---- Chapter 53 In James' heart, Jenna couldn't compare at all to Wendy, who tried not to cry but still let the tears fall. He frowned, and an irritated feeling rose within him. Wendy warned coldly, "Jenna, don't make noise in this room." As soon as she spoke, James came to Jenna's defense. "Right now, it sounds like your voice is louder." To him, Wendy being harsh to Jenna meant she still cared about him. He didn't like seeing Wendy act as though she didn't care at all.
He defended Jenna deliberately , hoping to provoke some kind of emotional response from Wendy. Even James didn't realize just how closely he had begun to watch Wendy's every reaction. Wendy didn't respond. She packed her things and simply said to Raymond, "I'll go get the prescription filled." Then, she left. The whole time, she didn't look at James even once. When she walked past him, her eyes stayed fixed ahead, as though he didn't even exist in the room.
It wasn't until Wendy's faint scent had completely vanished from the room that James finally turned his head. He saw her figure disappear through the doorway. A hollow feeling settled in his chest, leaving a bitter ache. ---- He found it strange. Since when did Wendy have the power to stir his heart like this? All she had done was walk past him. Jenna leaned against James' arm. She wasn't crying anymore, but her voice was still choked. "James, you spoke to Wendy like that because of me.
What if she's upset again?" James snapped out of his thoughts. He didn't push her away, but his gaze had turned cold. Seeing the two of them acting so close and oblivious to others , Raymond pursed his lips and stepped in. "James, Mr. Frank Senior really can't be disturbed right now." James nodded, but before he could say anything, Jenna spoke softly. "Sorry, Dr. Carrington. I couldn't help it. I was just too worried about Mr.
Frank Senior." Raymond gave her a glance and replied calmly, "When Mr. Frank Senior wakes up, it's best not to cry in front of him. It could stir up his emotions, and that'd be bad for his recovery." Jenna kept apologizing. Raymond withdrew his gaze and turned back to James. He continued giving instructions here and there, bringing up reminders every time something came to mind. After finally wrapping up everything that needed to be said, he let out a heavy sigh. "What Mr.
Frank Senior worries about most is you and Wendy. If there's a chance, let Wendy spend more time with him. It's just that Wendy might be heading out soon for study ---- abro-" Before he could finish, Jenna suddenly cut in. "Dr. Carrington, James and I will take good care of Mr. Frank Senior. Thank you for your hard work today." Her urgency made Raymond glance at her with some confusion. "What study?" James hadn't been distracted. He immediately caught that detail.
"You didn't-" Raymond started, confused, but Jenna interrupted him again. She leaned weakly into James' arms with a soft moan. "James, I feel dizzy. I feel awful." The interruption did as she'd hoped - it drew James' attention away. "Where does it hurt?" he asked with a frown. Jenna shook her head, struggling to say anything coherent . Raymond, feeling uncomfortable with their clingy exchange, didn't know how to comment and could only clear his throat.
"James, I still need to check on the patient. I'll be leaving first. Call me if anything comes up." "Thank you, Dr. Carrington." After Raymond left, Jenna deliberately clung to James' arms a while longer.
