Chapter 60.Â
For no reason, it made people feel both restless and softhearted.Â
Harland frowned, not sure if Rhett had fallen into the toilet or something, since he hadn’t come back forÂ
so long.Â
Suddenly, something warm covered my hand, and a strange tingling crept up my arm.Â
Harland stiffened and his eyes darkened.Â
In the end, it seemed like helplessness, and also kind of like compromise.Â
HeÂ
got up and pulled the thin blanket over her, moving carefully and gently.Â
Jovana’s lashes, wet with tears, trembled a little.”Armando, I felt so awful…”Â
Armando?Â
Harland suddenly froze, his face changed, he threw off the thin blanket, and glanced at Jovana.Â
What a heartless person.Â
Jovana wokeÂ
up half an hour later, and the nurse just came to check.Â
“You’re awake?” The nurse helped her sit up.”Your boyfriend just left a little while ago. Do you want me to go get him?”Â
Boyfriend?Â
Jovana froze for a second, then quickly realized the person the nurse mentioned was probably Harland. She remembered it was Harland who brought her to the hospital…Â
He helped her again.Â
Jovana’s heart skipped a beat.Â
At that moment, the door to the hospital room was suddenly opened from the outside.Â
Armando rushed over, and you could clearly see the panic on his handsome face.Â
“Vana!”Â
He strode over to the bed, his eyes checking her body up and down. When he noticed the obvious slap mark on her face, his eyes instantly turned dark.Â
“Who hit you?”Â
Facing his touch, Jovana instinctively turned her head away. She looked at him with a complicated expression as he worried about her. A few scenes flashed through her mind… When she was being bullied, he was kissing Juliette on the street. When she almost got dragged into a car, he was being all sweet with Juliette, walking her home.Â
But now he just acted all affectionate.Â
Jovana felt really bitter inside, so ironic.Â

Facing Jovana’s avoidance, Armando’s heart ached and he felt really guilty. He shouldn’t have agreed to take Juliette home just because she said a few nice things that night. If he had stayed with Jovana, nothing would have happened to her.Â
I’ll stay withÂ
“I’m sorry, I’llÂ
“I was a bit tired.”Â
you every night from now on…” he said hoarsely.Â
Jovana cut him off coldly, turned her back and lay on the bed, her eyes staring off into the distance… Her mind was full of what had happened tonight.Â
Who set her up?Â
Finally, she thought of Harland…Â
An outsider helped her three or four times without expecting anything in return.Â
But her husband just stood by like a stranger.Â
Armando knew she must have blamed him in her heart, but he didn’t push her. He just stayed quietly byÂ
her side.Â
Halfway through, Normand brought some food.Â
Armando specifically told him to buy it at the restaurant Jovana used to go to.Â
Jovana turned him down really coldly, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to wash up…Â
Looking at her distant back, Armando pressed his brow in regret and let out a heavy sigh.Â
Jovana didn’t want to be in the same room with Armando, so she stayed in the bathroom for a while…Â
When I went out again, the room was empty.Â
Suddenly, the door of the ward was pushed open and slammed hard against the wall.Â
With a loud, forceful shout, “You’re Jovana, right?!”Â
Jovana got startled by the sudden noise, kept a cold face, frowned, and said, “Who are you? This is my hospital room, please leave, or I’ll call the nurse!”Â
The woman closed the door and walked toward her step by step. She raised her hand and slapped Jovana. Jovana was caught off guard.Â
“You had someone hurt my daughter, she’s still lying in a hospital bed! My daughter made a living with her looks, and you had someone hurt her face. How could you be so vicious!”Â
As soon as the words were spoken, it felt like everything around went quiet for a second.Â
Did my daughter rely on her looks to make a living?Â
Jovana probably guessed who this crazy woman was.Â
Jovana’s amber eyes looked cold. She raised her hand and touched her aching cheek, tucked her loose hair behind her ear, and stayed way too calm.Â
Erin thought Jovana was a pushover, like a quail, too scared to say a word, so she got a lot more confident.Â
She snorted coldly, pointed at her nose, “You really have no heart, your conscience was eaten by a dog!Â

You’re just jealous that my daughter is younger, prettier, and better than you… You envy he to hurt her!”
