Chapter 325
The atmosphere in the silent ward was suffocating.
Jay and Zoe simply stared at each other, with Zoe's gaze cold to the bone.
Her loathing and distaste for him was just too obvious.
She really loathed him-it was as if he could cause every type of tragedy!
If he did not get her a stunt double and did not allow that accident to happen on his film set, she would
never have been exposed and she would still be a Levine!
Jay must be her jinx! She never had it easy ever since she met him!
"Rest well," Jay said calmly then, trying to offer her comfort as if the gash on her forehead did not hurt.

No, she could accept anyone's goodwill, but not his.
After Jay left Zoe's ward, he started to teeteer backward soon, and John quickly caught him. "Are you
alright?"
Jay's head was spinning, and it took a long while for him to recover. "I'm fine."
"How much blood did you give?" John asked.
"Not much," Jay replied.
John did not press him. "Let's get that cut sorted out."
"Yeah."
They headed to the clinic, and as the doctor bandaged it, John said beside him. "Even after everything
that has happened to Zoe, my only option is to side with my aunt."
Jay stayed silent, but he was hardly approving it-he just had no reason to argue.
"Even if this is a feud among the elders and Zoe is innocent, she's the key to this whole mess," John
said, breaking things down just then. "She's involved despite her innocence, and my aunt can't be
faulted for being cruel either. Anyone in her shoes would never be able to accept their own daughter
suffering out there while someone else's child enjoyed all the riches and pleasures in life. And it had to
be the daughter of her father's mistress-a child born out of his adultery."
Jay nodded.
He understood Nancy's thirst for revenge. No one would be able to accept such a blow so quickly.
"But I'm not here to tell you to stay away from Zoe. I'm just telling you that you have to be prepared for

"Yeah," Jay replied.
From John's perspective, it was only reasonable that he considered the bigger picture-the Levine
family.
If he sided with Zoe, there would be internal strife.
And family harmony should always be prioritized above all, and if there was any form of strife, their
hearts would shatter.
In fact, the Levines were strong because they showed solidarity.
Mutual respect, mutual concern, making sacrifices for one another and depending on each other.
That was the most vital reason why the fortunes of the Levines had never declined across decades.
