Rules of Engagement

Chapter 239 A Deep Appreciation

Jason also took the opportunity of the exclusive interview to get close to Elsa. It turned out that the power of Johnny was not enough to guarantee that Elsa was not involved at all. After all, Elsa was one of the most important reporters in the newspaper office at that time. Even if she was not involved in the case of Cindy and the Qin Company, it was hard to guarantee that she would be involved in other things because of the president's relationship.

Therefore, it was Jason's efforts that made Elsa completely ignore the affairs of the newspaper office. He exaggerated and strengthened the importance of the interview to him. He put pressure on Johnny to send the most capable Elsa to the interview, so as to prevent Elsa from being involved in the event of the newspaper office.

Through the contact with Elsa, her gentle and intellectual personality and style of doing things were deeply appreciated by Jason. She was supposed to be abandoned by him early, but she was the most obedient and sensible one among his children. In Jason's eyes, all the efforts of Elsa, coupled with the guilt for her and her mother, it was inevitable for Jason to show some obvious concern and care for Elsa step by step, which completely exceeded the normal relationship.

"It turned out that Elsa's mother gave birth to her and didn't want her. Elsa is a poor girl. She shouldn't have paid for my mistakes, nor should she bear the mistakes and grudges of the previous generation. But as her father, I didn't plan to have her at the beginning, so I am not qualified to be her father. I just feel guilty. I shouldn't have made such a mistake and caused so many people's pain. Let the whole family suffer, and let Elsa bear these things that shouldn't have happened..." Jason tried his best to speak in a calm tone, but his hands were slightly trembling beside his trousers, as if he was extremely cold, and his body could not help trembling.

Soren kept silent, which made the atmosphere very strange. After listening to Jason's description, many things became clear. It was no wonder that Elsa and Candice looked alike. It was no wonder that he had been missing the familiar little baby in the photo, and had feelings for Candice when he was a

little older. At first, some people thought that he liked Elsa because she looked like Candice, but they didn't know that he liked Candice at that time because Candice had a shadow similar to Elsa.

They walked around a circle, and Elsa was still with him in the end.

Soren thought a lot and didn't know how Elsa to face these when she woke up. He couldn't help but walk towards Elsa. Her little face was half buried in the quilt, as pale as a piece of paper. Although she had generally calmed down, he could see that her mood was not very stable. She tightly grasped the corner of the quilt, and her fingertips were pale.

From time to time, she would wake up slightly and then close her eyes, which made people doubt if she really woke up or not. Soren leaned sideways and held her in his arms, so that Elsa could really calm down. But her face was still pale, as if she had experienced a lot of things and could not be recovered. Perhaps there were other hidden facts, or else Elsa wouldn't have been like this when she knew her origin.

But Soren had asked, and that was all Jason knew. Now Soren hoped that Johnson and Blanche could come here as soon as possible. There were a lot of things that might be clearer to them. Only when he knew everything clearly could he relieve the depression in Elsa's heart.

Jason had been waiting at the door, watching the latest situation of Elsa. He stood there for a long time, and there were calls from his family urging him. He was also very anxious about his work. It was the first time for him to face such a work and family situation. Jason didn't know how to face it.

"You can go back first, Uncle Jason," Soren said gently. He didn't want to make a comment on Jason's matter, nor did he have much say in it. However, he was very unhappy with his attitude towards family and affection. He not only hurt Elsa, but also hurt the whole Qiao family.

Jason had to leave and walked towards another building of the hospital. Candice had a fierce quarrel with Yassin, and she just had a miscarriage. At this time, she stayed in the hospital and was washing

her face with tears. Sitting next to her, Shirley kept comforting her and persuading her to eat something. Candice kept shaking her head, her face turning pale.

Caspar was so angry that he smashed the door and ran out. Shirley stopped him in a hurry, "Caper? Caper? This child..."

She followed him for a few steps, and Caspar had already disappeared from her sight. She wanted to chase after her son, but she couldn't let go of her daughter, so she turned around. Coincidentally, Jason came back at this time. With a slight dissatisfaction on her face, Shirley said, "You stay with the servant to take care of our daughter first! I'll go to see Caper!"

Then she ran out in a hurry.

Jason felt very guilty to the whole family and to Elsa. At this moment, his face was full of wrinkles, as if he had suddenly grown five years older. He walked to Candice, held her hand and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Candice curled her lips and threw herself into his arms, crying sadly, "Dad, Dad!"

"Honey, don't cry. It doesn't matter even if you lose the baby. You are still young and have a bright future. It's the same if you recover and have a new one in the future." Jason comforted his daughter in his arms. At that moment, he thought of Elsa lying on the bed. Was this the so-called karma? He had sex with Jenna for a moment when he was confused. Jenna was so aggressive that he asked doctor Xu to deceive her to abort the child. However, in order to make up for his evil thoughts, did God let Elsa marry a real good man and have a happy family, and let Candice suffer a lot?

But when he thought that Elsa was still in bed and didn't know how she was doing, Jason became more worried. Why did God let the children of the next generation take the responsibility for the mistakes of the previous generation? If possible, he was really willing to trade himself for the pain of his two daughters and bear the torture himself.

Candice began to sob and then cried again, "Dad, don't scold Yassin. He didn't mean to do that. I just blame him for not accompanying me. I quarreled with him for a few more minutes before I hurt the fetus. He didn't make any mistake."

"You still protect him even at this time!" Jason was a little angry.

Candice just cried without saying anything. At that time, she really gave up Soren for Yassin. In the colorful circle where Yassin lived, he was romantic and sentimental, and the nine hundred and ninety- nine roses he changed in front of her were something that she thought that Soren would never give her. But when she was really with Yassin, she found that Yassin could give her romance and surprise, but could never give her a sense of security and peace.

But she still couldn't let go of Yassin and Soren. Maybe the greedy girl would never understand the real meaning of the old saying "you can't have your cake and eat it". She would never know what it meant to have something after giving up something. That was why she felt so unfair to life and always felt that life was lacking.

Candice was still crying, leaning on her father's shoulder. She couldn't help but think about Yassin and Soren. Jason had to soften his voice and comforted his daughter kindly.

When Caspar ran out, he rushed directly to a bar and caught Yassin, who was drinking, and beat him up. After that, Yassin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with disdain and said, "I've been to the hospital. It was Candice who kicked me out! Mom asked me to come out first and not to annoy Candice! What else can I do? Should I die to apologize?!"

"Bastard!" Caspar said fiercely. He also knew that his sister was too spoiled. He couldn't do anything about it. The two of them were both wrong. If he thought carefully, he was afraid that Candice was the one who made a bigger mistake.

"Brother, I'm as painful as Candice thinking of losing the child. Can you understand my feelings? I have to attend social activities every day for Candice and our future. Candice came from a rich family as the Qiao family. Now that I have married her, I can't just stand by and watch her suffer together with me, right?" Yassin softened his attitude and even made people feel a little humble.

Caspar withdrew his fist and said, "Forget it. You can go to check on Candice now. It's natural that she is in a bad mood, but you can't just ignore it."

"Yes, I know, brother," said Yassin. Caspar took a look at Yassin's friends. They were all in the media circle, and some of them were quite familiar with him. His anger was alleviated a little. In the past few years, Yassin hadn't had any scandal, and he didn't have any close female friends around him. Caspar had investigated him a lot. In this regard, Caspar was at ease for him.

"I was angry because you were still in the bar at this time. If you are not convinced, you can fight back." Caspar smiled.

"Then how can I win? Are you trying to make me suffer more in vain?" Yassin couldn't help laughing.

When the others saw that they were still at loggerheads at the beginning, now they calmed down and put their hands on each other's shoulders. Someone immediately poured a glass of wine and said with a smile, "Mr. Qiao, it's rare to see you here. I have to propose a toast to you tonight! Mr. Qiao, you must drink it!"

Caspar was used to this kind of occasion, so he took the glass and drank it.

"Mr. Qiao, you are really courageous and brave!" Others couldn't help but praise him. Then he called several beautiful women to accompany Caspar. However, Caspar was not in a good mood tonight. He just drank a few glasses of wine and was about to leave.
