In a private hospital room.
Jason sat down by the bed, keeping a watchful gaze at the person who had not yet woken up on the gurney. His eyes were fixed on Esme's face that looked so limp.
Dong Fang Xuan's?
Which Dong Fang Xuan was called Esme before the sting was the wedge? Why did his heart hurt so much when he heard the name called?
Why is his name like that? Even Esme had no friends in this city, how could she relate to people who were outside the Country? From his name, it was clear that the man was not from here. But it does not rule out the possibility that the man was around Esme all this time.
However, the moment Esme mentioned that name earlier, she felt as if she was Dong Fang Xuan's jerk.
Noe went into the room. Standing behind Jason, he called out quietly, “Young Master.”
“Callation.” Jason's face was extremely cold without looking at him.
Noe gives her the envelope, but Jason doesn't want to take it. He wanted to hear directly from Noe's report.
“I've checked everyone in this city by the surname Dong Fang Xuan. People with the surname Dong Fang were very few. Not only was there someone named Dong Fang, not even that name knew Madam. Most of them come from a small family with a regular background.”
Noe meant, they would not likely have the power to obliterate the nine family connections of others.
“What else?”
“Young Madam's mom isn't singer Alma Withney. Alma Withney has a good relationship with Mrs Jier. Before Mrs Jier married General Lyman, she had an ambiguous relationship with the previous President.”
Jason looked up after hearing this. Her eagle eyes looked at Noe curiously, “What do you mean, Esme could possibly be the child of Madam Jier's relationship with the late President?”
“It was just my assumption. Because not among Mr. Roy Andreas or Alma Whitney who is the original parents of Young Madam.”
“Find out, get their DNA.” Jason's cold voice sounded. There is nothing more convincing than DNA to prove their connection.
“Ya, Mr.”
“Back, and dig up any information regarding this Dong Fang Xuan as soon as possible.”
Noe nodded again and left.
Jason's hand grabbed Esme's palm, stroking it gently. “Do you know, you're not Roy Andreas' biological son?” His low voice whispered.
What was the reason he begged Dong Fang Xuan not to harm his family before he fainted? Will he already know this and know its origin?
Jason may be a businessman, but he understands politics, maybe more than anyone. Clearly, the current President could not rise to the position without stepping on the many corpses along the way.
The assassination of the late President. His eldest son died of electrocution, and his youngest son became a prisoner in a mental hospital. The second son was born when they were very young. To this day, there are no clues as to its existence. The details of his abduction remain a mystery.
The incumbent President's well-established atmosphere of life is a reflection of how sad things end for the former President.
A strong feeling of uneasiness grew in Jason's heart. If Esme is really the daughter of the former President and the daughter of Mrs Jier, then the situation is dangerous.
Madam Jier's husband is the older brother of the current President.
“Jason?” Seth has been in the patient's room for some time. Seeing Jason bewildered while looking at Esme's face, he didn't bother her. But some time had passed, and he could no longer be patient. He calls to pull Jason out of his daydream.
Hearing Seth's voice, Jason raised his head. His cold gaze fell on Seth's face. Gaining such a look, Seth smiled awkwardly. “Don't use a look like you're gonna kill me when you see me, Jason!”
“Don't you deserve to be killed?”
“Why do I deserve it? I'm not the one who hurt your wife.”
Seth reluctantly replied, “Then you go, and kill my horse.” He smiled without sin. Glanced at Esme and said, “What did the doctor say?”
“The injury is not that serious.”
It was just that, not long after the car accident, he had to be injured again in such a short period of time. With such a weak body, death still had a shadow on his wife's body.
Seth was finally relieved after hearing that. Pull up a chair, and sit down. There was a complex trace of emotion as he looked at Esme.
Jason noticed that gaze that instantly fell on his wife. “What did you come here for?”
Seth answered naturally. “Taking Esme.”
“Now you've seen it, you can come back.”
Seth has a wounded expression on his face, “Jason, I just arrived and you kicked me out? You are indeed very heartless.”
“You sat very close to the bed staring at my wife like that. How could I not feel?” Jason refused loudly.
“Jason, do you love Esme so much?”
Jason looked at Seth as if he was looking at an idiot. “Do you think a woman I don't love can be my wife?”
“No, that's not true. Do you want to divorce her before this?”
This question made Jason's eyes insinuate with danger, “Are you waiting for us to divorce?”
“Not ...”
Standing outside the door, Layla and Clara exchanged glances in silence.
Director Hall says a woman he doesn't love has no possibility of becoming his wife?
Does this mean he loves Esme? From the beginning, from knowing Esme to getting married was it out of love?
Layla's delicate face paled and looked in pain there.
The one Jason loved wasn't him?
After he graduated from university, he said he wanted to enter the Industry Hall, and Jason agreed. Esme was rejected on the spot when she said the same thing. Every time he won a competition for Hall Industry, he would have a private dinner alone with Jason.
Married for three years, Jason never took Esme out on any business. He thinks Jason never loved Esme. He thought the only reason Jason married Esme was simply because of Old Grandpa Hall's arrangement.
If it was really someone that Jason disliked, neither Old Grandfather Hall nor the Gods could make the man like someone that was considered annoying.
Layla gritted her teeth hard. At this moment, no matter how, he hoped that Esme would never wake up again!
In every way, he was superior, far better than Esme! Why does Director Hall love Esme and not him?
It must be because Jason slept with her. So he thinks he should take responsibility. He knew Jason from childhood, and understood Jason's character.
If the man could feel the body of another woman, he would not be depressed with Esme's body like this.
Thinking of this, Layla directed her sharp gaze at Clara, “This is all your fault!”
