With that, he stood up and left.
The two assistants followed behind and didn’t know how to persuade him anymore.
When he walked out of the clubhouse, James was angry and emphasized again, “Call Donald right now. He has always wanted
to sign a contract with us on this project. Why not we agree with him!?”
“Mr. Cook,” one of his assistants reminded him, “Yancey Group and Grande Group are deadly rivals. They have always been
competing with each other. Aren’t we afraid of offending Mr. Yancey if we do that?”
“It’s his own fault, as he didn’t come himself! Should we take the blame?” James said resolutely, “Just do that!” That’s just what
he wanted! He wouldn’t cooperate with anyone but the Grande Group!
“Okay.”
Since James gave the order, what else could he say?
They would sign the contract with Grande Group on the project sooner or later, now that he had made a decision.
When Michael returned to the company, he got down to business. Thinking of his task today, he called James and said sincerely,
“Mr. Cook, I’m very sorry for the delay today. Let’s...”
“Let’s talk about it later.” James on the other end of the phone said indifferently, “I’m signing a contract with Mr. Morrison, the
president of Grande Group. If you’re going to talk about this project, then forget it. If it is something else, we can talk later,
Michael.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone calmly while Michael’s eyes darkened as he heard the buzzing from the other end of the
phone.
The project was screwed up.
Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the president’s office, Michael was still regretting losing the project. But
soon he thought of the girl who was still unconscious in the hospital..
When the door of the emergency room opened, the doctor said to him, “Michael, Ms. Yeager’s injury is not very serious, but
there is a slight concussion. If not taken good care of, she may have sequelae and migraine in the future. So it is best to keep
her from a cold wind for nearly one month. As for excessive blood loss, she will be alright after a blood transfusion.”
“Doctor, when will she wake up?”
“It depends. She may wake up in two hours or tomorrow.”
Thinking of the conversation with the doctor outside the emergency room, Michael was a little absent-minded. He was worried
about her so much but he didn’t even have the chance to stay in the ward with her...
Michael had heard of this kind of love before-love but not own, humble and insignificant, which, unexpectedly, he had to
experience now.
He thought that he would forget her as soon as possible and only treat her as an ordinary friend.
In a VIP advanced care ward of the hospital, Violet had not yet woken up.
If it weren’t for her pale face and the thick gauze wrapped around her forehead, people would have thought she was just asleep.
Jack sat in a chair in front of the bed and slowly held her cold fingers. For the first time in his heart, he admitted that Violet was
the first person who could affect his thoughts.
Hearing that she was injured, he put aside all important things and rushed here as soon as possible.
He couldn’t do anything but stare at her like this. What mishaps she had suffered in her life!
Zephyr didn’t follow her all day long, but just while he went to the villa today, unfortunately, something like this happened.
Fortunately, Michael was there.
Michael...
At the thought of Michael, who had appeared in front of Violet when she fell in danger, Jack’s eyes flashed with a trace of
sadness.
No one knew how much time had gone by.
The fingers in Jack’s palm moved a bit. He looked at her and found that the eyelashes also trembled slightly. Was she going to
wake up?
He held his breath and became so happy that he forgot to let go of her hand.
The girl in the hospital bed opened her eyes. She saw a white ceiling and a faint smell of wormwood greeted her nose. She
blinked tiredly, remembering the scene before she fell into a coma, looking down and then seeing a familiar face.
They looked at each other while the time seemed to be still.
“You finally woke up!” He was delighted with a bright light in his eyes.
Her fingers moved again, and then her eyes fell on his hand, only to find that he was holding her hand.
He didn’t let go of her hand, nor did he hold it tightly. She just looked at him in a daze, and the atmosphere suddenly became a
little embarrassing.
In the huge ward, there was only him and her.
driver stepped on the brake of the black SUV, her body flew out, injuring her forehead and making her unconscious.
It was so thrilling at that moment, and that car speed was driving too fast. Now she still had a lingering fear when thinking back.
She looked at his face and raised her bloodless lips, saying, “What did you think then?”
Jack didn’t seem to understand what she meant.
“How dangerous! Aren’t you afraid of death?” Violet frowned and said, “If you miscalculated the exact distance and they failed to
brake in time, they would have smashed your car directly.” There was a trace of blame mixed with love in her tone, and these
two kinds of emotions were beyond that of being touched.
Jack froze for a moment, as his feeling became complicated.
He clenched her hand and changed the topic with concern, “Does your forehead still hurt? Do you feel uncomfortable? Can I call
a doctor?”Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
He was deliberately avoiding her question, and Violet couldn’t ask anymore. Seeing that he was intact, she felt more moved at
the moment.
“It doesn’t hurt. It just feels tight. Maybe the anesthetic has not been applied yet.” She asked, “Did I get any stitches?”
“Seven stitches,” Jack replied as Michael had told him.
As a girl, she had to worry about her future appearance with stitches on her face, so there was a trace of sadness on her face.
“I just called Dr. Gordon.” He said gently, “He has some specific medicine that can relieve your pain and help you recover as
soon as possible.”
Violet gently withdrew her fingers out of his palm and closed her eyes.
“If you don’t feel well, you can just sleep for a while. I will be with you.”
“Do you have many foes?” Violet asked with her eyes closed, “I almost died because of you this time.”
“Because of me?”
Violet thought it necessary to tell him that. “Yeah. They found the secret of your eyes and caught me for confirmation.”
He looked at her with his deep eyes and said, “Forget it. Michael will find it out.” As soon as Jack finished speaking, something
flashed through his eyes.
She opened her eyes gently and looked at him, saying, “Where are they? Did you fight with them? Did you get hurt?”
Jack smiled gently to hide his feelings. “No, I didn’t. Stop thinking about it, okay? I’ll deal with it. All you need now is to recover.”
“Aren’t you busy?” She asked, “Are you going to stay here all the time?”
“I’m not so busy.” His eyes were full of gentleness as he said, “Since you got injured because of me, how could I just sit and
watch?”
“But you almost lost your life for me.” Violet looked at him uneasily and innocently. “Grandpa will be sad to hear it, and I
don’t want to take the blame.”
Jack knew it was Michael who almost lost his life for her.
Therefore, he felt very uncomfortable after hearing her words.
