Back at the Snider group, Shane was not sure if he heard Calvert right.
“Mr. Suider, are you sure you want to withdraw the bid?” he asked Calvert.
Back then, Calvert had clearly said that he was determined to win the bid, and just as he was about to succeed, he gave up. He did not honor that firm ambition of his
Calvert nodded. “Do I need to say it twice?”
Shane shook his head quickly. “No, I shall handle it right away. How about the upcoming business trip? What is your latest plan?”
“Have you forgotten everything I said before?”
Shane felt cornered. Of course, he remembered everything Calvert said. However, if Calvert had a change of mind and Shane failed to clarify, the latter would still be in the wrong.
Calvert blinked his eyes a few times and uttered, “Except for the bidding, everything will be as usual. What is the latest news of the informant?”
“The relevant information has all been sent to Shadow Ventures. I am not sure how it is being handled at the moment, but I heard that the informant has been imprisoned and sentenced to a few years.”
Calvert hummed lightly in acknowledgment and waved his hand, indicating for Shane to leave.
[Jade is awake. You can come and visit her when you are free. Thank you.]
Calvert’s phone on the table vibrated. Th
caller ID showed an unknown number.
The next second, his phone rang.
“Hi, it is me, Caspian.”
Calvert was not surprised. The moment he saw the message, Caspian’s face appeared in his head.
He held the phone with his craftfully defined hand. He showed no emotion and his stony voice had a hint of impatience. “What is the matter?”
Caspian hesitated for a long time before making this call. The doctor had just come to inform Caspian that Jade was not in a good condition and her will to live was not strong. It was best to keep her optimistic.
Otherwise, if she got on an emotional roller coaster, it was very likely that she would do something to harm herself again.
After thinking about it, Caspian felt that Calvert played a very important role here. He was not hoping for Calvert and Jade to become a couple. He just hoped that Calvert could console Jade.
Caspian knew very well that it was impossible for Calvert to be romantically involved with Jade, but there should still be a possibility of being friends.
“Can you come and see Jade? She has always listened to you. Can you advise her not to do anything stupid again? You guys were very close in the past. It would be great if you could help her out this time.” Caspian lowered his stance.
He genuinely cared about this sister of his.
Calvert pondered for a few seconds. “It is useless for me to talk to her. She chooses how to live her life. It has nothing to do with me.”

Caspian fell silent. He did not expect Calvert to be so cold and heartless.
There was a long silence by Calvert. He then slowly opened his mouth, and the bitterness in his voice intensified. “Is there anything else?”
“Just come and see her for a while. I owe you a favor. I promise to do one thing you tell me to, anything Caspian took* deep breath and made another concession.
In the end, Caspian finally agreed.
At the hospital, Jade’s face was as pale as usual.
She leaned against the hospital bed, and her wrist was wrapped in bandages. Her gaze would drift out of the window and stare at a certain spot in a daze from time to time.
Calvert pushed open the door and walked in. Jade did not notice him until he spoke, She came back to her senses and her eyes gleamed. “Calvert, you’re here.”
His eyes turned to her and he gave her a quick, cold, and indifferent glance. “Why did you hurt yourself?
Jade could not help but grip the blanket tightly. She lowered her eyes and said, “I am sorry for making you worry, I was just in a bad mood and was not able to control myself.”
“I do not care about you.” Calvert frowned. If Caspian had not contacted him, he would not have come to the hospital to visit her.
In an instant, an awkward silence filled the ward.
Jade was just making small talk. Little did she expect Calvert to hate her to the point where he was unwilling to even try going with the flow. Not only that, he also blatantly expressed his unwillingness.
Jade’s expression changed a few times. She tried her best to stabilize her emotions, but she could not hide her sadness. “Oh, I see. Guess I was thinking too much. No matter what, thank you for coming,
“I know it is useless for me to apologize and make up for what I did wrong previously. But from now on, I will not do anything stupid again. I will give you and Ash my blessings.”
Calvert’s inhospitable aura made him unapproachable. He had been standing by the bed and had no intention of sitting down to chat. “Committing suicide is the most cowardly way to run away from a problem. If you sincerely do not want to cause trouble for people around you, do not do it.”
Jade lowered her head and sniffed a few times. Her eyes were a little sore. ‘No matter what, I almost died. How could Calvert be so cold and heartless? Had he forgotten everything about our past? Does he not care anymore?
Jade took a deep breath and forced a smile. “Yes, I am too cowardly. I keep causing trouble for everyone. If you are busy, you can go. Was it Caspian who asked you to come here?”
Calvert did not answer. With one hand in his pocket, he glanced at the person on the bed. “Take care of yourself.”
After saying that, he turned around and left. The time he spent in the ward was less than five minutes.
Caspian leaned against the wall outside the ward. When he heard the commotion, he turned around and asked, “You guys are done talking?”
“Yes. I am leaving.”

Ash was with Brooke at the hospital when she bumped into Calvert, who was about to get into the car. She originally wanted to ignore him, but it was apparent that Brooke did not agree with that idea.
Brooke reached out and poked her daughter. “Ash, is that not Calvert? It looks like he is leaving. Why don’t you go and take a look”
“I honestly do not think that is necessary.”
“What is wrong? Did the two of you argue?” Brooke immediately asked with a worried expression. “Or did he bully you?”
Ash sighed helplessly and smiled. “No, and I will say hi to him now. Shall we greet him together?”
Brooke declined with a smile. She had always wanted to be a sensible parent. This is when she will not want to disturb Ash and her fiance.
There and then, Ash decided in her head that the next time she went out, she would check her horoscope to see if it was a good day to head out. She could not figure out why she kept bumping into Calvert.
Riverstone was a big city, but they seemed to always cross paths.
Calvert must have seen her too. Otherwise, he would have already gotten into the car by now. Ash walked up to him. Since her mother was not far away from them, Ash could only wave her hand to greet him. “What a coincidence,” she said.
She felt that her words were overtly pretentious.
“Are you here to visit someone?” Ash continued..
“Duh. Do I look like I am here to see a doctor?” Calvert asked.
Ash nodded and said, “Is it Goodbye.”
range to come to the hospital to see a doctor? It is perfectly normal, right? That is it then.
Ash felt that she had done her job.
“Wait.”
