Chapter 3269

Chapter 3269 Jake Is Displeased

Lying stiffly in the bed, she squeezed an awkward smile. "Ah! We haven't met each other for quite a while. It's really embarrassing that I'm lying like this in bed now..."

At the sight of her smile and casualness, Jonas heaved a silent sigh. It's really a relief that she responds in such a casual way without chasing me away!

He pulled a chair to sit near Megan and fixed his gaze on her face. The gloominess on his face was gradually eased as he could not resist feeling amused at her awkwardness.

His lips curved into a mischievous smile as he teased her, "What are you embarrassed with? You're still in your hospital gown and not naked." When he smiled, there were sparkles in his smiling eyes as well. "Yeah... you're right." Touching the tip of her nose in embarrassment, Megan chuckled sheepishly.

After that, a sudden silence ensued the whole ward. Jonas lowered his eyes to conceal the complex emotions in his eyes. Looking at Megan's hand, he tried to distract his own attention away from the urge to pour out those words which were playing in his mind.

After a while, he broke the silence by asking inquisitively, "Oh yeah, what had actually happened? How did you get hurt? I'm shocked when I heard that you're injured!"

In an instant, a wave of fury surged within Megan again. She snorted twice before describing to him the previous incident. Feeling pissed off with Mia's heinous demeanor, she scoffed, "What a despicable woman who is good at playing underhanded tricks!"

Jonas was not really familiar with Mia. During their previous commercial shooting, she was undoubtedly giving off a vibe of arrogance. Even so, it was out of his expectation that she was scheming and manipulative as well.

Anyway, Osmond is a cunning fellow as well. I'm sure Mia tends to be influenced by him in a way.

Thinking about Megan's so-called foes, Jonas let out a deep sigh again. Tucking the sides of her bedsheets, he asked with a frown, "Why don't you stop being on bad terms with them? Both Osmond and Mia are not someone easy to deal with. Apart from that, she is still related to you in a way, isn't it?"

Related to me in a way?

Megan blinked her eyes with a puzzled look. She only realized after a while that he was referring to Mia.

"I'm an orphan now. I have no relatives," Megan's face turned grim as she replied coldly. Jonas's heart flinched at the sudden change in her expression and the coldness in her tone.

"In that case, I bet you'll need to overcome more hiccups for your career advancement in showbiz," Jonas commented tactfully.

He was kind of worried about Megan's current predicament. As a newbie, she was already encountering a bumpy start. Thus, he could foresee that her journey to become a successful artist would definitely be an extremely challenging one with various obstacles.

Megan was fully aware of her current extreme circumstance. However, she knew that there was no way out for her as she was fated to go through all the ups and downs in the quest to pursue her dreams. "Don't worry. As the saying goes, when one door closes, another door opens. I'm convinced that there will be a way out for me as long as I don't give up easily!" Megan motivated herself. Upon hearing her self-motivation words, Jonas decided not to comment further. Feeling amused with her expression, he chuckled and poked lightly on her chin with his finger.

"You're really good at putting up a tough front. Fine, I can't beat your eloquence as well. I'll just drop the topic." He shook his head and smiled.

"Haha! Don't worry so much! No matter what, I'll tell myself to just go ahead! I'm just looking on the bright side of things!" She laughed heartily and winked mischievously at him.

The initial awkwardness in the ward was gradually engulfed by a lively atmosphere. Megan was delighted that both Jonas and she seemed to be reconciled within such a short span of time.

When they were engaged in a pleasant conversation, the door of the ward was opened abruptly.

"Both of you seem to be in high spirits!" The next moment, a man mocked at them in an icy-cold tone.

Megan's body stiffened at the unmissable profound coldness in his voice. In a split second, she knew that the man could only be Jake.

"Mr. Wilson." Jonas turned and threw a glance at Jake before he stood up to greet him nonchalantly.

Megan could only blink her eyes and gave him an awkward smile as she was unable to sit up from the bed. She shuddered again at the man's intimidating gaze which was as cold as an abyss. It was as if his penetrating gaze could pierce through her bandage and plaster, freezing her skin.

"We are just having a chat." Megan twitched her lips and muttered as she glanced at Jake. The man, who was wearing a black coat, was leaning against the door coolly with his arms crossed over his chest. At that very moment, he looked like a mafia boss or a bodyguard in an action movie.

Feeling doubtful of Megan's words, Jake snickered and strode into the ward. The single room which was not really spacious appeared to be a bit crowded in an instant.

He fixed his intimidating gaze on Jonas' face without sparing any glance at Megan.
