadly.
"Is she the reason why you were admitted to the hospital? She must pay for this." Jonas gritted his teeth.
"I'm not mad at the fact that she stayed with me for money but it was because she played with my feelings. I've been in the business world for so many years, yet I failed to see her hypocrisy." The more Justin said, the weaker his voice became. In the end, he seemed to have used up all his strength and he closed his eyes gradually.
The doctor next to Jonas said in a hurry manner, "The patient needs to rest now. You can resume your conversation after he wakes up."
"Okay, please do take good care of Justin." Jonas looked at Justin, who had fainted due to exhaustion. His heart ached for him, but there was nothing he could do.
June was waiting nervously outside the ICU. She clenched her fingers and waited patiently. She knew the situation was pessimistic when she saw Jonas's face, he was gloomy and down.
"I'm going to get even with Skylar," He took out his phone and dialed Skylar's number as he said this.
Skylar usually ignored other people's phone calls, except Jonas's. She picked up instantly when she saw it was Jonas who contacted her. "Jonas, you finally took the initiative to call me. Did your brother say something to you? If yes, has he cooled down yet? As long as he is not angry with me anymore, I will immediately go back to him."
Skylar had turned off her mobile phone and went to another city alone to take a vacation. The last time she ran away from home, Justin sent people to find her within a day and bought her lots of gifts to calm her down.
She thought that it would be the same this time.
However, she did not expect that Jonas would call her.
"Where are you? I want to see you." Jonas suppressed his anger and said coldly.
Skylar was surprised that he wanted to meet her and her voice became gentle.
"You want to see me?"
"Yes, let's meet at my company." Jonas's voice was as cold as ice.
Skylar didn't notice Jonas's anger because Jonas had always talked to her in such a cold tone.
"Okay, I'll come to you right away." Skylar's heart was beating rapidly.
Jonas was the only man that could make her drop everything she was doing and run towards him.
Jonas hung up the phone and said to June, "I have something to deal with. Wait for me at home."
June nodded and said obediently, "Okay, I'll go back first."
Jonas leaned in and kissed her forehead. "I wanted to give you a romantic trip but now it seems that I might have ruined the mood, I'm sorry about
this."
"Your brother's affair is your priority now. There will always be plenty of time for that in the future. " June did not feel bad about it. But this was how life was. Although it might not start off perfectly, it makes people excited about the future.
Jonas nodded and asked someone to take June home. Then he went straight to the company.
Ben and Bella were also affected after Jonas and June left. They stayed till the afternoon and flew back afterwards. They flew back to see the Luo family instead of visiting the city they were in.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
When Mary heard that her son was taking her daughter-in-law along, she prepared a sumptuous dinner to welcome them. "Dad, Mom." Ben took Bella's hand and walked into the living room.
"Hello Uncle, Auntie." Bella was a little shy to meet Ben's parents.
"We are very pleased that you can come home for a meal. Come here and have a seat." Mary smiled at the sight of her son holding Bella's hand. It reminded her of the time she was in love with Leo. She was also shy back then.
Time flew in the blink of an eye, it was already half of her life. Mary's heart skipped a beat when she saw Leo's gaze was also fixed on her. His gaze still managed to make her
heart flutter despite many years.
Leo's thin lips curled into a smile when he saw Mary avoiding eye contact. He wondered what was the reason for her to react that way.
At the dining table, Ben talked about the trip while Mary shared about family updates including Edith William's report cards.
Hearing that his sister's performance had fallen short recently, Ben joked, "Do you have a crush on someone?"
Leo's face darkened. "I don't allow puppy love, she is too young to be in a relationship. I will punish her if she disobeys."
Mary and Bella chuckled in response.
"It's not early to have a relationship at the age of eighteen. We were around this age when we got together," Mary sided with her daughter. Leo's face turned red and he was speechless.
