Chapter 225

Jason, as Drew turned to look at him, the door to the hospital room suddenly swung open by Bryce’s assistant.

At the sight of Jason and Drew just standing at the doorway, the assistant was momentarily taken aback before offering a respectful greeting, “Mr. Jason.”

Jason gave the assistant a brief glance, nonchalant as he entered the room.

Upon Jason’s arrival, Bryce greeted him with a composed nod, “Hey.”

Bracing herself up in bed with both hands, Estrella said, “It’s just a minor fracture. You don’t have to come. You’re making it seem like I’m at death’s door.”

Drew chimed in carefully, “Ms. Estrella, Mr. Jason is really concerned about you. He rushed here right after his flight landed, even canceling a very important meeting.”

After Drew spoke, Bryce shot him a glance. So, was Drew playing spokesman for Jason?

Jason paid no mind to their insinuations, merely walking up to Estrella’s bedside, looking down at her, “What happened?”

Estrella looked up at him briefly, “Just work stuff.”

Ever since that slap, Estrella rarely confided in Jason as before. She no longer shared everything with him like she used to.

Hands still in his pockets, Jason just stood there, gazing down at Estrella. For a moment, the atmosphere in the hospital room grew somber.

Estrella, noticing the mood, was about to send them both away when the room door was opened again.
