Chapter 29: Hospital
Jasmine's POV
I rushed through the hospital. When I arrived, I hurriedly went to ask the front desk about my son's room.
I saw Diego standing outside the room while waiting for me. I hurriedly went in his direction.
“ What happened to him?” I opened the door, and I saw David lying on the hospital bed. I hugged him and caressed his face. He's hot.
“ He has a high fever. I don't know why I rushed him here. “ David said while looking at us. I sigh and stare at my son.
“ How are you feeling?” I asked in a worried voice, but he just gave me a smile. I smiled, too.
“ I'm fine Mom, I just feel a little bit cold now” he said and I fixed the blanket on him. I caressed his hair and held his hand.
This is the most challenging moment for me as a
Chapter 30: Adrian PetersonJasmine's POVI looked around, observing the people around me and how elegant and wealthy they were. I smiled. I once dreamt of being in this spot, and now I'm already here.“Ms Stewart, how lovely you are tonight.” A woman in her 50s offered her hand to me, and I willingly accepted it.Before, people didn't recognize me because I wasn't the same as them. But now, they were talking about how successful I was and how I changed a lot.“ Thank you, Mrs. Victoria. You look stunning tonight, too.” I smiled broadly, and she slightly beat me on my shoulder and smiled.She's Mrs. Victoria, I am one of her investors. Though we don't see her often, we have a good relationship.She's wearing a black dress designed for her age. I was invited to this party, and I was about to r
Chapter 31: Date?Jasmine's POVI chuckled and crossed my arms. I saw how he smiled and fixed himself to look presentable.I smiled broadly, and he thought that I would agree easily.“ Mr. Peterson, I'm sorry to reject you, but I have no interest in dating.” I politely said and excused myself, but he walked beside me.“ I'm just kidding. I shouldn't leave a bad impression on someone who is as gorgeous as you, especially since this is our first meeting, Ms. Stewart.” He winked at me, and I secretly rolled my eyes.Did he think that he could get me by doing that stuff? I stopped and looked at him.“ Mr. Peterson, I'll just find another way to compensate you,” I said. I was about to walk away when I suddenly tripped. I closed my eyes and waited for my face to bump on the floor, but s
Chapter 32: Challenging You?Jasmine's POV“ Ms. Stewart, I'm glad you gave me time to meet you.” I smiled at him and placed my bag on the other chair.“ Well, how can I reject one of the well-known businessmen in this city?” I chuckled at that man, and he laughed too.He invited me to a meeting and wanted to discuss something. I met him at that party, and he proposed something that caught my attention. He wants me to invest in his company.At first I had a second thought, but besides it seemed we were staying here for longer, maybe I could hear about his proposal.“ I'm sorry for the urgent meeting. Here, please feel free to order.” He offered me the menu, and I just ordered coffee and cake.He chose to meet in a Cafe. He also started to place the papers on the table. He looks formal a
Chapter 33: Chasing Jasmine's POVAfter that encounter, Stacy became rude to everyone if they made a mistake. She’s also watching me, but I don't care. Sometimes, I couldn't help but argue with her because of the way she ordered my people.But I kept on apologizing to them and advising them to have more patience because as soon as we finished here, they didn't have to work with her anymore. As compensation, I always treat them with their lunch, which Stacy seldom does.I was roaming around when someone was walking at my back. When I turned, it was Travis. He's following me. I have no time to argue with him right now.“ Where are you going?” He asked, but I didn't dare look at him. I just continue walking without making a noise.“ When will you talk to me properly?” he asked again, but instead of stopping, I kept on walking because my blood boiled when I saw his face. And I hated him following me around like a dog.“ Can't you just leave me?” I said in an irritated voice, but he didn'
Chapter 34: SatisfyingJasmine's POVAfter that day, I didn't give Travis a chance to talk to me. When I know he has plans to talk, I avoid him unless it's important. Why would I even talk to him?That day, when Stacy found out that we were both stuck in the storage room, she went mad at me, saying that I was trying to steal Travis from her.Why would I do that if, in the first place, I wish never to see him again or even talk to him? I had already cleared my intention and told her that I had nothing to do with him, but she didn't want to believe my words.We were both stuck in that room for hours, and I never talked to him after what he did. I know that he's only playing games, and I won't let him fool me again. That is not going to happen.I also know that Stacy won't stop until she can't hurt me. Every time we met, she got mad
Chapter 35: FunnierJasmine's POVSomeone sent me an invitation. My brow furrowed as I read the details. A smirk slowly formed on my lips. The party is exclusively for wealthy people only. I was one of the guests to whom they sent the gold envelope.I told Diego that I wouldn't come since I had to take care of my son. But he insisted that I should be the one to attend. He could take good care of David, but he was tired from work. That man. I shook my head while remembering what he had said."It's okay, Jaz. I'll take care of the company while playing with David. You need to socialize, too. I can see that you've been stressed lately. And it's my fault, because I let you work for your ex's wedding," he said.He's worried and cared about me and David. It's just a pity that I can't love him the way he loves me. I let out a sigh.
Chapter 36: DizzyJasmine's POVI wasn't feeling okay, but I managed to go do my work. I have an important meeting today with my team abroad. I decided to do it through Facetime. Because I won't be able to go there, I'm busy here.“ Mom, can we play?” My son went inside my room holding his car toy. I looked at him. I'd been so busy these past few days, and we seldom played together.I stood up and went near him. I caressed his hair and hugged him.“ Baby, I'm sorry, Mom is busy working. “ I saw he frowned but soon smiled at me. It's hard seeing him want to play and have a bonding with me but I couldn't even give him time right now.“ I understand. Mom, Daddy Uncle said that you are busy. I just figured if you are not busy today. But it's okay, Mom. Maybe next time?” He said and kissed me on my chicks.
Chapter 37: I Never WishedJasmine's POVWhen I woke up, I found myself lying on the bed. I didn't recall what happened, but when I saw him sitting beside me, holding my hands, everything went back to normal.I get my hand back and force myself to sit. Damn, why him? Of all the people inside the venue, why he's the one who helped me? This might cause trouble again.“ Hey, don't move too much. The doctor said you need a rest. You are stressed. That's why you fainted.” He explained, and I just nodded.“ Why are you still here? “ I asked him, but he just looked away.I looked at the door, waiting for someone to come in, and started ranting, but no one came.“ Because you have no one, that's why I decided to stay?” He said in a not-sure voice. Really? Did he decide to stay?
