Chapter 70 Give It A Try
Corynn awoke and noticed a new notification on her phone. Curious, she tapped it open and was confronted with
a zoomed-in intimate photo.
In the image, Amanda's eyes sparkled with a victorious glearn.
From what could be seen, Elliot seemed to be completely unclothed.
Corynn shut her phone, maintaining a neutral face, yet she couldn’t suppress an inward snicker.
Just a day ago, Elliot had been declaring his affection for her, and yet here he was, evidently with Amanda by
nightfall.
How absurd it all was!
How could she have let herself trust Elliot's promises once more after so many letdowns?
Corynn shook her head slightly. A scornful laugh escaped her lips as she derided her own gullibility.
But then, she had decisively turned Elliot down recently. Why should she be bothered about whom he was with
now, particularly since Amanda was engaged to him?
Their being together was, after all, to be expected.
As Corynn pushed aside her lingering thoughts of Elliot, she felt a weight lift from her chest.

Her mood lightened up just as the nurse cin to change her bandages. Shortly afterward, Jason showed up,
carrying breakfast.
Rain or shine, he made it a point to visit her daily. He always brought with him a meal he'd prepared himself.
Corynn had cto appreciate his culinary skills. Nibbling on a slice of bread, she remembered something
Shirley had mentioned the other day.
“What's the matter?” Jason inquired, noticing her distraction.
Corynn paused, then ventured softly, “Maybe we should give it a try.”
Her voice was so low it was almost inaudible. Feeling a mix of gratitude and obligation, she found it hard to
meet his gaze.
Jason stood still, frozen. Despite Corynn’s soft voice, every word was crystal clear to him.
“Maybe we should give it a try.”
Those words resonated within him.
Seeing no immediate reaction from Jason, Corynn misinterpreted his silence as reluctance. She looked up,
preparing to retract her suggestion, thinking it might have cacross as too abrupt.

It was the first tCorynn had ever heard him sound so vulnerable. The way he reacted was so intense. And by
the sound of it, he was ecstatic.
His overwhelming happiness made her feel uncertain.
Jason soon let go of her, his face alight with a new resolve. “Today is a day that we should never forget. We have
to celebrate. You deserve the best, Corynn, more than anyone else.”
He kissed her hand softly and then stood. “Wait here for me, Corynn,” he said before quickly leaving the room.
Corynn started to call after him, but he was already gone.
With a rueful smile, she looked up to find Shirley observing her, an amused smirk playing on her lips.
