The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1398

Sophia threw herself onto the bed. Her eyes were red with concern as she looked at post-treatment Jeremy. She asked, "How do you feel, Jeremy? Do you feel any pain?"

Jeremy neither looked at her nor said a word.

Melinda had a worried frown as she observed the man on the bed. She then turned to Tommy instead of approaching Jeremy. With a sincere look on her face, she expressed her sincerest apologies and said, "You're Mister Jeremy's right-hand man, yes? Please accept my apologies for how things have turned out. My husband has a bad temper, and Mister Jeremy was on the receiving end of his anger when his temper flared up. Rest assured that our family will take full responsibility for the injuries inflicted upon Mister Jeremy today. We'll find the best doctors and provide the best medicine to ensure that Mister Jeremy will have a full recovery."

Though Melinda was amiable to him, Tommy still had some measure of animosity toward Adam's family after what happened. He stated straightforwardly, "Mister Jeremy has access to ample medical resources. He has endured the beating, so I genuinely hope your husband will fulfill his end of the promise."

Melinda's mind went blank for a moment. She had not been present during the incident and was therefore unaware of what transpired, but she nodded earnestly in a demonstration of her goodwill and cooperation. She reassured him, "Please don't worry. My husband will honor his word."

Tommy replied politely, "I sure hope so."

Meanwhile, Sophia remained by the bedside. Still overwhelmed with sorrow, she exclaimed between streams of tears, "Why are you so stubborn, Jeremy? You didn't have to provoke my dad like that! None of this would've happened if you didn't provoke my dad…"

Jeremy did not respond. He looked ahead and breathed steadily.

Tommy approached her and instructed her to leave in a less-than-cordial tone. "Mister Jeremy needs rest at the moment. I suggest you leave so he can continue to recover in peace, Miss Sophia."

"No, I can't leave. I want to stay with Jeremy," Sophia insisted, refusing to budge.
