Chapter 330 Is It Because I Left?
When Yaxley received a call from Ava, his car was stopped at a traffic light on the road.
In the evening in Northland, a light rain began to fall, the sky was dark, and the visibility was much lower than before.
His return to Northland had already been known by his family, but he didn’t let Uncle Cole send him off. Instead, he drove to the hotel by himself.
While waiting at the traffic light, he saw Ava’s call and casually answered it.
He only thought that their reason for calling him back was impure, but he didn’t expect them to even have the idea of arranging blind dates for him.
“I understand.” Even though Yaxley was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn’t express much to
Ava.
Ava asked incredulously, “Is this all your reaction?”
Yaxley looked at the rain suddenly getting heavier outside the car window and asked lightly, “What kind of reaction do you want from me?”
“At least you should be shocked or angry. Brother, you’re not actually going to listen to them and go on a blind date, are you?” Ava asked.
She obviously had strong opinions on this matter, even though she didn’t dare to say a word. when she overheard her parents mention it downstairs before.
Yaxley said calmly, “This is not something you should be concerned about.”
After speaking, without waiting for Ava to respond, he continued, “I will come to pick you up tomorrow morning to go to the hospital and see Grandma.”
“Are we going tomorrow? But Dad is at home today.” Ava was a little worried that if Yaxley came to pick her up tomorrow and Jacob saw them, they would end up fighting.
Jacob was the one who was most against her visiting her grandmother. Taking her to see her grandmother was like challenging him.
“Yes, tomorrow. Since he wants me to go on a blind date, I have to make some concessions.”
After saying that, Yaxley hung up the phone without paying attention to Ava’s wailing.

The traffic light tumed green, and Yaxley drove the car forward.
In front of him was a taller van, blocking most of his view of the road ahead.
The van passed the intersection, and he followed slowly behind, but then he saw a figure walking aimlessly towards the zebra crossing.
He quickly hit the brakes, but the person still fell to the ground.
The rain started to pour harder.
The pouring rain obscured his vision, and the wipers were swinging frantically. Yaxley got out of the car to check on the person’s condition, only to see a girl lying pale on the ground.
Not wanting to cause a traffic jam, Yaxley confirmed that the girl was still breathing but unconscious, so he carried her to the car and placed her in the back seat.
He didn’t hit the person, but leaving someone out in the rain like this was him.
Meanwhile, Angela had finished treating Jonathan’s wound and prepared a meal.
Jonathan wanted to help, but Angela refused, citing his injured arm. He just stood at the kitchen door, not going far.
Jonathan knew that Angela was angry, but he was always clumsy in this regard. Although he had improved a lot compared to before, he still didn’t know how to appease Angela.
Angela wasn’t in the mood for anything too complicated. She simply made some noodles and cracked two eggs into the soup.
Seeing Jonathan standing in the doorway, tall and imposing, with a cold demeanor, but his eyes always fixed on her.
The contrast was stark Jonathan never showed such a look in front of others.
More accurately, he had never shown such an expression in front of anyone other than Angela.
“Come over and pick your noodles,” Angela called out to him.
Jonathan quickly approached and picked up the chopsticks to help. Angela watched from the side and suddenly asked, “Is it because I left suddenly?”
She had thought about this possibility before but quickly dismissed it after thinking about it.

Having such thoughts without reason seemed a bit self–centered.
Jonathan paused for a moment, then quickly responded, “No.”
Angela sighed, knowing that Jonathan wouldn’t admit it, but it didn’t matter. She had already gleaned the answer from his subtle reaction.
“I’ll give you acupuncture on your legs tonight, and I’ll prepare a new traditional medicine for you to drink later. You must drink it properly.”
After her conversation with Daniel earlier, she had a new idea. She thought that perhaps Jonathan’s obstacles could be approached more from the perspective of traditional medicine.
If it didn’t work, there wouldn’t be too many adverse effects. If it succeeded, it would be a pleasant surprise.
“I’m feeling a bit tired tonight, so let’s skip the acupuncture for now,” Jonathan said, then added, “I will drink the medicine you prepared for me.”
Angela frowned, somewhat agreeing with Jonathan’s explanation.
She was indeed a bit tired, and Jonathan had been busy at the company all day, presumably
Iso tired.
Okay. Let’s postpone the acupuncture.” She needed to adjust her approach in order to have a
etter effect.
fter dinner, Jonathan offered to wash the dishes. She didn’t stop him and instead made a hone call to Daniel.
aniel was someone who knew Jonathan quite well. If she wanted to inquire about why nathan had self–harmed again after leaving Riverdon, Daniel would be the best person to lk to.
When she saw the bandages on Jonathan’s arm, she was already considering contacting aniel.
took a while for Daniel to answer the phone, his voice sounding weak and breathless.
ngie? Why are you calling me? Aren’t you in Northland?” Daniel was genuinely surprised, at his question seemed unnecessary and redundant.
ngela got straight to the point, “You bandaged Jonathan’s arm. Do you know when he had
episode? Why did he have an episode?”
3/4
She asked calmly but with a firm tone.
“What?” Daniel hesitated for a moment before asking, “You found out so soon?”
“Yes. Tell me everything you know. I need to prescribe medication for Jonathan later. Even a little relief would help.”
Angela was worried that Jonathan’s condition had not actually improved at all, and the reason there had been no apparent problems recently was because she had been with him all along.
Jonathan cared about her, and she cared about Jonathan.
This was what she realized after they both expressed their feelings to each other. But now, Jonathan’s concern for her seems to miraculously suppress his self–harming tendencies.
This made Angela happy but also uneasy.
She didn’t want Jonathan to be good because of her, but rather, she hoped that Jonathan could be fine with or without her.
Daniel didn’t continue to keep her in suspense.
onathan had told him that Angela was a very important person, and Angela had already received his approval. Even though Jonathan tried not to worry Angela, she directly asked him about it, and he had nothing to hide.
The night you left, I received a call at 2 a.m. When I got there, his condition was terrible. He aad injured himself all over.”

Daniel was almost scared out of his wits when Jonathan called him to Springgate Estates. If it weren’t for Jonathan’s remarkable self–control, he might have arrived too late and Jonathan. night have been gone.
