"Rival? Zed, what are you talking about? What do you mean rival in love?" Asking, Jean cocked an eyebrow, still with a displeased look.
"You heard me! Calvin is indeed my rival in love. The feelings he has for you... I think you know that better than I do," Zed said with a feeling that he was right about all this.
"No, you're wrong. I don't know that." Jean's face tightened as if thinking about what Zed had said. After a moment, she shook her head and said, "I don't care what other people feel for me. I treat Calvin only as a friend. Besides, there is only one person in my heart. That is you, my husband, father of my son."
Zed's eyes lit up. "Jean..." He looked at her passionately. "I'm sorry. I didn't think this through. I'm so sorry that I upset you."
Jean looked at Zed's sincere eyes. She rolled her eyes at him. "It's good that you know you are wrong. Don't do it again."
She was apparently less angry, making Zed relieved.
'Zed, I know your intention of hidding it from me.
But what upset me was that you didn't want me to be burdened by the weight of too many things. At least, you should share some things that I could bear, ' Jean thought to herself.
Zed heaved a sigh of relief and gave Jean a huge smile. "Yes, my dear wife. I won't."
He leaned back into his chair, feeling a surge of happiness. He knew that Jean would forgive him in the end.
Although she was angry, he believed that she knew what he really felt and why he had to do such things.
Then again, he kept it on his mind that things like this should not be kept from her in the future, or the one that would be having a hard time would be himself.
The car drove fast to the suburban area and stopped in front of a private hospital.
With confusion plastered on her face, Jean got out of the car in surprise and looked at Zed, who was supporting her, "Why here? Why didn't you get Calvin into a better hospital?"
"You mean the City Hospital? Once Calvin shows there, his identity will be exposed. Everything and everyone will turn against him," Zed answered as they walked towards the entrance. "Besides this hospital is not too bad. The scenery and environment is well maintained, and there's absolute peace here that the City Hospital doesn't have. What he needs most now is peace."
Hearing this, Jean couldn't help but ask out of concern. "Zed, are things really bad with Calvin?"
Zed looked at Jean with a bitter smile. "He is just a bit of autistic, hiding in his own world and refusing to come out of his own comfort zone." He sighed before adding, "I have already informed his mother, and now she is taking care of him."
"How ironic. It's not easy for Calvin to absorb everything that

ked lost in a trance.
"Calvin, it's me, Jean." When Calvin didn't show any recognition, Jean moved forward and grasped Calvin's hand harder. "How did you become like this?" He didn't seemed to notice her again. Jean felt her heart breaking into pieces and a tear escaped from her eye, but she didn't lose hope just yet. "Calvin! Why did you become like this? Are you really going to continue to let youself fall after having lost your freedom and your happiness for Christina for so many years?
Have you even seen your mother? She is still so young, but because of you, she looks much older than she should be. Do you really want her to keep worrying about you and taking care of you? You can't be that selfish, Calvin! How can you be so selfish? Wake up, Calvin! Please! Get out of your own world. That's not where you are supposed to be in. Stop dwelling in some place where no one grows! You should face the truth instead of hiding from reality.
Calvin, man up! Stop making your family and friends worry so much about you. I'm worried so much about you! Do you know how much pain I have to endure just by looking at you like this? All the foolish things you have done, I can let them all pass, but why can't you face the truth? Are you just going to abandon your friends?"
Grief showed on Jean's face as she held Calvin's hand tight and continued talking in hopes that he would finally snap out of it, but Calvin looked at Jean with the same expression as if he heard none of it.
As if Jean wasn't there beside him. As if he wasn't there anymore.
Looking at him like a lifeless and empty cocoon, the pain in Jean's chest spread. "Come back, Calvin. Please. Come back." She couldn't help but lower her head and started crying, whispering at him, fearing that she was starting to feel hopeless.
