Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 158

"Interesting!" James laughed meaningfully, ''Then it's your fault. You are Auntie Adeline’s daughter.

You have to tell her how to do it as you give duly consideration to all aspects of a question."

James seemed to praise her, but no compliment could be heard in his tone.

"Brother James, you are kidding me. My parents always say I'm stupid. I cannot tell my mom what she should do."

Jessica covered her mouth and laughed.

It seemed that they were talking amicably, but both implied something elsem and it was actually a dispute.

Cathleen looked at them and frowned from time to time. She was thinking about something else.

Danis listened to their talks for a while but did not get what he wanted, so he frowned and could not help but ask.

"What did Dr. Roland say? Can Angela's leg be cured?"

"Maybe."

Jessica answered first as she looked at her leg and sighed lightly, "A doctor said before that Angela's leg could recover as normal, not to mention that she’ll receive the treatment from Dr. Roland."

She smiled with self-mockery, "She's luckier than me and maybe can still dance later. I really envy her."

"I just ask him incidentally. I don’t care about her."

Danis turned to look at Jessica in the back row with self-condemnation and guilt in his eyes.

Seeing their behavior, a sarcastic expression flashed in James’ brows, which vanished soon.

Jessica sighed and said tenderly,

"Don't be so nervous, Danis. I just explode without a reason, and I'm not blaming you."

"Jessica is so considerate and thinks of your feelings as a brother all the time. But you spend all your time thinking about the woman who made Jessica injured."

Cathleen sneered and said,

"Danis, you're really good at being a big brother!"

Danis looked at her coldly, frowned and said,

"I never said I still like Angela!"

"Exactly, but you keep her in your mind!"

Cathleen said sarcastically,

"Don't you forget that we just got engaged lately, and if..."

James did not want to waste time watching them arguing with each other, so he directly interrupted Cathleen, "You are talking about family matters. It's inconvenient for me to stay here, so I'll take my leave first."

"Wait, Brother James."

Jessica bit her lips and called him. She sincerely said,

"Is Angela better? I want to visit her."

"Mr. Lewis is getting married next month, and you as a granddaughter should be very busy. You don't need to take time to visit Angela."

James said with a fake smile.

Hearing that, Jessica could hardly maintain her smile and looked embarrassed.

"Bye."

Seeing the change of her expressions, James turned around to leave.

Jessica forced a smile and said, "Brother James, you're not driving. We’ll give you a lift."

"No. Thank you." James snorted and refused.

Jessica bit her lip and said softly,

"You don't have to feel like you are bothering us. We've known each other for so long, and we should pick you up."

She looked straight at him with fondness and bitterness hidden deep in her eyes.

"You misunderstood."

James looked at her indifferently and sarcastically, "I'm just worried that in case something goes wrong with the brakes of this car, I will definitely die."
