Chapter 125
Back at the Snider group, Shane was not sure if he heard Calvert right.
“Mr. Snider, are you sure you want to withdraw the bid?” he asked Calvert.

Back then, Calvert had clearly said that he was determined to win the bid, and just as he was about to succeed, he gave up. He did not honor that firm ambition of his.
Calvert nodded. “Do I need to say it twice?”
Shane shook his head quickly. “No, I shall handle it right away. How about the upcoming business trip? What is your latest plan?”
“Have you forgotten everything I said before?”
Shane felt cornered. Of course, he remembered everything Calvert said. However, if Calvert had a change of mind and Shane failed to clarify, the latter would still be in the wrong.
Calvert blinked his eyes a few times and uttered, “Except for the bidding, everything will be as usual. What is the latest news of the informant?”
“The relevant information has all been sent to Shadow Ventures. I am not sure how it is being handled at the moment, but I heard that the informant has been imprisoned and sentenced to a few years.”
Calvert hummed lightly in acknowledgment and waved his hand, indicating for Shane to leave.
[Jade is awake. You can come and visit her when you are free. Thank you.]
Calvert’s phone on the table vibrated. The caller ID showed an unknown number.
The next second, his phone rang.
“Hi, it is me, Caspian.”
Calvert was not surprised. The moment he saw the message, Caspian’s face appeared in his head.
He held the phone with his craftfully defined hand. He showed emotion and his stony voice had a hint of impatience. “What is the matter?”
Caspian hesitated for a long time before making this call. The doctor had just come to inform Caspian that Jade was not in a good condition and her will to live was not strong. It was best to keep her optimistic.
Otherwise, if she got on an emotional roller coaster, it was very kely that she would do something to harm herself again.
After thinking about it, Caspian felt that Calvert played a very important role here. He was not hoping for Calvert and Jade to become a couple. He just hoped that Calvert could console Jae.
Caspian knew very well that it was impossible for Calvert to be mantically involved with Jade, but there should still be a possibility of being friends.
“Can you come and see Jade? She has always listened to you. Can you advise her not to do anything stupid again? You guys were very close in the past. It would be great if you could help out this time.” Caspian lowered his stance.
He genuinely cared about this sister of his.
Calvert pondered for a few seconds. “It is useless for me to talk to her. She chooses how to live her life. It has nothing to do
with me.”

Caspian fell silent. He did not expect Calvert to be so cold and heartless.

There was a long silence by Calvert. He then slowly opened his mouth, and the bitterness in his voice intensified. “Is there anything else?”
“Just come and see her for a while. I owe you a favor. I promise to do one thing you tell me to, anything.” Caspian took a deep breath and made another concession.
In the end, Caspian finally agreed.
At the hospital, Jade’s face was as pale as usual.
She leaned against the hospital bed, and her wrist was wrapped in bandages. Her gaze would drift out of the window and stare at a certain spot in a daze from time to time.
Calvert pushed open the door and walked in. Jade did not notice him until he spoke. She came back to her senses and her eyes gleamed. “Calvert, you’re here.”
His eyes turned to her and he gave her a quick, cold, and indifferent glance. “Why did you hurt yourself?”
