Flirted Wrong, Married Right-Chapter 788: I Won’t

But at the moment, Evelyn Clayton wasn’t planning to discuss these things with Lin.

She just needed to wait for the right time, until she ventured into that abyss of uncertainty, only then would she send the person away.

Soon, a nurse came to knock on the ward door, and the two came out together.

Evelyn Clayton thanked the nurse and saw Lin out of the inpatient unit.

"I won’t see you home, just let me know when you arrive."

Watching Lin get into the taxi, Evelyn Clayton noted down the license plate number and turned to head back.

Just then, another car pulled over by the roadside.

Evelyn Clayton glanced casually, her eyes slightly pausing.

She instinctively stopped, staring at the black Mercedes-Maybach in front of her.

Not long after, the car door opened, and James Grant stepped down slowly.

Meeting each other’s gaze, neither spoke for a while.

Evelyn Clayton didn’t know what to say, while James Grant was tense.

Remembering how James Grant had been hospitalized some time ago due to alcohol allergy, Evelyn Clayton sighed lightly in her heart and refrained from saying anything sharp.

She spoke softly, "Is your health better now?"

James Grant’s Adam’s apple moved slightly, "Much better. Has Sharon been discharged too?"

"Yes, she was discharged earlier." Evelyn Clayton nodded slightly, "She’s much better too. She won’t be returning to Genesis Academy."

A hint of hesitation crossed James Grant’s face.

Evelyn Clayton saw it clearly and asked, "What’s wrong?"

James Grant didn’t speak for a long time, seeming somewhat disapproving.

Seeing James Grant’s expression, a faint dissatisfaction flashed through Evelyn Clayton’s heart.

Was James Grant thinking of involving himself in deciding Sharon’s schooling?

Evelyn Clayton’s expression grew colder, "This is a decision I’ve considered carefully and discussed with my family. If you have any thoughts, just keep them to yourself, no need to say them out loud, as I won’t adopt them."

James Grant quickly replied, "That’s not what I meant!"

Seeing Evelyn Clayton’s suspicious look, James Grant lowered his voice to explain, "I’ve secretly looked into Sharon’s situation. The principal who was dismissed has gone missing as of this morning, alongside Mr. He, the teacher. They’re nowhere to be found."

Evelyn Clayton’s pupils tightened slightly, "What?"

"Few people know about this, but I estimate it will explode soon. I don’t know the purpose of the person behind this yet, but I’m certain they are targeting you and the child."

James Grant paused as he spoke, took a deep breath, his voice somewhat hoarse, "During this period, I might always be around you, and I’ve arranged people to be around Sharon too. But don’t get me wrong! I just want to protect you all."

Looking at James Grant’s face, Evelyn Clayton was momentarily silent.

James Grant at this moment resembled an anxious and impulsive young man, fearing misunderstanding from the one he cares for, not daring to approach yet desperately wanting to.

But still, there’s a deep melancholy in his eyes, as if all the world’s sadness has merged into them, yet he endures it silently, savoring the bitter fruit himself.

After watching for a while, Evelyn Clayton withdrew her gaze somewhat hastily.

She felt an uncontrollable stirring in her heart, which made her extremely annoyed.

Just a gaze, a few words, how could she...

"Do as you please." Evelyn Clayton hardened her heart, "But I must warn you, if I ever find out you have any other intentions towards Sharon—"

"I won’t." James Grant abruptly interrupted, a hint of joy rising in his eyes, "Rest assured, I absolutely won’t!"
