Chapter 1625: Courteous but Perfunctory

When Jessica saw Carl, her eyes flashed with a trace of surprise.

As soon as she was injured, she was sent to the hospital. Nurses had just bandaged her and
transferred her to the ward. The drama show in the morning had to be canceled as she was injured, so
most people from the drama club had come.

More than a dozen people crowded the small ward. Jessica had been tired of all the noises they made.

However, most people came to see her out of kindness, so she could only reply with smiles.

Jessica was surprised to see Carl show so soon.

Carl walked to Jessica's bed, looking her up and down. Then his gaze fell on her thin face. "Where else
did you get hurt? Except for your hand and face," he asked.

She had been so thin lately that her chin had become even sharper.

"Nothing else." Jessica shook her head.

"Mr. Carl, how rare to see you..." someone in the ward tried to chat Carl up.

Carl ignored that person. He even didn't look back. "Sorry, everyone, I'd like to talk to her alone," he
said coolly.

Although he said "sorry", he didn't show any signs of "sorry" from his behavior and expression.

He actually ordered others to leave.

Of course, not everyone had the brains to tell what Carl truly meant. Several idiots still stayed but were
soon dragged out by sophisticates.



Finally, there were only Carl and Jessica left in the ward.

Kalyan stood at the door. Seeing that others had left, he closed the door to the ward and stood guard at
the door.

Kalyan was a top student. After spending so many years following Carl, he became experienced and
more knowledgeable and naturally cultivated a distinctive temperament.

The actors and actresses started to chat with Kalyan, perhaps because they felt boring just standing
outside the ward.

Kalyan did not speak much to strangers. He only answered politely but perfunctorily with simple words
like "Yes" and "I am not quite sure."

Soon those people found that Kalyan had no interest in talking with them.

But a silly young girl walked over and asked, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Hearing it, Kalyan took half a step back without even looking at the girl and said firmly, "I just became a
father."

The girl felt awkward, but she quickly moved closer. "Then what about Mr. Carl? It has been said that
Mr. Carl had a new girlfriend?"

Kalyan ignored this question.

The girl pressed curiously, "Why don't you say anything? Does it mean you admit it?"

"If you're curious, you can ask Mr. Carl face to face. I'm only an assistant." Kalyan showed a severe
expression, looking intimidating.



The girl was frightened and didn't dare to continue pestering him.

As the door was closed by Kalyan, Jessica and Carl couldn't hear those gossips.

Carl knitted his brows together.

Jessica asked, "Did you run red lights again?"

Carl was in a trance for a moment before he understood what Jessica meant, "It was Kalyan driving."

Jessica knew Carl. He must run red lights since he came to see her so hurriedly.

Even though he was already a big shot in the entertainment circle, he was still very impulsive
sometimes.

It wasn't the first time Carl had done such things as running red lights.

But he never learned a lesson.

"That's good." Jessica knew Kalyan was steady and wouldn't run red lights.
