Chapter 1696 Get In Touch With You
“Mr. Quinn.” Joyce gripped the hospital bed rail with both hands, pleadingly looking at him.
“You must help Mr. Thompson and not let him get hurt or... After all, Mr. Thompson is Nat's
husband. Nat will be in so much pain if something happens to Mr. Thompson.”
Seeing her speak for Shane, Stanley pursed his thin lips, feeling quite displeased. “I will do
my best to help Shane, but what about me?”
“You?” Joyce blinked, clearly not really understanding what he meant.
Stanley's face darkened slightly. “That's right, me. The duel between those two people is
definitely a matter of life and death, extremely dangerous. If I go there, I'll naturally be on
Shane's side. Do you think Sean would spare anyone on Shane's side? I'm afraid not. Sean
would definitely target me as well, and with my injuries not yet healed, joining the battle
between them could be disastrous. What if I get hurt or die there? Joyce, won't you worry
about me? Won't you pray for my safe return?”
Joyce's mouth opened slightly. “I...”
Stanley's face grew increasingly gloomy. “Go on, why don't you say it? Don't you expect
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmy return?”
“No, no, no.” Joyce hurriedly waved her hands and shook her head. “That's not what I
meant. I just... It's just that we don't have much of a connection, so I don't have the
position to pray for your comeback. That's why I...”
Stanley's face looked much better. “So that's why you don't know how to answer, right?”
“Mr. Quinn.” Joyce gripped the hospital bed rail with both hands, pleadingly looking at him.
“You must help Mr. Thompson and not let him get hurt or... After all, Mr. Thompson is Nat's
husband. Nat will be in so much pain if something happens to Mr. Thompson.”
Joyce nodded. “Sort of.”
That was just one of the reasons. Another reason was that she, indeed, did not want him
to come back. Of course, she did not hope he would die in the duel between Shane and
Sean, but rather that she hoped he would never return after leaving that place.
But she obviously could not tell him about that. If she told him, the man would definitely
get angry.
However, Joyce did not realize that her thoughts were all written on her face.
Stanley could clearly see what she was thinking and expecting at that moment.
But as long as she did not wish for his death over there, he could accept everything else.
After all, she was so repelled at him at the moment. It was not bad that things were like
that.
“By the way, Dr. Quinn, when are you leaving?” Joyce asked, looking at Stanley.
Stanley looked into her shining eyes and fell silent for a moment.
It seemed that she really was eager for him to leave the place. Upon hearing that he
would leave temporarily, her mood visibly improved, and her facial expression became
much more lively.
Haha, women!
“It'll be soon, probably in a few days.” Stanley looked at her coldly and replied in a deep
and heavy voice.
Joyce shrank her neck, sighing in her heart.
No way, could he have noticed that I really wanted him to leave? No, that's impossible.
I've concealed it so well, so he shouldn't be able to see through it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith that thought in mind, Joyce became calm again and nodded composedly. “I see.”
Stanley nodded. “I'll come back right away as soon as I resolve my own matters.”
Joyce's body stiffened.
Come back right away? No way, I don't want him to come back at all.
But she didn't have the guts to say such thoughts out loud, even though she dared to
think them.
Joyce scratched her head, feeling bitter inside, but she had to maintain a calm expression
as she replied, “All right, I got it.”
Stanley could see how unwilling she was to answer. He pursed his thin lips but ultimately
did not say anything.
It was natural for her to act that way based on their current relationship.
“After I leave, I'll get in touch with you,” Stanley suddenly said as he stood up.
Joyce widened her eyes. “Get in touch with me?”
Why should he contact me?
Stanley nodded slightly. “That's right. To prevent you and your family from secretly
escaping after I leave, I will contact you every day to track your location. If I can't reach
you, I will immediately rush back and won't help Shane, leaving him to die there.”
