Chapter 265

At Thaddeus’s insistence, Jareth and Gordon transferred him to another hospital.

In the hospital room, Thaddeus lay flat on the snow–white bed, hooked to an IV drip.

Overnight, he had become dramatically haggard, but that handsome face that could turn heads was still stunning enough to make Jareth grit his teeth.

“You always cause trouble with women. I bet even when you’re dead you’ll be giving female ghosts a hard time. You’re quite the sinner.”

Jareth sat back in his chair, his arms crossed behind his head, looking at Thaddeus with an amused expression.

“You must have been drinking too much whiskey, to be talking so cold.”

Thaddeus slowly opened his eyes, his dark pupils filled with annoyance as he glared at Jareth, gasping in pain. “I’ve coughed up a pint of blood, and you’re discussing my looks? I’ve always been better looking than you, do you have a problem with that?”

“Hey now, I’m just trying to lighten your mood since you’re stuck in bed. Isn’t it better than dwelling on the heavy stuff?”

Jareth wasn’t unconcerned about his health. He just didn’t want to bring up the heavy topics and felt that two men lamenting was quite cringe–worthy. “Don’t worry, you’re not going to die. I’ve already arranged for the top internal medicine specialist in the country to treat you. I’ve even got you the best lung treatment machine, which costs a hundred grand each time it’s turned on. If that doesn’t work, I’ll look for doctors abroad. I’ve got the money, and they say money can make the devil work, so what’s stopping me from buying you back from the Grim Reaper?”

Thaddeus frowned, finding him noisy.

“Even if you’re completely paralyzed and only your eyes can move, I’ll always keep you by my side. You can be my accessory! In short, even without a wife, you still have a devoted friend. I won’t abandon you!” Jareth declared boldly, patting his chest.

No wife?

Accessory?

Paralyzed?

Thaddeus’s lips twitched, feeling like Jareth was subtly mocking, cursing and jinxing him

“If you’d just shut up, we could still be friends.”

Jareth’s face held an awkward smile, his mood a bit heavy, but he still tried to cheer Thaddeus up. “Thad, hang in there. If anything happens to you, who else can I rely on? Your family of monsters and demons will surely consume everything you’ve worked for, seeing me as a juicy piece of meat!”

Thaddeus felt a slight tightness in his chest.

He recalled the moment when he coughed up blood, It felt as if all hope had vanished.-
