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,
Josephine felt deeply affected and was starting to nod her head like a bobblehead.Jay stared at Josephine coldly and she quickly lowered her head.Jay uttered, “Then, what do you want?”“I’m not sick,” Angeline said, “From now on, you have to treat me as a normal person.”Jay, “...”Josephine, “...”“Neurosis is also a sickness!” Jay said softly.“It’s just a somatic symptom disorder. I can overcome it,” Angeline said with determination. Jay was well aware of Angeline’s temper. When she was in a fit of anger, it was best to put up with it. “Okay, I promise you. But it’s late now. Shouldn’t you rest?”Angeline nodded.Angeline said to Josephine, “Josie, stay here for the night.”Josephine picked up her car key and tried to slip away quickly. “I won’t be the person who disturbs the newlywed couple. I won’t be bothering you two now, ciao.”Then, she timidly glanced at Jay before quickly fleeing the scene.Angeline said, “Look at how much you’ve terrified Josie.”Jay felt v
After falling on the steps for the nth time, Angeline was already exhausted and panting.Jay stepped forward and hugged her tightly without saying a word.Angeline felt Jay’s body trembling, and she gently stroked the man’s thick black hair. She smiled and comforted him. “Don’t feel sorry for me, Jaybie. Everything is difficult at first, so you have to have faith in me. Okay?”Jay nodded, but his words were lodged in his throat. He was too upset to utter a single word.Angeline was slightly startled as she sighed weakly. “You can carry me to the sofa, Jaybie.”Jay picked her up and gently placed her on the sofa. Then, he was choked up when he said, “Are you tired, Angeline?”Angeline smiled and said, “Not at all.”Jay’s chin rested on her head, and his big hand was gently stroking her back. There were inconsistencies in her breathing as if it was difficult for her to breathe. He could clearly sense it.“I actually think I’m fortunate, Jaybie. Think about it. My disease is not a
Now, there was only one meager hope left, which was hoping the local gang could bring them reliable information. Three days later, the local gang leader’s daughter vigorously charged into Jenson’s hotel under the escort of a group of bodyguards.“Who wanted to see my father?” The girl appeared relatively young, but she was wearing sunglasses and had a cigarette dangling from her bright red lips. Her appearance was pleasant, but she gave out a hooligan-like temperament. There was a group of bodyguards following her from behind.Jenson was seated on the sofa with his legs crossed. He looked at the unexpected guest with indifference.Zayne treated everyone that came as a guest, hence he enthusiastically inquired, “Who might your father be, young miss?”“Roy Comrade.”At this time, Storm whispered to Jenson, “Young Master, Roy Comrade is S Country’s local gang leader. He’s listed himself as someone from the chamber of commerce, but he’s secretly doing business with smugglers and t
Jenson's graceful body stiffened up unexpectedly.The name Monster had a well-known reputation.Mr. Cornelius from Legendary Youth Academy previously told him before that only two people with genuine talents had beaten him in the academy's history—him and Monster.However, Monster had graduated for so many years while Jenson was still a greenhorn. Hence, Monster's achievements were probably already much higher than his.What made Jenson even more uneasy was that before he left, the principal had one wish for him—that he would never cross paths with Monster.It seemed that Monster's path would inevitably cross Jenson's. That was the reason why the principal expressed such a thought.Jenson turned on the computer without delay and tried hacking into Legendary Youth Academy's network.The academy had an archive that contained top-secret information for all graduate students. Jenson was planning to retrieve Monster's information from it, but he never expected that when he clicked
From then onward, the young Jenson Ares set himself on the path to glory.A few days later, Shirley recovered from her illness and was about to be discharged from the hospital.Angeline was so excited that she could not sleep the night before. She pleaded with Jay, “Will you let me go to the hospital tomorrow to pick Shirley up, Jaybie? Please?”Jay pulled Angeline into his arms. “If you can sleep on time tonight, then I’ll consider letting you go to the hospital tomorrow.”Angeline quickly closed her eyes and stopped talking altogether.However, she was too excited even as she pretended that she had gone to bed. Her eyelashes continued to twitch and jump like a rabbit.Jay reached out and stroked her long eyelashes as if he was holding a paintbrush. He brushed them continuously before moving to her eyebrows, her eyes, the bridge of her nose, and lastly, her lips…His actions were causing Angeline to feel ticklish and she could not help but giggle.She suddenly opened her mouth
