Angeline could not wait any longer and was dying to know Baby Robbie’s news. She said, “Why don’t you head to S Country, Jaybie? And come back before Sis Shirley is discharged. I think after she’s well, Josie and Zayne will be announcing their good news.”Jay replied, “It’s all up to you.”Angeline responded, “Then, go ahead and prepare your bags for departure.”Jay groaned at her. “Are you dying to send me away?”Angeline smiled. “I’ll reward you once you’ve returned.”“What kind of rewards?” Jay asked expectantly. Angeline answered, “I’ll give myself to you, okay?”Jay placed his big hands on her waist. “That’ll depend on your condition, no? After I leave, you’ll have to keep a positive frame of mind, eat and drink well every single day, and you’ll have to get lots of sleep. Alright?”“I know, I know.”Jay was anxious about Josephine taking care of Angeline. That night, he called Josephine over for practice in advance.Jay had written and sorted out his notes about Angelin
The very next day, Jay woke Josephine up early in the morning and gave her an earful of instructions before reluctantly leaving.Josephine proceeded to abruptly lay on the sofa and soon fell asleep again in a daze. When Josephine naturally woke up once more, she was almost scared out of her wits to see the clock pointing to nine o’clock in the morning.The chef who Jay invited had been ringing the doorbell outside for two hours, but Josephine failed to realize it. She anxiously ran to open the villa’s door and let the chef in. The chef knew that her time to prepare breakfast was relatively short, so she hurriedly rushed toward the kitchen as well.Josephine dashed to Angeline’s bedroom upstairs and pushed the bedroom door open. She then saw Angeline staring at the ceiling with her eyes wide open.Josephine rushed over and knelt beside Angeline’s bed. She was profoundly blaming herself. “I’m truly sorry, Sis Angeline. I overslept.”Angeline smiled and said, “I’ve guessed it alrea
It was as if Josephine had received a pardon, and she almost jumped up with joy.Jay suddenly added viciously before hanging up the phone, “When you change Angeline’s clothes in the future, don’t touch her body.”Josephine ridiculed him. “You’re crazy possessive… and not to mention paranoid.”After hanging up the phone, Josephine complained to Angeline. “Sis Angeline, how are we supposed to live these few days? There’s a surveillance camera in this room, and it feels like my big brother’s eyes are staring at me at all times. He knows my every move. This is a sad life.”Angeline comforted. “You can merely pretend to listen when he’s nagging. Anyway, he’ll only return in ten days or so. By the time he comes back, you can slip away untouched.”Josephine looked at Angeline and uttered sourly, “You’re the only one who dares to disobey him. Big Brother is reluctant to punish you.”Angeline smiled and said, “I have my illness to thank for that.”Jay had successfully spoiled Josephine a
Not long after, Jenson returned home.He held a micro USB flash drive in his hand and greeted Jay before getting busy at his computer desk.Zayne immediately moved over to Jenson’s side. “Have you found anything, Jens?”Jenson ignored him.Zayne looked at Jenson dejectedly. “Kid, can’t you be a little warmer to your uncle? I’ve seen you talking a lot around your mommy and daddy.”Jenson stayed silent. Zayne was long-winded and continued, “We’re relatives, so don’t treat me so differently. Mm?”Jenson replied coldly, “That’s not the reason.”Zayne was puzzled. “Then, what’s the reason?”“It’s your IQ!”Zayne felt like he had been beaten up to death.It took him a long time to recover. “You mean, you talk a lot with your family members because they have high IQs and you have nothing to say to me because I have a low IQ?”Jenson nodded. Zayne was perplexed. “Don’t you think you should do the opposite? People with high IQs won’t need you to speak too much, right? Only people
Zayne opened his mouth slightly in shock. “How do you know that?”“Because I’m a hacker,” said Jenson.Zayne was aghast. “You must’ve violated many of the justice systems’ networks to investigate their identity information. Jenson, the things that you’re doing are against the…”Jenson gave him a stern look. “Do you have any evidence?”Seeing that Jenson was brimming with confidence, Zayne relaxed by a whole lot.“Then, that’s alright.” Zayne nodded.Jay frowned in contemplation. He was incredibly selfish in protecting shortcomings and was reluctant to let his wife and children get involved. Hence, he came up with a shrewd idea.“Provide the information of these six people to the Intelligence Bureau. We help them do their jobs, and they help us in finding these people. It’s the best of both worlds.”Jenson smiled and said, “Good idea.”Zayne stood at the side and listened to the shrewd father-son conversation. He felt the heebie-jeebies.He would rather offend Hades than this
Angeline had finally gotten out of Jay’s strict control, so she begged the kitchen aunty to make her a bowl of instant noodles. However, she did not think that Jay would question her so soon.Fortunately, Angeline was quick-witted. She replied to him in a normal tone, “Chicken noodles with some mushrooms.”Fearing that he would get suspicious, she added, “There was minced chicken, mushrooms, and other vegetables. It was delicious, and I finished it up real quick.”Jay nodded his head. “That’s good to hear.”Jay questioned Angeline’s clothing attire, meals, and sleeping schedule comprehensively. Angeline was able to answer everything impeccably. Then, a series of sweet talks began.“Do you miss me yet?” Jay asked abruptly.Josephine, who was listening from the side, had shivers down her spine when she heard these words. “Big Brother, you’ve been gone for a day. It’s been a single day.”Angeline nodded tearfully. “I do. I miss you very much.” It looked like she missed him from the
Josephine glanced at the waiting room and noticed that the people in the VIP lounge were getting lesser. All the family members must have gone inside the ward to visit the patients.Josephine did not feel like making Angeline feel bad as well, so she accepted her suggestion. “Sis Angeline, I’ll be right back. You must wait for me right here.”“Go ahead.”Josephine ran forward at lightning speed. Yet, a few seconds later, Angeline felt a pair of hands touching the back of her wheelchair.“Who’s there?” Angeline asked warily.“Sis.” A low yet malevolently flattering voice was heard. “Sera?”Sera’s voice penetrated Angeline’s ears like a lingering soul. “What a coincidence, Sis. We meet again.”“Why are you here?”“Thanks to that silly Josephine who gave my mother a VIP card, I was able to admit myself into Grand Asia Hospital without any obstruction.” Angeline realized that Sera had been admitted into Grand Asia Hospital under Josephine’s name.“How did you become like this,
Carefree Garden, 11 o’clock at night.The housekeepers had already left, and only Josephine and Angeline were in the huge villa. They were both sitting on the sofa.Angeline was curled up in the corner, and there was no expression on her face. It was as if she had fallen into deep meditation. Josephine sat beside her, crying silently.When the villa’s door was pushed open, a cool breeze spread into the living room.Jay appeared in front of Josephine without warning. When she saw him, the look of self-blame on her face became even worse. “I’m sorry.”Jay saw how reddened Josie’s eyes were and was hesitant to blame her. When his sharp gaze shifted to Angeline’s body, he was immediately filled with distress. The luggage in his hand slid to the ground. He dragged his solemn feet and sauntered toward Angeline.Angeline thought that Josephine’s apology was for her, and she felt that Josie must have been frightened because of her. As such, she sighed and said sorrowfully, “Josie,
