Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 223 - 197: Taking Care of His Injuries

Laura Quincy playfully punched him with a hint of annoyance, teasingly saying, "Ugh! Stop messing around!"

Jason Hawthorne wasn’t so obedient, his eyes seemed to be burning with two bright flames, "Laura, I really miss you..."

After this close contact, it became impossible to stop...

At the critical moment, Laura suddenly snapped back to her senses and pinched the man’s waist hard, "You’re a patient now!"

Jason Hawthorne looked unwilling, "Baby, it’s just my hand that’s hurt, the rest of me is perfectly fine."

Laura’s heart skipped a beat at the word "baby," but rationality told her that now was definitely not the time! After all, no matter what, he was still a patient!

"Get up!"

Laura hurriedly urged him, afraid that Jason Hawthorne would really act recklessly.

Jason said hoarsely, "When the arrow is on the string, how can I not release it?"

Laura was covered in black lines, this bad man was pretty good at using metaphors!

Then she said with a stern face, "You still have to hold back!"

After speaking, she pushed him hard, got out of bed.

Doing that kind of thing in the hospital room in broad daylight, wouldn’t it be extremely embarrassing if a nurse doing rounds found them?

The man might not care, but she couldn’t accept it.

Jason Hawthorne could only lie helplessly on the bed, watching the beauty leave, sighing inwardly, it looked like he had to endure...

Laura brought some fruit to the kitchen, washed it, and brought it out for him to eat, "Here!"

Jason Hawthorne looked up at her eagerly and after a long while, finally said three words, "You feed me."

Laura: "..."

She was almost frightened by his innocent little look!

Who would have thought that someone so cold would also have such an adorable side, it seems everyone has two sides, just yet to be awakened... 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"You eat it yourself!"

"I’m a patient."

"...You just hurt your right hand."

Laura couldn’t help but throw his own words back at him.

Jason Hawthorne continued to look at the woman in front of him with that innocent little look, "You know it’s the right hand that’s hurt, how am I supposed to eat?"

Laura rolled her eyes in exasperation, "Don’t you still have your left hand?"

Jason Hawthorne looked at her righteously, "Is the left hand for eating? And besides, if the right hand is hurt, the left will naturally feel uncomfortable."

The last sentence was pure nonsense, yet he said it with such conviction, as if it was a matter of fact.

Laura almost wanted to give him a thumbs up, only he could say something so confidently!

Fine then!

She’d feed him, otherwise, who knows what kind of mischief he might come up with...

"This cantaloupe isn’t sweet and doesn’t taste good, I want black currants."

"..."

Even picky about fruits like this?

Laura could only write a large "serve" word in her head for him, indeed, young masters from wealthy families are extremely hard to please!

While feeding him grapes, Jason Hawthorne’s gaze never left Laura, while eating, he kept staring at the woman so close, clearly eating grapes, but Laura had the feeling he was eating her hand...

And his gaze was so creepy!

Almost causing her to feed the grape right into his nostril...

Jason Hawthorne complained discontentedly, "Does my nose also need to eat grapes?"

Laura glared at him angrily, "Who’s asking you to keep staring at me!"

Jason Hawthorne’s expression turned even more innocent, "Sitting in front of me, if not you, who should I look at? Should I look up at the sky or bury my face in the ground?"

Laura almost had black lines emerging from her forehead, "Can’t your gaze be less focused?"

Jason Hawthorne expressed confusion again, "Less focused gaze? What does that mean? Why don’t you demonstrate for me?"

Laura immediately wanted to put the fruit plate over his face, this bad man was simply being unreasonable!

"Hmph! I wish your mouth would get hurt already!"

Jason Hawthorne’s expression instantaneously turned to one of tremendous grievance, "Laura, do you really dislike me that much?"

Laura snorted coldly, "Mm-hmm!"

Jason Hawthorne again acted pitifully, "I’m a patient now, my heart is the most fragile, I need your comfort..."

Laura Quincy looked at him with disdain, "If you keep this up, I’m leaving."

Jason Hawthorne was hurt again, "Laura..."

At that moment, there was a light cough from outside the door, and the two people in the room paused, especially Jason Hawthorne, who had a grim expression...

Soon after, three men pushed the door open and entered, each with a different expression...

Asher Thorne was the first to speak, "Cough... Boss, I could hear you from far away and thought I was hallucinating, but the closer I got, the clearer the sound. White even thought I got the wrong room..."

Silas Sutton glared at Asher Thorne in displeasure, seemingly unhappy about being dragged into his antics.

Asher Thorne shrugged; dragging White into this was definitely a wise choice!

Landon Linden couldn’t help but cover his mouth and cough lightly, not saying a word, but Laura Quincy could tell she was holding back laughter.

Jason Hawthorne glanced at the three of them with displeasure, "What’s the matter?"

Asher Thorne calmly took an apple and began to slowly munch on it, "Boss, your words really wound your brothers. You were injured and hospitalized, how could we not come to see you? Is it because you have a little sister-in-law now that you don’t want us anymore?"

His tone was particularly mournful, as if he’d been abandoned...

At this point, Laura Quincy almost stumbled, "You guys chat, I’m going to make a phone call."

Jason Hawthorne quickly called after her, "Laura, don’t pay attention to them."

Laura Quincy gave him a fierce glare and then quickly left the room.

The four of them were close brothers, surely with a lot to talk about; staying in there would be inconvenient and she’d become the object of their jokes...

So, the best thing to do was not to listen...

After she left, Silas Sutton spoke in a deep voice, "Have you figured out who’s shooting from the shadows?"

Jason Hawthorne frowned, "Officially it’s an old rival from business, but I don’t think it’s that simple."

Landon Linden popped a grape into his mouth, "Could it be related to your big brother or second brother?"

Jason Hawthorne shook his head, "I doubt they have the guts. If it were discovered, my father wouldn’t let them get away with it first."

Asher Thorne leaned against the window, "Maybe they were involved behind the scenes. Otherwise, how would your whereabouts get leaked out of nowhere?"

Jason Hawthorne pondered for a long time, "I’ll definitely get to the bottom of this."

Silas Sutton sat up on the sofa, "Need help, just call anytime."

Landon Linden crossed his legs, "I’m going to Khadura for business soon, I can help investigate this from the sidelines."

Jason Hawthorne looked gratefully at them; whenever anything happened to him, the three would come and help right away.

It’s been like this for so many years.

The brotherly bond built over years doesn’t need a ’thank you’; Jason Hawthorne acknowledged their goodwill with a simple "hmm."

Asher Thorne said slowly, "The high-level management inside Aegis Group is now a complete mess. I almost couldn’t get out the fifty-ninth floor yesterday from being blocked. Everyone has their own agendas; your confidants should know the ins and outs, right?"

Jason Hawthorne pressed his lips, "Yeah, Mason Cross will inform them secretly, and for those who are undecided, I’ll certainly leave a deep impression."

Asher Thorne chimed in, "That’s good. Take the chance to sort out the internal staff, which will be beneficial for your management moving forward."

After chatting for a while, they stopped talking. Asher Thorne suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is John in the hospital today? White, shall we go find him for a chat?"

Before Silas Sutton could speak, Jason Hawthorne and Landon Linden simultaneously asked in confusion, "Has the second Sophie Sutton appeared again?"

Asher Thorne nodded subtly.

Silas Sutton’s face did not look good...

Regarding his little sister’s dual personality symptoms, Silas Sutton was absolutely unwilling to believe it, but the video images were clear, forcing him to accept it.

He stood up immediately, "Let’s go."

His tone wasn’t necessarily bad nor good, Asher Thorne rubbed his nose and followed him out.

Jason Hawthorne and Landon Linden exchanged a glance, giving him looks of "stay strong and adapt"...

Asher Thorne suddenly felt this trip was somewhat "perilous"...

The Hawthorne Estate.

Ever since Eleanor Ford learned her son was shot, she’d been crying lavishly. Since the real culprit hadn’t been identified, she dared not say anything at home, only lamenting her son’s hard life...

Upon learning his youngest son was injured, Old Master Hawthorne was very angry and summoned his eldest and second sons to the study for a fierce reprimand.

Wade Hawthorne and Wyatt Hawthorne both exclaimed their innocence, "Dad, the incident of our fourth brother’s injury really has nothing to do with us! We swear by heaven!"

For once, the two brothers spoke in unison.

Old Master Hawthorne snorted coldly, "Any leads?"

Wade Hawthorne quickly shook his head, "Dad, you know lately there’ve been a lot of rumors about the company, I’m completely overwhelmed, and I’m sure fourth brother will definitely find the real culprit."
