Chapter 96 When Love Is off the Table
“Teangive it a try if Mr. Ford can afford the price.”
No one would turn down money after all.
She was just as practical as anyone else.
They could talk about business if love was off the table.
“I think about it,” jordan said before hanging up.
Sabrina lowered her gaze and stared at the phone. She had expected Jordan to agree to pay for Valerie’s treatment immediately. It was to her surprise that he
hesitated.
“It seems that Jordan isn’t completely indifferent about those things.”
Who could have imagined that the once pure and flawless woman in his heart tumed out to be someone with a sordid past? His entire worldview built in over 20 years must ve been shaken.
Anna added, “Men have a thing for virginity. How would he not care?”
Even women like her would care it a man had been with other women before, let alone a man who was at the pinnacle of power
Someone like that had their unyielding principles and boundaries.
Zayn raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, “Sabrina, do women truly care about the first man that they lost their virginity to?”
Otherwise, how could someone as cold and heartless as her suddenly falter when facing Jordan?
“It depends.”
The first impression mattered more to her. Jordan had surely satisfied her with his look and body.
At the very least, he was the first man who had made her heart flutter.
She handed the phone back to Zayn. “I need your help on something
Valerie was wheeled out of the operating coom
She glanced around andously until she spotted Jordan. Only then did her heart settle
“Jordan..” She extended her hand toward him. He would always take her hand and comfort her whenever she did this in the past. However, she miscalculated this

Jordan walked up to her. He glanced at her with an unusually solemn expression.
“Don’t let it happen again!”
Valene instinctively shrank back when she met his gaze as tears quickly welled up in her eyes. “Jordan, I’m sony.”
Get some rest.”
The doctor was about to wheel her to the ward
Valerie noticed that Jordan wasn’t following and asked, “Jondan.. Aren’t you going to stay with me!”
“I need to discuss a few things with the doctor.”
“I’ll wait for you. Please make sure to come over lates.”
Jordan turned his gaze away from ber and looked at the doctor. “How’s her condition?”
“It shouldn’t leave a noticeable scar as long as the wound is properly treated afterward with the help of a scar removal cream.”
Valerie andously stared at the door once she was back in her ward.
A smile immediately spread across her face when she finally saw Jordan. She immediately struggled to sit up. “Jalan, I thought you left!”
Jordan walked to her side and said in a low voice, “Didn’t tell you to rest? Lie down!*
Valerie listened to him and laid back down. Her eyes reddened. “Jordan, I’m sorry. I didn’t tell you about my infertility. I only found out recently, I couldn’t accept it when I knew about it, so ..
Tears streamed down from the comers of her eyes, as if the news was a heavy blow to her
“I panicked. I know Mrs. Ford Senior has always wanted a great–grandchild. She never liked me. I’m worried she’ll do everything she can to keep us apart once she finds out I can’t have children.
“Jordan, don’t you feel strange about the entice situation?«
Jordan’s expression remained calm no matter how much she said. His deep and dark eyes made her feel increasingly uneasy and anxious
She felt as if he was able to see right through her.
She extruded her hand and pretly tugged at his sleeve as she choked. “Jordan, why aren’t you saying anything? You’se scating eh :
