When She Stops Playing Nice (Hale Saxon)

CHAPTER 20

“Don’t blame yourself. You were also deceived. The Jackson family must be upset too. After all, word has spread. The most important thing is to mend th

“Yes, I understand,” Olivia answered in false docility.

At the same time, in a hospital corridor, Gina called Michael. “Withdraw the investment.”

Michael was thrilled. Finally, Gina. I’m on it.

Ginà responded indifferently. She would gradually take back the benefits she had given the Miller family because of their relationship.

After hanging up, Gina noticed a familiar figure in another corridor. It was Gabriel.

Gina didn’t know how to face him after that incident at Silver Grand Hotel. She felt awkward. It had been dark in the room. so she hadn’t recognized Gab Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Tll pretend I didn’t see him. Gina looked away and quickened her pace.

Gabriel flexed his fingers. His right pink was still stiff and showed no improvement. The current treatment could only slow down the muscle atrophy.

Prover Hospital was excellent at confidentiality, so Gabriel came here for secret treatment.

David, standing nearby, suddenly spoke, “Mr. Jackson, that seems to be Miss Miller.

Gabriel looked up. It was indeed her. Gabriel’s cold face warmed slightly. He quickly caught up to her.

David’s eyes widened. He had never seen Gabriel approach a woman. He hurriedly followed.

When Gina heard footsteps, she cringed. In the next second, Gabriel’s voice came. “Gina.”

Exasperated, Gina turned. “What’s up?”

Gabriel smiled faintly. “You haven’t texted me yet. Gina had promised to text him on WhatsApp after Gabriel gave her his number in the car.

“I forgot” Under Gabriel’s expectant gaze, Gina took out her phone and messaged him.

“Why are you here?” Gabriel was worried.

“Visiting” Cina responded casually. She paused and added, “What about you?”

Was she concerned? Gabriel’s eyes lit up. “I’m also visiting.”

“Who? Grandpa Neil?” Gina frowned. Why didn’t Neil tell her if he was unwell?

“No,” Gabriel clarified.

Gina’s frown relaxed. She didn’t ask. “Well, goodbye then.”

“Hold on, When are you free? Let’s eat together.” Afraid Gina would decline, Gabriela added, “Grandpa is coming too. He misses you.”

Gina thought Gabriel was being absurd. Didn’t they just part ways?

Gabriel continued, “How about tomorrow?” He hoped to see Gina every day.

Gina thought about it and agreed.

Gabriel was happy. “I’ll arrange the time and place.”

“Tomorrow night,” Gina suggested. She wanted to buy a gift as she went empty–handed to Neil’s birthday party.

Gabriel nodded.

“Is that all? Can I go now?” Gina asked.

Gabriel felt exasperated. Was she in such a hurry to leave?

They said their goodbyes and Gina left.

Gina’s phone rang when she reached the hospital entrance. She answered it. “Caleb.

“Gina, how have you been? How’s it been with your family? Good?” Caleb Miles was concerned.

“It’s been fine. I just left them, Gina told Caleb.

“Left?” Caleb was surprised. His tone became serious. “It’s their fault. Forget about them.”

Gina laughed and changed the topic. “Why are you calling, Caleb?”

“Well, the national college jewelry design competition concluded a while ago, remember? The winners have been selected. Do you have time? You still h

Every year, colleges would hold various competitions. As the president of the Judges‘ Association, Gina participated in the judging of competitions such as design, art, painting, and computing

“Sure. Send them to my email, Gina said.

“Good. Let’s find time to eat together,” Caleb suggested.

“Okay.” Gina agreed and chatted a bit more before hanging up.

At Vegate Central Hospital, James gritted his teeth. “Mum, you must find a way to transfer me to Prover Hospital. Otherwise, I’ll be crippled

Every time he went close to Cina, something bad would happen. James regretted looking for Gina at school. He should have stayed away. First, the tire insane. He should have driven faster and run down Gina that day.

Ella knew James was upset. “Don’t worry. I’ll find a way. I’m having dinner with the Jackson family tomorrow. I’ll get them to

James was relieved. Luckily, he still had Olivia and Ethan. Otherwise, he would be at wit’s end.

Ella frowned and sighed. “Prover Hospital isn’t cheap. It’ll cost us over 20 million dollars monthly if both of you stay there… Ella thought that the Jackson family with Phillip being admitted there. But with what happene

The pair exchanged a glance and reached an agreement.
