Chapter 1957
Eden sat down on the stool in the public area. Then Neal treated her wounds.
Her skin was scratched by nails, and she had a a tingling sensation.
Eden kept frowning. Victor held her shoulders with both hands, and his heart ached severely.
"Neal, be gentle."
Neal was speechless. He had been as gentle as possible.
As soon as something bad happened to Eden, Victor would become anxious and unreasonable.
"It's okay, Victor."
"It's not okay! Look at the blood on your forehead." He didn't dare to touch the wound with his hand.
Neal treated the wounds soon. He looked up at Eden and asked, "Mrs. Alwynn, is there any other wound on your body?"
Eden shook her head slightly, "No. Anton, I'm sorry for letting you come here. I just have minor injuries. It doesn't matter. Victor is overcautious."
Neal smiled and glanced at Victor's unhappy face. When their eyes met, Victor looked calm, and he was not guilty at all.
He should be guilty, because Anton was really busy.
"It's okay. Even if I didn't come here, he would ask me to go to your house."
Victor ignored him and said softly, "Honey, let's go home."
"Alright!" Eden did not want to stay here, either.
"Eden."
Eden was surprised when she heard Lyric's voice.
Jasper pushed Lyric into the room.
"Jasper, Lyric, why are you here?"
Lyric said apologetically, "Eden, I'm sorry to let you experience such a thing. Ansley sent me a message, so I learned that you were beaten by her and her mother."
Jasper's face was extremely indifferent. His eyes turned gloomier and gloomier as he looked at Eden's injured face.
"Eden, why are you so silly?" Jasper's tone was full of distress.
Eden smiled and shook her head. Looking at his worried face, she said calmly, "It's all right, Jasper. When people are angry, they always want to lose their temper. I haven't had a fight for several years, right? That's why I suffered a loss."
Jasper smiled helplessly, "But you didn't often fight in the past few years, did you? Don't fight again, or we will worry about you."
"I see." Eden smiled with embarrassment. She once fought with others a few years ago, but Jasper didn't mention it.
She looked at Lyric, "I'm fine. You can go back."
Ansley and her mother would come out later, and they would quarrel at that time.
Lyric shook her head, "Eden, let's go to the hospital first."
Eden glanced at Anton, and Anton smiled helplessly. In ordinary times, he focused on treating the patients who were seriously ill.
There was no need for him to treat Eden's minor injuries in person.
However, he had to come here because of Victor.
A few years ago, he went aboard and studied for a year. After he came back, Lucian introduced him to work in the hospital owned by Alwynn Group. Victor was rich, and he could do a lot of research projects with his money.
As a doctor, he had his own dreams, and the research funds could realize his dreams.
It required a large amount of money to realize some of the dreams.
Therefore, he was willing to be on Victor's call.
"Lyric, Anton has had a check-up for me. I'm fine. I only have some superficial wounds, and I'll recover in a few days."
"Eden, I'm sorry!" Lyric felt so guilty. Ansley and her mother had gone too far.
"Lyric." Javon, Ansley and her mother walked out.
Ansley and her mother seemed to have been dealt a fatal blow. They looked listless.
Alwynn Group actually wanted to sue them.
They didn't expect things to become like this. They knew about laws, but they had been unreasonable for many years, so they thought that these rich people would rather solve the problem by money than come to the police station.
Ansley's mother had blackmailed the rich for many times, and it was the first time she had been taught a lesson.
Lyric glanced at her father, lowered her head and didn't say anything.
Javon knew that Lyric hated him all the time. He was not a good father. Then he glanced at Jasper. Since Lyric was injured, Jasper had been taking care of her.
He had been paying attention to them during this period of time.
Jasper's status was enviable. If Lyric could be with him, she would live a comfortable life, and she didn't have to live a bitter life like him.
Lyric's mother had been very capable. If they didn't divorce back then, they would have given Lyric a wonderful future.
However, regret was useless.
In the past few days, he studied the background of Jasper carefully. He was someone of a higher social position, and they were not equal in social status. Therefore, he could no longer burden Lyric.
"Mr. Joye, thank you for taking care of my daughter during this period of time." Ansley thanked Jasper sincerely.
No matter Jasper and Lyric were fated or not, as a president, he could find time to take care of Lyric, which was something great. Besides, Jasper was a person of excellent character.
"That's what I should do." Jasper replied casually.
Although he was perfunctory, Javon felt grateful.
After the farce, they went home separately.
Except for Ansley and her mother, everyone was in a good mood.
Jasper sent Lyric back.
As soon Lyric entered the house, she felt a little drowsy. Jasper knew that she would feel sleepy after taking the medicine.
He looked down at Lyric who tilted her head. Her hair was swept back in a ponytail and scattered on both of her shoulders, which made her look even cuter.
With a smile, Jasper bent down to pick her up and sent her back to her room to rest.
When he placed Lyric on the bed, Lyric suddenly felt that she had left his warm arms. Feeling a little reluctant, she stretched out her hand and grabbed Jasper's collar unconsciously. "It's so warm. Don't go." She whispered in her sleep with a faint smile on her face.
Jasper was about to stand up straight, and he was stunned. She was unconsciously dependent on him, which made him have a strange feeling.
Lyric moved a little restlessly. She wrapped her arms around Jasper's neck tightly and buried her head in his arms.
Jasper's collar was unbuttoned. Therefore, Lyric's lips happened to touch his skin.
Her red lips were slightly opened, and her breathing was hot. In an instant, Jasper felt that he had got an electric shock, and his neck was burning hot.
Jasper's mind was in a mess. As long as he lowered his head slightly, he could touch Lyric's lips. The fragrance of her body was very faint but extremely attractive. He did not dare to move. However, Lyric felt that it was not warm enough. She moved up a little bit and touched his lips by accident.
A hint of shock flashed across Jasper's eyes.
Her lips were soft and cool, like the smooth and sweet jelly. It seemed that he was not disgusted by it, but eager to taste it.
