Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 102 - 98: Teased by Him

Laura Quincy tilted her head to avoid him, but the more she evaded, the closer he got, always maintaining just the right amount of ambiguity.

"You... saw wrong!"

"Really?"

Jason Hawthorne suddenly exhaled lightly near her earlobe, causing her to shiver. She glared at him, "I’m going to sleep!"

The tone was firm, but with a hint of coquettishness.

"So sensitive."

Jason chuckled without caring, clearly in a good mood. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"If I did the same to you, you’d be sensitive too!"

Laura retorted defiantly.

Jason looked at her with a mischievous gaze, lips curling into a perfect arc, "Anytime, you’re welcome."

Ugh!

She was just using an example!

It’s not like she was really going to breathe into his ear...

Why does his understanding have to leap like that?

"You misunderstood."

"What did I misunderstand?"

"I didn’t mean that."

"I said: anytime, you’re welcome."

"Ugh..."

A flock of crows suddenly flew over Laura’s head: Caw, caw, caw...

It seems there’s no point in reasoning with The Demon King, he’s so much shrewder than she is, arguing with him is just making herself unhappy!

What a bother!

Feeling frustrated, she pulled the blanket over herself to sleep, "I’m tired."

Jason didn’t make things difficult for her anymore, "You sleep, I still have work to do."

Saying that, he went to the study next door.

After he left, Laura lay in bed, unable to sleep for a long time. How long would The Demon’s King’s affection last for her? Would there be a conclusion between them?

Sigh...

This is really a vexing question!

Although she was staying in a luxurious VIP suite, the next day Laura felt inconvenienced, not for anything else, but because colleagues from her company knew she was injured and kept calling to visit her...

If they saw her in such a lavish and luxurious hospital room, her rumored affair with Asher would be confirmed.

The thought of it made her deeply troubled!

Early in the morning, she complained to Jason, "I’d better go back to the hospital where Nina works! Many colleagues from the company are calling to come over, and I..."

Jason frowned, "I’ll have John arrange it."

Laura couldn’t help but add, "How will it be arranged? It’s hard for me to explain if people ask."

But Jason was unconcerned, "You don’t need to worry about that."

Laura didn’t speak, but in her heart, she was thinking: How could I not worry! You talk so casually, as if you’re not the one who has to explain it to others!

"Then let John transfer me to a general ward first!"

"Okay."

Almost as soon as she moved to a general ward, Crystal Langley, Quinn Chase, and Violet Whitman came together. Quinn was straightforward, saying whatever was on her mind.

"Laura, I heard from Crystal that you were at City General Hospital yesterday! How come you’re at Sunstone Hospital today; it’s the best private hospital in the city, the price is terrifying, and the people staying here are either rich or noble! What’s going on?"

She voiced what Crystal and Violet were thinking.

Laura had anticipated someone would ask, and with a calm smile, she said, "I’m also surprised; I ended up here for reasons unknown. Later I found out that the treatment here is better, and I think the company hopes I’ll recover quickly too!"

Her words were vague, making it impossible to discern any connection.

Crystal suddenly understood, "Oh... I get it! I heard the director of this hospital has close ties with the Hawthorne Family. Maybe getting treated here saves some expenses for the company due to those strong private connections!"

Violet went to the window and glanced at the outside environment, "This is my first time at this private hospital, and I’ve heard about the environment and medical resources being top-notch. Now it seems it’s well-deserved."

Quinn also said enviously, "Exactly! This place has been highly praised. If it’s our company’s designated hospital, that would be great!"

Violet gently adjusted the curtains, "You’re thinking too much! Not everyone can come here."

Her words seemed to carry deeper meaning...

Previously, a senior employee in the company’s finance department was diagnosed with gallstones, but no arrangements were made for him to come here; and when the deputy manager of the marketing department experienced a car accident that resulted in a leg fracture, no arrangements were made for him to come to Sunstone Hospital either.

Thinking of these, Violet’s lips curled into a barely noticeable mocking smile.

Since she stood with her back to everyone, no one saw it.

Jasper Hawthorne was bored in his office when suddenly, his girlfriend Serena Jennings called, "Do you know your ex-girlfriend is hospitalized?"

Jasper was startled, hospitalized?

Although curious, he restrained his emotions, "Why are you suddenly telling me this?"

Serena’s tone carried an indescribable nuance, "Don’t you want to know why she’s hospitalized?"

Jasper countered, "Have you been following her recently?"

Serena laughed, "Of course! It was your suggestion for me to keep an eye on her, so since you’re so concerned, I’m obviously going to lend a helping hand."

Jasper didn’t bother with the riddles anymore, "So, what did you find out?"

Serena got to the point, "Laura was injured during an outdoor training event organized by your company. Initially, I didn’t pay it much mind since it was a trivial matter. But, I just found out this morning she was suddenly transferred to Sunstone Hospital."

Jasper was also surprised, "Sunstone Hospital?"

Serena Jennings spoke with a hint of pride, "Right! You also feel something’s off? What kind of place is Sunstone Hospital? How can someone like Laura Quincy, a commoner, get in there? Plus, City General Hospital isn’t bad, why insist on transferring over?"

Jasper Hawthorne only focused on the outcome, "So, what conclusion have you drawn?"

Serena Jennings continued without answering, "The director of Sunstone Hospital is called John, right? It’s said he has a good relationship with your third uncle?"

Jasper Hawthorne pursed his lips, "Yeah."

Serena Jennings asked again, "So, what’s his background? Did he open such a luxurious private hospital in our city based on your third uncle’s connections?"

Jasper Hawthorne shook his head, "I’m not clear on the specifics. I heard his medical skills are top-notch, ranked globally, and he has won many prestigious awards."

Serena Jennings was thoughtful, "Oh! That impressive! He must have quite a background. I just wonder how he looks."

Jasper Hawthorne immediately felt discontent when he heard her interest in another man, "Serena Jennings, are you actually thinking about another man right in front of me?"

Serena Jennings giggled, "Oh! I didn’t realize you were so jealous? I was just saying. I’m not interested in doctors; I’m only interested in whether Laura and your third uncle have any special relationship."

"So, after all this, you haven’t come to any conclusion, just speculating."

"Do you think it’s easy to catch your third uncle’s weakness? But, even if we can’t find solid evidence, we can always fabricate."

"Fabricate?"

Jasper Hawthorne was astonished and suddenly curious about Serena Jennings’ plan.

Serena Jennings wore a smug look, "As long as we achieve our goal, the process doesn’t really matter."

Jasper Hawthorne became interested, "What do you plan to do?"

Serena Jennings deliberately kept it secret, "You’ll know when the time comes."

Then she hung up the phone.

Jasper Hawthorne was itching with curiosity but had to endure it.

He then thought of something and called Laura Quincy, only to find out she had already blacklisted him, no matter how he dialed, it wouldn’t connect...

Suddenly, an indescribable fury rose in his heart. Laura Quincy, don’t blame me for being rude!

Laura Quincy didn’t expect a chef to specially prepare a nutritious meal for her dinner.

More exaggeratedly, after dinner, a female therapist gave her a massage to loosen up her muscles, saying it would help her recover sooner...

In short, it was a complete five-star experience.

If she hadn’t refused, someone would have even bathed her...

Time ticked by slowly.

Laura Quincy, bored out of her mind, started watching a primetime drama, it was so dull!

She wondered what the Demon King was doing now?

Night gradually calmed.

The 59th floor exclusive area for the CEO of Aegis Group was still brightly lit.

Jason Hawthorne rubbed his temples and signed the last document.

Knock knock knock—

"Come in."

"BOSS, here’s your coffee."

Mason Cross brought in the freshly brewed coffee, he was the all-round assistant by Jason Hawthorne’s side, handling both work matters and BOSS’s personal life.

In short, he had to manage every field!

"Okay."

Jason Hawthorne didn’t lift his head and continued reading the document content.

Two minutes later, he realized Mason Cross hadn’t left and looked up, "Anything you want to say?"

"BOSS, you’re attending a business summit in Manhattan tomorrow."

"I know."

"Then I’ll go make the preparations."

"Okay, what time is it?"

"It’s 9 minutes to 10."

Jason Hawthorne frowned, thinking it was still early...

Then he got up, "Let’s go."

In the parking lot downstairs, the driver David opened the car door for the boss respectfully and asked, "To the airport?"

"Go to the hospital first."

With that, Jason Hawthorne leaned back in his seat to rest, his mind involuntarily conjuring up the little woman’s image.

She should be asleep by now, right?

David immediately understood which hospital the BOSS was referring to and drove over.

Ten minutes later.

Jason Hawthorne pushed open the door and silently walked in.

Laura Quincy was sleeping peacefully, the bright silver moonlight from outside gently blanketing her as if covering her with a sheer veil.

At this moment, she was like a sleeping beauty.

The coldness in Jason Hawthorne’s eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a rare warmth. He sat by the bed, gently caressing Laura Quincy’s serene cheek.

In her sleep, Laura Quincy muttered something, "The Demon King..."

Though her voice was soft, Jason Hawthorne vaguely heard what she was saying, and his face darkened instantly.

The Demon King?

Was she talking about him?

Considering this possibility, Jason Hawthorne felt a silent rage. If not for the fact that the little woman’s foot was injured, he would’ve loved to give her a good scolding!
