“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
Jay walked into the room while Rose stayed hidden outside by the doors. Realizing she was no longer following him like a shadow, Jay’s brows furrowed again. “Come in.” He clenched his jaw.It was only then did Rose shuffle in slowly. The sight of Rose had Sera in shock. However, Jay’s angry tone had Sera once again head over heels in love with the man. “Brother Jay, I can’t believe this care worker decided to secretly poke a needle into my grandfather.” Jay spoke, “So you reported her?” His tone was covered in frost. Sera was stunned. His aura was slightly different today. He used to hate people who worked against protocol. “She’s the care worker I assigned to take care of Old Master Severe. Is there a problem?”Sera’s complexion paled slightly as she said, “How could I possibly have a problem, Brother Jay? It’s just… She’s new here, and I don’t think she had the right to poke a needle into my grandfather.” Jay turned his head to instruct Rose, “Go get the cannu
However, the flames dwindled once again as he set his eyes on Rose’s widened eyes. In the end, he forced out the words, “Looks like I owe you a reward for your hard work.” That was not what he wanted to say! Rose stared expectantly at Jay, not knowing what he was referring to by ‘reward’. “Is there something you want?” Jay took in her eager gaze. She merely lied and said, “I’m merely doing my job, Mr. President. There’s no need for a reward.” Assuming she was avarice, Jay did not beat around the bush. “How about a cash reward?” The glimmer in Rose’s eyes instantly dimmed. Jay frowned. Had she not been short on cash these days? “Don’t need the extra cash?” he asked curiously. Rose nodded. At this, he was internally shocked, ‘Didn’t she tell Empire Without Sunset that she was short on cash?‘Perhaps she has gotten help somewhere else.’ Sera was blunt with her words when she said, “Then why work as a care worker if you don’t need the extra cash?” Rose replied wi
Jay spoke, "Don't worry. I called you here to help the patient with counseling." Rose sighed a breath of relief. However, she then stared agape at Jay a moment later when his words had sunk in. She stammered, "Counseling?"How was she supposed to counsel the patient when she had never studied psychology?Jay nodded. "Is there a problem?"Afraid that offending this divine being meant getting herself fired, Rose had no other option but to brave on. "I can try."Sitting on the chair by the head of the bed, Jay crossed his legs and stared at her with narrowed eyes.Meanwhile, Sera sat at the end of the bed and was ready to gloat in her misery.Cornered on both her sides, Rose felt immensely pressured. She had millions of things to tell her grandfather yet no idea how to say it out at all."Old... Old Master Severe, it's... It's a sunny day today. It’s warm with a light breeze. It's a perfect day for a field trip..." Sera frowned but dared not to speak a word despite her fum
Jay threw Rose's mask into the trash can.Her eyes widened as her gaze followed the falling of the mask, her heart beginning to feel inexplicably empty. Not leaving her any time to dwell in self-pity, Jay spoke, "Come with me.""Where are we going?" She followed him out of the hospital room.A couple of people walked from the opposite direction from time to time in the long corridor.During then, Rose would find herself turning to face the wall, as to avoid others seeing that deformed face of hers. Every time that happened, the corners of Jay's eyes burned. He had brought Rose to the office of a professional therapist.Rose stared at the plate on the door reading 'Psychology’. Immediately, a strong gust of rejection arose and she did not want to enter the room."Why’d you bring me here, Mr. President? I... I’m very mentally healthy."Turning around, he responded, "Old Master Severe is very important to me. It’s in my best interest that you learn as much on the topic of ps
