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
Mirth bled from Jay’s eyes. Seeing the situation before him, Grayson chose to remain silent. He took the prescriptions and pushed his president away. By shooing the president out of the hospital room, Rose had successfully helped less fortunate inpatients deal with the issue of overnight stays. Details of this act had quickly spread through the entire hospital. Rose quickly became a famous care worker in the hospital, and patients were especially nice to her in return for her kindness. Many patients had begun to worship and admire her, even requesting that she be the one to tend to them. As a result, Rose became extremely busy. That night. Josephine turned on her monitor to find Empire Without Sunset already online and waiting. She teased him, typing, ‘Eager, aren’t you?’Empire Without Sunset replied with a question mark. Jealous, Josephine typed a line of complaint, ‘Screw you. With me, you use your words scarcely, but with her, you talk like there’s no tomorrow
Rose replied with a reaction image of someone getting beheaded. Rose typed, ‘Don’t scold him.’Empire Without Sunset replied, ‘You love him too much to scold him?’‘Yeah.’ Her cheeks immediately flushed pink!Meanwhile, joy bloomed between his brows. Empire Without Sunset then typed, ‘You must be tired. Rest early tonight!’‘Goodnight!’The following day, Rose arrived early at the hospital rooms. Seeing her, the care worker who had the previous overnight shift grinned. “Since you’re here, Lenny, I’ll go sign off now.” “Sure, Linda.” Rose smiled. Only Rose and Old Master Severe were in the room. Rose took a seat by the headboard and held his frail hand in hers as she lightly massaged the atrophied muscle. “Open your eyes and look at me, Grandfather. Your Angeline is still alive, so you can’t give up yet, okay? You have to live.” Old Master Severe suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze falling blearily on Rose. Rose took off her mask and smiled. “Grandfather. Look, e
Rose interrupted, saying, “It’s alright, Mr. Administrator. I’ll leave.” Then, she turned around to face Sera Severe. “The matron has nothing to do with this, Miss Severe, so please let her go. She’s a good nurse.” Sera accepted. “As long as you take all the blame, I have no qualms against letting the issue slide.” As such, Rose went to pack her things. Just as she was about to leave the hospital room with her belongings in tow, she was met with Jay who decided to make an impromptu visit. Jay stared confusedly at her. The red in Rose’s eyes gave off the hurt in her heart. “Who messed with you?” Jay stood in front of her. His body was burning with fury at that moment, and he wanted nothing more than to crush the culprit into smithereens. Not in the mood to deal with him, Rose walked around Jay. However, he suddenly pulled her back by the ear. “Have you gone deaf?” “Ow!” Rose sharply inhaled from the pain.Tugged by the ear, she had no other choice but to trace back to s
