Sasha patiently coaxed Jameson to sleep, promising repeatedly that she wouldn’t leave. while he was
asleep. Finally, he relented and closed his eyes.
Perhaps due to the exhaustion from several days of restless sleep, or maybe because he felt too
secure with Sasha nearby, Jameson, who hadn’t really planned on sleeping, eventually drifted off.
Listening to his steady breathing, Sasha quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
After informing Henry of her intention to briefly return home, she prepared to leave.
“You’re not planning to sneak away, are you?”
Henry’s remark mirrored Jameson’s earlier suspicion, showing how well the assistant understood his
boss.
Sasha glared at him irritably. “Do I look like someone who doesn’t keep her word?”
After a moment’s thought, Henry reluctantly agreed.
“Ms. Yundt, just remember, our boss got injured trying to save you. You ought to take some
responsibility, right?”
Sasha inwardly cursed, feeling like they were unfairly pinning responsibility on her.
But she couldn’t deny that Jameson had indeed saved her, leaving her with no room for argument.
Reading Sasha’s expression, Henry seemed to understand something but chose not to press further,
letting her leave.
Sasha promised to bring dinner later and hurriedly left the hospital.
Watching her leave, Henry returned to Jameson’s room and found, to his surprise, that the usually
sleep-deprived boss was actually sound asleep.
Jameson had often mentioned his severe insomnia, making it difficult for him to rest properly.
Yet, in Sasha’s presence, he had fallen asleep effortlessly.
Henry guessed that Jameson must rarely have such sound sleep.

His expectations for Sasha’s influence on Jameson grew even stronger.
As they spend more time together, perhaps Jameson will have more opportunities to persuade Sasha
to reconsider and possibly resume her collaboration with the Leigh Group.
Thinking this way, Henry couldn’t help but feel optimistic.
Meanwhile, Sasha, upon returning home, was immediately interrogated by Timothy.
“Where have you been? Why do I smell disinfectant on you, and what’s with the bloodstain on your
sleeve?” Timothy’s expression was extremely serious. “Are you hurt?” He cherished his sister dearly,
so Sasha, afraid he might overreact, quickly waved her hands in denial. “No, no, it’s not me, I’m not
hurt.”
“Really?”
Timothy pulled her up from the sofa and examined her thoroughly. Once he was sure she wasn’t
injured, he relaxed a bit.
However, his vigilance didn’t wane, and he turned to Sasha.
“Then who got hurt? You reek of disinfectant. Were you at the hospital?” He asked.
Sasha thought she couldn’t hide anything from her brother and decided to reveal the truth about her
visit to the hospital.
When Timothy understood the whole situation, his face turned utterly dark.
“Gwenyth dares to attack you with a knife, and you go to take care of Jameson? What kind of
reasoning is that? Sashy, has your brain been eaten?”
Hearing Timothy’s words, Sasha suddenly realized.
Indeed, why should she feel obliged to thank Jameson for saving her from his sister’s assault?
Wasn’t it his responsibility?
If he hadn’t intervened, it would have been Gwenyth who got hurt, not her.
So why should she owe Jameson a favor now?
Though she understood all of this, Sasha’s expression went through several changes, and she finally
said, “Well, I’ve already promised them. It wouldn’t be right to break my

word now.
Fortunately, it was only for two days. After that, she planned to leave and wouldn’t even spare Jameson
a second glance.
