Chapter 380 Chapter 380 Don't Worry "Eval" Jack's usually cold voice finally carried a hint of urgency. There were other noises as well, but I couldn't make them out. All I could feel was the excruciating pain in my hand. Someone was trying to pull Jack's hand away, but he refused, which hurteven more.

Slowly opening my eyes, I turned to look at Jack. He was pulling my hand, with two doctors trying to pull him away. Behind Jack stood Alisa, who looked both anxious and uncomfortable. Just then, Julian pushed the door open and walked in. He looked atand stated coldly, "Stop being tic. She's awake." Upon hearing that, Jack stopped struggling against the doctors before rushing to my bedside. For once, his usually stoic face showed sexcitement. Eva, Eva!"

"Mr. McLennan, right? Can you let go of her? Are you trying to crush her hand?" Only then did Jack notice how pale my hand was due to his grip, and he looked embarrassed. This was the first tI saw him like this. I wanted to tease him, but I couldn't get any words out. Julian and another doctor examined me. When they confirmed that I just needed tto recover slowly, Alisa breathed a sigh of relief. "You scaredto death, Eva. I thought I was going to end up all alone again," Alisa complained in tears.

However, Jack stood there stubbornly, still staring at me, In the end, Alisa couldn't hold it any longer and said, "Hey, let's go. She needs to rest. Don't think you can do anything to her just because you saved her.

Julian wrapped his arms around Alisa's waist, dragging her outside. "Give him 30 seconds to talk to her." When they were outside, Jack approachedand touched my forehead gently. He looked down at me. After what felt like ten seconds, he uttered, "Don't worry. I won't let the one who hurt you get away with it." He was punctual in my eyes, as it took him exactly 30 seconds to talk to me.

My spirits seemed to have lifted after I saw them. I could finally fall asleep.

During this period, I kept drifting in and out of sleep. Then, I realized what had happened to me. The thief had smashed my head with the vase from my doorway.
