Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 251

Ashley noticed that Joseph and Jaden never seemed to get along. Seeing a chance to mend things,

she decided to ask Joseph to pick up Jaden at the airport.

However, Joseph, with his usual calm demeanor, seated with crossed legs. “What? Pick him up? He’s

not that important. I’m not going.”

Sighing. Ashley conceded, “Alright, then I’ll go.” She stood up, ready to leave.

Joseph, however, hastily got up and grabbed her. “Well, I can go. You stay here with Valentin, please.”

With a satisfied expression, Ashley patted his shoulder. “Good. That’s what I want.”

Joseph was speechless, feeling like he had fallen into a trap.

Joseph drove to the airport to fetch Jaden, while Ashley waited in the ward.

Glancing at the watch, she found it time to change the dressing on Valentin’s wound.

Ashley called the doctor. After the dressing change, the doctor reassured her. “The wound is recovering

well with no signs of inflammation. It seems you’ve been careful when cleaning it. The wound hasn’t

touched

water.”

Ashley nodded. “Yes.”

The doctor checked Valentin’s body and provided some instructions before leaving the room.

Seated beside the bed, Ashley held Valentin’s pale, bony hand. She sighed. gently, intertwining her

pinky with his, expressing tenderness and affection.

After about half an hour, Jaden hadn’t shown up at the ward, but the voices of him and Joseph arguing

in the corridor could be heard.

Luckily, they were in the hospital corridor, and with the entire eighth floor devoid of other patients, their

voices weren’t too loud.

Jaden entered the ward, finding Valentin lying unconscious on the bed.

His deep blue eyes widened in shock. “What’s going on?”

He now understood why Joseph brought him straight to the hospital from the airport without wasting a

second.

Thought he had some trick up his sleeve, worried he brought me here to steal my kidneys. Turns out,

there’s a real patient in the hospital, he thought.

Ashley briefly explained the incident with the falling chandelier.

Jaden, upon listening, immediately looked around nervously to check if Ashley was injured. ‘Good. She

seems all right,’ he thought.

Jaden then observed Valentin who was still unconscious. He commented in a casual tone. “This guy

really cares about you. He’d rather get hurt than see you suffer.”

Asshley was silent.

Joseph said, “Can’t you use another term? Like your husband or

something. Isn’t it much better than ‘this guy?”

Jidden coolly waved his hand. “Used to it. So when will he wake up? Did the doctor say anything?”

Ashbeshook her head. “The doctor can’t confirm.”

Furrowing his brows, Jaden acknowledged the severity of a heavy object hining had back of the head.

Seeing Ashley’s worried expression, he guessed that the most a part was her constant worry,
