Chapter 302

After ending the call, Oneida walked out of her bedroom and directly into Jackson's.

In the center of the room, Jackson lay on the bed, his eyes closed

The soft sunlight filtered through the dark curtains, casting a gentle glow on his handsome face.

Oneida tiptoed over, her gaze lingering on Jackson.

She watched silently.

Jackson's complexion seemed better, not as pale and weak as before, showing signs of recovery. This slightly eased her heart.

Suddenly, Jackson's eyes snapped open, startling Oneida.

This caught Oneida off guard.

His deep, dark eyes fixed on her, intense and unwavering.

""You're awake?" Oneida asked, startled.

"No" Jackson's voice was low and firm. "I was waiting for you."

Oneida froze, her face heating up slightly.

Feigning indifference, she asked, "Why were you waiting for me?" Jackson just stared at her, his expression soft. "I knew you'd come." Oneida hadn't expected him to see through her thoughts so easily.

After all, Jackson was injured because of her, lying here because of her.

At the thought of this, her expression softened. "You should rest if you're hurt. Don't wait for me."

Jackson continued to look at her, his striking features illuminated softly by the light.

"Are you free three days from now?" He asked, his voice calm and deep.

"Three days from now?' Oneida pondered.

Apart from classes, she didn't have any plans.

She nodded, "Yes."

"Could you spend that day with me?" Jackson's deep voice resonated in the room.

Oneida's eyes widened in surprise, her heart pounding.

"Sure." Oneida opened her mouth, her speech slightly clumsy. "I can."

Satisfied, Jackson closed his eyes.

He did not speak again, as if he had fallen asleep.

Chapter 302

Oneida watched him for a moment before leaving the room.

Three days from now, what was special about that day?

She frowned slightly, feeling her cheeks warm.

Just then, Victor approached with his usual composed demeanor

They almost bumped into each other.

"Mrs. Bane," Victor greeted her with a polite bow.

"Victor," Oneida asked curiously, "what's special about three days from now?"

"Three days from now?" Victor repeated, and then his eyes widened slightly.

Three days later, it was Jackson's birthday.

"Mrs. Bane, it's Mr. Bane's birthday," Victor replied without hesitation. Jackson's birthday?

Oneida was surprised, her eyes widening.

After a moment of silence, she said in a low voice, "I had forgotten about this."

She had never specifically noted Jackson's birthday.

In her previous life, she disliked Jackson and never cared to know such details.

In this life, she hadn't paid any attention to it either.

Oneida rarely celebrated her own birthday to begin with, and the Chaser family didn't celebrate it for her, so she wasn't one for such rituals.

Therefore, birthdays didn't hold much significance for her,

Being reminded by Victor, she realized the day Jackson wanted to spend with her was his birthday.

'What is he planning?' Oneida wondered.
