He silently took in Sandy’s gentle demeanor as she chatted with Rayna. He yearned for her love, but when he thought about the aggressive way she had acted back at the restaurant, he looked away and out of the window while clenching his fists.

He knew Sandy did not want to acknowledge who he was. She was only pleasant because Rayna was around.

He knew that because she had never once spared a glance at him from the very second she entered the room.

After a while of chatting with Rayna, Sandy thought it was late and time to leave.

“Rest well, Rayna. I’ll come and visit you again if I’m free tomorrow.” Then, when she saw Rayna’s protruding stomach, she gasped. “Did your stomach grow larger?”

“Mm-hmm. The babies are getting bigger very quickly.”

“It must be tough on you.” Sandy held Rayna’s hand before rising to her feet.

However, instead of hastily leaving the room, Sandy looked at Jefferson, who was by the windowsill, and said, “Rayna needs to rest, so I doubt she’ll need any company now. Why don’t you send me off instead?”

Rayna blinked in surprise, but she came back to her senses a second later. “Yes, I’m a little tired, and I’d like to take a nap. Jefferson, send Ms. Sandy off, will you?”

Rayna would be delighted if the relationship between Jefferson and Sandy improved.

Like Rayna, Jefferson was not expecting Sandy to say that to him. He was taken aback for a second, but he soon bobbed his head in agreement and said something to Rayna before leaving with Sandy.

The two of them walked down the corridor and headed toward the elevator.

The gentle expression on Sandy’s face was gone. What replaced it was a look of indifference. “Let’s find a place and take a seat.”

Jefferson answered, “Okay.”

After exiting the hospital, Jefferson surveyed his surroundings before leading Sandy to the café beside the hospital.

Once they found a table and sat down, he asked politely, “What would you like to drink?”
