Boye felt the powerful aura emitting out of Jay. It felt like a sub-zero freezing field, causing her to tremble unconsciously.“I can cure Angeline’s disease.” Boye did not want her grandson to worry about Angeline’s illness all the time and feel restless over it. As such, she took the initiative to propose a treatment for Angeline.However, Jay promptly refused. “Thank you for your kind thoughts, but I think my dear Angeline doesn’t need it.”The drugs for anxiety and depression had too many side effects, so he was very resistant. He firmly believed that so long as Angeline was with him, she would slowly get better.Boye was dumbfounded. Others would beg her with money and riches for treatment, but her own grandson failed to recognize her extraordinary talent and rejected her help?“I can cure her disease and let her live like a normal person in the future.” Boye persevered.Jay said firmly, “I can also help her lead a normal life.”Boye, “...”Angeline merely giggled at the
Angeline returned to the dining table and noticed Jay staring at her face from time to time.Angeline wiped her face. “What’s the matter?”“What did you talk about with the granny that got you so absorbed? You almost completely skipped all your naps and meals,” Jay said in a joking manner.Angeline’s mouth was stuffed to the brim. Her cheeks looked especially cute when she said, “Try and guess.” Her mouth was not fully closed when she spoke, and a few pieces of food particles spurted out. Jay was dumbfounded… “Angeline, don’t forget that you’re a well-bred young lady from a prestigious family.”Angeline laughed out loud, and more of the food inside her mouth was sprayed out. Some of it even landed on Jay’s face. Angeline quickly took a tissue and wiped it randomly all across his face. Jay felt incredibly helpless, but in the end, apart from squeezing her face tenderly, he did not show the slightest bit of temper. Why had he not trained her to be a well-bred young lady of a pr
The atmosphere for the rest of the meal turned somewhat dull.Angeline’s pessimism and world-weariness gave a self-confident and arrogant person like Jay a sense of powerlessness.He thought that once Angeline’s body slowly recovered and her mood gradually became more cheerful, everything would go back to the way things were. However, the sadness that seeped through Angeline’s eyes seemed to have burst the bubble of hope for their future. It made him feel hints of despair.When he went into the kitchen to wash the dishes, he ended up breaking several plates in the process due to his absent-mindedness. Angeline heard the sound coming from the kitchen and sighed sadly.Was he starting to lose patience with her?This disease was not something they could get rid of overnight. It was normal for Jaybie to lose patience because even she did not have confidence in herself.She turned around and went into the bedroom, locking herself up.Jay’s gaze followed her until she closed the doo
The diary had thoroughly changed Angeline’s perspective. It had turned Angeline from a weak patient into a strong wife. It changed her from being so aimless and passive into a strong female character who actively sought to survive and wanted to embrace the world.Angeline cried for a long time before ultimately opening the bedroom door. Jay was still standing near it for God knew how long now.When Angeline noticed his reddened eyes, it was evident that he had been crying earlier. Thinking about how he was a man who was barely afraid of death but was now deadly terrified of his wife getting sick and dying, Angeline felt that she was the luckiest person in the world. She slowly walked toward him and hugged his waist, inching deeper into his embrace.“Darling,” she called out emotionally.Jay was stunned. Angeline had the habit of calling him Jaybie since they were young. Why did she suddenly change it?Angeline raised her head. “I’ll call you darling from now on.”Jay squinted his
Jay hugged her tightly. His voice sounded hoarse when he said, “I can’t risk losing you, Angeline.”Angeline stroked his thick flowing hair and said softly, “To be honest, I don’t hate her anymore.”When Angeline saw Jay’s notebook and felt Jay’s deep love for her, she discovered that such a profound love could break all the cold obstacles in the world.Chloe’s hatred looked much more insignificant when she had Jay’s love.“It doesn’t matter how many heinous things she has done to me, I’ll still have to thank her for one thing. I have to be grateful that she gave birth to you because you’re the greatest gift I’ve ever had.”Jay held onto Angeline tightly. He had always known that Angeline was kind-hearted and would never hold a grudge. He should be protecting Angeline well since she had this nature. “Angeline, although you and I have been married for so many years, we’ve never gone on our honeymoon. Why don’t we stay here a while longer? Let’s not go back in such a hurry, okay?”
Angeline looked at the various fitness equipment stationed on the ground and felt like weeping.Jay was no longer as imposing and softly coaxed her, saying, “Don’t be afraid. Let’s start with the simplest exercise.”Angeline pitifully pleaded with him, “I don’t have the energy.”Jay picked her up and stood on one of the airwalk trainers. He held onto her small hands with his. “I’ll protect you so you won’t fall. It’s only your first day today. You’ll only need to do it for a few minutes.”Was his requirement that low?Only then did Angeline feel more relieved and slowly began to move. Angeline got off the fitness equipment about 40 minutes later.Jay was delighted as he patted her head. “You did an amazing job.”Angeline was in between laughter and tears. Was this considered remarkable to him?That day, Angeline’s consciousness was clear and she had active thinking. Jay felt utterly happy. Angeline began to be more confused again around evening time, and she suffered a brief
He was afraid that the tragedy that happened between his mother and Angeline would repeat itself.However, he was not aware that there were such things as grandparents who loved their grandchildren more.Boye seemed to have noticed Jay’s concern and took the initiative to dispel his doubts. “JJ, Angeline already knows my identity. She was the one who told me who you were.”Jay was dumbfounded.There was a blissful flower blooming in his heart. It was as if Angeline knew him better than himself. “Is that so? Then, did she tell you about those tragedies that indirectly harmed her… because of you?” Jay’s tone was not warm. On the contrary, it sounded rather cold.Boye’s enthusiastic smile turned lonesome and sorrowful in an instant. She said, “May Grandma sit down and have a talk with you?”“Please do.” Jay’s relationship with Boye seemed exceptionally courteous. Boye sat on the chair, and Jay proceeded to pour a cup of tea for her. Boye took a sip of her tea before sighing. “An
When Boye left Jay’s courtyard, her expression was still a little confused. When she got home, her husband asked, “Was it a pleasant conversation with your grandson?”Boye nodded and shook her head at the same time.The grandpa placed his work down in surprise. He came closer to Boye and asked with concern, “Does the child hate you?”Boye said in bewilderment, “He didn’t say that. It’s just that his attitude toward me was not really enthusiastic.”Boye suddenly chuckled out loud. “For so many years, everyone regarded Boye as a guest of honor and did all kinds of things to please me. He’s the only one who rejected the benefits I offered to give him.”The grandpa was a little surprised. “Were you planning on handing your research results to him?”Boye sighed. “He doesn’t seem to want them.”The grandpa asked suspiciously, “He truly doesn’t want them?”Boye replied, “He does. But he wants me to contribute his share to the country.”The grandpa was dumbfounded. “He’s truly a perso
