Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 474 Why Do I Sense Hostility

"I'm all right." Henry shook his head and gave a sigh. He looked at Jean and asked,"Take me to visit

your mother tomorrow..."

Henry didn't finish his words but they all understood what he wanted to say.

Jean was surprised to see Henry's serious and firm look. She stood dazed for a second and then

slowly nodded her head. "Okay." Jean couldn't help but agree to Henry's request.

Zed took a look at Henry and Jean only to realize that Jean was as stubborn as Henry. 'Maybe that's

what we call gene, ' he thought.

"You can go home now! It's too late and I need to have some rest," Henry said trying to look annoyed.

He moved his face away from them and closed his eyes.

Jean didn't know why she felt a little sad seeing his reaction.

She couldn't help but take a look at Henry before she headed out.

After closing the door quietly, Zed caught up with Jean. In a concerned voice, he asked,"Are you feeling

sorry for him?"

"No. I did what I needed to do. He's supposed to apologize to my mother and admit his fault," Jean

replied, denying any feelings for Henry.

"But he didn't do it on purpose," Zed retorted back. Thinking more, Zed added,"He was fooled by Joy.

And he didn't expect that Joy would set it all up. Jean, you yourself watched him faint as he heard the

truth. It indeed was a heavy strike for him.

He has suffered more than you know. Even if Joy had fooled him for so long, he must care about Joy

as they kept each other company for such a long time. He's supposed to look after Joy even if he

doesn't love her. Now he finally gets to know the real Joy. This must've been hard for him. He has lost

Winner and Shirley earlier and now he learnt the bloody truth of the past. Besides, Joy is going to

leave. Henry is actually the most pathetic person right now."

"Zed, are you speaking for him?" Jean got angry as she heard what Zed just said.

"Jean, even if you hate him, did you notice that his hair has turned white already? He has suffered

much recently. It's true that he deserved all of this for misunderstanding your mother. But..."

Zed didn't manage to finish his words as Jean interrupted him.

"Stop it. Even if you speak for Henry, I won't forgive him. And I won't stop him from visiting my mother

and apologizing to her in person,"

Jean said in an excited voice.

"He surely needs to apologize since he wronged your mother. He's supposed to apologize for what he

did," Zed replied in a hurry. "But, he's your father after all. Though you haven't received any warmth

from him, you still spent a majority of your life with him. Jean, stop hating him! Let him go! He's already

the most pathetic person in the world and you don't have to make it worse for him."

Zed tried his best to soothe Jean as he didn't want Jean to live with hatred for her father.

"No, I won't forgive him." Jean was firm on this and she added,"So please don't speak for him any

more. It's useless as you are only wasting your energy."

Jean left Zed behind as soon as her words were dropped.

Frozen in place, Zed looked at Jean's back and couldn't help but shake his head. Knowing she wouldn't

listen to him, he gave a disappointed sigh.

He was not a soft-hearted person but he truly wanted Jean to forgive Henry. Deep down, he was

positive that this hatred Jean carried with her would damage her life. She couldn't truly be happy with a

grudge against her own father.

As for Henry, Zed knew he was indeed pathetic.

It wouldn't be an easy night for Henry tonight.

His family broke up totally after this secret was revealed.

This revelation must have shattered his heart. 'How is he going to survive this since he is already a

patient in pain?'

Now Zed only hoped that Henry would not die because of this trauma. He also didn't want Jean to

regret it later.

Something about Jean's reaction made him feel that she still cared for Henry. Zed was affirmative that

she would melt sooner or later.

Thinking of that, Zed made up his mind to keep persuading Jean to forgive Henry.

With muddled mind, Jean ran to Moore's ward directly as she didn't want to listen to Zed's advice any

more.

What she feared the most was that she might actually forgive Henry if she listened to his words.

'No, that is not going to happen, ' Jean told herself.

Taking a deep breath, Jean cleared her mind before she walked into Moore's ward.

"Moore, are you done yet?"

Jean asked but the second she entered, she noticed a charming woman in the ward. Jean stood dazed

for a second.

"Who are you?"

Jean felt uneasy instantly and put forth her question.

Jean could tell that the woman was a little aged. But she looked quite young because she took good

care of her body and face. It was easy to confuse the woman as a young lady since she was slim and

wore delicate makeup.

However, Jean figured out who the woman was very quickly but she still wanted to hear the answer

from the woman.

Seeing Jean come in, the woman was surprised and then turned to Moore. It seemed as if she was

thinking about something.

Moore was delighted to see Jean show up. Noticing the woman didn't plan to answer Jean, he decided

to talk. "Jean, I'll be all right soon." This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

"Okay." Jean nodded her head at once and then gave the woman an analyzing look. Jean asked Moore

on purpose,"Moore, is that your friend? Why won't you introduce us to each other?"

Moore put on a bitter smile and said with sarcasm in his voice,"You think I am friends with the famous

Edna Huang? I'm not good enough to be her friend."

Although Jean had figured out who the woman was, she still got surprised when she heard it from

Moore.

Edna was observing Jean in the meantime. When she saw Jean was surprised at hearing Moore's

words, Edna felt delighted at once and reached out her hand for Jean. "Nice to meet you. I'm Edna

Huang."

Jean looked at the white and fine hand of the woman and decided not to take it. Instead, Jean asked

impolitely,"What are you looking for?"

"Why do I sense hostility?" Edna asked as she heard Jean's impolite tone.

"Why do I have to be polite to you? Since you are here in the hospital, you must have known what your

son has done, right? Do you still think there's any reason that I should be polite to you? I am lucky that

I didn't die because your son could have easily killed me," Jean said with anger flaring out of her eyes.

"Jean..." Zed interrupted Jean at once when he arrived at the door and heard what Jean had just said.

They were suspicious of Hanley but they still had no evidence yet hence Zed didn't want Jean to take

any rash action.

At the moment, Zed was worried as he was not willing to see Jean put herself in danger.

Zed was aware that Jean had the tendency of acting without thinking.

Moreover, Jean was in a sour mood today and wouldn't mind taking her anger on Edna who happened

to show up at the moment.

On the other hand, Moore got anxious as well and then turned to Jean with a pleading look.

'What's wrong with Jean?

Why is she so angry?

She is aware that Edna has a powerful background. Why is she trying to offend Edna so saucily?

What is going on with Jean?' Moore's mind was jumbled with questions.

Moore couldn't help but think silently as he looked at Jean's angry face. Slowly, he turned to Zed.

'Jean left with Zed but now she is back looking annoyed. They don't seem happy at all.

Did anything happen between them?' He wondered.
