Can’t Win Me Back

Jonah stared blankly at Julien, even though he was emotionally affected. Did Julien really spend the entire time waiting for him?

Jonah pondered whether Julien had truly foregone sleep and lingered by the door solely to catch a glimpse of him.

He gathered his thoughts and clenched his fist.

Julien pleaded, “Jonah, did I do or say something wrong? Tell me. Please.” He could no longer stand Jonah’s cold shoulder. His voice shook in nervousness as he attempted to hold Jonah’s hand.

Jonah suddenly took a step backward to dodge Julien’s move. Julien felt a shiver down his spine. He called out, “Jonah…”

“Dr. Lovelace.”

Julien’s eyes wavered upon hearing that. “What did you just call me?”

“Dr. Lovelace.” This time, Jonah sounded more distant than before. He seemed to have reverted into the once arrogant eldest son of the Taylor family. “Thank you for your service. My dad’s condition has stabilized.

“You have been in Belbanks for a long time. You haven’t had a chance to visit your family, am I right? Why don’t you go home?”

Julien felt like he was punched in the gut. His hand froze in the middle of the air.
