Chapter 817 The End Of This Day

• Looking at Jordy's calm face, she added, "I'm still scared as if I was in the moment all over again. Have you ever thought that if he only narrowly missed... um, no. If he made 100 % of his shots, do you think you'd be lying down here saying that to me?" "We are divorced. It is my freedom to do what I do and whom I call. You have no right to interfere with me. I'm telling you, whether my relationship is with you, I wouldn't let you die. I wouldn't let anyone die before my eyes." Jordy frowned lightly upon her clear remarks and said indifferently, "Would you?" His lips quirked up in a half-smile. Gloria was about to respond when Jordy threw another question at her. "If it was really just a human life, why did you talk with a shudder after I was shot?" And for a moment, he was distinctly aware that her hands were trembling at that time. As she said, human beings weren't fiction but got feelings instead. During three years of marriage, he had never tried to observe her or understand her. At this moment, it was hard for him to describe how he felt. But it was apparent to him that it felt like a great weight was pressing down on his chest.
• Even his breath came in short, sharp bursts. He felt that distinct sensation especially when Gloria was talking to Jonathan on the phone. Hearing his words, Gloria fell silent. Did she feel that way at the time? But she didn't think she should hide it from him. She looked up at him. "What if I showed all that? As you said, we were husband and wife. At least I loved you with all my heart. Do you think I'm a machine, without feelings?" "But our marriage was short. It only lasted three years. Don't get your hopes up that I will agree to be with you again to please your family, on the basis of that little affection!" Gloria put her foot down. She would never be her old silly self again. Jordy denied that statement. "I've never thought so. I..." Gloria didn't want to hear anything more from him. "I don't care what you think. It's none of my business. It's late, and I'm tired from looking after you all day. If you can't sleep, try counting sheep. I have to go to bed now!"
• With that, Gloria got up and walked out. There were guards at the door, and she gave an order to one of them before she left. It was past seven in the morning. Ernest was here. He learned from the guard that Gloria had gone back to her room. The doctor was not here, and Jordy was alone in his room. This was a great opportunity for Ernest. However, before he could open the door, the back of his collar was torn hard by someone. Then, he was pulled to one side by force. Before he could react, he got a kick in his knees. Suddenly, he fell to his knees. Meanwhile, he saw the person before his eyes. It was his boss Harvie. Harvie's face was as gloomy as a thunderstorm. "What did I tell you? Do not touch Jordy. If I catch you doing this again, you may not live to see the end of this day!" Harvie yelled angrily at Ernest. That was his last warning. Gloria was the reason why Ernest was not allowed to hurt Jordy. Was he just gonna let Jordy run amok here?
