Chapter 706

Jason's plea tugged at Monica's heartstrings, leaving her with a bittersweet feeling. As he began to speak, emotions she had tried to keep in check suddenly threatened to overflow. Forcing a smile, she tried to keep her cool and sat back down. "Sure thing. Do you want

some water? I can get you a glass."

Jason glanced at the fruit bowl and spotted the apples. "Could you peel an apple for me?"

Peeling an apple would take some time-maybe he just wanted a few extra moments with her.

"Okay," Monica replied, picking up an apple and finding the paring knife. She settled into her chair and started peeling it slowly.

They sat in silence. Monica focused on the apple while Jason reclined on the hospital bed, his gaze steady on her. Her mind was racing, fully aware of Jason watching her. Suddenly, the peel snapped.

"I'll cut it into slices for you," Monica offered, adjusting the apple and continuing to peel.

"Sure," Jason nodded.

Monica sliced the apple into small pieces, arranged them on a plate, and handed it to him.

As Jason took the plate, he suddenly said, "Monica, I'm going to sort things out with Alisa soon."
