Chapter 1272


    Looking at that inevitable calm and confidence on Yasmine’s face, Bryson was a little bewildered.


    Six yearster, Yasmine indeed hadn’t changed a bit.


    Ms. Chloe was more and more like Yasmine as well.


    “So, what’s next?”


    Yasmine pondered for a moment and said, “First, give me the files of yourpany. Then…Chloe


    should also be making moves, and that chick from the Alonso family won’t be quiet either…”


    Bryson nodded, “So Yasmine, you mentioned yesterday that you’re nning to go to Y Country…


    are you thinking…”


    “If they behave, I wouldn’t want to.” Yasmine picked up where Bryson left off. “But I won’t let them


    use what doesn’t belong to them to pressure Chloe. If they live peacefully, everyone would be


    happy, wouldn’t that be nice?”


    But they just wouldn’t behave. Talking about making them kneel and apologize? Seriously, that was


    really audacious…


    Morning.”


    Azy, husky voice came from the staircase. The two turned their heads to see Winston, dressed in


    casual clothes,zilying down the stairs.


    Bryson’s face was instantly filled with irritation and helplessness. “What time do you think it is? Still


    saying morning?!”


    Winston, with one hand in his pocket, leaned on the sofa and nced around the living room,


    “Well… Isn’t Chloe not down yet?”


    “You cheeky kid, that’s Ms. Chloe…”


    “It’s okay, Bryson, you’re always so stiff, names are meant to be called, let the youngsters be,”


    Yasmineughed.


    “But really, why hasn’t Chloe gotten up yet? Nevermind, she might be tired from beating people up


    at the engagement party yesterday. Let’s have breakfast first.”


    However, it wasn’t until close to noon that Chloe rubbed her sleepy eyes and came downstairs from


    upstairs. Yasmine was in the living room looking at thepany documents Bryson had prepared.


    Seeing Chloe like this, she couldn’t help but frown. “Do you normally look this unkempt? Or do you


    feel like giving up on life now that Damon is not here?”


    Chloe, still in a daze, heard the voice and paused for a second. When her eyesnded on Yasmine,


    she was stunned for another two seconds before she finally came to her senses. She looked down


    at the cotton pajamas she was wearing. “What’s unkempt about me?”


    Mothers from other families would manage to hold back for a couple of days after their child came


    home before they started nitpicking. Why couldn’t she evenst 24 hours?


    “So you’re giving up on life?”


    “Not at all.”


    Yasmine lowered her eyes and continued looking at the documents in her hands, “Go eat.”


    “Okay…” Chloe sighed, now there was one more person to nag her.


    In the hospital, Damon’s eyelids just fluttered when a wailing voice sounded next to him.


    “Damon, Damon, you’re awake.”


    Damon furrowed his brows, even if he wasn’t awake, he’d have woken him up!


    Slowly opening his eyes, he saw a crowd surrounding his bed, staring at him, his face instantly


    darkened.


    “Get out!” A low growl, sessfully pulled at his wound, followed by a muffled groan.


    “Damon, don’t get agitated. Everyone is here to see you out of kindness…Damon, how do you feel?


    You shouldn’t be having a fever anymore, right?”


    Damon was getting annoyed by Nathan’s nagging, but then he of the fever Nathan mentioned. His


    eyes scanned the hospital room; except for a few friends, there was no one else.


    “Who was in my roomst night?”


    Nathan quickly said, “Me, me! Your brother, it was me.”


    Damon’s eyes suddenly turned to him, “You? Was it you all along?”


    Nathan looked a little guilty, “Ah…um…yes, it was me.”


    Damon’s already furrowed brows deepened even more. He looked down at the loose hospital gown


    on his body, his face darkened. But after a while, he let it go.


    Yes, indeed. Since he chose to hide it then he shouldn’t have expectations. Otherwise, if she knew


    he was hurt, given her temperament, she would probably cry like she did yesterday.


    He sat up on the bed, knowing that he was injured, but no one in the room tried to stop him.


    “Be careful with your wound.” Nathan simply reminded him.


    They understood. No one can stop Damon from doing what he wanted to do.


    Kane shook his head and muttered to himself, “That’s why many times I just can’t understand.


    Damon is so determined. Why does Wendy, who ims to have grown up with him, keep hassling


    him and not giving up, despite him repeatedly rejecting her?”


    Keep hassling…


    Seth, who was standing to the side, lowered his eyes, his expression unreadable. After a long


    silence, he said slowly, “Maybe she thinks that no one else can give him as much affection as she


    can.”


    Kane blinked, turned his head and looked at Seth as if he was seeing a ghost, “What? What did you


    say?!”


    Seth nced at him coldly, “You have a hearing problem?”


    Kane was speechless.


    “How’s Nate?” Damon’s voice rang out.


    “He got one more bullet than you still unconscious, should wake up by this afternoon at thetest.”


    Nathan dutifully conveyed the information, then added, “Speaking of which, I heard from the doctor


    that the ce where you got shot is different from where Nate got shot? Were you running a


    hundred–meter race with a sack on your back? Do you know your wound is torn so badly?”


    Damon looked at him coldly, “Shut up or get out.”


    Nathan obediently closed his mouth.


    “Where’s Chloe staying?”


    No one responded, all eyes in the room were on Nathan.


    Not getting a response, Damon looked up. Nathan was tightly pursing his lips, his big eyes staring


    at him. Damon’s forehead veins started to pulse, “I told you to stop nagging, not to stop talking!” The


    voice was very dominant.


    Nathan quickly said, “She’s at the Peck family’s vi in Stargaze Bay.”


    “The Peck family?”


    “Yes, the servant who has always been with Chloe’s mother.”


    “Okay.”


    Nathan sighed, “Damon, what about Chloe?”


    “She probably has a lot to chat about with her mom.”


    Everyone got the hint. Seemed like Damon really wasn’t nning on seeing Chloe any time soon.


    Elizabeth brought some homemade food over, and everyone took the chance to step out of the


    ward room. Nathan watched longingly as Elizabeth set a te of simple yet hearty food in front of


    his brother, his own stomach empty.


    He immediately pulled a face, “Mom, where’s mine?”


    Elizabeth shot him a look, “You think this is up your alley? Go home, your wife is fattening you up


    like a pig!”


    Nathan blinked, “Yulia is cooking for me at home?”N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    “If she cook for you, can it be called a meal? That’s called pig slop.”


    Nathan was left speechless.
