Chapter 1152:
Elyse blinked. “What? Who paid for it? Was it a man or a woman?” The server responded with a grin. “It was a
woman.”
Turning to Edward, she added, “She mentioned you're very handsand said she was happy to cover the bill.”
Elyse felt her head spin for a moment. The instant she had heard someone paid, the image of Jayden flashed
through her mind. But to her surprise, it wasn’t him—it was a woman. And not just any woman. One who had her
eyes on Edward.
Edward's face paled, his mouth twitching awkwardly.
When Elyse and Edward reached the hospital, they spotted Jayden lounging on a hallway bench, legs crossed,
scrolling through his phone, likely dealing with sbusiness matters. At the sound of their footsteps, Jayden
looked up. “Back from your date, | see,” he remarked, a sharp edge in his tone.

Elyse hesitated, studying him carefully before asking, “Where were you today? Were you at the hospital the
whole time?”
Jayden arched an eyebrow. “Where else would | be? You were off on a date, and | had nothing better to do. If |
wasn't here at the hospital, where do you think I'd be?”
He sneered and added, “What, did you expectto be hiding in my room, crying loudly?”
Elyse frowned, feeling the sting of his words. “Why are you being so sarcastic? It was just a simple question.
Can't you talk tocalmly?”
Jayden’s irritation flared. “No, | can’t. Why should 1? You're on a date with another man. What, am | supposed to
sugarcoat everything for you now?” His voice rose, the heat of jealousy clear.

Frustrated, Elyse stomped her foot. “I don’t want to argue with you. | need to speak to George alone, and none of
you are allowed in.”
With that, she swept into the ward, shutting the door behind her with a decisive thud.
Edward rubbed his nose, a teasing glint in his eyes. “Man, are you seriously that jealous? | had no idea you could
be this... petulant.”
Jayden let out a bitter laugh. “The woman | love went out with another guy. You tellhow to stay cool about
that.”
Edward clicked his tongue, a mischievous look crossing his face. “So, tell me, do you have any idea who Elyse
actually has feelings for?”
Jayden’s brow furrowed. “Her feelings?”

“Yeah,” Edward continued, grinning wider. “You have any clue who's in her heart?”
Jayden’s confidence wavered for a split second. “If it's not me, then what else could it be?”
Edward raised an eyebrow. “Are you really that sure?”
Jayden fell quiet, a flicker of doubt crossing his face.
Truth was, he wasn’t sure at all. He couldn’t wrap his head around how someone like him—with a fiery temper, a
tumultuous past, and a dreary life—could ever catch her eye. Yet, he always held onto a sliver of hope—a “what
if.” What if Elyse was blind enough to fall for him? What if she was a fool, foolishly and hopelessly in love with
him?
But that was merely a fantasy, and he wouldn't dare voice it aloud. If he did, someone might just smack him for
his foolishness.
