Chapter 1019 Admiration
“She…” Jack lowered his eyes, unsure how to broach the subject with Mandy. Recently, Mandy had been mentioning Charlotte more frequently. Even if she didn’t bring her up, Jack could tell that Mandy’s admiration for Charlotte grew. And now, with this incident… “After I passed out, she was taken away, wasn’t she?” Even if Jack hadn’t spoken, Mandy would have guessed the truth. After fainting, she wasn’t entirely oblivious. She had a vague sense of what was happening, though it wasn’t clear. Jack sighed softly, “Yes.” Seeing the furrow in Mandy’s brow, Jack quickly explained, “Mr. Smith has located her. But rescuing her right now… It’s a bit complicated.” “I want to find her,” Mandy said, looking at Jack. These days, Charlotte had become more to her than just an employer. If anything happened to Charlotte because of her mistake, she’d never forgive herself.
As she spoke, Mandy tried to sit up, but the sudden movement pulled at her wound, making her gasp in pain. Seeing this, Jack quickly moved to support her. “Look at you, how can you help like this?” “But…” Mandy started to argue, but when she saw the stern look on Jack’s face, she stopped short. The corners of his eyes reddened slightly, and a swirl of complex emotions welled up in his deep, his gaze as if he were trying to pull her in completely. The panic from the phone call was still fresh in Jack’s mind. The moment he heard the news, his heartbeat seemed to have halted. He couldn’t bear the thought of losing Mandy… He might never feel this deeply about anyone ever again in his life.
A flurry of emotions filled his mind, but Jack couldn’t utter a harsh word to Mandy. “You’ve done your best to save her. I believe if Miss Clinton were here, he wouldn’t want you to do anything reckless either,” Jack embraced Mandy, providing her with a comforting warmth. How could one not feel scared? In the past, Mandy had faced life-threatening situations without fear, because there was nothing in this world she felt attached to. Leaving it wouldn’t matter. But she was shot this time, the only thing that flashed in her mind was Jack’s surprised smile when he proposed. They were on the brink of a promising future. How could everything end now? “Don’t worry, whether it’s Mr. Smith or me, we will do everything to rescue Miss Clinton. Your sole task is to heal. Once you’ve recovered, I won’t stand in your way, no matter what you decide to do,” Jack assured her earnestly. As for those who dared to harm Mandy… A violent thought rose in Jack’s heart for the first time. If those people were right in front of him now, he might kill them on the spot. They would pay the price eventually. With Jack’s assurance, Mandy finally gave up on the idea of rescuing Charlotte and promised to wait for him in the hospital. In the following days, Jack was so busy he barely had a moment for himself. Though he always managed to visit Mandy, it was often just for a few fleeting minutes, and sometimes, he just made a brief appearance before rushing off. The exhaustion on his face grew more evident each day, and it pained Mandy to see him like that. She knew that if it weren’t for her, Jack wouldn’t be so committed to saving Charlotte.
However, given the current situation, Mandy couldn’t ask Jack to stop. If even they gave up, the hope of saving Charlotte would be slimmer.
