Upon maching the entrance, Evelyn sat on the stone steps to rest for a moment.
Nick had said that the expert’s date of retum was uncertain. Moreover, it would not be easy to get an appointment if they were truly that penowned in the field. If she had some way of contacting them directly, she could munybe fight for more time.
Evelyn looked up
Jason approached, studying her expression as he drew near. She still looked pale. It reminded him of the last time he brought her to the hospital.
“Feeling unwell again?” he asked, his lips pressed together.
Evelyn was momentarily dazed. “No,” she replied, shaking her head.
Realizing how terse she sounded, she added cooly, “What brings you here?
Jason lifted the bag in his hand, “I came to pick up Fiona’s astuna medication.”
Evelyn suddenly remembered that Fiona had asthma. Her health had never been great, but Jason had always been a responsible brother. He was attentive to her
every need.
Evelyn was just acquainted with him, and their past had not been particularly friendly either, which left little to chat about. There was a hint of awkwardness in the
Jason noticed this too. He broke the silence first. “Then, what are you here for?”
“I talked to my uncle’s attending physician about his treatment options,” Evelyn replied politely.

When Jason first saw her today, he had sensed something was on her mind. After a moment of consideration, he asked, “Did you run help?”
Evelyn looked at him slowly, suspicion flickering in her eyes. Given how he used to dislike her, she was surprised he would offer to help. “It’s nothing. I’m just trying to find a specialist for my uncle.”
“What’s the illness?”
“Malignant tumor,” Evelyn answered.
She closed her eyes slowly, and her sense of helplessness crept in. With the way things were, she could not afford to collapse.
Jason was at a loss for how to comfort her. He soon fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, he looked at her and said, “I know a renowned doctor. If you don’t mind, I can share his contact info with you.”
Evelyn stared at him, slightly stunned. Her eyes showed confusion and doubt.
Jason, clearly saw the doubt she had. He pressed his lips together and pulled out his phone. After a few taps, Evelyn’s phone buzzed.
“He’s a friend of mine who studied abroad for years and is well–versed in his field. Even if he’s not the exact match, he has access to top–tier medical resources.
Evelyn was genuinely taken aback as jason had sent her a phone number.
“Why are you helping me?” she asked instinctively.
He used to dislike and always looked down on her, nor with Mason’s level of hostility, but with a cold inditierence nonetheless. He had always chosen to ignore her
Her question left jason stunged. His gaze flickered, and he said, “just lending a hand.
Evely could not figure out his motives, but she had to admit that he gave her a lead. Someone like Jason would not have weak connections.
She exhaled slowly, then tunked lam sincerely. “Thank you”
“It’s no trouble at all.” He could tell she was still distant, but he did not blame her. After all, he had been pretty antal toward her in the past.
“Where are you lading to? I’ll give you a ride. jason glanced at his watch and offered politely
fine. There’s nod to trouble you ”
Jason looked straight her and said seriously, “You’re probably brading back to your like I’m headed that way too. It’s no trouble.”
Evelyn hesitated. Mae had taken a cab here as Justine drove her car off for maintenance–Calling another one now would probably take a while. Besides, Jason had just helped her, so refusing him would seem a little rude
After some though, she nodded “Thank you.”
Only Hien did jason give a small smile.

Perhaps it was due to her condition, but a sharp pain stabbed at her lower abdomen just as her foot touched the ground.
Hei face went white, and her legs gave out beneath her Jason reacted instantly and caught her on instinct.
Through her cashmere coat, he could still feel the wannth of her slim waist. For a moment, his body stiffened.
As he lowered his head to ask if she was alright, harried footsteps were heard from behind, followed by a cold and furious voice
“What are you doing?”
Jason tumed around, not expecting to take a hard punch square in the jaw, sending him back several steps
