That night, Baby Zetty had a high fever.Maybe it was because a sick child would become particularly vulnerable, or maybe because of the lack of security she was experiencing after losing her mommy that Baby Zetty was curled up on the bedside. She started sobbing. "Mommy, where are you? Why don't you want Baby Zetty anymore?" As the high fever came and went, Baby Zetty would look for Mommy when she was awake. When she was unconscious, Baby Zetty would lie on the bed and sleep soundly. Jay had gone to the room at night and when he heard Baby Zetty’s crying, he quickly opened the door and turned on the lights. He saw that Baby Zetty's face had turned red from the fever. She was looking at him listlessly with her narrowed eyes.Jay strode forward and touched Baby Zetty's forehead. When he realized that she was having a fever, Jay wrapped the child in a sheet without saying a word, carried her downstairs, and drove straight to Grand Asia Hospital. The child was in his arms, shout
Jay's mother felt heartbroken for her son and was very angry. "This Rose Loyle, why should my Jay have to take care of her daughter who she left here?" She paused, then said angrily, "Isn’t Jay too worried about Baby Zetty? Isn't it just a fever? How nervous was he to be driving so fast?" John said, "Sister-in-law, you don't know that! Jay likes Rose, so naturally, he treats Baby Zetty differently. Love someone and love everyone connected to them." Grand Asia Hospital. Jay had carried Baby Zetty to the emergency room. When the doctor on duty saw that Mr. Ares had come here by himself, his eyes stared at him in disbelief. Was this really their haughty Mr. Ares who had always rejected help from others no matter who?He was also carrying a child for treatment? This was such a down-to-earth Mr. Ares. It felt so unreal! "What are you looking at? Check her quickly." "Yes, Mr. Ares." The doctor examined the child's throat, auscultated the heart and lungs, then calmly looke
When the physician came in, Baby Zetty noticed the cart she was pushing and stretched out her arms. She rolled up her sleeves and asked in a sweet tone, “Miss doctor, are you going to draw my blood?”Jay rolled her sleeves back down and explained to her very gently. “There’s no need to examine your blood. We’re using natural therapy this time. The only thing you need to do is cooperate and let this aunty here massage you.”Baby Zetty was slightly puzzled. “I don’t need to take any medication?”“Nope.”“Uncle Jay, is it because you don’t want to spend any money on me? Is that why you don’t want me to go for injections and take medication? Am I going to die?” Baby Zetty asked innocently.Jay, “...”The physician could not help but chuckle. “Baby Zetty, massage therapies are more expensive than injections and medication.”Baby Zetty knew she had misunderstood Jay. Hence, she said somewhat shamefully, “I’m sorry, Uncle Jay.”Jay was silent.What was there to add? The only reason t
The bodyguards were standing on one side in a row, protecting the safety of Grand Old Master Ares.With his crutches, the old man walked quickly to the ward where Baby Zetty was located.All of his sons and daughter-in-laws followed him.Jay frowned when the ward’s door was suddenly kicked open. Fearing that Baby Zetty was about to wake up from all the commotion, Jay covered Zetty’s ears with his hands.This action petrified his grandfather as well as all his uncles and aunties on the spot when they saw it.In their impression, Jay was a walking iceberg and was cold-hearted toward everyone.“What on earth are you doing, Jay?” Jay’s mother walked up to him in a fit.Jay stood up, his sharp gaze condemning the room full of people. “Get out. Baby Zetty needs to rest.”Everyone in the room looked at one another. Did they hear him wrong?“You’re going too far, Jay. You’re willing to chase us, your elders, away for a little girl who has no blood relationship with the Ares?” John exc
“Grandfather!” Jay walked up to his grandfather and called out respectfully.Grand Old Master Ares raised his gaze and squinted. He pointed his thin finger at him. It was trembling continuously due to fury. “Tell me. Is it worth it, doing all of this for a woman?”Jay’s expression appeared grave and stern. He replied instantly, “It is.”Compared to the things that Angeline had done for him, were these things even computable to hers?Grand Old Master Ares was so exasperated that he had trouble breathing. He could barely speak anymore. “You. You… You’ve truly disappointed me.”Jay’s father, Jack Ares, immediately walked over and reprimanded his son harshly, “Jay, watch your attitude when talking to your grandfather.”John aggravated things further by saying, “Jay’s arrogant, so he treats everyone equally with that temper of his. Dad won’t blame him for it, Jack.”Jay ruthlessly shot John a glare. “Perhaps you should shut up.”John embarrassedly rubbed the tip of his nose and stay
One was pressing on the other, while the other stayed unflinching!How would the quibble between these two come to an end?Grand Old Master Ares suddenly stood up, and when he passed by Jay, Jay proceeded to stretch out his hand to hold him back.“Let me know again if you’ve regretted it.” Grand Old Master Ares looked at Jay’s unwavering eyes.Jay announced to the others, “Dad, escort the others out. I’d like to have a few words with Grandfather alone.”Grand Old Master Ares was startled, yet he hobbled back to the chair.He pointed his cane toward the door and ordered the others, “All of you wait outside.”Thus, the others proceeded to file out the room.Jay’s father thoughtfully closed the door behind him, leaving a quiet space for the grandfather-grandson duo. Grand Old Master Ares looked at Jay and pointed to the seat next to him. Then, Jay sat down.“Grandfather, I can explain the two headlines about me. But you have to promise not to make things hard for Rose anymore,”
“That was perhaps due to my negligence last night. The paparazzi was able to take advantage of me.” A layer of frost covered Jay’s handsome face.On Grand Old Master Ares’ hardship-filled face emerged a keen look that could read through the vicissitudes of the smallest changes. “Jay, you’ve lived a quiet life for so many years. The paparazzi in Imperial Capital have no authority, nor do they have power. Who’d dare step on your toes?”“I understand, Grandfather.” Jay’s eyes were filled with darkness. “I’ll make the truth come to light about this matter.”“Paparazzi are certainly hateful, but as an Ares, you should’ve been cautious with your words and actions. Don’t give those hidden maggots a chance to hurt you,” Grand Old Master Ares continued.“I heard from your mother that Rose has left the Garden Of A Diary?”“Yes,” Jay said somewhat regretfully.Grand Old Master Ares looked at his grandson’s unconcealable frustrated expression and felt himself swallowing his anger. “Since Ros
Grand Old Master Ares’ smile froze in the corner of his eyes. “You no longer hesitate to quarrel with your grandfather because of her. It’s as if you’re infatuated and blinded by love. Should I still let you marry her?”Jay replied to him emotionally, “Grandfather, it’s not that I’m crazily in love. I’m merely unable to repay her for all the kindness and favor she has given me.”Grand Old Master Ares frowned with a sense of doubt. Were they talking about the same heroine?“With a snap of a finger, there are plenty of women in Imperial Capital who’ll be kind to you,” Grand Old Master Ares said somewhat disdainfully. Jay shook his head. “No. There’s no one else like her who’ll love me as vast as the ocean.”Grand Old Master Ares was even more confused. He could recall that Jay had mentioned this sentence before, but the person he was talking about at that time was not Rose. “Is she better than your Angeline?”When he brought up Angeline, Jay’s face was filled with a joyous smile.
