Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 809

Meanwhile, June received a call from an unknown number while he was in his office. The person said, "Mr. Wick, we have injected Mrs. Larson with the hallucinogenic drug. She got bitten on her arms and legs while fighting the dog we sent her way and is currently recovering in a hospital. When will you be paying me the rest of the money?"

A wide grin formed on June's lips as he said, "I'll have someone transfer the money in a bit." "Thank you, Mr. Wick. I hope you will consider hiring me for similar jobs in the future as well. I promise to get them all done perfectly," said the person on the phone before hanging up.

Don't blame me for being so ruthless, Jennifer. I'm only doing this to make sure we're on the same side. You were starting to give up on your desire for revenge when that unappreciative b*stard started courting you, so I had to hurt your mom a little to get you back on track. I'm not about to forgive Oscar after everything he has done to me, and it'll take the two of us working together to defeat him," June mumbled to himself with a sneer.

He then grabbed his coat and headed over to the hospital, only to bump into Carter outside the ward.

"Hello, Mr. Scott. Why are you standing out here all by yourself? Did Jennifer kick you out? She sure is a stubborn one, huh? I told her I was fine with you two having a history together, and yet, she still insists on keeping her distance from you so I wouldn't get upset.

Tsk, tsk...” June said with a faint smile.

Carter clenched his fists and shot June a fierce glare, but he didn't lash out like June had expected him to.

The smile on June's face grew increasingly sarcastic when he saw that.

Wow! You have an impressive amount of self-control, Mr. Scott. I'm impressed! However, Jennifer is in love with me now. It's unfortunate, but you seem to have become a thing of the past."

That was the last straw for Carter.

Unable to hold his anger back any longer, he swung his fist at June as hard as he could. As their scuffle had caused quite a huge commotion, the security guards rushed over to break them up.

Jennifer's eyes lit up with rage when she came out of the ward and saw them both covered in bruises.

"What are you doing here, June?" she asked while trying her best to keep her anger suppressed.

June simply walked up to her and wrapped his arm around her waist. As Jennifer tried to struggle free, June whispered into her ear, "Carter is now under the impression that we're in a questionable relationship. Do you want him to see through our pretense?"

Jennifer stopped struggling after hearing that.

From Carter's perspective, the two of them looked like they were having an intimate conversation with each other.

Naturally, he didn't take too well to that.

Carter was about to say something when the head nurse came over and lectured them, "Need I remind you that this is a hospital? Ms. Larson, please tell your friends to stop their yelling and fighting! They're disturbing the other patients here!"

Jennifer nodded and said apologetically, "I'm terribly sorry about them. They were having a little argument earlier, but I promise it won't happen again!"

The head nurse nodded at her and walked off without saying anything further.

June tightened his grip on Jennifer's waist as he asked, "I heard your mother has gotten injured. How is she doing? Is she going to be okay?"

Jennifer felt really uncomfortable being held in his embrace, but she forced herself to put up with it anyway.

"She's fine. She just fell asleep a while ago, so you'd better not go visit her. I don't want you waking her up."

June then leaned in and gave her a loud smooch on the cheek, making things even more awkward as everyone in the corridor could hear it.
