Chapter 502
502 We Broke Up
About an hour later, Jasper brought Isabella back to his house. The family doctor had already arrived at that moment and was also taken aback when he discovered Isabella unconscious. He examined her and found that she had a high fever and a cold.
Jasper gave her a fever-reducing medication and stayed by her side all night. Her forehead was no longer as hot as it had been when it was almost dawn, so he returned to his bedroom.
When the phone rang, Jasper had just fallen asleep. He awoke immediately and answered the phone.
"I'll be right over to your house. I need to talk to you about something important," Ryan said anxiously over the phone.
When he heard Ryan's engine start, Jasper felt uneasy, so he went to his study immediately.
About a half-hour later, Wendy told Jasper that they had a visitor. "Bring him to the study on the second floor"He replied.
Minutes later, Ryan followed Wendy downstairs. His jacket was soaked by the rain, but he didn't seem to mind it. As soon as Ryan entered the study, he sat in the chair in front of the desk and placed a report on the table.
"What is this?" Jasper asked
"Where is Isabella?" Instead of answering the question, Ryan asked anxiously.
"She's sound asleep." Jasper picked up the file on the table and quickly unsealed it after Ryan dodged his question. 501 We Broke Up vail
"My colleague examined the knife Ada had left at the mall and found two people's blood on the blade, one from Isabella and one from Ada," Ryan explained, "He tested Ada's blood and found that it contained HIV antibodies."
Jasper's gaze was drawn to the last indicator data in the test report at that moment. He frowned and felt a wave of panic wash over him as Ryan finished his words.
As his mind was cluttered with all kinds of thoughts, Jasper couldn't think straight and felt like his thoughts were falling apart. He couldn't accept this reality, and all he could do was cling to the two pages tightly. Then Ryan continued, "We can't rule out the possibility of Isabella becoming infected. But, if she takes the PEP within twenty-four hours, she may be able to avoid infection. I got them from the hospital." With that, he took a pillbox from his pocket and handed it to Jasper.
Jasper became dizzy as he stared at the tiny words on the packaging. He paused for a moment before getting up and walking out. And Ryan followed him upstairs to Isabella's bedroom,
In her bedroom, Isabella had already awoken and was sitting on her bed, sipping the soup Wendy had prepared for her. She was surprised to see Ryan. "What happened?" She finished the last bite of soup and asked calmly.
"Take the medicine," he said as he took medicine out of the package and handed it to her.
"What's this?" Isabella asked, then smiled. She was confused, but she swallowed the medicine because she trusted him.
Jasper let out a relieved sigh. He took her glass of water and explained, "It's cold medicine." He then gave Ryan a wink.
Ryan realized what he meant and said to Isabella, "When I heard you weren't feeling well, I went to the hospital and got you some special cold medicine. Well, Jasper and I have things to discuss. Take care!" He then dragged Jasper out the door and into the study. Ryan became irritated as soon as he shut the door because he didn't agree with Jasper's decision to keep the matter from her.
"She must take this medication twice a day for a month. I don't think hiding it from her is a good idea. Besides, taking this medication will have side effects. She'll be suspicious even if you don't tell her the truth." Ryan tried to talk Jasper out of it.
"I'll tell her about it, but not now," Jasper said calmly with a solemn face. He was unprepared to deal with what would happen next, but he did not want Isabella to face this reality.
Ryan nodded and reached into his pocket for another box of medication. "Here's the medicine for three days, and I'll send the rest to you later. It would be best for her to take a break from school and rest at home for a while."
Two days later, a luxurious Bentley pulled up under Sean's dormitory building. Jasper left the Bentley and proceeded to the third floor of the dormitory. And a lot of people were staring at him out of curiosity. Sean had just returned to his dorm when his roommate told him in a hurry, "Sean, someone is looking for you."
Then he closed his lunch box and walked towards the door. Seeing Jasper at the door, Sean was not surprised and he was also used to dealing with his hostile attitude. "Where has Isabella gone?" Jasper went straight to the point while trying to control his emotions and keep himself from grabbing Sean's 501 We Broke Up 7 collar.
Sean found it amusing. He said, "You want to know where Isabella is? I believe you should know this better than I do." He then turned around and attempted to open the dormitory door but was stopped by the two men who stood behind Jasper. One of them grabbed his right hand on the doorknob, while the other grabbed the collar of his neck from behind.
Jasper said, "I'm giving you one last chance to tell me the truth. I'm not a patient person."
Sean knew from the moment he met Jasper that this man was not as nice as he appeared. His face was always gentle and calm, but he was very cold on the inside. Because the two men were grabbing him, Sean had no choice but to look back at Jasper. He asked provocatively, "Is it true that you are Isabella's uncle? Are you two related?"
"What do you mean?" Jasper asked, his brow furrowed.
Sean sneered and exclaimed, "Isabella dumped me yesterday! She said she was in love with someone else. I'm curious about who she loves."
Sean didn't like how Isabella used this reason to end their relationship because it made him feel like a joke.
Hearing that, Jasper realized what was going on and became even more convinced that Isabella had suspected she was ill. He motioned with his hand for the two men to let go of Sean.
"Have you seen her lately? If you did, when?" With a straight face, Jasper asked
Sean rubbed his aching wrists and replied, "Yesterday afternoon."
Jasper nodded slightly and became less hostile. He said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you two had split up. I apologize for what happened today." He then walked to the elevator quickly. 501 We Broke Up 4 For a moment, Sean was stunned, realizing that something bad had occurred. Since yesterday afternoon, he had been enraged and resenttul of Isabella.
He followed Jasper towards the elevator. By then, the elevator had reached his floor. "Has Isabella disappeared?" Sean asked.
Jasper entered the elevator and looked him in the eyes when the elevator doors closed slowly.
"Isabella has taken a break from school. You won't see her again," Jasper replied.
Sean's heart was broken by his cold words. He was upset and appeared to be out of breath. And he didn't come back to his senses until he got down to the first floor.
