Jasper gave a bitter smile. âNow, I just hope that Daniel was talking nonsense.â
Earlier at the hospital, she had pretended everything was fine in front of Mason and Veronica. But now, all her disguises had been stripped away, leaving only bitterness and unease.
âShall I take you back to the Reed family first? You need to rest. You havenât been sleeping well lately, and your dark circles have gotten worse,â William suggested.
âNo need. I want to go back to school first,â Jasper said. Today was the weekend, and there were no classes. But she knew that Lawrence would be in the chemistry lab during this time. There were some things she needed to ask him faceâtoâface.
âThen let me accompany you back to school,â William said.
âI can go by myself. Youâve been with me all these days, and you must be tired. You should go back and rest,â Jasper said, raising her hand to hail a taxi.
But in the next moment, William grabbed her hand. âAre you going to find Lawrence?â he asked.
Jasper nodded lightly.
âThatâs too dangerous!â William exclaimed. âIf Lawrence wasnât involved in Danielâs plan, then itâs fine. But if he was, then heâs a dangerous person now. He may hate the Reed family more than you think. If you go to him alone, no one can guarantee that he wonât harm you!â
âIâm just going to the school to find him. Even if he really wants to harm me, he wonât do it so obviously at school,â Jasper said. âBesides, if he really wanted me dead, he had many opportunities before, but he didnât take them.â
So in Jasperâs view, if Lawrence really wanted to retaliate against her, he wouldnât directly harm her.
Instead, he would choose to hurt someone she cared about to achieve his goal of revenge.
âJust because he didnât do it before doesnât mean he wonât do it in the future,â William said gravely.
âAnyway, if you really want to find him, I have to accompany you.â
The two of them faced off.
Normally, when William and Jasper have a disagreement, William is always the one who backs down.
But today, William had no intention of backing down.
After a while, Jasper finally said, âWill you come with me back to school? When I find Lawrence, I want to talk to him alone.
Iâm afraid he wonât say certain things if youâre standing next to me.â
âOkay.â This time, William agreed.
William drove and the two of them headed towards the school.
On the way, he caught a glimpse of Jasper from the corner of his eye. Jasper was looking down, absentmindedly picking at her fingernails.
This habit usually only appeared when she was upset.
Even though they were now boyfriend and girlfriend and closer than before, Lawrence was still a taboo topic that Jasper didnât want anyone to touch.
William couldnât intervene in the matter between Jasper and Lawrence.
What would happen between Jasper and Lawrence this time?
