Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson) novel Chapter 186

"Mrs. Matriarch woke up in the afternoon. Her condition is stable now, but she is still weak.”

 

She was also willing to care about Mrs. Matriarch, and Liam was at least gratified.

 

However, Wendy attempted suicide, and Emily seemed to have not mentioned a word about it.

 

She was determinedly cold towards Wendy.

 

Although Liam didn't like Wendy very much. After this accident, even if he didn't like her anymore, he could only respect Wendy.

 

The savior of Mrs. Matriarch was the most distinguished guest to the whole Jackson family!

 

What's more, she was still like this now.

 

"Mrs. Emily, Miss Wendy is in WongRiver Pavilion. Are you going to see her?"

 

"Is she dead?" Emily asked.

 

Liam was taken aback and sighed helplessly, “Mrs. Emily, she’s not joking. This time she committed suicide... really almost died.”

 

"Then I'll go see her.” Liam said it was not a joke, she also wanted to see if Wendy's acting skills had improved to a new level.

 

Unexpectedly, even Liam and Hunter couldn't see that she was pretending to commit suicide.

 

However, when she saw Wendy, Emily was still stunned.

 

She looked very pale and weak, as if she was about to die.

 

This was not acting. She really lost too much blood and almost died.

 

Peter said that when the maid found out that she had committed suicide, Wendy was already in shock.

 

If she was found a few minutes later, no one could save her.

 

Emily couldn't figure it out. She didn't understand.

 

Wendy really saved grandma and really suicided. Was this Wendy she knew?

 

"Did you think she was acting now?” The man standing at the door asked lightly.

 

Suddenly, Emily wanted to laugh.

 

Yes, she still felt that Wendy was acting, but this time, there was no flaw!

 

How could Wendy who was deliberately trying to steal a man from her, and finally arranged for a killer to kill her, became so vulnerable suddenly?

 

Was she not even afraid of death?

 

"Yes, I still think she's acting, and I don't have any sympathy for her.”

 

She turned her head to meet Hunter's gaze, firmly, even, stubbornly!

 

Hunter did not speak. He fixed on her.

 

And what caught her eye, except for his habitually cold eyes, was the wound on his forehead.

 

The time of a day seemed like a lifetime.

 

She even forgot a bit, how they spent last night.

 

“I'm going back to rest.” Emily walked past him.

 

Hunter didn't stop her, so she returned to her room smoothly.

 

And Hunter, still standing at the door of Wendy's ward. Maybe he was staring at the woman in a daze.

 

Locking herself in the bathroom, sitting under the warm water in the shower, Emily hugged her knees, and suddenly she felt a little bit sad and wanted to cry.

 

If she knew what the flaw was, even if there were all kinds of obstacles, she would definitely go to verify and expose!

 

But this time, she couldn't see anything wrong at all.

 

Everything seemed to be logical.

 

They all thought Wendy was kind. Now, even Hunter was beginning to pity Wendy, right?

 

She had never thought of being with Hunter, but she was not reconciled!

 

She was not reconciled to the person who had killed her in the previous life could get her wish and stay beside Hunter.

 

And she and that man... Oh, it really made people sad.

 

They vague affection had already flown away before she had figured out whether it really existed.

 

The water from the shower fell from the top of her head, drenching her completely.

 

The chilly feeling made her feel extremely cold.

 

Hunter was not in Wendy's ward at this time.

 

Not long after Emily left, he also left. However, there was one more guest in WongRiver Pavilion tonight.

 

After the servant brought the tea, Mr. Patriarch waved his hand, and all the servants in the hall withdrew immediately.

 

Mr. Patriarch had something to say to Mr. Hunter. Who dared to stay?

 

Even Liam left.

Hunter was holding the cup, his long finger lightly stroked the rim of the cup, but he didn't mean to drink.

 

This grandson was really outstanding.

 

Calm, wise, noble, like a prince, and like a king.

 

Even Mr. Patriarch appreciate Hunter a little.

 

Actually, Mr. Patriarch had almost never admired anyone in his life.

 

“How are you getting along with Emily?” he asked suddenly.

 

“Not bad.” Hunter's answer was casual, but no one knew whether it was true or not.

 

If it’s just not bad, then try to let her go back to the Gale family.”

 

Mr. Patriarch said directly, staring at Hunter's eyes. His gazes were sharp.

 

“Just give her compensation. Your grandma will not be too persistent now, she has a better candidate in her heart.”

 

"Did grandma tell you?” Hunter did not respond to his last words.

 

Raising his hand, Hunter drank all the tea in the cup.

 

The empty cup was squeezed in his palm. His movement was neat like controlling everything.

 

"From the moment she was willing to live with Wendy, you should be able to see that she prefers Wendy.”

 

Hunter did not refute Mr. Patriarch’s words.

 

Mr. Patriarch didn't know why Hunter's grandma liked Wendy, but Hunter knew.

 

Wendy was the granddaughter of Mrs. Matriarch. It was not fondness but responsibility.

 

"So, my marriage should be left to you to play around?” Hunter laughed, a little coldly.

 

Mr. Patriarch knew Hunter would definitely be disgusted when he talked about it.

 

However, he had his reason.

 

"Originally, didn't you agreed to engage to make her happy? Now, I let you be with Wendy and send Emily back just to make her happy.”

 

When Mr. Patriarch said these words, he was completely impersonal.

 

Of course, being personal was useless.

 

“What's more, now Wendy has become the Jackson family's benefactor. We must repay this favor.”

 

“Then let Manson be engaged to her and pay it off for a lifetime.”

 

Hunter put the cup on the table heavily, and there was a dull sound between the cup and the table.

 

Mr. Patriarch frowned. He was a little angry, "You have feelings for Emily, right?"

 

Hunter did not speak. There was no need to report his private life to him.

 

Mr. Patriarch's face turned gloomy and his gazes were cold, "You should know that feelings are of no value to the men in the Jackson family.”

 

"So, what is grandma to you?"

 

"Responsibility."

 

Hunter stopped talking. He understood Mr. Patriarch's character. Maybe, it was really just responsibility.

 

Mr. Patriarch had always been a responsible person, since it was a responsibility, he must guard her forever.

 

So now, the Mrs. Matriarch looked very happy. After all, she had a husband who cherished her.

 

But Hunter didn't want his life to be tied together because of responsibility.

 

“I will choose my marriage. It is my own business whether to marry Emily two years later.”

 

His attitude was very clear and firm.

 

"From now on, no one should expect to interfere with my freedom of marriage.”
