My Husband, Warm The Bed
Chapter 1288

"Gunshot wound? Old illness?" Karen Joy was so agitated that she grabbed Julien's shoulder and asked, "Julien, are you telling the truth?"

The last time Karen Joy met Jayden, he looked fine. Hence, she had always thought that he had fully recovered from his injuries. She had not expected that his injuries would cause such serious side effects. "Jayden's old illness relapsed when I was in Madison City. I saw it with my own eyes. It couldn't be fake." Julien was aware of Jayden's condition. Therefore, it worried him when he heard that it was snowing heavily in Madison City.

"Jayden suffered from side effects because of the gunshot wound?" Upon hearing that, Karen Joy was perturbed. She looked anxiously at Lionel.

Lionel held her hand tightly and patted the back of it. "Calm down, Karen Joy. Let Julien finish and we'll talk about it after everything is clear."

"Jayden is my brother, and it was because of me that he sustained his injuries. How can I not be worried?" The fact that Jayden got hurt in the process of saving her was a knot in her heart. Her only hope was that Jayden was fine and healthy.

"I know Jayden's your brother, and that he got injured when he tried to save you. But what's the use of getting worked up now?" Lionel held her in his arms and tried to talk sense into her. Normally, no matter what happened, Karen Joy would be able to deal with it calmly. Only when it came to Jayden's health would she lose her rationality. Lionel was well aware of that.

"I..." Karen Joy knew that being anxious would be of no use, but she just couldn't control herself.

"Karen Joy, don't think too much. Let's listen to Julien." Lionel patted her gently on the back and said to Julien, "Julien, tell us what you know in detail."

Julien gave a detailed account of what he knew about Jayden's condition.

Upon listening to him, Karen Joy's heart ached. She knew that she had to understand Jayden's current situation and take corresponding measures. "Julien, call Jayden now and ask him what's his condition over there."

"Okay." Julien was also thinking of calling Jayden. He took out his mobile phone and dialed his number. When the call was connected, Julien broke into a smile and said, "Jayden..." "Julien, it's me."

Silvia's voice sounded from the other end of the phone, which made Julien's heart skip a beat. "Sister Silvia, why isn't Jayden answering? Is he unconscious again?"

"Julien, Jayden was unconscious for a few hours but he has already woken up in the evening. He is sleeping now. He's fine." Seeing the arm that was wrapped tightly around her waist, Silvia knew that Jayden was just sleeping normally.

Being the bossy man he was, Jayden did not let go of her even when he was sleeping, as if Silvia would run away from him once he was asleep.

Julien was not convinced. "Sister Silvia, is Jayden really fine?"

"Yes, he is totally fine. Don't worry, I promise I will take good care of him. He will be alright."

"Okay, you should also take good care of yourself. Good night." Julien hung up the call and said to Karen Joy, "Jayden was unconscious for a while, but he's fine now." "Does that mean Jayden went into unconsciousness before?" Karen Joy noticed the keywords.

"Yes," Julien answered honestly.

"I'll go and ask Dad about Jayden's current situation." Karen Joy stood up and was about to leave when Lionel grabbed her hand. She turned around and said anxiously, "Lionel, Jayden is my brother. I can't ignore him."

"I'll go see Dad with you." Of course, Lionel would not stop Karen Joy from caring for Jayden. Lionel just felt that he couldn't let her do it alone. He wanted to help her out.

Karen Joy refused right away, "Lionel, you are not on good terms with Dad. I'll go alone."

"Okay then," Lionel gave in.

He figured that Karen Joy was right. It was a fact that he did not get along with Kevin. Things would probably turn sour if he went with her.

In the study.

Despite being anxious, Karen Joy knocked on the door. After getting her father's permission, she pushed the door open and went in.

"Dad, you have someone reporting to you from Madison City, haven't you? How's Jayden's current situation?" Karen Joy asked Kevin directly as soon as she entered the room.

"Jayden is fine." Kevin turned his gaze to Karen Joy. Watching her troubled expression, he frowned and said, "Stop worrying for nothing."

"I heard from Julien that..."

Kevin suddenly raised his voice, "I have told you that he is fine!"

"Dad, Jayden hasn't fully recovered from the gunshot wound. He's not in a good condition. He won't be fine just because you said so. No, I'll have to go to Madison City to check on him." Karen Joy came to see her father because she knew that he had informers everywhere. She was hoping to learn about Jayden's current situation from him. However, Kevin was not willing to say anything.

Kevin said in a deep voice, "You can't go to see him."

"Why can't I, Dad?" Karen Joy was baffled.

"Because Jayden is living a good life now."

"But I'm his sister! Why can't I visit him?"

Kevin replied, "Everyone can visit him, but not you."

"Why, Dad?"

"There's no reason. Just listen to me."

Although Kevin was aloof and seemed to disregard everyone around him, he had always been sensible and reasonable. He would never force her nor forbid her to do anything.

"Why was that today? Could it be..." Karen Joy wondered.

She pushed her thoughts away and said, "Dad, it's not like you to say so."

"Do you want to know the reason?" In order to protect his daughter, Kevin had not intended to spill the beans to Karen Joy. However, since she was already an adult, he figured she had the right to know the truth.

"Dad, Jayden is my brother. He got injured for trying to save me. Can't I know the reason why I'm not allowed to visit him?" Karen Joy was afraid that the reason Kevin was acting so was because something bad had happened to Jayden.

Kevin opened his drawer, took out a photo from it, and handed it to Karen Joy. "Take a look at this photo."

"This is?" Karen Joy was taken aback. At first glance, she felt that the girl looked familiar. The girl's adorable pitiful expression was exactly the same as Karen Joy's

"This girl is Jayden's wife," Kevin stated in a composed manner. There was not a hint of wavering in his voice.

"This is..." Karen Joy seemed to have comprehended something, but she refused to believe it. She looked at Kevin again, saying, "Dad, if you looked carefully, you can see that the girl in the photo is completely different from me."

Kevin took out another document from his drawer and handed it to Karen Joy. "Take a look at this. After that, if you still insist on going to Madison City, I won't stop you."
