Chapter 272: Joker Awakened (1)
Jake told the staff members about the unconscious Triple M.
He lied to them by saying that he believed him to be drunk. He wouldn't expose what had occurred up there and that he was one of the perpetrators.
Jake didn't think that what he did was terrible.
It went against his principles, true. But he couldn't turn back time and still didn't regret his choice.
He could also see that Meredith was confused about it.
She had been silent all along since that incident. Her half-lidded eyes and absentminded countenance worried him the most.
Jake called the taxi back to the hotel.
He held Meredith's hand all the time to ensure she felt his presence and could rely on him.
It was a quiet drive.
Even the taxi driver couldn't draw a word from the couple. He dropped them at the hotel and pulled away with a curt farewell, confident he would never see the odd couple again.
