Chapter 705
However, Lillian gradually calmed down. She stood there motionless, neither responding nor struggling, like a doll letting him vent.
She even kept her eyes open, silently and coldly watching him from such a close distance.
Jackson unexpectedly met her gaze, and for a moment, he froze, his eyes flashing with pain and panic.
In this kiss, he ultimately didn't taste the flavor he was expecting, only despair.
He suddenly let go of her and took a step back.
There was a fresh wound on his thin lips from where Lillian had just bitten him mercilessly, and blood was seeping out again.
Yet he raised his hand, wanting to wipe the mark off Lillian's lips.
But before his hand could touch her, Lillian wiped it off forcefully herself.
She looked at him, her eyes filled with cold mockery, "Mr. Frane, is this what you wanted after helping me so much? Just a kiss, or..."
Jackson felt her words were like a barbed knife, stabbing into his chest and then being yanked out, taking flesh and blood with it.
Regret flashed across his face, and he felt utterly defeated.
Before Lillian could say anything more humiliating, he raised his hand to cover her lips. "I'm sorry, it's my fault. Don't say things that hurt yourself."
Lillian didn't speak, took a step to the side, and opened the hospital room door.
Jackson knew she didn't want to see him at that moment. His thin lips moved, but he didn't say anything more and walked away.
Lillian closed the door, and the next second, her legs went weak, and she leaned against the door. She wasn't as calm as she appeared.
Jackson walked quickly towards the elevator.
Terry came out of the doctor's office and saw Jackson. He hurriedly said, "Mr. Frane, the doctor said the things I brought can be used when Max wakes up. Where are you going?"
Before Terry could finish, Jackson walked past him.
Terry was stunned and hurriedly followed.
Seeing Jackson walk to the elevator, Terry quickly pressed the button but couldn't help saying, "Mr. Frane, when Max wakes up, Mrs. Frane will definitely be very grateful to you. Shouldn't you stay in the room with her now? Is there an urgent matter at the company?"
The elevator door opened, and Jackson walked in.
Terry followed and saw the wound on Jackson's mouth.
This wound wasn't there just now. He hadn't been gone long. Had Jackson and Lillian already gotten this intense?
Terry was dumbfounded and excited, covering his mouth. "Did she forgive you?"
Jackson was already in a terrible mood, and at this moment, he wished he could seal Terry's incessantly talking mouth.
His face darkened, "Are you mocking me?"
Terry quickly shook his head, "How could I, I..."
Terry was genuinely happy and excited for Jackson, but even a fool could see that Jackson's face didn't look like they had reconciled, but more like they had fallen out again.
"Did you force yourself on her again?" Terry asked weakly, finding it hard to believe that the shrewd Jackson could do something so outrageous.
Wouldn't this wonderful situation and momentum be completely ruined?
Jackson knew he had done something stupid. He even knew he had fallen into Ambrose's trap.
Ambrose really had a good sense of timing. He probably knew Jackson was at the door and asked on purpose for him to hear.
Jackson shouldn't have been affected, but he couldn't control his emotions and did something that made Lillian angry and misunderstood. He was too impatient.
"Mr. Frane, you really shouldn't have, you..." Terry was still lamenting for Jackson.
The elevator door opened, and Jackson directly kicked the noisy Terry out.
The middle-aged man waiting for the elevator looked curiously at the stumbling Terry, then was scared by Jackson's livid face and cold aura inside the elevator, and didn't dare to step in.
The elevator door slowly closed and went down.
Terry rubbed his butt, awkwardly smiled at the middle-aged man, and was about to say something when a stern voice suddenly sounded behind him, "Terry? What are you doing here?"
Terry turned around and saw Martin and Solon Frane.
Jenny had been forced to kneel by Harry and his men. Although she didn't kneel for the full twelve hours, her legs were swollen.
The next day, she was carried to her room and had a high fever when she got home. Now she was hospitalized at Frane Hospital.
Martin had come to visit Jenny and had just apologized to Solon's family on behalf of Jackson.
Terry greeted politely, "Mr. Martin Frane, hello. I have a relative hospitalized here, so I came to visit. I was just about to leave."
Terry didn't mention Lillian or Jackson. He knew Martin and Lillian didn't have a good relationship, and since Daisy hadn't been brought home yet, Martin had strong opinions about it.
Terry was worried that if Martin knew Lillian was here, it would cause trouble.
Especially since Solon was also there. He was Jenny's father and had even more opinions about Lillian.
Martin nodded slightly.
Terry quickly said, "If you don't have any instructions, I'll be going now."
Martin waved his hand, and Terry left. Martin was also escorted into the elevator by Solon.
Solon returned to the ward and mentioned running into Terry to Chloe.
Chloe immediately got angry, "Terry came to the hospital to visit, and Jackson didn't even let him come to see Jenny. Jenny is hurt so badly, looks like he doesn't feel guilty at all. He's so ruthless and heartless."
Jenny, leaning on the bed, started crying again upon hearing this, "Jackson used to be so good to me. It's all Lillian's fault! Since she came, Jackson doesn't like me anymore!"
Jenny remembered when she was young, Jackson doted on her. If anyone bullied her, he would stand up for her.
At that time, she was the only young lady of the Frane Family, Jackson's only sister.
But then Lillian came, better at pretending to be pitiful and obedient. Not only did Jackson's heart lean towards her, but even her grandmother's heart was swayed by Lillian.
The more Jenny thought about it, the angrier she got, and the more her swollen legs hurt.
She angrily said, "Wait, isn't Terry always with Jackson? It's work hours now, how could he be here alone? I remember Lillian's brother, who was in a coma, has been staying at our family hospital. Could it be that bitch Lillian is here too?"
Chloe was reminded and stood up, "I'll go ask."
Chloe quickly confirmed that Jackson was indeed accompanying Lillian.
So, just as Lillian had fetched a basin of water to wipe Max's face, Chloe brought two servants to the door.
Seeing Chloe's hostile demeanor, Lillian put the towel back in the basin and picked it up, heading to the bathroom, saying calmly, "Chloe, let's talk outside."
She took a step to pour the water, worried about disturbing Max's rest.
But Chloe and the two servants blocked her way, and Chloe slapped the basin Lillian was holding.
With a loud crash, water spilled everywhere.
