“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.”
