The Bound Between Us

Chapter 988

"He agreed." Monica looked exhausted as she spoke to Anastasia. “He left last night."

Left. In Monica's mind, that was as good as saying yes to breaking up.

In a fit of anger, she'd blocked Jason everywhere.

Anastasia stared at her, shocked. "Wait, what? How did it end up like this?"

"Ana, seriously, don't worry about me. I'm fine. It's just a breakup. If it's not right, you move on, right?" Monica tried to sound casual, forcing a lightness into her voice. "Honestly, I realized Jason isn't even my type. We just don't click. Relationships need passion, and once that's gone, I can't do this wishy-washy, hot-and-cold thing. If we ever got married and something happened, he'd just be useless at home. What's the difference between that and being alone? Passion doesn't last forever, and it can't just be one person doing all the work."

She sounded a bit spiteful, but there was a clear logic to what she was saying. Anastasia couldn't find anything to say back.

Meanwhile, Jason had come to the hospital, but as he turned the corner, he overheard Monica's words.

What she said stopped him in his tracks. He didn't have the nerve to go any further, so he quietly turned around and walked out of the hospital.

Just then, a nurse came up to Monica. "Monica, your dad's awake." Monica immediately perked up and rushed off to the ICU to see Chase. Anastasia pulled out her phone and called Jason.

Jason was already in the elevator, hesitating as Anastasia's name lit up his screen. He knew exactly why she was calling, but he picked up anyway.

"Jason, did you really agree to break up with Monica? She was just upset, you know. She didn't mean it. You should go talk to her, try to make up," Anastasia said.
