Over the next few days, Rebecca visited Jeffrey at the hospital every day as promised, chatting with him occasionally. Before she knew it, the days had passed, and it was time for Jeffrey to be discharged,

Seeing him change into his own clothes, Rebecca turned to Stanley and said, “I’ve done everything you asked. I hope you’ll keep your promise too.”

“No problem!” Stanley replied without hesitation.

Rebecca just nodded, said nothing more, and left without so much as a goodbye to Jeffrey,

Watching her walk away, Jeffrey’s gaze grew more intense than ever, and emotions were swirling restlessly inside him.

Seeing Jeffrey like this, Stanley leaned in and whispered to Gregory, “If Rebecca has dinner with anyone else later, set it up so Jeffrey’s eating at the same place. Just make sure the timing and distance are right.”

Gregory replied, “Got it.”

Everything Jeffrey had asked about lately was clearly all about protecting Rebecca without her knowing. Now that he was set on this, Gregory, as his assistant, definitely wasn’t going to drop the ball.

Jeffrey finished changing, glanced over at Stanley and Gregory whispering together, and didn’t bother to get involved. With his usual calm, he turned to Gregory and asked, “Did you take care of what I asked a few days back?”

“Everything’s ready,” Gregory replied quickly.

“Good,” Jeffrey said, putting on his watch and getting ready to head out.

Gregory called after him, “Mr. Hanson.”

Jeffrey glanced over at him.

Gregory reported, “Your parents want you to come back to the Hanson residence. They said they have something to discuss with you.”

“Didn’t I tell you to ignore their messages?” Jeffrey said.

“This time’s a bit different–they mentioned Ms. Jensen,” Gregory explained honestly. “And if you don’t go back, they’ll just reach out to Stephen instead.”

Jeffrey’s eyes went even darker, emotions swirling beneath the surface.

Gregory asked, “Are you heading back to the Hanson residence?”

Jeffrey, as always, gave the same reply. “No.”

Gregory said, “Alright.”
