Chapter 1004

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Jerry finally opened his eyes, only to see a haggard and red-eyed Jada.

“Oh, Jerry, you've come round!” Jada choked out, her voice hoarse from all the crying.

“I'm all right, Mom,” Jerry said, feeling somewhat heartbroken to see his mother in so much anguish. “By the way, why are you the only one here? Where's Dad? Did he not come along?”

Even though Jada had cried until she couldn't cry anymore, her face still contorted in a grimace of pain at the mention of Bridger.

Despite his initial shock, Jerry quickly regained his composure. “Don't worry, Mom. Dad will be fine. Trust me! I know Dad did hire someone to kill Natalie, but I jumped out to shield her during the attack. That's why I was the one who got hurt, not her.
