Then he turned to look at Harold and greeted him.
Harold nodded in response, without saying much.
Jenny replied, “I’m just having dinner with my friend.”
“Boyfriend?” Simon asked this on purpose because he wanted to see how Jenny reacted.
She shook her head quickly, “No, just normal friends.”
As Harold heard what she said, his face immediately turned gloomy. He lost his appetite and his eyes went cold.
Obviously, Jenny didn’t notice the change of his expression and was still chatting with Simon, “What about you? Why are you here?”
“Gathering with friends.” Simon was still focusing on her statement about normal friends. It wouldn’t matter if they were just normal friends.
“Why haven’t you come to school these days? I heard that you were injured. Is it true?” Simon still cared about her. People always felt a little close if they could meet people from their own country in a foreign land. Besides, he thought Jenny was a good person.
Jenny nodded. “Yeah, it’s a long story.”
Simon raised his wrist and glanced at the time. “I have something to do, so I need to go now. James lives at my house now. Come and have fun if you have time.”
“Okay.”
After the two saying goodbye to each other, Harold looked up and stared at her.
He had already felt unpleasant when she said that they were just normal friends. But he didn’t expect that the man was also James Yard’s friend. And they seemed to be good friends.
Thinking of this, his face couldn’t be gloomier. There was an aura of the coldness of him, which could even make people shiver.
When Jenny looked at him like this, she instantly lost interest and remained silent for a while.
Harold said in a deep voice, “You are close to James’s friends?”
Although it was in a questioning tone, anyone could understand the meaning.
James was a thorn in his heart. In the past, Harold doubted them and fought with James countless times.
Now she didn’t want to admit their relationship but actually promised to hang out with his friends.
With a snort, Harold threw the chopsticks directly on the table, getting angrier as he thought about it.
“We are classmates. He just happens to be a friend of James, so we greeted each other.”
Harold caught another point. She called James Yard without his last name, which seemed so close!
…
He thought that since he didn’t want to let go of her, he would try to treat her better.
Now it seemed that it was just his wishful thinking!
“It looks like you and he are really connected with each other.”
At the entrance of the hospital, James bluntly said that Jenny would never be with him again. Of course, only Harold thought it was blatant. Now it seemed that the two might be together.
It turned out that this was the reason why James came here by plane overnight and was still trying to prevent him from being alone with Jenny.
Jenny might have started dating James. All the things he wanted to do with Jenny was just his wishful thinking!
Jenny sneered when she noticed what he said was full of irony.
Had she not met Simon today, she would have almost believed that Harold had changed his mind and he had also changed his attitude towards her. It was really unnecessary for her to hesitate for so long before. It turned out that Harold was still the man that he used to be. He didn’t change at all!
Jenny didn’t want to explain anything, so she just turned away. It didn’t matter to her anymore.
What Harold couldn’t tolerate the most was to see her acting like she had been wronged.
Thinking of this, he sneered, “What? Did I disturb you and James getting back together for staying here for a few days?”
Jenny still said nothing.
“In that case, I won’t force you.” He stood up without any warmth in his eyes. “I will drive you to see him.”
Jenny frowned. “You…”
There was nowhere to vent her anger. And he was still being sarcastic.
Harold sneered, “Don’t you want to?”
Jenny felt that he was completely unreasonable. She stood up, took her bag, and walked out of the restaurant directly. She was heading to the hospital without looking back.
In fact, she didn’t know where she was. She planned to go out to calm herself down. When she was tired, she would take a taxi back to the hospital. As a result, Harold strode to catch up with her and grabbed her.
“Stop right there!”
Jenny looked back, eyes full of anger.
After seeing her like this, Harold was stunned and became furious.
What was this woman thinking? How could she just leave like that?
Did she forget how she was robbed and kidnapped?
Thinking of this, he shouted angrily, “Do you have a heart?”
“What about you? Do you have one?”
Jenny felt a suffocating pain in her chest. This man hurt her again and again before. She had already decided to let it go. They were just getting a little better but now immediately returned to what they were before.
Harold didn’t answer and stretched out his slender arm over her back, making a gesture to kiss her.
Jenny Andrews’s heart was pounding but she quickly stepped back and pushed him away.
“Harold, who do you think I am? Am I a doll that you want to coax when you’re happy and throw away when you want to abandon?”
It might be because the pain in her heart was so severe that even the wounds on her arms started to hurt. She was about to break down.
“Don’t you know what I’m thinking?”
“Do you know that you make me so scared when I see you like this? I’m flesh and blood. I don’t want to be controlled by others to do what I do! I loved you before, but I was wrong. Let’s just stop disturbing each other in the future, okay?
As she was about to finish what she said, she was almost begging. With tears rolling down her face, her arms also hurt so much.
She covered her injured arm with her other hand. Not knowing whether it was because of the pain or something else, her face was already pale.
“Go back with me.”
“Harold Quarrington, let me go. I fled to this unfamiliar place because of you! Why do you still come to disturb me?”
Hearing every word she said, Harold’s eyes became scarlet and he clenched his fists.
What did she just say?
She was wrong for loving him.
What did she mean by stoping disturbing each other? Who did she think she was giving orders to?
No one could ever order him to do anything, neither could Jenny.
Thinking of this, he strode forward again, trying to grasp her to ask what she meant by this.
Seeing that he moved, Jenny hurriedly backed up, accidentally treading on the rubble of the roadside, which made her almost fall backward.
A car raced from behind. It was too late for the driver to slam on the brakes even if the driver saw that someone was about to fall down.
Harold was shocked and ran over at an extremely fast speed, grabbing her by the arm and pulling her up.
At this very moment, the car raced past them, leaving a gust of cold wind.
Jenny was pale in a cold sweat. She unconsciously felt a cold shiver of fear.
They just experienced a life-and-death moment. The two still had lingering fears. If the car was faster or Harold moved slower, now Jenny would become a corpse crushed by a car!
Thinking of this, Jenny was terrified and felt her legs weaken.
The two of them got into Harold’s car in silence and said nothing along the way.
All the way to the hospital in silence, Jenny then said blandly, “You don’t need to stay with me in the hospital. The caregiver will take care of me.”
