It was not as if he had the right to say anything about Jackson's decision when Jackson's parents had agreed with
him.

“This is your choice. Do whatever you think you have to do. I just hope you don't regret it,” said Shane indifferently.
“I won't because I know I'll only regret not going,” responded Jackson, shaking his head.
“When are you leaving?” inquired Shane as he continued to gaze at Jackson.
Jackson smiled and answered, “Three days later. I've already packed my things and submitted my resignation
letter.”
“Will you ever come back?” asked Shane because even though they were no longer close, they used to be good
friends.

When Jackson sensed that Shane's attitude toward him had changed, his smile grew wider. “Yes, I'll be back when
needed, but I won't stay long. I'll be traveling and helping others in the future until I'm old. Maybe then I'll return for
my retirement.”
“Okay,” responded Shane, nodding understandingly. “Where are you heading to first?”
Jackson shook his head. “I haven't decided yet. I'll do that when I get to the airport. Since I'm going to be a traveling
doctor, I don't need a plan for anywhere will do.”
“Suit yourself.” After nodding once again, Shane decided to stop asking Jackson questions.
Jackson then continued as he looked at Shane, “By the way, Shane, are you here for Justin?”
“Stanley's here, and he's probably wanting to cause some trouble. I'm here to prevent that.” Even though Shane
was not close with Justin, the man was Joyce's ex-boyfriend, and Joyce was Natalie's best friend. That alone was
enough reason for him to stop Stanley from bothering Justin.
“I see. Then let's go to Justin's ward together. It just so happens that I have to check his condition,” stated Jackson.
After Shane nodded in response, the two walked the same path Stanley took.
Meanwhile, Justin was sitting on the hospital bed with his back leaning against the headboard, slowly taking a sip
from the glass of water he held in one hand while tapping the keyboard of his laptop with the other.
Suddenly, the door to his room opened.
Justin thought it was the nurse making her rounds, so he did not move his gaze away from his laptop.
Looking at Justin, Stanley ridiculed, “It seems I didn't hurt you badly enough.”
When Justin heard Stanley's voice, he immediately stopped what he was doing and shifted his attention to the man
instead.
His face hardened as he watched Stanley approach him. “You?”
“It's me,” uttered Stanley, standing right before Justin.
“What are you doing here?” Justin set his glass of water on the bedside and shut his laptop before putting it away.

Of course, Justin did not think that he was outmatched in terms of status. What concerned him was how
unpredictable Stanley was.
Not only did Stanley force Joyce to have an abortion, but he also knew nothing about holding back when beating
others up. It was as though he did not care about the law at all.
Hence, Justin figured it would not be wise to offend Stanley directly. After all, nobody could tell what the crazy man
would do next.
“The reason I'm here is to find out where Joyce is,” answered Stanley with his eyes narrowed at Justin, whose eyes
instantly dimmed because of the response.
“I don't know,” stated Justin coldly.
“You don't know?” Stanley clenched his fists. “Do you actually think I'll believe that? Joyce is your girlfriend, and you
have a good relationship with her family. It's impossible that they'd leave without letting you know. You'd better tell
me where they are, or else—”
“Or else what?” interrupted Justin unceremoniously. “You only managed to beat me up last time because you
sucker-punched me. In case you don't know, you're no match for me in a fair fight. Anyhow, I'm afraid you'll have to
leave disappointed because I really have no idea where they went. They didn't tell me.”
