Jonathan was fuming.

“Dr. West, didn’t you see that I was playing with the children? Why did you let her call the kids away?” he grumbled irritably. He cast an annoyed glance at Sasha. This is all her fault!

Sasha walked over to him, smiling apologetically.

“Apologies, Old Mr. Jadeson, I did not notice you here. My little girl has been begging and begging to see the children and play with them. I wanted to speak to Mr. Hayes regarding the treatment, so I had to bring her upstairs so that she would stop bugging me. Apologies again!”

Jonathan said nothing. He merely exchanged an irritable look with the doctor.

He did not understand why he was feeling so annoyed. Before he had his two grandsons, he had not had much patience for the little girl.

 

However, now that he had the two of them, his heart had softened for the girl.

He raised his head and looked at the young man who had already reached the door of the room upstairs. Anger bubbled up in him again.

 

That b*stard! So, nobody can touch the kids anymore? Why is this lady doctor allowed to do whatever she wants to them? Am I not allowed to say anything about it?

The more Jonathan thought about it, the angrier he got.

When Devin left the Red Pavilion that day, he had gone straight back to the army barracks and did not return again for a long while.

Jasmine was very upset by his absence.
