201 Upon hearing Jeromeâs words, Mikayla felt speechless.
was he nitpicking about such trivial matters? Did he injure his brain instead his lower back?
Mikayla didnât want to deal with his silly questions, so she went into the ward.
Jerome realized he had overreacted.
Why was he hung up for so long over Mikaylaâs casual remark?
He attributed it to not resting well last night.
In the ward, Celeste and Connor were chatting.
When Mikayla entered, the two were exchanging Whatsapp contacts.
âDone with the checkâup?â
As soon as Celeste saw Mikayla, she quickly dragged her into the washroom and locked the door.
âWhat are you trying to do?â Mikayla asked.
Celeste suppressed her excitement and lowered her voice. âI heard from Connor that you bit Jeromeâs lips?â
Mikayla had almost forgotten about it if Celeste hadnât mentioned it.
Jeromeâs lips were already looking much better today.
Connor was really observant to notice these tiny details.
I âActually, I already noticed/last night that something was wrong with his lips, but I didnât have time to think about it. Connor also had the same doubts. He was able to probe out an answer last night.â
Celeste continued, âMikayla, Jerome left a hickey on the back of your neck, and you bit his lips. It seems like it was quite a heated battle between you two.â
battle Mikayla wanted to refute but she suddenly remembered something.
âDid tell Connor about the red mark on my neck?
Given Connorâs nature, this news might reach Jerome very soon.
If it wasnât him who did it, wouldnât it cause him a lot of trouble?
âGossip is meant to be shared. Otherwise, whatâs the point of knowing so much â
Celeste said firmly.
âYouâve only known each other for a few hours, and youâve already shared much?â
âThatâs right! Itâs like weâve known each other for years.â
Mikayla was speechless.
Shortly after, Mikaylaâs health checkâup result came out, and there were no major issues.
Her shoulder injury would heal eventually if she applied the medication daily.
After completing the hospital discharge procedures, Celeste left because she had work in the afternoon.
âMs. Reign, let me send you to your workplace. Itâs on the way to where Iâm going.â
Connor volunteered..
âThereâs no need. Iâll just take the cab.â Celeste refused.
Connor held his forehead.
He acted pitiful and said, âI see youâre quite skilled at handling injuries. The injury on my forehead still hurts a lot, so I was hoping you could teach me how to take care of it if it isnât too trouble.â
Celeste readily agreed this time.
âThereâs no trouble at all. Let us talk in the car.â
Watching Connor open the door for Celeste attentively, then hurriedly take the Chapter 20 driverâs seat, Mikayla asked Jerome, âDoes Connor have feelings for Celeste?â
Jerome remained silent, seemingly lost thought.
Noticing no response from him, Mikayla waved her hand in front of him.
âWhat are you looking at? Iâm talking to you.â
Only then did Jerome glance at her.
âUsually, Connorâs infatuation lasts for about half a month at most. He wouldnât cause any harm to Celeste.â
âSo, he really does have feelings for Celeste?â Mikayla widened her eyes.
Jerome didnât respond.
The driver arrived just in time.
Jerome opened the door for Mikayla and said, âGet in.â
Eager to get answers, Mikayla didnât refuse Jerome and got into the car.
After Jerome got in, Mikayla asked again, âDoes Connor know that Celeste is married?â
