Chapter 1211
"Then what kind of wedding do you want?" Angeline asked. She did not have the heart to disappoint him.
Jay kissed the back of her palm. "I want to give you the wedding of a lifetime. We'll let our kids be the flower girls and ring boys. I want everyone to know that you, Angeline Severe, are the gem in my life. No one can bully my darling."
Angeline smiled gently. However, her smile had bitterness and agony in it.
Jay suddenly understood. Once he mentioned the kids, Angeline had thought of Baby Robbie.
"Angeline, don't be sad. I'll find a way to get Baby Robbie back," said Jay.
Angeline sobbed. "These few years, I've searched for every single trace in the world. The related departments in every country were also very cooperative. They used face recognition and ran DNA tests, but there was no sign of Baby Robbie. Jaybie, I'm so scared..."
When Angeline said that, she held her hands against her face as she started to cry.
Jay held her tight. "Silly girl, you've looked in the wrong direction."
Angeline raised her head. "Jaybie... I can take the workload. Don't you worry about my body. Just tell me everything you know, okay?"
Jay reached out, his coarse hand gently brushing against the tear marks at the corner of her eyes.
"Mm. That day, I asked Zayne to send Baby Robbie over to S Country. Storm went ahead to receive Baby Robbie at the airport. However, Baby Robbie sensed that something was off, so he ran. He even got into a fight with Storm. At that moment, a mysterious man saw everything, so he wounded Storm and grabbed Baby Robbie."
As Jay described everything, his eyes began to well up with tears.
His self-blame was accented under that intense aura o f resentment.
His fist was clenched tightly as the veins on his forehead showed. He hated the man who brought Baby Robbie away, but he did not want Angeline to worry about him, so he had to pretend that he was relaxed about it.
"Angeline, that guy could beat Storm, so his skills are out of the ordinary. As for the fact that he brought Baby Robbie away, he somehow would appreciate talent if he saw it. Baby Robbie will be fine. When he comes back home, he might even be more excellent than ever!"
Angeline was consoled and said, "Looks like I went in the wrong direction. Since those people could snatch Baby Robbie away in broad daylight, surely they're not some righteous organization. I had searched every lawful organization for him for so many years, but it seems that I was so wrong."
Jay said, "Don't worry. After two days, we'll ask Jenson and Ghost to pay a visit to S Country. Maybe we'll find some clues when we revisit the place."
Angeline suddenly grabbed Jay's hand in distress." Jaybie, you have to go too. You're sharp, and you can think of solutions on a whim. If you go, we might actually find out something." Jay replied, "If I go, who will take care of you?"
"I'll ask Josephine to look after me. The movie that she's been working on recently is all in the can, so she has a long holiday."
Jay thought of the fact that Josephine had let Angeline eat those chips and frowned. "No. I'm not comfortable with her taking care of you."
Angeline hugged his arm and said coyly, "Jaybie, Josephine is the most suitable person to look after me. We have things to talk about and we feel happy around each other."
Jay suddenly became jealous. "Then, are you not happy around me?"
Angeline coaxed him, saying, "I'm happier when I'm with you, Jaybie."
Only then did Jay smile from ear to ear.
"I'll think about it."
"Then, when are you departing?" asked Angeline.
Jay replied, "After Shirley is discharged from the hospital, I'll settle that dramatic love story between her, Zayne, and Josephine. Only after that will I depart, okay?
Chapter 1212
Chapter 1212
Angeline could not wait any longer and was dying to know Baby Robbie's news. She said, "Why don't you head to S Country, Jaybie? And come back before Sis Shirley is discharged. I think after she's well, Josie and Zayne will be announcing their good news."
Jay replied, "It's all up to you."
Angeline responded, "Then, go ahead and prepare your bags for departure."
Jay groaned at her. "Are you dying to send me away?"
Angeline smiled. "I'll reward you once you've returned."
"What kind of rewards?" Jay asked expectantly.
Angeline answered, "I'll give myself to you, okay?"
Jay placed his big hands on her waist. "That'll depend on your condition, no? After I leave, you'll have to keep a positive frame of mind, eat and drink well every single day, and you'll have to get lots of sleep. Alright?"
"I know, I know."
Jay was anxious about Josephine taking care of Angeline. That night, he called Josephine over for practice in advance.
Jay had written and sorted out his notes about
Angeline's living habits and handed them over to Josephine. Then, he ordered, "Memorize them by tonight and recite them to me before I leave tomorrow morning."
Josephine looked at the thick pile of notes and ridiculed silently. "Brother, it looks like it's all ready for publication?"
Jay gave her a death stare and Josphine quickly explained, "It's useless for you to glare at me. If you want me to memorize all of these in one night, I'm afraid I just can't do it."
Jay proceeded to knead his eyebrows. "I've printed out her three meals for each day in tabular form."
Josephine grabbed the ingredients of those meals and saw the densely packed menu. Then, she almost burst into tears. "You know that I don't cook, Big Brother. It's not going to be easy as it is to keep Angeline alive, but now you're even giving me such complex menus? Sis Angeline is not a queen or anything. Must she have a feast every single day?"
Jay uttered, "That's because I'm worried other people's cooking won't suit her taste, so I've asked for the chef to cook a bit more variety."
Josephine widened her eyes. "So you hired a chef? I don't have to cook?"
Jay proceeded to warn her, saying, "I don't care whether or not you think the dishes you cook are good, but you're never allowed to feed it to Angeline."
Josephine pouted her lips. "You're just looking down on me. I've made great progress with my cooking nowadays."
Jay stood up. "You're still not allowed to feed it to Angeline. Your foul dishes might cost someone their life."
Josephine shuddered at the thought. "I got it. Fine. I'll just not cook at all."
Jay only sat back down after hearing this.
Then, he reminded her of some other things. "Angeline is particularly afraid of the cold after getting this sickness. You have to remember to add some layers on her at any time."
He glanced at Josephine's thin attire as worry filled Jay's eyes.
"Josephine, your logic of 'as long as it's fashionable, then the temperature doesn't matter' must never be allowed to happen on Angeline."
Josephine drooped her head. She started to have an illusion that she had to take care of a baby!
"Big Brother, Sis Angeline is not stupid. She'll let me know if she's cold."
Jay stood up once more and rested both his hands on the table. He solemnly warned her one word at a time and was almost gritting his teeth. "If your dear Sis Angeline catches a cold due to your improper care, you'll know what's coming for you."
Josephine wiped the cold sweat from her forehead." Gotcha."
Chapter 1213
Chapter 1213
The very next day, Jay woke Josephine up early in the morning and gave her an earful of instructions before reluctantly leaving.
Josephine proceeded to abruptly lay on the sofa and soon fell asleep again in a daze.
When Josephine naturally woke up once more, she was almost scared out of her wits to see the clock pointing to nine o'clock in the morning.
The chef who Jay invited had been ringing the doorbell outside for two hours, but Josephine failed to realize it. She anxiously ran to open the villa's door and let the chef in. The chef knew that her time to prepare breakfast was relatively short, so she hurriedly rushed toward the kitchen as well.
Josephine dashed to Angeline's bedroom upstairs and pushed the bedroom door open. She then saw Angeline staring at the ceiling with her eyes wide open.
Josephine rushed over and knelt beside Angeline's bed. She was profoundly blaming herself. "I'm truly sorry, Sis Angeline. I overslept."
Angeline smiled and said, "I've guessed it already."
"Sis Angeline, why didn't you call for me? If Big
Brother knows that you're still in bed at nine o'clock and hadn't eaten on time, he'd kill me."
Angeline patted her on the head as if she was a pet." Dummy, just don't let him know then."
Josephine gratefully shook Angeline's hand. "Sis Angeline, you're an angel. Meanwhile, my big brother is a demon."
Josephine helped Angeline up and wanted to change her clothes. Angeline felt slightly embarrassed. "I can do it myself, Josie."
Josephine pleaded, "I'm begging you to let me help you out, Sis Angeline. Otherwise, if Jay finds out that I was barely helping out, he'll make me pay for it."
Angeline giggled and said, "Alright then."
Josephine changed Angeline's clothes and was immediately attracted by her impressive figure. She placed her hands on her most prideful curves and gasped in amazement. "F*ck, how on earth did you maintain your figure?"
Since there were only two girls around and they were best friends, Angeline teased without reluctance. "It's because your big brother has great skills."
Josephine almost spurted some blood out. "Then, it's not a method I can learn."
In S Country, Jay opened up his mobile phone's monitoring software as soon as he got off the plane. When he saw Josephine blaspheming his little wife, his head was immediately congested with anger. However, after seeing the two ladies teasing one another and deciphering the indecent words that came out of Angeline's mouth, Jay's coldness dissipated by a whole lot.
He still could not hold himself back and pressed his phone to dial Josephine's number.
Josephine answered her phone and responded in a guilty tone. "Big Brother?"
"Why are you only waking up now? Angeline hasn't eaten breakfast yet?" He was obviously using his low, rich and magnetic voice, but it was somehow surrounded by icy pressure. It immediately made Josephine terrified.
Nonetheless, Josephine quickly realized something and shouted at the phone. "You installed a surveillance system to monitor me, Big Brother?"
Jay replied, "The monitoring system was installed when the house was built. It's not merely for you."
Although the monitoring system was installed long ago, it had not been turned on before. He switched it o n right after Josephine came over last night.
Josephine believed his words and bowed her head weakly before saying, "If I knew that Carefree Garden had a surveillance system, I wouldn't have come."
She had made an innumerable amount of mistakes, and Jay would never let her off the hook for each and every one of them. She might as well drop dead right now. "What did you say?" Jay raised his voice.
Josephine said with many grievances, "Big Brother, if you have surveillance cameras everywhere, where on earth do I change my clothes?"
Jay retorted, "There's none in the bathroom."
Josephine slouched and said, "Fine, I got it."
"Go and take care of Angeline. Bye." Jay could not bear the thought of Angeline being left aside, so he took the initiative to end the conversation.
Chapter 1214
Chapter 1214
It was as if Josephine had received a pardon, and she almost jumped up with joy.
Jay suddenly added viciously before hanging up the phone, "When you change Angeline's clothes in the future, don't touch her body."
Josephine ridiculed him. "You're crazy possessive... and not to mention paranoid."
After hanging up the phone, Josephine complained to Angeline. "Sis Angeline, how are we supposed to live these few days? There's a surveillance camera in this room, and it feels like my big brother's eyes are staring at me at all times. He knows my every move. This is a sad life."
Angeline comforted. "You can merely pretend to listen when he's nagging. Anyway, he'll only return in ten days or so. By the time he comes back, you can slip away untouched."
Josephine looked at Angeline and uttered sourly," You're the only one who dares to disobey him. Big Brother is reluctant to punish you."
Angeline smiled and said, "I have my illness to thank for that."
Jay had successfully spoiled Josephine and
Angeline's initially peaceful and good times.
In S Country, Jay brought Jenson, Zayne, and the Ghost members to the place where Baby Robbie's incident took place.
Zayne once again talked about what happened back then... Standing in the place where Baby Robbie disappeared, Jay's long and stalwart figure looked incredibly lonely.
A hint of distressful tears flowed out of Jenson's eyes.
After some time, Jay turned around. For some reason, the grief and despair in his eyes were too powerful that they were unable to dissipate.
He said in a sorrowful tone, "Let's go. Our top priority should be getting in touch with Storm."
Jenson looked at the airport not far away. Judging from the direction his dad was standing in just now, perhaps he was standing on the spot in which the mysterious man appeared. Jenson presumed that his dad had come up with a very unfavorable conclusion.
"Daddy, are you worried that the mysterious man three years ago took Baby Robbie and immediately flew to another place?"
Jay nodded. "We can't rule out the possibility that he might have walked from this direction toward the airport entrance."
Jenson said, "I'll check the passenger information of that day's flight."
Jay nodded again. "Perhaps Baby Robbie's appearance had disrupted his boarding plan. Jens, pay attention to passenger information for the next few days." "Mm."
Jenson turned around and entered the airport.
Then, Jay turned over and said to the Ghost members, "Go to the authorities to investigate the information of all the fugitives being pursued and contact the local gang's big boss. I want to meet them." "Yes, sir."
Jay glanced at Zayne but said nothing in the end and only walked toward the hotel's direction.
Zayne felt very uncomfortable and said, "Why didn't you assign a task to me, Master Ares? I was the one who lost Baby Robbie in the beginning, so I'll feel better if you let me do something."
Jay did not turn his head when he said, "We're on the verge of war, and you're unsuited to do anything."
When Jay returned to the hotel, Zayne thought that his majesty would sit right in the command center and give others orders.
However, Zayne guessed wrongly.
Once Jay reached the hotel room, he immediately turned on his mobile phone's surveillance software. Then, he sat on the bed in a daze, staring at the phone screen as if he was watching a movie. Zayne sneaked behind him, and when he saw the phone's screen, he felt like his eyes were about to fall to the ground.
"The oh-so dignified Master Ares of Imperial Capital, a student with excellent academic achievement since childhood and who comes from a fantastic family background, is actually voyeuristic." "Sit over there where you'll be unnoticeable," Jay yelled.
Chapter 1215
Chapter 1215
Not long after, Jenson returned home.
He held a micro USB flash drive in his hand and greeted Jay before getting busy at his computer desk.
Zayne immediately moved over to Jenson's side." Have you found anything, Jens?"
Jenson ignored him.
Zayne looked at Jenson dejectedly. "Kid, can't you be a little warmer to your uncle? I've seen you talking a lot around your mommy and daddy."
Jenson stayed silent.
Zayne was long-winded and continued, "We're relatives, so don't treat me so differently. Mm?"
Jenson replied coldly, "That's not the reason."
Zayne was puzzled. "Then, what's the reason?"
"It's your IQ!"
Zayne felt like he had been beaten up to death.
It took him a long time to recover. "You mean, you talk a lot with your family members because they have high IQs and you have nothing to say to me because I have a low IQ?" Jenson nodded.
Zayne was perplexed. "Don't you think you should do the opposite? People with high IQs won't need you to speak too much, right? Only people with low IQs would need a persistent explanation." Hearing Zayne classifying himself as a low IQ person, Jay's thin lips curved into a wicked smile.
Zayne realized that he was being tricked and patted his mouth.
At this moment, Jay came over. Jenson said to him," Daddy, I've copied all the passenger information in the three months after Baby Robbie went missing. I'll let you know if there's an abnormality after going through them."
Jay uttered, "Your uncle has seen that mysterious man before, so let him check the photos with you."
Jenson nodded. "Mm."
Zayne brought a stool over and sat next to Jenson.
Jay returned to his seat and turned on the surveillance system to watch what was going on in Carefree Garden.
Jenson opened the USB flash drive and began to browse the passenger's ID card information. He was the kind of gifted student who could read at lightning speed and remember all the information. However, Zayne was truly unsuited to this kind of browsing method.
"Can you slow down, Jens? I can barely read anything."
Jenson had to match his pace and slowed down a little bit.
"It's still too fast."
Jenson looked at him speechlessly. "Do you not have folds in your brain?"
Zayne was p*ssed.
"Jens, if you say that I have fewer folds, I can admit to it. But saying that I have none is too insulting."
Jenson sighed. "I can't work with you."
Ultimately, Jenson made another copy and let Zayne use the computer next to him.
Without Zayne's interruption, Jenson's pace was getting faster and he soon completed it.
"Come here and see, Daddy."
Jay walked over, and Jenson pointed to the six photos arranged on the computer screen. He continued, "The identities of these six people are suspicious."
Zayne looked over at his computer screen. He had only looked through three days' worth of passenger information when Jenson had finished three months of it. Moreover, he had successfully screened out a few suspects. How on earth did he do it?
In the end, Zayne sighed. The brain of a genius was indeed not something comprehensible.
Jay said, "What's suspicious?"
Jenson replied, "The phone numbers and addresses of these six people have changed. Moreover, these six are not native to S Country. They had a transfer flight in S Country three years ago and went to six different countries respectively. However, I checked those six countries and there's no information about them. In my opinion, they're probably fugitives."
Chapter 1216
Chapter 1216
Zayne opened his mouth slightly in shock. "How do you know that?"
"Because I'm a hacker," said Jenson.
Zayne was aghast. "You must've violated many of the justice systems' networks to investigate their identity information. Jenson, the things that you're doing are against the..." Jenson gave him a stern look. "Do you have any evidence?"
Seeing that Jenson was brimming with confidence, Zayne relaxed by a whole lot.
"Then, that's alright." Zayne nodded.
Jay frowned in contemplation. He was incredibly selfish in protecting shortcomings and was reluctant to let his wife and children get involved. Hence, he came up with a shrewd idea. "Provide the information of these six people to the Intelligence Bureau. We help them do their jobs, and they help us in finding these people. It's the best of both worlds."
Jenson smiled and said, "Good idea."
Zayne stood at the side and listened to the shrewd
father-son conversation. He felt the heebie-jeebies.
He would rather offend Hades than this pair of human demons.
Ghost returned in the evening.
They came back with a filthy, slovenly dressed, tramplike man in their hands.
Zayne covered up his mouth and nose, wanting to retreat. However, seeing that Jay and Jenson, the neat freaks, were not backing off, he felt something amiss with the situation.
Sure enough, the wanderer walked in front of Jay and knelt. "I'm sorry, Master Ares. I failed to complete your task. I've let you down."
Jay closed his eyes and flashed back to their parting scene as if it were yesterday. "Storm, don't come back until you've located Baby Robbie."
In the past three years, Storm had wandered the streets because of this command while persistently looking for Baby Robbie.
Jay helped him up and said somewhat stiflingly, "Go and take a shower before changing your clothes."
Ghost then took Storm away.
Not long after, Storm reemerged with trimmed hair and a shaved beard. After all, he was a young guy in his 20s who was already handsome, so he looked more radiant than ever after a little cleaning up. Jay said, "Storm, draw the mysterious man who took Baby Robbie and remember not to neglect any of the little details."
Storm glanced at Zayne, and Zayne responded in a self-aware manner, "Don't look at me. They already asked me what the man looks like but I couldn't describe him, nor could I draw him. You all know I was a terrible student. I have poor language skills, and delicate works such as drawing are not something I'm good at."
Storm resentfully shook his head and took out a pen and paper before he began to draw.
When the man's image was coming together on the paper, Zayne's eyes flashed with indignation. "That's the b*stard."
Jay and Jenson glanced at each other. Then, both of them looked at the pictures of the six men on the computer. Finally, they locked their gazes on the second photo.
Even though it was an ID photo, Jay and Jenson were able to distinguish the most delicate details of a human's facial features.
Jay pointed toward the picture of the man and asked Storm, "Storm, take a good look at this. Is this the person?"
Storm looked at it for quite some time and said, "I'm quite sure that it's him, Master Ares."
Jenson was confused. "When this person boarded the plane, he wasn't with anyone else. Could it be that he went abroad all on his own and left Baby Robbie in S Country?"
Jay said, "Deliver this person's information to the Intelligence Bureau. We'll wait for the Intelligence Bureau's reply.
"Okay."
The busy day had finally ended. At night, Jay lay down on the bed and called Josephine.
"Give the phone to Angeline." As soon as the phone call went through, Jay started commanding Josephine.
Josephine pouted and complained. "The least you can do is to greet me first."
Angeline took the phone over, and Jay's voice immediately turned softer.
"Baby, what did you have for dinner?"
Chapter 1217
Chapter 1217
Angeline had finally gotten out of Jay's strict control, so she begged the kitchen aunty to make her a bowl of instant noodles. However, she did not think that Jay would question her so soon. Fortunately, Angeline was quick-witted. She replied to him in a normal tone, "Chicken noodles with some mushrooms."
Fearing that he would get suspicious, she added, "There was minced chicken, mushrooms, and other vegetables. It was delicious, and I finished it up real quick." Jay nodded his head. "That's good to hear."
"
Jay questioned Angeline's clothing attire, meals, and sleeping schedule comprehensively. Angeline was able to answer everything impeccably. Then, a series of sweet talks began. "Do you miss me yet?" Jay asked abruptly.
Josephine, who was listening from the side, had shivers down her spine when she heard these words." Big Brother, you've been gone for a day. It's been a single day."
Angeline nodded tearfully. "I do. I miss you very much." It looked like she missed him from the bottom
of her heart.
Josephine was speechless and merely took the pillow to cover her face.
Jay replied, "Okay. I'll be back as soon as possible."
"Okay."
Josephine indignantly protested. "Jay Ares, can you hang up the phone? It's been two hours. We're heading to bed now."
Jay could only hang up the phone reluctantly.
He left the bedroom and went into the living room to pour a glass of water only to see Zayne sitting in front of the computer while playing games with some instant noodles in his hand. The packaging on the table was labeled 'Hot and Spicy Chicken Mushroom Noodles'.
Jay's expression instantly turned dark. That bratty Angeline... lied to him?
Did she say minced chicken with mushrooms and vegetables? Were they not merely seasoning powder?
Everyone in the room could feel there was something amiss with Jay's aura. Zayne looked at his instant noodles suspiciously, then back at Jay's cold gaze. He said with a grimace, "Why are you looking at my instant noodles that way? Do you plan on taking revenge on it or something?"
Jenson quickly realized what was going on. "Mommy had instant noodles for dinner?"
Jay's jawline, which was comparable to a Greek sculpture, fell into a bow. Then, he nodded.
Jenson said gloomily, "Josephine must've been the one who instigated Mommy to eat those kinds of junk food."
Zayne slammed his noodles on the computer keyboard and glared at Jenson bitterly. "Jens, why do you blame your aunt for everything? She doesn't even like instant noodles. However, your mommy does, so it was definitely her idea."
Although Zayne's logic was plausible, Jenson was never one who would retort logically with common sense. "She's your wife. Of course, you're on her side." Zayne's face turned red in an instant.
The Ghost members saw how speechless Zayne was because of Jenson and immediately gave a thumbs up. "Jenson's awesome."
That night, Jay unexpectedly had insomnia.
He felt a little empty in his heart because Angeline was not by his side, and he was slightly worried that Josephine was incapable of taking care of Angeline. The very next day.
When Angeline woke up, she found out she had unfortunately caught a cold.
Every time Josephine heard her sneeze, the fear of her life ending was carved more profoundly and deeper into her bones.
"Crap, my life's over. You have a cold, Sis Angeline. Big Brother is going to end me."
Angeline replied to her as if she was used to it, "Don't worry. My health is not as good as before, so it's common for me to catch a small cold. Perhaps it was just a tad too cold last night. I'll be fine after taking some medicine."
Josephine was utterly anxious. "I'll still take you to Grand Asia Hospital just in case."
"Alright then."
After they hurriedly ate their breakfast, Josephine brought Angeline to Grand Asia Hospital.
It was their own hospital, so they were exempted from many cumbersome registration procedures. However, it was still hard for Josephine to find a doctor who would treat Angeline and obtain some medications according to their prescriptions.
After they were done seeing the doctor, Josephine pushed Angeline to a specific window to fetch the medications. Angeline was afraid that Josephine would get tired from pushing her everywhere, so she said to Josephine, "Josie, you can go ahead. I'll wait for you in the waiting area."
Chapter 1218
Chapter 1218
Josephine glanced at the waiting room and noticed that the people in the VIP lounge were getting lesser. All the family members must have gone inside the ward to visit the patients. Josephine did not feel like making Angeline feel bad as well, so she accepted her suggestion. "Sis Angeline, I'll be right back. You must wait for me right here."
"Go ahead."
Josephine ran forward at lightning speed. Yet, a few seconds later, Angeline felt a pair of hands touching the back of her wheelchair.
"Who's there?" Angeline asked warily.
"Sis." A low yet malevolently flattering voice was heard.
"Sera?"
Sera's voice penetrated Angeline's ears like a lingering soul. "What a coincidence, Sis. We meet again."
"Why are you here?"
"Thanks to that silly Josephine who gave my mother a VIP card, I was able to admit myself into Grand Asia Hospital without any obstruction."
Angeline realized that Sera had been admitted into Grand Asia Hospital under Josephine's name.
"How did you become like this, Sis? Are you paralyzed from head to toe? Tsk, tsk, tsk, I do sympathize with you. You can't even take care of yourself. Who'll be so unlucky to end up with you in the future?
"I was thinking, how long will a perfect man like Jay Ares tolerate you? A person like you who needs to be waited upon is just a burden for others.
"Think about it, Sis. Will Jay detest you in three to five years?"
Sera's words were being stabbed into Angeline's chest with sharp blades. Her chest was undulating from being stirred up...
Josephine was running back anxiously when she saw Sera standing in front of Angeline. When she noticed how unstable Angeline looked, Josephine was so shocked that all of the medications in her hand fell to the ground.
"What are you doing here, Sera?" Josephine ran over, almost out of control. She grabbed onto Sera's hair and started punching.
"What did you do to Angeline? Evil wench."
Sera's eyes overflowed with a weeping smile.
"Josie, let's go," Angeline muttered slowly.
Josephine abruptly pushed Angeline away.
Jay stayed up until dawn but did not dare to open the monitoring software so rashly. He was afraid that the little brat Josephine was still getting dressed.
He waited patiently until nine o'clock before calling Josephine.
As soon as Josephine answered the phone, she was almost out of breath from crying. "I'm sorry, Big Brother. I didn't take good care of Angeline..."
After hearing this news, Jay finally understood the reason for his restless heart last night.
"Spit it out."
"Sis Angeline has a cold..." Josephine cried so much that she started speaking intermittently.
Jay rubbed his eyebrows. "Is it serious?"
"It's not."
Josephine continued, "But when I took Sis Angeline to see the doctor, she met Sera there. I don't know what Sera said to Sis Angeline, but she's not in a good state." Jay's face turned pale, and he turned around to order Jenson, "Jens, immediately book a return ticket for Daddy."
Jenson nodded. "Okay."
Before Jay left, Jenson said to his father, "Daddy, you can go and take care of Mommy. I'll be here. I'll do my best to find news about Baby Robbie."
Jay said, "As soon as there's news, notify me immediately." "Okay."
Chapter 1219
Chapter 1219
Carefree Garden, 11 o'clock at night.
The housekeepers had already left, and only Josephine and Angeline were in the huge villa. They were both sitting on the sofa.
Angeline was curled up in the corner, and there was n o expression on her face. It was as if she had fallen into deep meditation. Josephine sat beside her, crying silently.
When the villa's door was pushed open, a cool breeze spread into the living room.
Jay appeared in front of Josephine without warning. When she saw him, the look of self-blame on her face became even worse. "I'm sorry."
Jay saw how reddened Josie's eyes were and was hesitant to blame her.
When his sharp gaze shifted to Angeline's body, he was immediately filled with distress. The luggage in his hand slid to the ground.
He dragged his solemn feet and sauntered toward Angeline.
Angeline thought that Josephine's apology was for her, and she felt that Josie must have been frightened
because of her. As such, she sighed and said sorrowfully, "Josie, don't blame yourself. It's not your fault."
Jay stopped in front of her, quietly listening to her next sentence.
Angeline continued bitterly, "Today, Sera told me that a person like me is merely a burden for your brother."
Then, a ray of demon-like gaze shot out of Jay's falcon eyes.
If Sera Severe were in front of him at this moment, he would have torn her to pieces. He was regretting that he only broke one of her legs that day.
He had indeed let her off too easily.
Angelina's conversation turned as she said, "Even if it was unpleasant to hear, I've given it a thought. It just hit me that I can't let your brother take care of me my whole life..."
At this point, Jay's eyes darkened.
Josephine looked at her big brother's demonic eyes and was afraid that Angeline would continue to utter something untimely. She quickly tried to appease Angeline, saying, "Sis Angeline, no matter what you become, Big Brother will never abandon you."
Angeline smiled bitterly. "Of course. I know that he won't give up on me, just like I never gave up on him. But your brother deserves to soar high in the sky. He's trapped here because of me. If I love him, I shouldn't try to restrain him."
The coldness in Jay's eyes instantly formed into a world of ice and snow. If Angeline was able to say something so frustrating, then his heart would simply freeze up.
Jay stepped forward and sat in front of Angeline. He asked in a deep voice, "So, are you going to let me fly away?"
Angeline was flustered. "When did you come back, Jaybie?"
Jay answered dejectedly, "When you were at your worst."
Angeline retorted, "I'm not at my worst."
"You were about to give up on me. Is that not your worst?"
Angeline stretched out her hand to touch Jay. Jay proceeded to take her hand softly and held it tightly in his palm.
Angeline smiled sweetly. "Who said I would abandon you? I told you that in this life and in the next life, I'll depend on you for the rest of eternity."
The world of snow and ice in Jay's eyes seemed to have been enchanted. The sun was shining brightly in an instant.
"Now that's a good girl."
Angeline said solemnly again, "Jaybie, I should be grateful to Sera. She's opened up my eyes. From now on, you can no longer treat me like a giant baby. You shouldn't be hugging me downstairs and spoonfeeding me..."
Jay interrupted her domineeringly. "I like doing it."
Angeline,"..."
Angeline said helplessly, "Jaybie, I want my life to be worth living. Living is a process of giving and dedication, not just receiving. Do you understand?"
Jay froze his eyebrows. He knew that this girl was kind-hearted, and she merely did not want to drag others down. She wanted to be able to solve her own basic needs.
Jay said, "You're my woman. It would be best if you enjoyed the treatment of a queen when you're sick. Don't feel guilty, Angeline."
Angeline retorted, "But you're not treating me as if I'm the queen. You're treating me as if I'm Mother Mary. It feels like if I'm slightly disturbed, the whole universe will start crumbling for you."

Chapter 1220
Josephine felt deeply affected and was starting to nod her head like a bobblehead.
Jay stared at Josephine coldly and she quickly lowered her head.
Jay uttered, "Then, what do you want?"
"I'm not sick," Angeline said, "From now on, you have to treat me as a normal person."
Jay,
Josephine,
"Neurosis is also a sickness!" Jay said softly.
"It's just a somatic symptom disorder. I can overcome it," Angeline said with determination.
Jay was well aware of Angeline's temper. When she was in a fit of anger, it was best to put up with it." Okay, I promise you. But it's late now. Shouldn't you rest?" Angeline nodded.
Angeline said to Josephine, "Josie, stay here for the night."
Josephine picked up her car key and tried to slip away quickly. "I won't be the person who disturbs the
newlywed couple. I won't be bothering you two now, ciao."
Then, she timidly glanced at Jay before quickly fleeing the scene.
Angeline said, "Look at how much you've terrified Josie."
Jay felt very wronged by this. "Well, I didn't scold her."
Angeline knew him too well. His sharp eyes were more brutal than his scolding.
Jay stretched out his hand and picked Angeline up, yet she was unwilling. "Jaybie, you can hold on to me but you have to let me walk, okay?"
Jay replied, "Can your plan start tomorrow? I want to hug you."
Angeline indulged in his tender embrace and stopped insisting.
He carried Angeline back into their bedroom and remembered about her cold. "Have you taken your medication?"
Angeline nodded. "Yeah."
After finally coaxing Angeline to sleep, Jay opened up his icy pair of eyes.
Sera Severe actually dared to hurt Angeline. How vicious could that woman be?
Jay suddenly had a thought to eradicate her.
He sent a text message to Dr. Shawn of Grand Asia's Orthopedic Medical Department: [Make sure Sera Severe's leg stays useless.]
Jay was a vengeful person, and he could not stand how Sera said that Angelina would be a burden as long as she was alive. This was what he called giving someone a dose of their own medicine.
Dr. Shawn saw the text message from Master Ares and a wicked smile appeared on his lips.
He replied with a short text: [Understood.]
After Jay deleted the text message, he placed his phone on the bedside table. Only then could he set his heart to look closely at his little wifey. Her exquisite facial features and her perseverance made her look incredibly charming.
He could not figure it out. Did Sera have water in her brain? Was that why she uttered those stupid words about him abandoning Angeline?
He closed his eyes slowly and descended into a beautiful dreamland.
The next day, Jay was awakened by the sound coming from the stairs.
He opened his eyes, habitually glancing at the person in his arms. He found that Angeline had disappeared. Jay was so petrified that he rolled out of bed and immediately ran out.
He saw Angeline leaning by the staircase wall and moving with difficulties one step at a time. She would sit on the floor accidentally because of her trembling legs. When he saw this sight, Jay's eyes started welling up.
There was no need to work so hard, Angeline!
