Chapter 764 Making a Will
"Why are you here?" She was undoubtedly touched.
"To take you to the airport. After you called me yesterday, I couldn't sleep and stayed up until dawn."
"I'm sorry for making you worry." Juniper was always afraid of causing trouble for others.
"Silly girl, I'm your boyfriend. Isn't it normal for me to worry about you? I really want to go back with you."
"No need, we can't both leave the company. I might be gone for quite a while. My assistant will help me with some work here."
"Don't worry about work. Leave it all to me. If you need anything after you go back, call me anytime, even in the middle of the night."
"Okay."
With this support, Juniper felt somewhat reassured.
"Thank you."
"Silly girl." Brice hugged her tightly. "Promise me you'll take good care of yourself."
"I will."
After a flight of over ten hours, Juniper walked out of the airport.
"Over here!" Ronnie, wearing a floral shirt and sunglasses, leaned against a conspicuous red Ferrari and waved at her.
"Oh my God, you look even more beautiful after three months, more and more womanly."
Juniper wasn't in the mood for jokes. "Take me to the hospital."
"Don't be too nervous. Your dad is out of danger now and is just in the recovery phase. From what I know, his recovery is going well."
Hearing this, Juniper felt a bit more at ease. She had been anxious and sleepless for the entire flight.
"How are you doing now? Still single? Considering how beautiful you are, should I give you another chance to chase after you?"
"Don't make such boring jokes. Besides, I already have a boyfriend."
"What? You have a boyfriend? Which jerk? I'll take him out. Oh my God, the woman I couldn't get was taken by him. It can't be..."
"It's not him. He's almost getting married. Don't overthink it."
"That's more like it. But who is it? Is he richer and more handsome than me? Some kind of prince?"
"A colleague."
"Richer than me?"
"I never asked about that. I don't care."
"So what do you see in him? You didn't just pick someone to play around with, did you?"
Juniper sneered. "Do you think I'm like you? I never play with feelings. I'm serious."
"So what does he have that I don't?"
"He's more sincere and not a player."
"Juniper, you're too naive. Let me tell you, those men who swear they'll love you forever are the biggest liars, the most disgusting."
"He never said such things. We started as friends, and I trust him a lot. You don't even know him, and you're badmouthing him."
"Aren't I just being jealous?" Ronnie said, but he wasn't really jealous. He felt a bit unbalanced, but it wasn't about love. He had really moved on; he was just being cheeky.
He added, "I'm afraid you'll be deceived."
"I'm just glad I'm not the one deceiving people. How could I be deceived by a man? If I were that naive, wouldn't you have deceived me long ago? I'm good at judging people. He's a reliable and down-to-earth person. His family background should be decent, but that's not important. What's important is that he's a good person."
"Why does it sound like there's no passion, more like finding someone suitable to settle down with?"
Juniper was slightly stunned. It seemed to be true.
From the beginning, she felt a sense of security and reliability with Brice, unlike the complicated love she had with Anthony.
But the fact proved that such intense, life-and-death feelings were not suitable for her. What she wanted was this kind of plain and genuine warmth.
You gain some, you lose some. Between passion and security, she chose the latter.
"Why are you so nosy?"
"Isn't it because I care about you? Men understand men best. Tell me about him, and I'll help you figure out if he's a good guy or a jerk."
"I'm not in the mood to talk about relationships right now. Can you drive faster?"
"Alright, hold on tight!" Ronnie stepped on the gas, speeding away.
At the hospital, in the VIP room.
Aaron had bandages wrapped around his head and injuries on his body. Elara was feeding him porridge.
"Honey, shouldn't we talk about the will..."
"The will, the will! You keep talking about the will. Am I dying? Or are you hoping I die soon?"
"That's not what I mean. I'm just worried... Look, this car accident happened suddenly. Natural and man-made disasters are unpredictable. It's better to have the will ready."
"Dad, Mom is just concerned about you." Saffron said weakly.
She was already four months pregnant, her belly showing. Because Elara fed her all kinds of nutritious food every day, she had gained a lot of weight, and her face looked swollen.
"Concerned about me? You care about the money!" Aaron, though injured, was still clear-headed.
"That's not fair. But the money will eventually go to us. The main thing is how to handle the Cooper Group..." Elara's eyes were full of scheming.
"I've told you before, don't even think about the Cooper Group. It's for Juniper. You have no share!"
"Why? She's also your daughter. Why doesn't Saffron get a share?"
"The Cooper Group was her mother's business. What does it have to do with you?"
"Can you stop saying that? The Cooper Group is now dozens of times bigger than before. It used to be worth just a hundred million dollars. At most, give that money to Juniper." Elara said painfully.
"Foolish. Without that initial hundred million dollars, would there be the Cooper Group today?"
"You can't calculate it that way. So the entire Cooper Group belongs to Juniper?"
"Exactly! And if the Cooper Group falls into your hands, it will be ruined sooner or later! Last time, your distant relative embezzled millions of dollars from the company. I haven't settled that with you yet."
"That was two months ago. Why bring it up again? Wasn't I doing it for the good of the Cooper Group? That guy used to be honest and decent. He must have been instigated. Young people make mistakes. Besides, didn't I scold him harshly?"
"What's the use of scolding him? If you hadn't begged me on your knees, I would have put him in jail!"
"Let's not talk about that." Elara quickly tried to change the subject. "Look, who has been taking care of you every day since your car accident? Where's your precious daughter? Has she visited you even once? I called her, and what did she say? She said she was busy and had no time."
"I begged her to video call you, and she refused. Does she have any conscience? She's just an ungrateful wretch!"
"And you still want to give the Cooper Group to her? How unfair is that to us? When you were in trouble, it was us who took care of you."
Elara rambled on.
"Did you really contact Juniper?" Aaron had always been suspicious, but Elara said he had a concussion and couldn't use electronic devices, so she never let him use the phone.
