It was his grandfather's decision. Jonas trusted his grandfather, so he didn't dare to oppose it anymore.

Melinda had been recuperating from her injuries. Since her wounds were severe, the doctor suggested her to undergo a minor surgery. So Melinda was shifted to the hospital at night and Jonas had accompanied her.

The reporters were fast enough to capture pictures of Jonas and Melinda in the hospital. They had received the information about Melinda's surgery and had been following them all night in order to take pictures at the right time. Since pictures spoke a thousand words, the news about the couple spread like a wildfire.

While there were people who questioned their relationship, many of them believed that Jonas was a doting husband who cared for his wife. They believed that he was still in love with Melinda.

Nelson was glad to see Jonas taking care of her. Melinda was shocked by his behavior. Jonas wouldn't care even if it was a risky surgery. She couldn't help but wonder why Jonas was willing to be by her side when it was nothing big.

Melinda stole glances from time to time, which irked Jonas. If not for his grandfather, he wouldn't have bothered coming to the hospital.

Holley was sipping on a glass of wine when she saw the news gushing about Jonas and Melinda. Many of them had reported that Jonas was a loving husband and that Jonas and Melinda were couple goals. Holley became furious and smashed the glass that she was holding in her hand. She needed to do something about it, or Jonas and Melinda would end up being the talk of the town. She picked her phone and sent an anonymous email to the entertainment department. She had attached an intimate picture of her and Jonas in the mail.

Keeping Melinda's privacy in mind, the doctors had allocated a VIP ward for her. Her family members were also given separate beds to rest. Jonas's expression instantly changed when the door was closed.

"Don't think that I'm staying here because I worry about you. I don't give a damn even if you die," Jonas said coldly.

He instantly felt uncomfortable because part of him knew that he didn't mean it. He couldn't understand what was going on.

"Don't worry, I know that I don't have a place in your heart. I'm not flattered," Melinda replied.

Jonas glanced at her and said nothing.

It was a long day and Melinda was exhausted.

For the first few years of her marriage, she tried hard to stay up when Jonas was at home, but now she could ignore her indifferent husband. Her eyes became heavy and she drifted into a deep sleep.

Jonas had been busy lately so he closed his eyes to get some rest. He didn't know that he had fallen asleep until his phone blared in his pocket. He slowly opened his eyes and attended the call.

"Mr. Gu, check out the latest entertainment news."

Although the secretary was calm, Jonas could sense a trace of fear in his voice. The secretary was shocked by the news and felt that he needed to inform Jonas about it.
