Chapter 58: Chapter 58

Jonea's mind was already wandering all over the place.

"You want to sell me? You want to make me a whore in the club tonight?" Jonea sounded very emotional and couldn't contain her fear.

"What?" asked Jay, no less surprised.

He had not expected the girl before him to think that far. The old man suddenly laughed.

"You think I'm going to make you a bar girl? Your expectations were too high, Young Lady. Look at you! You absolutely do not meet the qualifications to be a barmaid."

Jonea looked down at herself and suddenly crossed her arms over her chest. She glanced at Jay curtly.

"You don't think I deserve to be called a woman, do you?" Jonea was a little offended.

"No, I didn't mean physically," Jay said. He was still laughing. "Well, you are beautiful. You also have perfect proportions, as long as you do a little makeup and wear a dress that fits. However, it's not about appearance. Your character… you are completely unsuited to be a bar girl."

Jonea breathed a sigh of relief. "Then, what work should I do for you?"

"Incidentally, one of our staff who served as a courier could not attend. Whereas today there is a package that must be sent for one of our VVIP customers."

"I don't think it's that hard," Jonea muttered. "I used to do a delivery job at a fried chicken restaurant. I'm good at reading maps and finding addresses. I'll do!"

Jay clapped his hands on his thighs and nodded. "But, this time, your task might be a bit difficult. This is completely different from a fried chicken delivery job."

Jonea narrowed her eyes, then suddenly opened her eyes in surprise. "Could you ask me to send a forbidden package?"

After Jonea left the adult men's club, Jay and his two bodyguards visited the cell where Edison was held captive.

As soon as he saw Jay appear there, Edison immediately rose from his seat on the floor and shook the metal bars that locked him up. He screamed and looked so angry at Jay.

"What did you do to Jonea? Don't involve her in our problems. Jay, please… let her go! Please don't disturb her."

Edison almost sounded like he was about to cry. He couldn't imagine what hardships Jonea would have to face because of him.

"Does that girl mean much to you, Edison? I didn't expect you to be so reactive when she's just a human girl–the lowest caste. This is not at all like your usual self. I know you hate and disgust the human race, let alone a woman."

Edison shook the bars again and tried to grab Jay in his arms.

"Shut the fuck up, Jay Carter! I will kill you and crush your bones if he gets hurt, Beta Bastard!"

But no matter how far Ed reached out, Jay remained out of reach. Edison was getting frustrated and angry.

"Oh, I believe you can do that," Jay replied casually.

Jay ordered his men to show Edison a videotape on the tablet. The big man kept a safe distance from Edison but offered him the tablet he was carrying.

"Why did you involve Jonea in your illegal transaction?" shouted Ed. "She… has nothing to do with us! She doesn't know anything about our business either."

"Oh, don't get me wrong, Ed. I didn't force her to do any of that. I just offered her a choice, and she agreed."

Jay shrugged his shoulders.

"Because she thought it would free you from our contractual agreement. She really is a naive girl, isn't she? I like her. Even though the only one who can free you from that contract is yourself, Edison Fuller."

Jay glared at Ed.

"You only have 30 minutes before this girl gets into trouble. Decide now. Do you want to sign this contract or not? If you sign it, I will release this girl from the duty of delivering illegal goods to customers."

The other bodyguard handed Ed a document signed by the first party. Only Edison's signature as a second party is still vacant. The bodyguard also held out a pen for Ed to use.

"Don't overthink. Time keeps running. I'll leave this contract and the tablet here so you can monitor the girl's movements. And remember, Ed, there are werewolf police at the other end, ready to arrest the girl if this transaction gets exposed."

"You… son of a bitch, Jay! You called the police on purpose and framed Jonea?"

Jay and his two men left Edison alone with the contract and tablet showing Jonea's current activities.

"Remember, you have no less than 30 minutes. Just a little late; no one can guarantee the girl's safety. If not brought in by the police, then our opponents will definitely kill her."

Ed knelt in the cell with sweat beading on his temples. He kept watching Jonea's activities through the tablet screen before him. Everything happens in real-time.

Jonea arrived at the place where the transaction took place. She was delivered by an SUV driven by Jay's men.

"Get off here and complete your task. If something happens, then you alone should be responsible. You can't get us involved, or our deal will be canceled," Jay's personal driver threatened.

Before leaving, Jay's personal staff make up and dress Jonea to be a beautiful girl, even if she looks a little naughty.

Jonea wore a slightly revealing evening gown, long, wavy curly hair, and oversized makeup. They deliberately did it to disguise Jonea's natural face and make her look slightly more mature. They had to change Jonea's appearance as closely as possible to the courier making transactions that day.

"Are you sure it's here?"

Jonea looked out the SUV window and saw a not-so-big hospital on the outskirts of town. Jonea knew the hospital well. Because Miller had been hospitalized there for some time.

"Yes, our VIP customer is being treated at this hospital. You don't have to ask much. Just do it according to the boss's instructions. Remember, don't make a mistake! Or you will end up in jail and lose your chance to save your lover!"

"He is not my lover!" cried Jonea.

The girl stuttered when the men dropping her off tossed her dark glasses and a cardboard bag with many things usually taken to visit the sick.

Jonea got out of the car. Her long legs can be seen between the slits of her thigh-high dress. She also wore high heels, which was quite troublesome.

The SUV left Jonea alone. The girl started walking while carrying a cardboard bag containing a package she had to deliver to the customer. The box was neatly arranged and hidden among gifts to visit people who were sick.

Once again, Jonea peered into the cardboard bag. There was a cup of warm porridge, a fresh apple, and a small thermos of warm herbal drink.

Jonea needed to find out where they put 'that thing.' But what is clear, Jonea must really convey the entire contents of the bag to the customer without losing a single part of it.

She entered the hospital grounds. From the direction of the parking lot, Jonea saw a police patrol car drive out. Jonea was nervous about not playing. She immediately turned her face away from the patrol car. Jonea is very paranoid.

"What if the police really know what I'm doing here? What if they check the things I'm carrying? What if I get caught and thrown in prison?"

Jonea was very scared when she entered the main door of the hospital. As soon as she saw the lobby, she suddenly thought of Ed, who was locked in the nightclub's basement.

'Just this once,' thought Jonea. 'I know this is wrong, but it's the only best effort I can give to help Ed.'

After inhaling and exhaling many times to calm herself down, Jonea finally stepped into the hospital lobby.

She took the elevator to the fifth floor according to the instructions. When she was in the elevator, her memories of Miller being treated at the hospital flashed back, as well as fun memories of when she met Elmar.

"At least those memories can decipher my tension a bit. And now I must focus on my task."

The elevator door opens. Jonea stood in the hallway on the fifth floor of the VIP patient care ward. The place is so serene. Hardly anyone passing by. As she walked, Jonea kept looking at each room's door numbers.

"Room 505," Jonea muttered as she walked down the hall.

When almost approaching the destination room, Jonea ran into a nurse on duty at night.

The girl immediately lowered her head and pretended to check the contents of her bag. The nurse only glanced at Jonea and didn't suspect her at all.

After the nurse left, Jonea immediately headed to room 505. She was about to knock on the door, but from inside the room, Jonea heard footsteps approaching and was about to come out.

The girl panicked. She immediately retreated and looked for a place to hide.

Jonea pretended to be standing in room 504 and just turned the knob. Open. The girl came in even though she didn't know whose inpatient room it was.

When Jonea entered, someone greeted her and said, "Here comes my future wife, Mom!"

'WHAT?' Jonea screamed to herself.
