Chapter 1106
Upon hearing this, Jolie looked at him. "Can I refuse you?"
"Of course you can," Gavin replied without hesitation.
Jolie eyed him skeptically, finding it hard to believe he would give in so easily.
Gavin figured that even if she refused, there were still six obligations left to fulfill. Once those were over, their ties would be completely severed. He was confident that by then, she wouldn't occupy any more of his thoughts. In his life, emotions had never been a priority. Career and power were always paramount. He had set his goals clearly from a young age.
So even though he now realized he liked Jolie, he wouldn't do anything irrational for the sake of feelings. That wasn't who he was.
Jolie's eyes gradually brightened. She had assumed he was the kind of person who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted, resorting to forceful tactics if she disagreed. His rationality made things much simpler! "Mr. Cooper, I'm sorry," Jolie said after deliberating for a moment. "We're not very compatible."
"Alright."
The rejection was evident.
Gavin's expression remained neutral as he replied calmly, "There are still six obligations left. Don't forget them."
With that, he got up and left the hospital room.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Silence enveloped the room. Jolie let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that after six more encounters, they would have no connection at all. That was ideal.
Her gaze fell on the documents in front of her. Reaching out, she flipped through them. Gavin had conducted a thorough investigation, covering everything from lan's birth to events from his childhood. Every detail was meticulously documented. Jolie's lips twitched slightly.
This man... she really didn't know how to describe him.
She continued reading and noticed that after lan went abroad, he met a girl who was also studying overseas. They fell in love and started a relationship.
However, lan had never introduced her to his family. Even now, they were still together. In fact, right after attending her birthday banquet, lan had gone to see his girlfriend.
Tsk, tsk...
The investigation was far too detailed.
Does this man have OCD or something?
After finishing all the documents, Jolie felt no waves of emotion. After all, she didn't love lan, so she was indifferent to anything about him.
She tore the documents into pieces
and threw them into the trash can.
Feeling a pang of hunger, she
realized she was all alone in the
hospital room and couldn't move on her own.

The lighthearted ease on her face quickly faded, replaced by a deep sense of loneliness.
Just then, the door to the room opened.
Jolie looked up to see a woman she didn't recognize entering. The stranger was dressed in a caregiver's uniform.
"Miss Quin, hello. I'm your caregiver.
You can call me Jackie. Here's your dinner. Would you like to eat
something?" Jackie spoke with an et
warm smile, her kind demeanor radiating an inexplicable sense of comfort.
Jolie nodded. "Alright."
Then she asked, "Where were you earlier?"
"Huh?" Jackie blinked in confusion. "I just got here."
Jolie paused. "Just arrived?"
"Yes," Jackie confirmed with a
"A man came to the caregiver station earlier and asked for
someone. It happened to be my turn, so I came over."
Jolie tightened her grip on the spoon in her hand.
It was Gavin who had arranged for the caregiver.
So, the Quin family hadn't even bothered to get one for her? Was this part of their punishment for her?
At that moment, Jolie felt completely disheartened.
Jackie added, "Miss Quin, if you need anything, just let me know. I'll be staying here overnight."
"Alright," Jolie replied gloomily and began to eat.
Because of her injuries, her meals had to be light and bland. After finishing the meal, she felt no satisfaction, just a filled stomach.
