Chapter 255

Plenty of Opportunities

“Wrong time?”

Jordy left the door unclosed. When Gloria arrived, she happened to see the affectionate couple

inside the ward.

The smile on Angela’s face froze, but she soon said with a smile, “Gloria, you’re here. Come on in!”

With wariness in her eyes, she looked at Gloria and wondered how much the latter had overheard her
speech. On the day of the party, she failed to make things clear. If Gloria challenged her now, the
positive image she had just created would collapse for sure.

Jordy’s penetrating gaze darted over. Emotions mixed in his eyes.

Gloria curled her lips. Indeed, she had heard Angela’s explanation about the party. As for how Jordy
thought of it, she didn’t care, and neither did she have the intention of mentioning it.

Following a glance at Jordy, she said with a smile, “Mr. Collins, I heard that you would work overtime
tonight and thus came to visit Angela. I didn’t expect to see you here. I’m sorry for the interruption.”

Gloria put the basket of fruit on the table.

Angela was relieved that Gloria didn’t bring up that matter. She turned to look at Jordy, only to find him
staring at Gloria.

She was delighted, believing that Jordy was dissatisfied with Gloria even more.

Holding onto Jordy’s arm, she picked up the conversation and said with concern, “My injury is not
serious, Jordy. You don’t have to come often. I’ll feel guilty for interrupting your work.”



Gloria looked at the intimate couple and curled her lips.

Jordy intended to pull his arm out but dismissed the thought since Gloria was there. Instead, he said in
a gentle voice, “No work is as important as you are,”

Gloria was stunned.

He got so mushy.

Angela’s eyes flicked with astonishment. Jordy had never talked like this before. He was so sweet!

Angela shook her head and got sentimental. “Jordy…”

Her eyes were misty. If Jordy continued to speak like that, she would be moved into tears.

With a faint smile, Gloria said, “Cousin, you’re easily touched. Mr. Collins has done so many things

for you, and you will be forever grateful.”

Her sarcasm was expressed in a tactful way. Angela looked at Gloria and cringed. “Please… pardon
me.”

She let go of Jordy’s arm and restrained herself.

She could play dumb just now and pretend that she was immersed in her mood till Gloria cut off her
retreat. Any more act would look deliberate and might arouse Jordy’s suspicion.

Damn it, Gloria!

Why are you going against me all the time?,

What Angela didn’t know was that if Gloria were not here, Jordy might not have behaved like that.



Emotionless, Jordy stared at Gloria and remained silent.

Gloria said in a light voice, “I should have come to visit you last time. I didn’t because I heard that Mr.
Collins was keeping your company, and he happens to be here today. Cousin, since you’ve got
company, I will get out of your hair. When you’re discharged from the hospital, I’ll go and visit you.”

The expression in Angela’s eyes changed, and she shook her head. Then as if something occurred to
her, she said with a smile, “Cousin, I know you’re busy. Don’t worry about me. There are plenty of
opportunities.”

She was implying that Gloria would not like to come and visit her.

Oblivious to Jordy’s aggressive gaze, Gloria curled her lips and laid her eyes on him.
