Chapter 1137 I’m Sorry
“Let me take a look.” Janet didn’t believe him. She pulled on his hand and insisted that he sat on the bed with his back facing her.
The ointment was indeed effective and his back wasn’t red anymore.
Janet slowly averted her gaze toward Mason’s neck and her finger twitched instinctively. I cannot be soft-hearted anymore; otherwise, I’ll screw things up.
She slowly pulled out the syringe from her sleeves and was about to stab it toward Mason’s neck.
Perceiving the silence from his back, Mason was about to turn around to check on her.
“Don’t move,” Janet ordered coldly.
All of a sudden, Mason felt a piercing pain on his back. By the time he realized what was going on, the syringe in Janet’s hand was already emptied.
The temperature of the surroundings decreased at once as he stared at her coldly. “What did you inject into my body?”
“A strong anesthetic,” Janet replied apathetically. Her previous gentleness ceased to exist as if she was merely putting on an act just now.
Mason could feel his body turning cold. However, his heart felt colder than his entire body as he croaked in a deep voice, “A strong anesthetic?”
Immediately, Janet threw the syringe into the rubbish bin and started stuffing clothes from the wardrobe into the suitcase. At the same time, she replied, “Yes. I’m afraid a normal anesthetic might not work on you, so I decided to go with a stronger one.”
“Why?” Mason pressed his lips against each other tightly as his vision became blurry. This was the first time he questioned her with such a tone. Not only could he not understand the reason behind her actions, but he was also aggrieved and heartbroken.
Janet paused for a while before continuing to pack calmly. “Don’t worry. The anesthetic won’t harm your body. It will only make you sleep a little longer.”
“Am I asking about this?!” Mason bawled as his alluring eyes had already turned cold and ruthless at this moment. He stared at Janet and laughed grimly. “Are you going to face Corey alone? Do you not plan to bring me along?”
Janet’s fingers became stiff, but she pursed her lips and remained silent.
“Answer me!”
“Yes, I’m planning to go alone. Have a good sleep at home.”
Mason was even more enraged upon hearing her answer. He spat through gritted teeth, “So, ever since you proposed the plan to me, you’ve already decided to not include me. Am I right?”
Janet did not answer him. At that time, she had indeed wavered. Nevertheless, they still agreed to go together toward the end. However, she had that same dream again that night. In addition, after all that had happened today, she didn’t dare to put his life at stake all the more.
The effect of this strong anesthetic would only last 24 hours. Even if he was not seen for 24 hours, the others would only think he was spending time with Janet and would not suspect anything. She only needed 24 hours to return from Yobril. So, she decided to make a bet.
Mason kept staring fixedly at her as he waited indignantly for an answer from her.
After she was done packing, Janet stood up and smiled faintly. “You’re right. I’ve not planned to bring you along from the moment I made the proposal. I just gave in out of resignation toward the end. You knew this—I’ve always been a good liar.”
Janet met Mason’s eyes and smiled ruefully. All of a sudden, Mason felt sore and painful in his chest as if something had hit it. He felt like his heart was going to split in half. Narrowing his eyes, he asked coldly, “Janet Jackson, what do you take me for?” Why does she always ditch me when we’re faced with danger or difficulties? What exactly does she take our relationship for?
Janet paused for a while, and her fingers trembled as she felt distressed. “Please don’t overthink this.”
Hearing her response, Mason sneered coldly, “What’s done is done. Go ahead and leave.”
Pursing her lips, Janet opened the windows and was about to jump out of it. However, just then, Mason’s deep voice emerged from behind again. “If you leave this house, we’re through.”
Janet’s breath hitched for a moment. Then, she closed her eyes and said, “I’m sorry.”
