Carter nodded and turned toward Jordan. âStay here with Boss and send her home later, Jordan. Iâll
head over to Harveyâs now.â
âGot it!â Jordan replied enthusiastically. Given how careless he was with words, he didnât want to risk
riling Harvey up either.
As such, it was a far better idea to stay put with Arielle instead.
Soon, Carter left and made his way toward Harveyâs ward that was situated just one floor below
Arielleâs.
Before he stepped into the ward, Harveyâs voice rang out from inside.
âI already said I wonât take the medicine she prepared!â
Carter shook his head and entered the room, only to see Jared standing beside Harvey with a bowl
of medicine.
Jared explained, âHarvey, this medicine wasnât prepared by Boss. It was the hospital that made it. You
can ask around if you donât believe me.â
âStop lying to me. I donât want to repeat myself anymore.â
Carter finally stepped forward and chimed in, âHarvey, take the medicine.â
Harveyâs gaze softened a little when he heard Carterâs voice, but the frown soon returned.
âI donât want anything thatâs hers.â
Carter replied, âWho told you this is hers? She isnât any better than you right now, so how would she ha
ve the energy to prepare your medicine?â
Harvey immediately froze. âWhat happened to her?â
Then, realizing he had accidentally shown his concern for Arielle, he quickly
added, âNo, donât tell me. I donât want to know.â
Pursing his lips, Carter replied with a tinge of annoyance, âWhether you want to know or not, sheâs now
staying in a ward upstairs. As for the medicine, I can swear on my life that she wasnât the one who pre
pared it. Now, will you drink it?â
âIââ
âStop being wishyâ
washy,â Carter interrupted as he took over the medicine from Jared. âYouâre not a child. You should kno
w whatâs best for you. Rather than being cooped up in the ward, wouldnât it be better to get well soon s
o you can get discharged? You will then be free
to do whatever you like, and she wonât know your whereabouts either. Besides, can you bear to see Ol
d Mr. Jupiter running to and fro between places at his age? Do you want him to tire
himself out because of
you?â
Eventually, Harvey accepted the medicine with much reluctance and drank it in one gulp.
Carter finally breathed a sigh of relief as he turned to look at Jared. âOld Mr. Jupiter used to think that yo
âI can hear you, you know?â Harvey grumbled, then turned to Jared. âDonât worry, Jared. Iâve thought it t
treatment and leave this godforsaken place as soon as possible. You donât have to stay here.
The nurses will take care of me.â
âItâs all right. Itâs the weekend anyway, and itâs not like I have anything to do at home,â Jared replied.
Ever since Harvey got hospitalized, Jared realized just how reliant he was on his brother.
However, it was also because of this incident that Jared became more mature.
Carter once again turned his attention toward Jared. âYouâre now in Jadeborough Universityâs regular cla
the more be preparing for the exam instead of babysitting this stubborn fellow.â
