James had never been so certain.Â
“Wanna bet?”Â
James did not answer directly. Instead, he said, “If Little Mr. Brooks knew what Miss had experienced all these years, he wouldn’t have said such things.”Â
The three of them waited together. Halfway through, Ava persuaded Mason to leave first, but he did not agree.Early in the morning.Â
The Chinese auntie called. Mason walked to the side and picked it up.Â
“Sir, Ms. Carter asked when you’d be back. She couldn’t sleep alone.”Â
The corridor was quiet and the wind was cold. After drying the blood on Mason’s sleeve, the blood turned dark red. “Didn’t Ethan accompany her?”Â
“Ms. Carter wants to wait for you. She said she’s not familiar with Mr. Walker.”Â
If it was a few days ago, Mason would not have considered going back because Evelyn’s face was similar to Olivia’s, but now, his heart was actually more inclined to Harper in the ward. However, after weighing the pros and cons, Ma- son still chose Evelyn. “Got it.”Â
Before leaving, Mason went to take a look again. Harper seemed to be awake, but he was not. James held her hand, The two of them were in the dark room. Their voices were like floating catkins that brushed past her ears. It was as if they had a lover confessing their feelings to each other.Â
She really wanted to break James’s hand.Â
Mason tugged at his tie. His gaze before he left was as sinister as it could be.Â
On the way back, Michael was driving in a thrilling manner. He was afraid that the car would bump and anger the an- cestor in the backseat. After all, no one could figure out what he was thinking.Â
In the past, he hated Harper and kept his distance from her. However, this time, after knowing that Harper had disap- peared for a week, he quickly sent people to find him. This was fine, but he even personally stepped into that dirty place to bring him out.Â
“Michael.”Â
Mason frowned. His pupils became darker and deeper. “Find a place to stay and bring Evelyn out.”Â
After following Mason for so many years, Michael understood him. This was considered gentle.Â

“Michael, what do you think James is?” Mason asked.Â
“He’s nothing in front of you.““He’s now the treasure in Harper’s eyes.” Mason tilted his head back. Dark shadows wrapped around his face, and a sigh escaped from his throat. “He cares more about me than he did back then.”Â
The room on the top floor was clean and comfortable. It was also expensive at the same price.Â
James knocked on the door and came in with a fresh bone soup in his hand. Harper sat up a little and looked anxious.Â
Can you transfer me to another ward? I don’t want to stay here.”Â
It cost more than a thousand yuan a day here, and some nursing fees were probably more than ten thousand yuan. How could she dare to continue staying here?Â
“Don’t you like this room?” James could be considered the embodiment of gentleness. In the past, James had only tak- en the trouble to pick her up by car. She was rejected by Mason. When she cried silently, James handed her a tissue and told her that she was fine.Â
‘Better than any other woman.‘Â
Harper bit her lip. “I want to go to a normal ward. “This place was too expensive.Â
It was not something she could bear.Â
“You’re seriously injured. It’s not good for you to recuperate downstairs.”Â
James comforted her softly. “Don’t worry about money.”Â
He was not Mason. He did not have a good background or family background. Mason was born into a financial fami- ly. The wealth accumulated by his ancestors could not be measured. There were so many families in Moridise, but very few were really on par with him.Â
Mason had the right to be arrogant, but James could also afford to take care of Harper. After feeding the bone soup, Harper saw the injury on James’s hand. “Did you hurt yourself the day you saved me?“James was stunned and did not tell the truth. “Yes.”Â
Standing at the door, Mason and Ethan watched silently. Harper tore open the band–aid and applied it to James’sÂ
wound.Â
“Looks like she really stumbled upon a good one.”Â
When Harper went missing, James was the first to find him. For her sake, he didn’t hesitate to offend the Gu family and the Jiang family. This kind of matter was originally best resolved by the few families in private. However, he called the police and reported Sophia and Isabella for restricting his personal freedom and beating.Â
In Mason’s opinion, such behavior was extremely stupid.Â
“When they come out, Harper will be even worse.“Ethan shrugged lightly. He did not care about these things. “Worse. Isn’t that exactly what you and I want?”Â
