In the ward, the atmosphere was so heavy.
Jayden's face was full of guilt as he put down the basket of fruits he had carefully selected. His lips moved a few times as he said in a low voice, "Miss Parks, about this matter... I'm really sorry. I was rash. I hope you don't take it to heart."
With that, he nodded slightly and turned to leave.
At this moment, Juliet, who had been standing silently at the side, seemed to have suddenly thought of something. She took a step forward with a seemingly friendly smile on her face, but that smile was a little strange in this oppressive atmosphere.
She opened her red lips slightly. "Laurel, don't worry too much. Speaking of this, Jayden's family knows many people in school in Nifelheim City. If you have any difficulties in the future, such as Javier Peters encountering trouble in school, feel free to ask my boyfriend for help."
As she spoke, she gently placed her hand on Jayden's arm and tilted her head slightly to look at him, as if seeking approval. Jayden forced a smile and nodded.
I frowned slightly and was filled with doubts. I felt that this sudden "good intentions" hid a mystery that no one could see through.
After the two of them completely disappeared from the door, I slowly turned around and looked straight at Marvin, my eyes filled with questions.
I bit my lower lip and tried to suppress the uneasiness in my heart. "Ever since Alex got into trouble, Bonnie hasn't even called me. It's fine if Bonnie doesn't call, but what about Maliyah and Javier? It's as if the siblings have disappeared from the face of the earth. Why haven't we heard from them? What exactly happened in between? Don't hide it from me."
I unconsciously spoke faster, my hands gripping the corner of my shirt tightly. Marvin averted his gaze and moved his feet uneasily. He could not say a word for a long time.
Seeing him stammering, the anger in my heart flared up. I reached out to take the phone by the bed. My fingertips trembled slightly from anger as I gritted my teeth and said, "Alright, if you don't tell me, I'll call Maliyah myself."
Just as my fingers were about to touch the phone screen, Marvin rushed over and grabbed my wrist tightly. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his eyes were filled with anxiety and panic. "Laurel, don't call! Listen to me first. Don't be rash."
I struggled free from his hand and glared at him. "Marvin, if you don't make yourself clear today, I'll go back to Nifelheim City now!"
Marvin sighed heavily. His shoulders were slumped, and his face was filled with fatigue and helplessness. He slowly said, "Javier met an old woman crossing the road outside the school and kindly went to help her. Who would have thought that trouble would come?
"A van hit the old woman. The driver was simply crazy. He stepped on the accelerator and disappeared.
"Javier was an honest child. He sent the old lady to the hospital. In the end, when the family came, they insisted that Javier was the one who hurt her."
At this point, Marvin punched the table beside him. The cup on the table shook from the impact, and a few drops of water splashed out. "It wasn't easy for the old lady to wake up, but for some reason, she insisted that Javier did it. Coincidentally, there were no surveillance cameras around. Now, it's really hard to explain.
"The family asked for one million dollars. They said that they would only be willing to not sue Javier after being paid. This is fucked up!"
I widened my eyes in shock and anger. "How can this be? Javier was kind enough to help, but he was extorted! What about the school? What happened?"
Marvin frowned slightly and sighed helplessly. "The old lady's family ran to school and made a fuss."
I was stunned for a moment. "The school doesn't have to go so far as to disregard the truth, right?"
"Some time ago, something went wrong with Javier's exam and he was reported to have cheated. Javier isn't that kind of person, but this matter happened at the same time. It's very uncertain if the school can let him graduate successfully.
"Originally, Maliyah wanted to call you to tell you about this, but Bonnie refused because she didn't want you to worry. She wanted you to stay in Newton City in peace.
"Bonnie argued with that unreasonable family in the hospital every day because of this, and in the end, she fainted from anger.
"When Maliyah wanted to call you, she saw the news about Alex's car accident. She was afraid that she would cause more trouble for you, so she didn't call. She thought that she could handle the trouble at home."
After hearing this, my legs went weak. I sat on the chair by the bed and covered my face with my hands. Tears flowed down from between my fingers. "How could this be... Why is everything in a mess all of a sudden? Javier must have suffered a lot. Bonnie's health isn't good. How can Maliyah hold on alone..."
Marvin squatted down and patted my shoulder gently. His eyes were filled with heartache. "Laurel, don't panic. I've been contacting people to help deal with Javier's matter for the past few days. I've found some reliable lawyers to see if I can get this matter cleared up through legal channels. I can't let Javier be wronged for no reason.
"I've also arranged for someone to take care of Bonnie. I'll also keep an eye on Maliyah. Don't worry, we'll think of a way together. We'll definitely be able to survive this crisis."
I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. I raised my hand to wipe my tears and gritted my teeth. "No, I have to go and see them. What's the point of me worrying here? Alex..."
Marvin quickly stood up and pressed my shoulder. "Laurel, calm down. Alex's whereabouts are unknown. If anything happens to you, how am I going to explain to him if we find him?
"I promise to tell you as soon as there's new information. You won't be able to solve any practical problems even if you go now. You'll even tire yourself out. When the time comes, you won't be able to care about either side."
I bit my lips and struggled in my heart. I clenched my fists and dug my nails into my palms. "Why should I wait here? I can't do anything..."
Marvin patted my back gently and comforted me softly, "Stay in the hospital. People are watching you here. I'll also send people to guard here. As long as you're safe, that's the greatest help.
"Believe me, I will treat Javier's matter as my own. I will definitely clear his name and take good care of Bonnie and Maliyah. When your husband comes back, the two of you will go back to Nifelheim City together, okay?"
I raised my tear-stained face and looked at Marvin's determined eyes. I nodded slowly. "Marvin, please help them. If anything happens to Javier and the others, I..."
Marvin shook my hand hard. "With me around, everything will be fine. Rest up, and don't tire yourself out. You must take good care of yourself."
Jayden's face was full of guilt as he put down the basket of fruits he had carefully selected. His lips moved a few times as he said in a low voice, "Miss Parks, about this matter... I'm really sorry. I was rash. I hope you don't take it to heart."
