Jay walked over and sat down next to her, his pupils staring at the door of the emergency room.When Josephine saw Jay, her tears that were akin to beans started rolling down her face. “Big Brother, Rose has alcohol poisoning and is currently deeply unconscious. What should I do?”Jay was so startled that every nerve in his body had tensed up. He even stuttered as he spoke, “How… Much did… She… Drank?”He was obviously in a shocked state of mind. Josephine responded, “I was clearly the one heartbroken, yet she drank way more alcohol than I did. I only have mild alcohol poisoning, but hers is severe. The doctor said that she’s in a dangerous condition because her blood pressure and heartbeat are both abnormal…”Every word that came out of Josephine’s mouth was like a sharp blade that repeatedly stabbed Jay’s body.Soon after, the doctor came out of the emergency room with a solemn expression. “The patient’s survival rate is shallow, so family members should be mentally prepared f
Rose was quickly transferred to the VIP ward.Zayne and Jay stayed in the ward, waiting for Rose to wake up.Suddenly, Zayne uttered, “My sister doesn’t have a bad drinking habit. If she does drink, it only means that she’s in a bad state of mind.”Jay replied, “I know.”He was feeling indignant toward Jay, but he dared not speak it out. “After she transmigrated, the only reason she didn’t tell you about her past life is that you failed to give her a sense of security and trust. Have you reflected on that, Mr. Ares?”Jay gave him a short glance. “Didn’t I mention that I know of this secret as well?”The other man was utterly speechless.“Why didn’t you tell her?” Zayne asked.“Because I was hoping that one day, she’d take the initiative to open up to me and tell me this secret herself.”“Is there a difference?” Zayne looked somewhat dazed.“When she first came back, I treated her terribly because of her change in appearance. Perhaps that’s the reason she’s unwilling to open u
“Yeah. And after she wakes up and hears the bad news of Eminent Honor being on the verge of bankruptcy, perhaps she’d drag her thin and frail body everywhere to help you bring in some business?”Zayne appeared to be on pins and needles.“If you want what’s good for her, then you should be more committed as Severe Enterprise’s current overseer so that there’s less for her to worry about.”Zayne stood up abruptly and gave Jay a thumbs-up. “You’re amazing, Master Ares. I’m leaving now! Take care of my little sister.”Jay waved at him. “Take it slow. I won’t be sending you off.”After the noise of Zayne leaving faded away, the ward became quieter.Jay listened to Rose’s breathing sound attentively.There had never been a moment like this before. Hearing her breathing getting deeper made him feel particularly at ease.At noon, the doctor came over with Rose’s blood test and told Jay, “The patient’s condition is very stable now, so she can be discharged as her condition permits it. A
Jay hugged Rose in his arms after she was discharged, and women of all ages focused their attention on him along the way. Jay’s complexion appeared ashen, but she was secretly breaking into laughter.“Don’t laugh.” Jay glared at her.Rose glanced at the woman sitting on the opposite chair who was drooling as she smiled and stared at Jay like a love-struck fool.Rose teased him, saying, “She seems to like you, Sir Ares.”He retorted coldly, “Are you sure that’s not a patient with dementia?”Rose proceeded to laugh out loud. This guy’s poisonous tongue indeed should not be provoked.At the entrance of the hospital.A group of people had surrounded Jay’s Rolls-Royce. The traffic officer was yelling out anxiously, “So what if you’re loaded? Does that mean you don’t have to obey the traffic rules? You can block the whole road just because you have money?”When Jay walked over, the traffic officer was abruptly silenced when he saw Jay.He could not recognize the Rolls-Royce, but he
“I have something to discuss with James, so you can go and help us prepare breakfast.”Rose glanced at the guest secretly and said with a grimace, “Three portions?”Jay smiled back. “No, just two.”He would not allow her two hands to do anything for any other people.Hearing him, she breathed a sigh of relief. “Good.”Then, Jay brought James to the study room.At first, the atmosphere was fairly relaxed.“Jay, do you really like Rose Loyle?”Jay nodded.“Uncle James, with my current status, there’s no need to force myself to do anything. There’s only one reason needed for me to marry her, and that’s because I love her. So, I ask that Uncle James be a little bit warmer and mindful toward Rose in the future.”James’ face sank as he continued quietly, “You know it yourself that you have great qualities. You could’ve gotten any debutante out there, yet you had to marry the illegitimate daughter of the Loyle family. You’re utterly blind!”“Uncle James, I don’t think you’re here t
“I think your kitchen utensils don’t welcome me here, Sir Ares. It seems like I shouldn’t be here often in the future!” After some time, Rose finally raised her little head.Jay was filled with laughter. Rose had the expression of ‘I’m not going to cook ever again’ written all over her face!“Let me do it.” Jay walked over and took the flour from her hand. Then, he started to get busy.Rose, who was bored, started chattering endlessly. “You can cook, Sir Ares?“It doesn’t make sense. My friends told me that a man who can cook is a man who can’t make money.“But it seems like you’re only able to cook basic European cuisine. To be frank with you, European cuisine doesn’t always match everyone’s palate. Furthermore, constantly eating them will make you bloat like a balloon…”It was because she disliked European cuisine!Jay was quickly frying up some bacon and eggs while she babbled away.Rose saw the golden brown bacon and licked her lips.“Can I eat it?” Rose asked somewhat pit
“You were dragged out of the emergency room yesterday. Don’t you consider yourself a patient?”Rose’s mouth widened in shock.“I went to the emergency room last night? Why don’t I remember this?”“You were blackout drunk.” Jay closed his book, his face becoming cold and stern. “Women who come from good families won’t get blackout drunk outside. You’ve gotten a bad influence from Josephine.”Rose opened her mouth in bewilderment and stuttered, “I was the bad influence!”“You still have the nerve to utter those words out loud?”Rose bowed her head.When Josephine was mentioned, Rose became incessantly concerned. “By the way… Is Josie okay?”Jay replied, “In which aspect?”Rose, “...”“She didn’t go to the emergency room, right?”“She’s fine.”Rose was not at ease. Hence, she stood up from the swing. “I’d better go ask her.”She entered the house and dialed Josephine’s phone.After waiting for a long time, Josephine finally answered.“I’m sorry, Rose. Your trust limit in
When Rose got dressed and came out, Jay had already brought out the car.“I’m heading to the company, so I’ll take you on the way there.”He was occupied with starting the engine while talking, so he naturally did not notice the puzzled look on Rose’s face.When she opened the door to the back seat, she heard Jay mutter, “Sit in the front and talk to me.”Rose could not help but wonder. A person who barely spoke had taken the initiative to find someone to chat with him. Perhaps there was something wrong with his brain.However, she obeyed him and sat in the front seat with him.“Can you drive?” Jay raised his gaze and looked at her.Rose hesitated for quite some time before shaking her head. “No.”Angeline could drive, but Rose could not!“I’ll teach you,” Jay stated.Rose’s gaze fell on his car key, and she realized that it was a new car. Although the Maserati’s body was slightly smaller, the interior was still luxurious and the appearance was streamlined.It was a car that
