Chapter 39 I Can Make Them More Lively
Lyla was completely dumbfounded.
Yesterday she won big: she got Helena to promise to compensate 90 million, she got Helena to promise to work for Elias and Rebecca, she got Helena to promise to pay 2. 4 billion for her pension. How did it change all of a sudden?
“Why did the matter of Elias and Scarlet suddenly fester?”
“Elias likes money and I forced Helena to pay him back 90 million. Now he doesn’t want 90 million and wants to break up with Rebecca? And he even blames Rebecca: in the future, when he and Rebecca are together, it’s all Rebecca who harasses him? Is he crazy?”
Lyla couldn’t understand: Emily was no match for her, Helena was no match for her, and yet Elias had set her up?
Rebecca cried: “Mom, what am I going to do now? He dumped me. It was the Riley family who initiated the marriage. I’m not at fault for anything, so why should he just say break up?”
Then she said to Hugo: “Dad, what happened between him and Scarlet was not my fault, and it was equally not my fault that Scarlet wanted to save her reputation and get engaged to him. It’s not even my fault, so why is it that I’m the one who suffers?”
“Dad, Mum, if it was Helena, the Riley family would definitely not dare to bully her like this. I’m back from the countryside after all, they look down at me. Dad, Mum, I dragged the Yip family down, I shouldn’t have come back. If I hadn’t come back, Elias and Scarlet wouldn’t have happened like that, the Yip family wouldn’t have been withdrawn from the marriage and wouldn’t have been laughed at by outsiders.”
Hugo was furious and his forehead was bruised.
He could accept Elias’ promiscuity, but he could not accept the Riley family’s withdrawal from the marriage. Over the years, he had used a lot of the Riley family’s resources because of the union. If the marriage was publicly withdrawn, these resources would be lost: “The Riley family is too bullying, I’ll go to the Riley family to ask for an explanation.”
Lyla concurred, “Okay, you go to the Riley family, I’ll go to Helena. This matter started because of her, and she should be the one to set things right.”
Rebecca kept crying and crying, crying so much that she couldn’t stop. Suddenly …… her stomach churned and a strong feeling of nausea came over her. She could not hold it back and rushed to the bathroom, vomiting hard.
Lyla was stunned: What is going on ……?
…
Panyan Villa.
Helena lied on the bed, sleeping motionlessly.
She had five stitches in the back of her head and had been unconscious because of the loss of blood.
The bruises on her face were worse than the bruises on her head, and the swelling did not go down overnight after repeated smears of medicine and medication. Kicks abounded on her body. As a result of her injuries, she had been suffering from a fever that had turned from low to high and was now 38 degrees.
Jasper lost all his patience: “Matthew, did you pay for your medical license?” No swelling, no fever reduction, quack doctor!
Matthew rubbed his nose: “I could give her a strong medicine, but strong medicine hurts the body, there is no point. In the early hours of tomorrow morning if her swelling doesn’t go down and her fever doesn’t go down, I’ll give you my head as a ball to kick.”
Jasper looked at his watch: nearly ten hours to go!
He spent every second like a year, watching over the bedside and carefully holding her hand: [Helena, get well soon, it’s so lively outside. The Riley family is in the ascendancy. The Yip family has turned the world upside down. Elias announced that he and Rebecca had withdrawn and broken up in order to get engaged to Scarlet. Helena, get up quickly and watch the buzz, if you think it’s not buzzing enough, I can make them buzz even more.]
At 2am, Helena’s fever began to subside.
At 10am, the swelling on Helena’s face had gone down. She continued to sleep and could not be woken up by any screaming.
Jasper didn’t go to work, but stayed by the bedside, wanting to see Helena wake up before he could rest assured. He didn’t know what had happened to him, but in just a few days he had developed an obvious attachment to her, as if she had a rope tied around his heart, and was led by her wherever she was, only wanting to be with her.
“Matthew White!”
“I, she, she ……” Matthew was speechless, he was not a miracle doctor, but a doctor of medicine. He had a good idea of when this kind of injury would go down in swelling and when the fever would go down, and never thought that she would not wake up. Even if she had lost too much blood, she couldn’t have slept for so long. Had it hurt her brain? After repeating examination, no problem was detected: “Maybe she will up at night.”
One night.
Two nights.
For three nights in a row, Helena did not wake up.
The wounds were removed and Jasper continued to guard her, he was emotionally broken that he was on the verge of exploding like a trapped animal. His gaze was extremely fierce, and his hostility flowed frequently around his body, and the backs of his hands bulged with veins when he reached for something or answered the phone.
Matthew did not dare to mess with him and avoided him when he could.
Joey hoarded all kinds of information and didn’t dare to report it.
However …… just at that moment …… Spencer came to the Panyan Villa with his bodyguards!!!
He could not find Helena’s whereabouts, and Jasper did not go to work for a few days in a row, from which it could be deduced: Jasper had hidden Helena in the Panyan Villa for treatment.
He dashed into the living room.
Jasper’s bodyguards stopped at the entrance of the staircase.
Jasper stood at the top of the stairs, lazily leaning against the rail, smoking and seeing no one else.
“What kind of image do you have? No shaving, no combing of your hair, and are you wearing salty clothes?” Spencer stood downstairs, such a Jasper made him feel strange, no longer filial, no longer gentle, no longer well-dressed, messy and unkempt, hostile and murderous all around him.
Jasper was not surprised he was here.
When he moved the Doyle family, he knew that Helena’s matter could not be hidden.
He had planned to go home and told the story, but Helena’s inability to wake up had put him in an irritable mood. He didn’t want to report now, and he didn’t want to talk nonsense: “Grandpa, go back first, I’m annoyed at the moment.”
“Is that how you even talk to Grandpa now?”
“Or what?”
“Is there no longer room in your eyes for me?”
Jasper was annoyed and flicked his finger, the cigarette flew down from overhead and brushed past Spencer: “Grandpa, I have no problem with a marriage. From the age of 18 to 28, they were in love while I was waiting for her. I’ve waited for her for a whole decade, what more do you want? Mr. Bates’ grandson is the same age as me, he even had a son, and I’m still single, what more do you want from me?”
“……”
“Mr. Bates and I have made it very clear: bring Reeva over. If we want to honour the marriage contract, let’s all honour it together, why should I be pressured to do it alone? I don’t owe her, I don’t owe the Bates family, I don’t owe the Howard family.”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Spencer was shocked at his perversity, Helena had a great influence on him, “You’re going to turn against us for Helena?”
Jasper gave a smile and his eyes became scarlet, “If the Yip family hurts her, I’m not afraid to bring out the Doyle family. Grandpa, don’t force me, so far, I don’t know what I can do.”
“You’re threatening me?”
“Yes!”
“Shouldn’t a 28-year-old man put his career first?”
“How many sons do you have when you were 28?”
“Times are different.”
“Feelings are different based on eras?”
“You, you ……” Spencer was so angry with him that he poked the floor with his crane: “You haven’t even gotten your hands on the Howard family’s inheritance yet, and you’re coming to talk to me about the feelings? Are you worthy?”
Jasper snorted disdainfully: “Do you mean that I can’t leave the Howard Group? Or do you mean that I can’t afford to support my wife and children if I leave the Howard Group? Grandpa, you are also an experienced business elite, you should be able to see that the current situation is whether I can’t leave Howard Group or Howard Group can’t leave me?”
Spencer’s face turned sober: “Jasper, don’t go too far.”
Jasper lowered his head and lit his cigarette, “What can you do to me?”
Spencer gasped.
Jasper took a deep breath and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke: “Grandpa, my request is simple, leave alone Helena. She is my woman and I need her. If, you guys, are bent on striking her, I’m sorry, the Howard Group is not important to me, and my life is not important to me either.”
Turning upstairs, he ordered his bodyguard, “Take Grandpa home!”
When he walked into the bedroom, Helena was still sleeping. He squatted beside the bed and poked her face with his finger, his eyes became aggrieved, “I just had a fight with grandpa. It’s my first time arguing with grandpa. Grandpa is so fierce, I’m so scared. You must wake up to protect me. I need your protection. Wake up, wake up.”
