Angeline was out of danger very soon. When the doctor came out of the rescue room, Jay almost staggered as he rushed over. “How’s my wife?”The doctor looked exhausted, “Mr. Ares, we gave the madam a full-body examination, and only her blood test results aren’t out just yet. From her other tests, there seem to be no major issues at the moment. This time around, it was her panic attack. However…”When the doctor paused, Jay could feel his heart tightening up.“What is it?”“Even though Madam doesn’t seem to have any major health problems, there seem to be risks with her current safety. She’s severely underweight and often confused. I think that Madam’s anxiety and depression may have reached the most serious level, and she may develop auditory hallucinations next. Her sub-health state is truly worrying.”“Auditory hallucinations? What then?” Jay asked fearfully.When it was related to Angeline’s health, he had to understand everything down to the tee.The doctor replied, “Many
Cole shrugged back at her, motioning that he had nothing to do with this.Spencer had not seen Mrs. Yorks for a long time. Now that they were reunited, he noticed how much thinner Mrs. Yorks had gotten and also that calm temperament of hers after becoming independent. Spencer was slightly dazzled by her. Among all his women, Mrs. Yorks’ beauty, knowledge, and temperament were things that the others did not have.Aunt Sandra was upset when she saw Spencer looking at Mrs. Yorks so affectionately. She started mocking Mrs. Yorks, saying, “Oh, it’s been quite some time now, Sis Crystal. You’ve gotten a lot thinner. I’m guessing life outside Yorks Stronghold hasn’t been treating you well. It’s better if you come back.”This was a standard tactic of hers, a back-handed compliment. Mrs. Yorks arrogantly retorted, “I did get a lot thinner. But that’s only because I’ve been swamped with taking care of Shirley. I have to help out with my darling grandson as well. I’m not as idle as you fol
Chloe had never seen Jay look so depressed before. In her opinion, her son was invincible. Even in the face of disaster, he would continue to stand firm like a mountain.When she saw how depressed Jay looked now just because Angeline did not want him anymore, she was both shocked and exasperated.“There are so many women in the world. If Angeline doesn't want you, there are other women who will love you. Must you be so stubborn?" Chloe reprimanded Jay.Jay gazed at Chloe hopelessly, his eyes dark and cold. It made Chloe’s hair stand on end when she saw them.Jay said to the director of the hospital, “My wife needs her rest. Drive all of them out.”The director hesitated. Although he did not know the Yorks, he knew Grand Old Master Ares.Grand Old Master Ares was a reasonable man, hence he hastened to say, “There’s no need to drive us out. We’ll leave on our own.”Chloe was choking with anger. Jay was clearly asking her to leave.“Fine. I’d like to see if you and Angeline can ma
When she realized that she and Jay were drifting further apart, maybe even to the extent where things might never go back to the way they used to be, Angeline could feel her heart clenching in pain."I’d like to have a glass of water," she said to the nurse.The nurse poured her a glass of water. She took the glass and drank the water in a gulp.The warm water did not seem to be able to warm her cold heart.She realized that the pain and struggle she had gone through back then was nothing compared to the great sorrow and despair she was feeling at the moment.She lay on the bed while staring at the ceiling.She recalled how she had placed Jay in the center of her life all her life and how he was the reason that kept her alive. Now, however, their relationship seemed to be drawing to an end.Angeline did not even realize that she was getting more and more depressed. She gave free rein to her emotions as they shrouded her entire being, causing her to feel even more sorrowful and i
Jay's eyes were filled with distress. "Let her go."Seeing that the president was here, the nurses released Angeline."Get out," Jay ordered in a deep voice.He felt particularly heartbroken when he saw how roughly the nurses were treating Angeline.The nurses left in apprehension.Angeline curled up on the ground, and when she clambered to her feet again, Jay rushed up to her in just a few steps. He held her tightly in his arms, muttering in agony...“Baby, I know you’re in a lot of pain, but let me stay and talk to you, okay?"Immediately, Angeline found a place to set down her anxiety and unease. Jay’s presence had given her a sense of security. When she finally eased up, she realized that energy had completely seeped out of her.She fell limply into Jay's arms.Jay held her tenderly, stroking her head lovingly with his big hands. He coaxed her like he was coaxing a baby. “Don't be afraid, I’ll be by your side always. I’ll never leave you.”Angeline looked at him with mist
Josephine cried out, "Ah!""We haven’t even started yet, why are you screaming?”“Get lost. Can’t you be a bit more serious?”That night, Jay embraced Angeline all throughout. Perhaps it was because Angeline was in his arms that he found it much easier to analyze many things with great rationality. He was searching for a way out of his current predicament.Finally, Jay made up his mind. No matter how much Angeline pushed him away when she woke up later, he would remain stubborn about staying by her side.In his words, "Baby, I don't have the courage to lose you, so I’ve decided to stay with you. Don't push me away. I won't be angry at you anymore. I’ll do everything you say, okay?“I’ll take you away and isolate you from all your worries. Will you be happier that way?”Angeline was as light as a swallow. She was so light that it felt like she might fly away from Jay’s arms by accident.Jay could feel a stabbing pain in his heart when he realized Angeline's dramatic weight loss
"You’re simply unreasonable." Grand Old Master Yorks raged on.“Why should I reason with you? You devised a scheme and took away Shirley’s innocence. You even caused Angel to fall into depression. It’s only because of Jay that I refuse to fight you.” Old Master Severe roared.Chloe said coldly, “Don’t you feel ashamed at all to blame us? You think I don’t know that Angeline’s illness is genetic? That she contracted it even when she was already in her mother’s womb? Angeline is lucky Jay doesn’t despise her, and you’re here blaming us instead, saying that we’re the ones who made her ill?”Zayne, the demon who pampered his sister without limits, retorted, “Nonsense. Neither my dad, my mom, nor I have such illness. My sister is ill because you harmed her over and over again. You broke the couple and separated her from her children. Do you think she would have this illness if you hadn’t made her life so miserable?”Chloe looked at Zayne speechlessly. "Look at you, an adult man cursing
Angeline quivered.Old Master Severe said, “I now know how powerful your mother is, Jay. I’ve imparted all the worldly wisdom to Angeline but have never taught her the ways to deal with an evil mother-in-law. If you can’t protect her, then return her to the Severes. Although we’re not as powerful as the Areses or Yorks, I, Swallow City’s richest man, can provide all the basic necessities for my granddaughter. I guarantee that.”Jay could sense Angeline's anxiety and tightened his grip on her body, announcing domineeringly, "Angeline is mine."He swept his sinister gaze across the crowd, deterring all the aggressive gazes. Then, he stared at the crowd and announced, “I’m taking Angeline away from Imperial Capital.”Chloe was the first to roar. "What are you saying, Jay? You’re leaving Imperial Capital? When are you coming back?”Jay looked at Angeline from the corners of his eyes, his icy pupils turning gentle instantly. “I don’t know. I’ll let Angeline decide. If she comes back, t
