Chapter 159 Unlucky

Jennifer came to a stop.

His voice had grown hoarse from exhaustion. “Please, Jennifer. Just leave, will you? I don’t want to see you now.”

Jennifer’s heart sank as her hands balled into fists. She had done so much for this man, but he wouldn’t even look at her.

The blazing pain, like a sharp knife in her gut, brought tears to her eyes.

She looked up and forced back the tears.

“Carter, I know you don’t love me. However, you’re the first man I’ve ever loved. No matter what, I won’t give up. Your brain is muddled because you’re in pain. I won’t take your words to heart,” she declared. “I’ll go get the doctor now. If the doctor says you’re fine, I’ll leave at once. I think we both need some time alone.”

With that, she left his ward.

Shortly after, she returned with two doctors and a nurse hot on her heels. The doctors examined him and gave him an injection to relieve his pain. “Mr. Scott, you can’t be this agitated as you’ve just gone under surgery.”

Carter’s energy was drained, so he said nothing.

Jennifer was worried. “Dr. Ludwig, is he all right?”

Dr. Ludwig replied, “Mr. Scott is strong enough to recover soon. However, if he gets agitated frequently, it might slow down his recovery.”

Jennifer exhaled in relief.

After Dr. Ludwig and the rest left, Jennifer asked, “How do you feel now, Carter?”

In response, Carter shut his eyes.

Sighing, Jennifer continued, “Carter, I’m begging you here. Even if you hate me, shouldn’t you say something out of courtesy?”
