“Don’t come near, or I’ll make sure you can’t even set foot in J City, let alone stay in a hospital.” Jonathan’s tone was indifferent, “By now, allowing you to stay in J City is already more courtesy than you deserve. You should understand that.”

“I do, I do,” Bennett quickly replied, “I’m well aware of my own actions, I’m grateful for your leniency, truly.”

“If you understand, then keep your distance from Ella. Stop bothering her.”

“Mr. Lamont,” Bennett said urgently, “It was I who arranged for Estelle to marry into the Lamont family. Now that you two are getting along so well, I’d like to think I did one good thing. Please, for that, help me out one more time.”
