Chapter 1088 My Son Isn’t Lucky

"It seems like he only recognizes you now." Ariel shot her a meaningful gaze.

Narissa looked at Jamie sadly. "If only this had happened earlier… But it's too late now."

"What are your plans?" Ariel asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Of course, I'm talking about your relationship. Are you planning to continue the silent treatment with Jamie when he's better?"

Before leaving, Danny was worried about his good friend's relationship. Also, Elise and Alexander had a close relationship with Jamie and Narissa, so they wouldn't just stand by and watch their relationship fall apart.

Since they weren't there, Ariel had to take on the role of mediator.

"It won't happen. We've already broken up." Narissa's expression became more serious.

"Did Jamie agree to it?"

"No."

"Then, it's not up to you to decide," Ariel stated. "Relationships involve two people. It started with both of you and should end the same way."

"If the relationship has soured, is there any need to follow the rules?" Narissa didn't want to go against her principles.

"If I'm not mistaken, Jamie was drugged like Danny was back then and did something he shouldn't have done at the villa, right?"

"You're so smart that you can even figure that out. You should understand that since I chose to break up, it means I cannot accept my partner's betrayal. I suggest you save your breath if you want to persuade me to be forgiving."

Narissa knew what Ariel was going to say. It would probably be something like no one was perfect or everyone made mistakes. She had already said those things to herself, but it didn't work. Some things were destined to be unchangeable.

Ariel opened her mouth to say something but then seemed to remember something and suddenly brightened up. She smiled self-deprecatingly and fell silent.

Narissa usually gave the impression of being carefree and reckless. She did whatever she wanted. This gave Ariel the impression that Narissa would be helpless regarding relationship problems.

But now it seemed that Narissa was much more decisive than she had imagined.

Ariel intended to assist Narissa based on her own experiences and help the woman understand her heart. But since the latter had already thought it through, Ariel knew there was no need to bring up her own experiences.

She chose to accept it, while Narissa decided not to. Everyone had their own choices, and respecting each other's decisions was the best form of understanding.

Seeing that Ariel had stopped talking, Narissa quickly apologized, knowing her tone had been unfriendly earlier. "I'm sorry. I wasn't angry at you."

"It's okay." Ariel covered Narissa's hand with hers. "If you can think it through, I am happy for you instead."

"Why? Aren't you here to speak up for Jamie?"

"Says who?" Ariel smiled. "I am Jamie's good friend, but I am also your friend. If breaking up can make you feel better, I shouldn't force you to follow my thinking. Silly girl, this is your life. No matter your decision, it won't affect our relationship."

Narissa felt warmth bubble within her and she murmured, "Thank you."

"Forget about that." Ariel looked away and said worriedly, "I wonder when Jamie will get better."

As soon as she finished speaking, a couple dressed in luxurious clothes hurriedly rushed in, followed by Raymond.

The woman looked around the room anxiously. After spotting Jamie, she jogged over to him and squatted beside him, thereafter pinching his arms with disbelief and shaking them.

"Jamie, I just found out that I have a heart problem. If this is you pulling my leg, it'll surely kill me! Hurry up and tell me—is this some joke?!"

However, Jamie just brushed her hand away and hid behind Narissa. He covered his head and whispered, "I'm scared…"

"He really is crazy! Oh no, my head…" The woman finally accepted reality and her vision went black. She fell back while holding her forehead.

Her husband sat down in time behind her, holding her in his arms and comforting her, "I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming. We can't afford for you to get sick when our son has turned crazy."

The woman breathed heavily and couldn't say a word.

"Jamie, listen to me. Sit here and behave. Otherwise, I won't talk to you anymore. Understand?" Narissa quickly pulled Jamie out from behind her. She had to struggle to do so before she eventually made him

sit face-to-face with the couple.

"I'm sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Keller. I didn't protect Jamie well, which is why he got hurt like this." Narissa stood up and apologized sincerely to the elderly couple.

Back when she and Jamie got engaged in a rush, Taven Keller and Bridgette Hamilton were off seeing the aurora borealis and didn't attend the engagement party. Later, when Jamie video-called them, Narissa had met them once. That was why she recognized them when they entered earlier.

Taven was reasonable and didn't blame her as he waved his hand and said, "He's an adult. It's not your responsibility to protect him. If we blamed you for his injury, the Keller Family would lose respect."

"Don't worry. The best doctor is next door. Jamie will be fine," Ariel interrupted to comfort them.

Taven nodded in response. "Thank you so much."

"You're welcome," Ariel replied.

"There's one more thing." Narissa couldn't hide it any longer and said, "Since Jamie and I have already broken up, the upcoming marriage will be canceled. He is in no position to inform his relatives and friends, so I need your help to handle it."

When Bridgette heard this, she immediately sat up and clutched her chest, looking more surprised than when she confirmed Jamie's condition.

The couple exchanged glances and finally, Taven spoke to express their shared doubt. "Is it because of Jamie's illness?"

Such speculation was somewhat malicious, so he sounded uncertain when he said it.

Meanwhile, Narissa didn't mind. She shook her head and stated frankly, "We had already separated before the accident. It had nothing to do with his injury."

Bridgette opened her mouth, wanting to defend her son, but in the end, she only asked, "If you hadn't separated before he was injured, would you be willing to take care of him now?"

"I would." Narissa didn't hesitate at all when she said that.

Bridgette nodded. "I know that you're a good girl. It seems like my son is not lucky enough to marry you."

As she finished speaking, there was a knock at the door.

Knock!

"Sorry to bother everyone. We heard Jamie had woken up, so my brother and I wanted to pay him a visit."

Everyone looked toward the source of the voice, only to see Paul and his sister standing at the door, nutritional supplements in hand.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
