Chapter 391
Fortunately, Jay only had flesh wounds—the car was stopped in time, and the collision was slight.
He had bled a lot on the ground, but his vitals were fine. However, his doctor insisted he stay the night
at the hospital for observation.
Having issued his instructions, the doctor left, leaving just Jay and Zoe alone.
Zoe placed all the bills, papers and medication on top of his bedside drawer, saying, 'These are your
receipts for admittance, and some of the medicine you need to take and apply. Also, your phone's
broken."
Jay stared at her then, with a distant and estranged gaze.
"Do you want to borrow my phone to call the Levines?" Zoe asked, holding out her phone to him.

Zoe didn’t push him either, since he never liked to bother the Levines. After all, he had to keep up his
appearance to not cause them trouble.
"Do you need a care worker?" Zoe asked.
Jay refused. 'No. It's not that serious."
"Okay," Zoe nodded. "I'm leaving if there's nothing else."
But as she turned to leave, Jay called out, "Zoe."
Zoe turned towards him, and he told her, "You should get your palm checked."
When he pushed her away, she had dropped to the floor on her hands, leaving it reddish from contact
on the ground.
"I know,* she replied.
"Right now, you-’
Zoe's phone suddenly started to ring, and Jay quickly stopped himself.
Answering the call, Zoe then asked, "You're here already?"
Her lips curled up in a smile, and it was a stark contrast to how she behaved around Jay.
He averted his eyes, even as he listened to her talk over the phone.
After she hung up and put her phone away, she asked him, "What were you trying to say just now?"
"Nothing," Jay replied, shaking his head.
Zoe frowned slightly, so Jay said, "It's a little late. You should be careful on your way home."
"My boyfriend's coming to get me,” Zoe said bluntly.

Though Jay was obviously aware that she was with Bob now, there was still this burst of pain that
erupted on his chest when she mentioned ’ boyfriend'. It caught him off guard, and it hurt so much he
could not breathe.
Nonetheless, Jay smiled, "Okay."
Staring at his faint smile, Zoe asked, "It pleases you to know that I have a boyfriend huh?"
Still, she smiled too. "You finally rid yourself of a major headache.’
"Actually, I-’
"Don't worry, I'm doing better than you or I would imagine. Come to think of it now, all my stubbornness
before was not with it."
Zoe spoke ever so calmly, even though she was spilling her guts.
Jay listened in silence, but could still hear the contempt she had for him despite her calm tone.
And after she had her say, she left without looking back.
He watched as she went, his vision blurring in turn.
It was soon a month after Sam's birthday.
