Empire Without Sunset was quiet for some time before he typed, ‘You wish to see him every day?’Rose answered without giving it much thought, ‘Of course!’Empire Without Sunset then replied, ‘I pray that your wish will come true!’Rose typed, ‘Thanks!’‘You don’t need to return the money. I admit my defeat.’Rose was dumbfounded. ‘Since you didn’t come to ask for your money back, then why’d you ask me for a duel?’Empire Without Sunset typed, ‘If you’re unhappy with any aspects of your job, come chat with darling brother here. I’ll counsel you!’...Rose widened her eyes and angrily exited the game.Josephine was sitting at the balcony’s swing chair when she saw the change in Rose’s expression. She spat the half-chewed apple into the bin.“Sis Angeline, what happened?”Rose’s anger was still unsettled as she huffed, saying, “This Empire Without Sunset just flirted with me and tried to call himself my darling brother!”Josephine nearly choked on her saliva...‘Big Brother is
He was jolted awake by such a weird nightmare and breathed heavily once he sat up.The sun was beginning to rise at the horizon.He had lost all interest in getting any more sleep, thus he woke up to get ready for work. He deliberately shaved his stubble neatly because he was going to see her today.He wanted to present himself to her in his best form to prevent her from getting worried about him.Grand Asia’s medical department.Rose had arrived at the matron’s office early in the morning.She humbly stood in front of the matron and bowed. “Thank you for your patience in teaching me.”The matron stole a glance at the clock hanging on the wall, a look of disbelief flashing in her eyes.Other workers were probably just about to get out of bed, yet this lady who was the apple of the president’s eye was more hardworking than anyone else.“Come along with me.”The matron led Rose to Old Master Severe’s room and gave a briefing about the patient’s condition. “His four limbs are po
The matron suddenly received an urgent call, so she hurriedly said to Rose, “Miss Loyle, I’ve got a newly admitted patient in critical condition and I need to go over to handle it. I’ll put the president under your care.”Rose immediately nodded. “Okay.”After the matron left, there was only Rose and Jay in that huge room.Rose suddenly felt that her decision was rather rash.She was worried that Jay would start to make an irrational fuss once he found out about her disfigured appearance.Jay watched as Rose walked around the center of the room. He had seen the unrest, worry, and fear in her expression.“I’m a new care worker here and lack experience. Should I request for an experienced staff from the nursing station to take care of you?” Rose walked up to him and faked a hoarser voice.Jay looked at her without blinking, his seductive lips slightly parting from the surprise he felt.He had intentionally caused an allergic reaction only to see her, yet she wanted to avoid him b
Jay said, “I need to maintain my figure. Otherwise, my wifey will be disgusted with me.”A prickling sensation enveloped Rose’s nose. ‘I’m afraid you’d be the one disgusted with me…’“I don’t think your wife is someone who judges a book by its cover.” Rose defended herself.Jay replied with conviction, “She once complained that I’m old.”Hearing that, she had nothing to say.As such, she helped him out of the bed. His arm rested on her shoulders as he transferred all his weight on her.Rose found it taxing on her stamina. “President, how long do you plan to stroll for?”“Half an hour!”“I think your wife wouldn’t mind it even if you’re old. She only minds it if you’re too annoying,” she suddenly said.Jay’s mouth twitched!After one round, Rose was finding it hard to keep up.“You have such poor stamina,” Jay said with displeasure.Rose then replied, “Your weight is almost double of mine. I can’t move because you’re putting your weight on me.”“I’m a patient. You should do
Jay explained, saying, “Grand Asia removed the labels to protect my privacy.”Rose found it suspicious. ‘This fella’s illness is not some shameful disease. Why does he need to be so secretive about it?’After Jay took the medication, he began his work on the bed.Meanwhile, Rose sat at the round side table at a corner in the room while concentrating on her book about patient supportive care.It was such a quiet time.It was unknown if Angeline’s soul had transmigrated into a crappy student’s body and was being unduly influenced by it, but she felt sleepy whenever she read books.After half an hour, Rose was sound asleep with her head on the table.Jay heard her regular and soft breathing. He tiptoed out of bed, covered a blanket over her, and returned to his bed.He was not in the mood for work and only had eyes for her.At noontime, Jay’s mother came to visit with a sweet-looking young girl.When she saw the care worker taking a nap at work, she burst into anger.“What sort
Madam Ares immediately helped Sera diffuse the situation. “Jay, Sera has just returned from overseas. She initially came over to Grand Asia to visit Old Master Severe and coincidentally met me, so I brought her along to visit you. Don’t you think it’s fated?”Jay’s expression remained cold, looking as if he was not interested to listen to any of that.Madam Ares had other intentions. “You’ve known Sera since you were kids. You know that Sera is as talented and good as Angeline. Since Angeline was met with such unfortunate circumstances and isn’t able to receive your love, why don’t you try things out with Sera?”Rose was hurt when she watched Madam Ares try so hard to bring Jay and Sera together.Hearing this, he glanced over at Rose who was standing at the corner and was feeling worried that she would overanalyze things. As such, he gave her some work to do. “Pour me a cup of water.”Rose got up to fetch a cup of water, and when she passed it to Jay, Sera immediately snatched it
Rose pushed Jay’s hand back. “I don’t need anyone to be my lab rat.”If she wanted to practice, she would try it on herself.She returned to the corner of the room, took out the needles that she had prepared earlier, and rolled up her sleeves. Then, she began to practice on her hand.Jay was shocked to see what she was doing.‘Isn’t she afraid of needles?’There was a time when she had caught the flu and he wanted to bring her to the hospital, but she grabbed on to him while crying profusely. “Jaybie, please, I beg you. Don’t bring me to the hospital. I don’t want to be injected...”She was a young lady, yet she had cried like she did not have any dignity left.Jay’s heart ached. All these years, nobody had showered her with love. As a result, she grew to become so strong and brave.Rose ignored Jay’s stares and focused on the needle that was about to be poked into her hand.The first try went sideways a little and made her twitch in pain.Jay’s eyelids twitched along as well
“Just how pitiful are they?” “The wife is severely sick, so her husband sold off everything they owned to pay for her treatment. The husband’s a good man, sticking by her side until the end.” Jay was speechless. “...”“I don’t think you’re cut out for care work.” Rose’s eyes widened. “Why not?” “You’re too sympathetic.” Rose tutted. “Pretty sure you’re just cold-blooded...” Jay sighed heavily as he watched Rose sob. “Shh. Don’t cry.”“I can’t help it.” Rose wiped her tears off with the back of her hand. Jay spoke, “Come help me pack. I’m getting discharged.” In that instant, Rose’s teary expression burst into a smile. “Really?” He nodded with a darkened gaze. She immediately piled his documents with quick effectiveness and stood by the bed. Slowly sitting up, Jay demanded, “Help me change.” Rose tensed. “Don’t you have limbs?” “I don’t have the energy.” “You liar. You were fine this morning when Sera passed you a cup of water...” Realizing she had let it
