Chapter 1020 Married
Fortunately, good news came soon. One day, Mandy heard hurried footsteps in the hallway. She quickly got out of bed and approached the door. As expected, she saw Jack in a rush, along with doctors and nurses, pushing two beds toward the room next door. Although they moved fast, Mandy caught a glimpse of the two figures on the beds. It was Charlotte and Joe. Both seemed terrible, but thankfully, they were still alive. After a long while, Jack entered the room with a weary face. Mandy hurriedly approached him and asked, “Is Miss Clinton safe now?” Jack nodded, a faint smile appearing on his face. “Yes, those who kidnapped Miss Clinton have been dealt with. She and Mr. Smith suffered, but they’ve been rescued.” Hearing this, Mandy finally let out a sigh of relief. She had felt somewhat helpless recently, constantly worried. Even though
she knew that Sharon wouldn’t stand by idly, no one could be certain until they were safely back. “Thanks, you’ve been working hard.” Mandy noticed the wrinkled suit on Jack and the prominent dark circles under his eyes, clear signs that he hadn’t been having the best of times lately. It made sense. Ever since Joe found Charlotte, the two of them had been trapped in a cave. One could only imagine the immense pressure on Jack alone. Anyone else might have fallen apart by now. Jack smiled, shaking his head. “Not just Miss Clinton, but Mr. Smith is also crucial to me. What I’ve done is nothing in comparison.”
Mandy suddenly realized that no matter the situation, Jack always maintained a calm demeanor, never blaming others. “You should get some rest. I’ll watch over things here.” After some recovery time, Mandy was feeling much better. Moreover, they were just in adjacent rooms, so she could lend a hand if needed. Perhaps truly exhausted, Jack took Mandy’s advice. But instead of leaving the hospital, he sat down on the sofa in Mandy’s room and drifted into a deep sleep. Mandy sat before him, staring at his sleeping face for the first time. She suddenly felt that if she could wake up to this face in her next life, she wouldn’t mind. Jack slept a long time, not waking up until late at night. Waking up, he looked around in confusion and only relaxed when his gaze landed on Mandy. “Did I sleep for a long time?” Jack’s voice was slightly hoarse, giving it a unique allure. Mandy shook her head. “Don’t worry, Sharon is watching over the next room. Everything’s fine.” Even though Mandy said Joe and Charlotte were fine, Jack wanted to check on them anyway. Mandy hesitated and said, “I’ll go with you.” They quickly went to the next room, where they saw both Charlotte and Joe lying pale-faced on their beds, looking not too well. Sharon stood up as they approached. “The doctor said they’re out of danger. They’ll be fine once they wake up.” Mandy and Jack exchanged a relieved smile and, without causing further disturbance, left the room.
Just as they were leaving, Mandy suddenly looked at Jack and said, “We should get married.”
