Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Chapter 1321

"Fine, Brandon. Don't regret this!" Jayden snapped and hung up the phone.

Brandon set his phone down and walked out of his office.

When Jayden returned to the hospital ward, Michelle looked at him with anticipation. "Jayden, what did Brandon say? Did he agree to come?"

Meeting Michelle's hopeful gaze, Jayden pressed his lips together and lowered his eyes, unable to meet hers. "Michelle... Brandon's been really busy with work lately, so he doesn't have time to visit. But once he's less busy, he'll come see you

"You don't have to lie to me," Michelle cut him off, her gaze falling as she gave a self-deprecating smile. "He's not busy... He just doesn't want to come, does he?" "Michelle..." Jayden walked over to the bedside, wanting to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say.

"Jayden, can I have some time alone?" Michelle asked quietly.

Seeing the heartbreak on her face, Jayden felt a sharp pang of sadness. He also felt a growing sense of unfairness toward her.

She had been injured saving Brandon, yet ever since she'd been hospitalized, all he had done was send an assistant to pay the bills and deliver some supplements. He hadn't visited her once.

Even as a casual friend, he wouldn't be so cold, let alone after all the years they'd spent together.
