"It's unexpected that you are willing to sit in the same car with me," said Jazlyn on the driver's seat.
"I had no choice. Do you really think I'd be willing to be with you?" As Lucas spoke, he wiped the rain from William's face. "Archer knew that you were back, so he insisted on coming with me. Perhaps he wanted to see your boss. It's only natural for me pull you out to give them some time alone."
Jazlyn raised her eyebrows in disbelief. She did not seem to believe his words. Or maybe, she did not want to believe it. "Is Mr. Lan okay?"
"I guess he will have to rest for a few days. He's extremely feverish now."
What Lucas had said was true. Jazlyn stared at William's face and she could say that it was pale and unnaturally red. Despite being unconscious, he kept muttering something under his breath.
"He is miserable only because he has done many wrong things," said Jazlyn.
"I feel sorry for him whenever I recall what he and Mary have experienced these years." Lucas sighed in pity and continued, "If he wanted to be with Mary in the end, he should have been good to her."
Jazlyn did not respond. She just stepped on the gas and drove away under the rain.
In the villa, Mary and Archer were standing in the living room.
She stared at the outside of the villa, wondering how William was doing.
Suddenly, she felt someone's gaze on her so she looked up. She was stunned when she realized that Archer was staring at her.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Mary said awkwardly. "Aisha is resting upstairs. You can go to her later. Please have seat for the meantime. I... I'm mopping the floor!"
"Mary." Archer pulled her to talk in private. He wanted to speak to her seriously.
"What's w
f he did the same, I would be very angry, but if he changes, I will still like him."
"Are you expressing your love in disguise? Are you implying that you'd still love Victor even though he was a playboy four years ago?" Archer did not bother to beat around the bush so he went straight to the point.
"Ahem." Victor coughed unnaturally and said, "You talk. I'm leaving now. Mary asked me to be the best man so I'm going to try on suits."
"How could you be the best man?" Lucas frowned and continued, "Jazlyn said she was going to be the bridesmaid!"
"She's taking the place of Aisha," explained Archer. "Since she looks exactly like Mary, to avoid frightening others, she let Jazlyn take her place. As for the best man, you said you did not want to be the man so Mary invited Victor."
"I..." Lucas shrugged and said, "I don't want to be the best man. I will just attend the ceremony. William is still in a coma. If I am the best man, I'm afraid he will beat me up when he wakes up."
With that, everyone fell silent and did not say anything more about the wedding.
At the children's area in another hospital, Selah sat on the sofa restlessly while watching the TV mounted on the wall.
"This morning, all the media outlets are scrambling to report about the upcoming wedding of the CEO of the GM Universing Studios. Next, let's check out this new..."
Suddenly Selah raised her head. Her vision became blurry as tears flooded into her eyes.
'Barry Gu, you know Ray is your son, but you never came to see him again since that day. Instead, you are in a hurry to get married. That's right, Ray is just a trouble for you. He is just my son after all.'
"I wish you a happy wedding, Barry Gu!" whispered Selah.
