Chapter 263
“The reason I became friends with you is because I like you as a person, not because of your family background.”
When Jason heard the word “friend” in her mouth, Jason’s heart turned cold.
What he wanted was, in the end, just his own desire.
“Fia, this friend of yours won’t disappoint you.”
“I believe you! You’re a very good person!” Fia cracked a smile. “A very good big brother.”
Jason’s eyes shifted for a while and nodded. “Rest well, then. You can’t stay here for long. I’ll visit your again tomorrow.”
“Sure.”
After Jason left, he looked at the officer that was on duty and told him that Fia hadn’t eaten.
Just then, Priscilla came back, her takeaway from the restaurant in hand. When she heard them talking,
she ran over.
“I’m so sorry, sir. I’ll bring the food over now. I got caught in a bad traffic jam.”
A shadow hung over Jason’s handsome face.
“Are you the one watching over Fia?”
“Yes.” Priscilla looked at Jason timidly. He was tall and handsome, no worse than Conrad Maxwell.
She wondered just how lucky she was! She was already married yet such a good man was waiting for her!
“If I notice that she hasn’t eaten again when I come tomorrow, I’ll lodge a complaint!”
Priscilla frowned and said, “You can’t just accuse me like that.”
The officer on duty also tried to help her. “There must be a misunderstanding, right? Officer Manning is known to be just, brave, and kind in our station. She wouldn’t mistreat a suspect like that.”
“Don’t waste my time!” Jason turned away and left, and didn’t want to waste any more of his time.
Priscilla gritted her teeth before purposely telling her colleague on duty loudly to bring the dinner to Fia and ran up to Jason.
“Excuse me, but are you Gryphonheart Hospital’s assistant director?”
Jason was stunned. No one knew about this other thah the director himself.
Priscilla was sure about it when she saw his stunned expression after she reached him.
“My dad told me about you, so that’s how I know about it. I’m sorry for telling you. All I want you to know is that I’m not like what you think.”
Jason didn’t say anything as his expression remained cold.
Priscilla looked at Jason’s handsome face and could feel her heart beating quickly.
“Seeing that your dad knows my dad, I’ll take good care of Mrs. Maxwell.”
“I don’t need you to take special care of her. I’m just hoping that you won’t start anything.” Jason’s eyes looked at Priscilla’s tag. “Officer Manning… Since you’re related to Esme, you should be an example. If
anything were to happen to Fia, I can suspect that you’re behind them all!”
Priscilla looked at Jason In shock and was impressed by his observation.
Jason gave Priscilla a cold look before getting back into his car. He shot past Priscilla as he drove away, leaving her with nothing but dust. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Cough! Priscilla fanned the smoke from her face as she looked at Jason passionately.
She mumbled to herself with a charmed expression on her face. “So handsome… So bright… He’s more. attractive than Conrad…”
Compared to the cold and distant Conrad Maxwell, she liked someone like Jason Evans better.
When she got back to the station, she played with the security camera in Fia’s room before going in.
She looked at the takeaway on the table that her colleague had left. “Why aren’t you eating?”
“I’ve already eaten.” Fia lay on the bed by the side. When she heard Priscilla’s voice, she didn’t even want to look at her.
“That hospital assistant director sent you food?”
Η
Was she talking about Jason?
When did he become the hospital assistant director of Gryphonheart Hospital?
“Let’s make a trade, Fia.”
She suddenly didn’t want to say anything.
Just why were all the people from the Manning household like that?
“If you can promise me one small thing, I can take better care of you when you’re here. I’ll even find your audio record for you.”
When Fia didn’t say anything, Priscilla walked over to her bed and placed her hand on her shoulder.
“What do you think?”
“Nothing.” Fia moved Priscilla’s hand away. “You should just work on keeping the things that your uncle promised you.”
