Chapter 158
I didnât feel surprised at all. I felt no emotions either.
Wherever Ryan was present, she behaved like a dog eyeing a meat bun, nothing she did would be surprising.
Ryanâs face darkened slightly, his voice cold. âIâm not thirsty anymore.â
âHow come youâre not thirsty anymore? Charlotte just said she would feed
youâ¦

Jessicaâs face frowned in confusion, then she muttered to herself, âWell, she doesnât understand you like I do. She canât tell when you want something.â
With that, she set the glass aside.
I had been worried about Ryanâs injury and hadnât found a good opportunity to ask about Jessicaâs situation. Now, an opportunity presented itself. I couldnât let it slip away.
I looked at Ryan and curved my lips slightly. âRegarding her, have you made up your mind?â
âYou said that you would consider it during the day, so by now you should have reached a decision,â though.
âWhat? What are y
you talking about?â Jessica, understanding that the âsheâ in my words referred to herself, spoke with suspicion.
Ryan glanced at me with gentle eyes and a faint smile. âAre you a little too quick to change sides? Iâm still a patient.â
âBut she isnât anymore.â I mocked Jessica with a glance.
She had fainted in the hospital during the day, but now she walked over on her own without mentioning any pain.
It was remarkable recovery.
However, I also understood that the cut during the day wasnât deep. As someone who cherishes life, she wouldnât give herself a wound that could endanger her life.
Then, I spoke calmly, âRyan, you know more about this matter than anyone else. I wonât let it go easily. If you donât agree, Iâll handle her myself!â
Ryan furrowed his brow slightly. âI agree.â
âWhen?â I pressed for an answer.
Jessica, still confused, shook Ryanâs arm. âRyan, what are you two talking about? Why canât I understand anything?â
Ryanâs injury was in his shoulder blade area, causing him to frown more intensely with pain. His voice chilled. âLet go!â
âOkayâ¦â
Being shouted at by Ryan in front of me, Jessica felt a bit embarrassed and complained coquettishly.

Fine, I get it. Donât have a go at me! What exactly are you two talking about?â

I couldnât stand her like this, so I smiled ambiguously. âWe were talking about sending you abroad. Do you want to go to Manya or Laost? If you prefer, Indast is also an option. Oh, the Frost family will only provide you with a oneâway ticket. Youâll have to manage all the expenses after you you get there. Good luck.â
Jessica was stunned, becoming increasingly bewildered as she listened, her face growing paler. Finally, she looked incredulously at Ryan, âRyan, sheâs lying to me, right? How could you send me to that kind of place⦠and completely abandon me?â
For her, this was undoubtedly worse than death.
Having relied on the Frost family since childhood and developed a habit of living extravagantly, now
having to earn money in a foreign country where she doesnât speak the languageâ¦. It would be torture worse than death.
Ryan stared at her, his eyes dark and unreadable, but he gave a definitive answer. âSheâs not lying.â
Tears welled up in Jessicaâs eyes, trembling as she shook her head. âNo⦠no, you canât⦠Please, I donât want to go so far from you! You clearly promised to take care of me, why are you listening to her now!â
Ryanâs voice turned cold. âWhether you go or not is not up to you. I originally planned to wait for you to recover for a while before considering this matter, but seeing youâre already lively and energetic, it should be done in these two days.â
âGary, book her a flight no later than the day after tomorrow. Let her choose from the destinations Charlotte mentioned.â
âYes, Mr. Frost.â
Jessica looked at him incredulously, tears streaming down her face. âRyan, I said I wonât go, didnât you hear⦠Please, I donât want to be so far away from you! You promised to take care of me, why are you listening to her now!â
