Ch. 1781..1790
Chapter 1781
"It's her! Chloe pretended to be ill on purpose and summoned Brother Jay to Fragrant Vessel Court to see her, then Judy made sexual advances toward Jay... Sis Angeline saw them in action. I don't know how things turned out like that either," Josephine said.
Grand Old Master Ares refused to believe no matter what that Jay would mess around with Judy. Even his voice was quivering when he spoke, "What are you talking about? Jay and Judy... It's impossible. I know better than anyone just how much Jay loves Angeline."
Although Grand Old Master Severe agreed that this was implausible, the facts were right in front of their eyes. He lamented, "Look, Brother Dylan. Your grandson is having an affair with Judy and Josephine saw it with her own eyes. Angeline must have run away in exasperation when she caught them red-handed."
Grand Old Master Ares pleaded with Grand Old Master Ares, "Scott, can we not make rash speculations before the truth is revealed?"
Grand Old Master Severe pondered for a while and nodded. Jay had always been a man who kept his nose clean, certainly not a scumbag who would do such a thing.
Grand Old Master Ares roared exasperatedly, "Where's Judy? Bring that vixen over to me."
At that moment, Judy and Sandra were discussing their countermeasures. When they heard someone calling for Judy, Sandra gave her a wary look.
Judy dropped her head and walked to the grand old masters timidly. Grand Old Master Ares raged, yelling, "You'd better explain to me what's going on!"
Judy fell to the ground with a thud and said with tears in her eyes, "Brother Jay and I are in love. We've committed unforgivable sins behind Sis Angeline's back. I deserve to be punished."
Grand Old Master Severe was furious when he heard what she said. "What did you say?"
Grand Old Master Ares would rather die than believe that Jay would betray Angeline. He stood up furiously and roared, "You're lying! JJ has obsessive-compulsive disorder. He told me that no other woman car get close to him aside from Angeline."
Judy said, "It's true. I'm not lying. Brother Jay fell in love with me when we were in the hospital last time."
Grand Old Master Ares was aware that Jay spent six days in the hospital when Chloe was ill. All of a sudden, he found no reason to carry on.
Judy felt relieved at the sight of the astonishment on Grand Old Master Ares' face. As long as she could fool Grand Old Master Ares, then he might agree to let Jay marry her.
Everything was chaotic at the moment. Coupled with the fact that Angeline was still missing, Grand Old Master Ares might blame Angeline for abandoning Jay at this time and force them to get a divorce. Perhaps, he might even make her Jay's rightful wife.
However, she did not expect Grand Old Master Ares to love Angeline like his own granddaughter. He roared with uncontrollable fury, "How dare you seduce Jay and hurt Angeline? Tourmaline Estate is no place for someone like you. Get lost!"
Seeing that something was wrong, Sandra rushed over to speak on Judy's behalf, "Please calm down, Grand Old Master Ares. I know Judy has made a mistake this time, but this is not the time to punish her. We still don't know if Jay will make it out alive. What he needs right now is Judy and Angelina's care. Now that Angeline is missing, Jay will be really disappointed if he can't see either Angeline or Judy."
Grand Old Master Ares boiled with rage. "If he has fallen in love with another woman apart from Angeline then his death is not to be regretted."
Sandra's jaw dropped.
She was surprised that Grand Old Master Ares, someone who treasured Jay so greatly, would say such a thing. It was obvious that he regarded Angeline highly.
Chapter 1782
Chapter 1782
Angeline's status in the Ares family was much higher than she thought.
Unlike Grand Old Master Ares, Grand Old Master Yorks was comparatively defensive of his own grandson. "Dylan, I don't care what Jay did, but he's a grandson I treasure a lot. I'll never allow anything to happen to him. If you drive Judy away and cause Jay to die because of this, then I will fight you till the end."
Grand Old Master Severe pondered in silence for a very long time, then held back the agitated and furious Grand Old Master Ares, saying, "Calm down, Dylan. I think this incident is really strange. Jay has always been upright and kind. He'll never have an affair with another woman. We should calm down and wait for him to wake up before asking him again."
Grand Old Master Ares said, "Argh, I was just worried that you'd get anxious, okay? Well, I'm glad you can think of it this way."
Grand Old Master Severe said, "I've sent someone to look for Angeline. I just hope she's okay."
Seeing that they had failed to sow dissension, Sandra and Judy began feeling uneasy.
At this moment, Jordan, who had remained silent the
whole time, suddenly questioned Chloe in a sullen tone, "Don't you think you should explain yourself to me, Chloe?"
Chloe was full of worry for Jay at the moment, and when she suddenly heard Jordan's voice, she grew flustered. She replied, "I don't know why things turned out this way either. I was just creating an opportunity for Jay and Judy to spend time with each other but I never would have expected Jay to spit out blood so suddenly!
"Oh, I get it now. It must be Angeline's fault. She kept knocking on the door panel and frightened Jay with her aggressiveness, causing him to spit blood because he was too flustered."
Jordan was like a lion that had gone mad. He suddenly rushed up to Chloe's wheelchair and raged a t her like a bull. "You... You... You're beyond redemption! Chloe Yorks, Jay is the only son I have. All my life, I've never fulfilled my responsibilities as a father. Now, I will not allow anyone to hurt him. If I find out that his illness has something to do with you, then I will not let you off so easily."
Grand Old Master Yorks stood up with trembling feet. "What are you saying, Jordan? How could Chloe hurt Jay when she loves him so much?"
Fury tore through Jordan. "You don't know this, Dad, but your daughter's hatred for Angeline has reached the point of madness. She didn't forgive Angeline at all. She resents Angeline for snatching her son away, and now I suspect that she's the mastermind behind this incident."
Grand Old Master Yorks said, "I know Chloe hates Angeline, but she won't do anything to hurt Jay. Trust me, I know my daughter."
It was at this moment that the door of the emergency room opened. The doctor walked out and went straight to Grand Old Master Ares, saying with a solemn expression, "Grand Old Master Ares, Master Ares is out of danger for now."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
However, what the doctor said next made everyone feel as though they were blown straight to hell. "We detected unidentified drugs in Master Ares' body. Both of these drugs can be lethal once a chemical reaction takes place. I think Master Ares was poisoned and this poison will cause his organs to gradually fail. You need to be mentally prepared!"
"What drugs?"
"One is a drug that can paralyze the nerves and produce hallucinations; another one can cause sexual arousal and desire."
As soon as the doctor finished talking, Jordan slapped Chloe on her face hard.
He yelled hysterically, "You gave your son Love Potion and Happy Pill? Are you only going to stop once he dies?"
Chapter 1783
Chapter 1783
Chloe covered her burning face while feeling extremely flustered at the moment. Jay's life was hanging by a thread and that left her with an immense heartache. She cried out in devastation, "I only gave him Love Potion but not Happy Pill. Why would I harm him when I know these two drugs work against each other?" She had exposed herself while trying to prove her own innocence.
Grand Old Master Yorks walked over with trembling feet. He pointed at Chloe and said exasperatedly, "You gave Jay Love Potion just to get him and Judy together?" Chloe said, "Dad, Spencer has taken Love Potion as well. Love Potion has no side effects. Otherwise, Spencer wouldn't have lived for so many years with n o issues."
Grand Old Master Yorks was so furious that he burst out laughing. "Haha, I've raised a beast. Even a vicious tiger will not eat its cub yet you actually poisoned your own son? Chloe Yorks, I regret it. I regret saving you from the military intelligence division, and I regret sending Cole to Tourmaline Estate to find you.
Look at yourself. Look at what you've become? I thought only your appearance has changed, but who would've thought that even your heart has turned so vicious and terrifying."
Condemned by both men who loved her the most, Chloe's fragile heart began to bleed. "Please forgive me, Dad. I know I was wrong."
She reached out to take Grand Old Master Yorks' hand, but Grand Old Master Yorks evaded it.
She then turned to Jordan for help. "Darling, you said you won't give up on me no matter what, didn't you? You can't go back on your word."
Jordan said weakly, "JJ is the fruit of our love, and when you hurt him, you've already trampled on our love to the point where it's scarred and battered. Chloe Yorks, I have loved you for a lifetime, and because of you, I have turned against my own father. Because of you, I abandoned my glamorous identity as the young master of the Ares family and willingly spent the rest of my life with you in the underground palace where I lived every day in darkness. I thought you were worth all of it.
"I've finally realized how wrong I was now. I've spoiled you and turned you into a horrifying beast. You're spoiled and overbearing. You think you're infallible and never judge something on its own merits. You live for yourself. You're selfish and egocentric. I've decided to give up on you."
Chloe was appalled. "What do you mean? Jordan?"
"Let's get a divorce. I don't want to see you ever again. Every time I see you, I think of my son, and that breaks my heart greatly," Jordan said with heartache.
Chloe then begged Grand Old Master Yorks, "Please persuade Jordan for me, Dad. I can't live without him."
Grand Old Master Yorks lamented, "How am I supposed to do that? I'm tempted to give up on you myself. If a father-daughter relationship can change like a marital status, then I would like to give up on you as well."
Chloe let go of Grand Old Master Yorks' hand in despair.
Chloe suddenly went berserk and jumped off the wheelchair, pouncing on Sandra and Judy.
"It's all your fault! You were the ones who gave Jay Happy Pill, right? Are you trying to kill my son? I will kill you both."
Sandra and Judy backed away. Sandra wailed, "What are you saying, Sis Chloe? You're the one who hates Angeline and wants her dead. You're the one who would rather die than take Shirley and Crystal in. You're the one who said that they're fond of Angeline and will only take Angeline's side. You're the one who insisted on pairing Judy and Jay together."
Chloe looked up at Sandra and finally realized that Sandra, the expert at harem fights, was now pointing the gun at her when problems arose.
Chloe felt a great sense of remorse and shame.
It was an indisputable fact that Jay's life was now hanging by a thread.
Grand Old Master Ares and Grand Old Master Yorks were hit hard by these facts and felt as though they had fallen to the bottom of the abyss. At this moment, both of them looked extremely lifeless. Grand Old Master Ares muttered in despair, "You can't die before I do, JJ."
His body started shaking, and he looked as if he was about to collapse at any moment. Jordan rushed over to hold him and consoled him, saying, "JJ will be fine, Dad. We'll think of a way."
Grand Old Master Ares looked at Jordan with a lifeless expression, saying, "I told you a long time ago to keep an eye on your wife. Why didn't you listen?"
Chapter 1784
Chapter 1784
Jordan said, "I've warned Chloe many times, Dad. I told her not to treat Angeline as her enemy and thought she would listen, but I never would've thought that she would be so stubborn." Jordan was addressing Chloe in a more distant and indifferent manner.
This broke Chloe's heart even more, yet even so, she was more concerned about Jay at the moment.
In the ward, Jay slowly woke up.
He asked to see Angeline stubbornly. "Where's Angeline?" His voice was weak and extremely soft.
The doctor walked out and told Grand Old Master Ares who was waiting outside the ward, "Master Ares wants to see Ms. Severe."
This was what Grand Old Master Ares was most worried about. He sighed heavily and then glared bitterly at Chloe, snarling. "It's all your fault for causing this misunderstanding between Angeline and Jay. Do you want to see my grandson die with regrets?"
Chloe cowered in the corner, blaming herself. "I didn't expect things to turn out this way."
When Jay did not see Angeline, he, who was already
weak to begin with, started feeling groggy. His mind was fixed on the scene where Angeline turned around and ran away after catching him and Judy doing unspeakable things.
He thought Angeline was mad at him.
He thought Angeline had given up on him.
At the thought of these things, he broke down completely.
He struggled to sit up from the hospital bed, then staggered out of the ward.
"Angeline." He only had one thought in mind: find Angeline.
Outside the ward. When the crowd saw Jay running out with a pale complexion and his body shivering like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, they all felt extremely heartbroken. Grand Old Master Ares pleaded with him, "Be good, JJ. Stay in bed and rest."
Jay looked around to find Angeline but failed. He collapsed all of a sudden, tears rolling down his cheeks.
At that moment, his dashing face, scarlet pupils, and charming teardrops formed the most pitiable yet bewitching picture.
"Where's Angeline? Is she not going to forgive me anymore?" he asked with unease.
Grand Old Master Ares said, "JJ, Angeline will forgive you if she knows that you had been forced by circumstances."
"But I don't have time anymore." Jay was extremely anxious. He could not bring himself to part with her while still having this regret in him...
Chloe crawled up to Jay's feet and begged him. "I was wrong, JJ. Please forgive me."
When Jay saw Chloe, his dazed expression revealed a miserable smile.
"Hehe... Forgive you? Will Angeline come back if I do?
"Chloe Yorks, you gave me life and I will now return it to you. I no longer owe you anything. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other anymore."
Chapter 1785
Chapter 1785
Chloe looked at Jay with great despair. "I know I was wrong, JJ. Please forgive me one more time."
She stretched out her hand to stroke Jay's foot, but Jay pushed her hand away without the slightest compunction and yelled angrily, "I will not forgive you ever again. If I forgive you, you'll only bully Angeline. Don't even hope that I'll forgive you. You gave me life, and you've taken it away. Our debt has been written off. I'm now relieved knowing that I don't owe you anything anymore." i
"Please don't, JJ. I'm your mother. How can you break a mother-son relationship?" Chloe burst into tears.
Jay let out a charming smile. "You poisoned me, so you'll be my murderer if I die. Chloe Yorks, I'm not going to send you to prison because I owe you my life, and only by doing this can I get rid of you without feeling bad about it... Do you know just how eager I am to get rid of you?"
Every accusation Jay made against Chloe encased her heart in ice.
Her son loathed her this much?
He was eager to break off their mother-son relationship?
Chloe finally understood the meaning behind Jordan's warning and realized that it was not entirely groundless.
Once she destroyed their mother-son relationship herself, she was actually going to lose her son forever.
Forever.
Jay smiled brighter than blooming flowers, but in Chloe's opinion, this smile carried poison.
Jay pushed everyone away and slowly walked out.
Jordan asked, "Where are you going, JJ?"
Jay turned his head. "I'm going to find Angeline."
He refused to believe it. Angeline must be hiding in a corner licking her wounds now. She must be extremely heartbroken right now.
He staggered a few steps. Unsure what was running through his head, he suddenly turned back. "Maybe I shouldn't tell her the truth. It's better for her to send me away hating me rather than loving me."
Grand Old Master Severe knew what Jay was talking about. Jay was still concerned about Angeline's feelings even at this point. Feeling both touched and sad at the same time, Grand Old Master Severe lamented, "I believe Angeline will want to know the truth, JJ. You don't have to look for her, though. You need all the rest you can get. I promise to find her and bring her back to you."
Jay looked out the window in silence, not saying a word.
'Where are you, Angeline?'
From then on, Jay became extremely quiet as though he had said all that he needed to say in this lifetime.
No one knew what sort of hell Angeline had been through.
When Angeline saw Jay spitting out crimson blood with a pale and blue complexion, she knew that something was wrong with him.
Her mind was blank, and all her thoughts condensed into one: Help Jay seek medical treatment and save him no matter what.
She rushed back to the villa and picked up her phone to give Boye a call, but for some reason, the call would not go through. Angeline panicked and was extremely flustered.
She picked up her handbag and rushed to the airport. She must get to Cloud City to find Grandma Boye.
What she did not know was that her body's state had gone back to square one after experiencing severe shock, anxiety, and exhaustion all at the same time.
She boarded the plane, but when she disembarked from it, she collapsed at the airport's exit.
Chapter 1786
Chapter 1786
She arrived at Boye's villa, not knowing how she got here. In the middle of the night, Grandma Boye heard clatters and knocks. Though the noise was very subtle, it was abrupt and rang constantly in her ears. Grandma Boye got up from the bed. There were bags of luggage piled up in the living room. That was the preparation she made to leave Cloud City.
When she opened the garden gate of the villa, she saw Angeline standing there with disheveled hair like a ghost. Her hands were stiff as claws as she reached out to grab Grandma Boye's trousers. Her tight throat let out an abnormal stream of air.
"Save... Jaybie."
Boye did not know what sort of disaster the young couple had gone through, but when she saw Angeline suffering from recurring somatization disorder, Boye felt extremely heartbroken. This recurrence was the most serious she had ever seen where all of Angelina's muscles were obviously tensed.
She shouted at the house, "Darling!"
Grandpa ran out of the house and was shocked to see the state that Angeline was in.
"What's wrong with Angelline?"
Boye replied sadly, "Something must have happened in Imperial Capital. Angeline is here to beg me to go back and save Jay."
They lifted Angeline onto the bed.
Then, the elderly couple exchanged glances at each other.
Boye sounded extremely guilty, saying, "JJ is my grandson. I must help him. I'm sorry, darling. I don't think I can travel the world with you anymore."
A touch of disappointment emerged on the old man's face. He studied Boye's expression fixedly and hesitated to speak several times.
"Will you get back with him when you return to Imperial Capital, Boye?"
Boye reached out and took her partner's hand, saying earnestly, "If I tell you that I have no intention to get back together with him when I return to Imperial Capital, are you willing to come with me on this trip?" The old man was surprised. "You know me. I've loved you all my life, Boye. If you're willing to accompany me to the end of life, then of course, I'll be really happy about it. But I know you can't let go of them. I don't know who you really love, but I will respect your choice regardless."
Boye nodded with tears in her eyes, saying, "You know what? My life will be tragic without you. Although my ex-husbands loved me, I wasn't their one and only.
But you, although you're just an ordinary man, you hold an extraordinary existence. You built my career, and from the day I promised to be with you, I knew for sure that you alone will be my one and only." The old man heaved a sigh of relief, his facial features easing up.
"Boye."
Both elderly embraced each other.
The old man said, "Although I have no children of my own, Jay often played chess with me and Angeline cheered me up all the time. I've already regarded them as my own grandchildren. Now that they're in trouble, I certainly won't stand around doing nothing."
Boye was elated.
The old man loved her, tolerated her shortcomings, and loved her loved ones without boundaries. That made her glad because she had chosen the right person.
Boye said, "You're going to be really exhausted these few days then. Angeline is already paralyzed and Jay is in critical condition. I think we need to take her back to Imperial Capital and treat her and Jay together."
The old man said, "Both Jay and Angeline carry boundless love. What's a bit of exhaustion if we can save their lives, right?"
Aiding a person was like aiding in putting out a fire.
Grandma Boye and her husband hired a medical team to escort Angeline back to Imperial Capital.
Fortunately, Angeline had given Boye the key to Carefree Garden last time. When their helicopter arrived in Imperial Capital, Boye took out the key and said emotionally, "Darling, this is the house Angeline gave us. We'll send Angeline back tonight and put the medical equipment in Carefree Garden. Treatment begins tomorrow."
Chapter 1787
Chapter 1787
The old man said, "Angeline is a kind-hearted child. She gave us a warm home, and she also ended up saving herself in the end. This will save us a lot of time in rescuing Jay." Soon, Boye and the team arrived at Carefree Garden.
They realized that the lights in Carefree Garden were on and that someone was inside.
Boye and Grandpa exchanged glances with each other. Boye opened the door with the keys straight away.
Inside the villa, Jay was sitting on the couch dejectedly. As he lacked strength, he was leaning back on the cushion of the couch while resting his head on it. His dark eyes were sunken, which made his facial features look extremely prominent.
Jay was perhaps the only person who could still look so good even when he was seriously ill.
Jenson sat beside Jay in silence, keeping him company.
His parents were in trouble, and as Grand Asia's leader, Jenson received the news almost immediately. However, Baby Robbie and the rest of the sisters were shut off in school. Afraid that they would cause trouble, Jenson chose to keep the news of their father's illness a secret until things were sorted out.
All of a sudden, the door was heard opening and Jay's weak voice rang out. "Jens, go and see who's here."
In order to lighten up Jay's mood, Jens said, "Maybe Mommy is back, Daddy."
Jay said, "She won't come back anymore."
It had been a whole day. If Angeline had forgiven him, then she would have come home a long time ago.
Jenson was slightly startled. Daddy had been asking to come back to Carefree Garden. Was it not because he was hoping for Mommy to forgive him and come back here to see him?
However, too many people had dropped by to see him today that even the threshold was full of footprints. Every time Daddy heard the door opening, he would go from being surprised to being disappointed real quick.
Now, Daddy was sure that Mommy did not want him anymore.
Jenson stood up forlornly and walked outside.
At the entrance of the garden, Boye was pulling several carts of equipment and unloading them.
Jenson was stunned when he looked at Boye and the old man, both of whom were strangers to him.
"Who are you?"
Boye shuddered when she heard the cold and stern voice behind her. She turned around and saw Jenson. From Jenson's face, one that resembled Jay's yet was even colder than Jay's, she knew at once that this was Jenson.
"Are you Jens?"
Jenson's eagle eyes revealed a trace of confusion. His sharp eagle eyes scanned the medical equipment on the ground, then as though he was enlightened, an unrealistic idea popped up in his mind. "You're Boye... Great-grandmother?"
Boye glanced at her husband unnaturally, a hint of resistance on her face.
Jenson understood what was going on and said immediately, "Come with me."
When Jenson brought Boye into the living room, Boye was struck dumb when she saw Jay's ghastly pale face illuminated under the dazzling crystal chandelier.
"J J."
Jay looked at Boye listlessly and said weakly, "You're here."
He thought Boye just happened to be in Imperial Capital, hence he did not seem too excited to see her.
"Poisoned?" Boye asked.
Jay nodded calmly. "Mm."
Seeing how he was able to remain so calm even when he was sick, Boye thought it was both funny and infuriating. "What did the doctor say?" Boye asked.
"I'm about to die," Jay said calmly.
Boye, "..."
"Watch what you're saying, child. Your grandma is here. You're not going to die," Boye chided him.
Jay stared at her speechlessly. "Who says I want you to treat me?"
Boye,
Jenson knew that Daddy wanted to die because he had lost Mommy. Worried that his father's lackadaisical attitude would offend Great-grandma, h e quickly explained to Boye, "Don't get mad at my dad, Great-grandma. He's just upset because he can't find Mommy."
Chapter 1788
Chapter 1788
Boye finally knew what was going on.
"Is that so?"
Boye said mischievously, "If you don't want to be treated, so be it. You said it yourself. Don't come back and beg me."
Jenson,
Jay staggered to his feet, saying, "Since you're here, I'll leave Carefree Garden to you. I'll go back to Tourmaline Estate with Jens."
Boye said, "Where do you, a critically ill patient, think you're going? Listen, if you take a few more steps, the poison will spread and you might die just like that."
Jenson,
The conversation between Great-grandma and Daddy was truly worrying.
Jay said nonchalantly, "Do you think I'm afraid of death?"
From the moment Angeline abandoned him, his heart was already dead.
Boye looked at Jay and nodded. "Yup."
Jay rolled his eyes.
"If you have any sedatives to euthanize, please give me some," Jay said.
Boye mulled it over and said, "I do have some. How much do you want?"
Jenson was stunned...
Jay looked at Boye speechlessly. "You're a genius doctor, aren't you? You don't know how much I need?"
Boye said, "I'm worried that you'll hate me once you take the lethal sedatives and die."
Jay replied, "I'm too busy for that."
Boye said, "Okay then, I'll give it to you."
She took out a vial from her handbag. It was an antidote, a biological agent. She handed it to Jenson." Go on now. Send your Daddy off."
Jenson took it with trembling hands and turned around to enter the kitchen. He walked out with a glass of water.
Boye stared curiously at Jenson. She was about to end Jay's life, and Jay wanted so badly to die. Was this kid's heart made of steel? How could he not have any reaction at all? What was more, the child actually cooperated with her to prepare the 'lethal sedatives'.
When Jenson suddenly lowered his head and took a sip, Boye panicked and said, "That drug can kill you. Do you think that's a potion? Why are you drinking it?"
Jenson was terribly calm. "If Daddy can drink it, so can I. I'll drink it even if it's poison."
Boye was speechless.
"Like father, like son."
They were both crazy.
"Give it to your father."
Jenson handed it to Jay, but Jay did not reach out to take it.
He could already guess that this was the antidote.
Boye was stunned. If Jay was determined to die, then this would be a huge problem.
She had no choice but to launch her ultimate move. "If you don't want to drink it, then forget it. If you want to die, then I'll help you. When you're dead, I'll just send the paralyzed Angeline to the welfare agency and ask the caregiver there to take care of her. Say, do you think the caregivers will abuse her and prick her with needles? It doesn't matter anyway because she can't feel anything anymore, so even if they pricked holes on her body, she won't feel any pain."
Jay's breathing turned rapid. "What did you say? What happened to Angeline?"
Boye looked at the painless expression on Jay's face in the face of death, and his anxious and uneasy expression at the mere mention of Angeline's name, and teased him, "Go ahead and die then." Jay suddenly roared wildly, "What happened to Angeline?"
Boye choked with sobs, "She crawled all the way to Cloud City in the middle of the night begging me to save you."
Jay's expression froze!
Chapter 1789
Chapter 1789
"What?
Boye said, "I had decided to leave Cloud City with my husband and we both already changed our phone numbers. Angeline called us, and maybe it's because she couldn't get through so she came to Cloud City to find us. She had quite a fright, that's why she's now suffering from recurring somatization disorder..."
"She went to your villa? What's that supposed to mean?" Jay asked in trepidation.
"Her muscles are abnormally tense, and her fingers are so stiff they're like claws. She's paralyzed. When she saw me, she merely said two words: save Jaybie."
When Jay heard what she said, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Jenson, who was dumbfounded by the fact that his mother was severely ill, snapped back to his senses when his father spat out blood.
"Daddy."
Boye did not poke fun at Jay anymore. She said earnestly, "JJ, you should take good care of yourself for Angeline's sake. Go back to bed and lie down. Cooperate with me and receive your treatment." There were blood and tears flowing in the depths of
Jay's eyes as he choked with sobs. "Where's Angeline, Grandma?"
Boye looked at the car outside but dared not tell Jay that Angeline was just an arm's length away. Just earlier, she had accidentally told Jay about Angeline's condition on impulse and caused him to spit out blood. If he saw the state that Angeline was currently in, he might grow even more anxious and perhaps die o n the spot.
Boye could only calm him down temporarily by saying, "Beceive your treatment obediently and I promise you that I'll send her back from Cloud City three days later."
Therefore, Jay went back to bed compliantly to receive Boye's treatment.
Jenson's deep gaze fell on the car outside. When he saw the different sizes of medical equipment unloaded and placed on the ground, as well as the daily necessities... From this, he could already tell that they had completely evacuated from the previous house.
Jenson suddenly recalled something and rushed outside. Then, breaking through the human barrier, he checked the cars one by one. Eventually, he found Angeline in an SUV.
"Mommy." He jumped into the car and hugged Angeline tightly.
When he felt how stiff Angeline's body was, Jenson's eyes turned pink as tears rolled down his cheeks.
He carried Angeline out of the car. As a 15-year-old child with a gigantic stature and a calm mind, he was able to do this with ease.
He carried Angeline to the bedroom next to the master bedroom, covered her with a blanket, and said a few consoling words to Angeline.
"Mommy, thank you for getting Grandma Boye. Don't worry, Daddy will be okay. He'll get better very soon because he can't stand being away from you," Jenson said. Despite being in a muddled state, Angeline could still hear Jenson's voice. When he said that Jay would be okay, she could finally set her anxious mind to rest. Then, she closed her eyes and went to sleep.
When Jenson tiptoed out of Mommy's bedroom and came to Daddy's room, he heard Boye talking to the old man.
Boye said furiously, "There's Love Potion and Happy Pill in this child's body. Those two drugs are only found in Yorks Stronghold. Chloe must have used dirty means to separate JJ and Angeline. If I see Chloe after this, I'll make sure to prick her with a needle twice."
The old man looked at Boye who occasionally had a childish temperament and laughed. "Don't go causing trouble now. Angeline suffered from depression last time because of Chloe and lost more than ten pounds, but Jay took great pains to help Angeline out of depression. This time, Chloe has triggered Angeline s somatization disorder. Considering Jay's love for Angeline, he'll probably remove all these obstacles himself without needing any of us stepping forward to do it for him."
His words served as a reminder for Boye. She asked curiously, "Say, after the incident this time, do you think Jay will..." She could not help but feel that Jay would lose a lot of things.
The old man added for her, "You're worried that Jay will sink into self-blame for failing to protect Angeline, right?" Boye nodded.
"It's normal for him to blame himself. I'm just worried that he'll do irrational things due to excessive selfblame."
The old man said, "Therefore, we need to help Angeline feel better as soon as possible."

After hearing what Boye and the old man said, Jenson left in silence.
He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the moonlight outside in silence. He was pondering the words Great-grandma just said.
Based on his understanding of Daddy, his self-blame might turn into violence and bloodshed.
Among Judy, Chloe, and Sandra, someone had to pay for Mommy's illness.
As for the people who defended these wicked women, they too might suffer from an undeserved calamity.
Daddy would never allow anyone to take advantage of his tolerance to hurt his beloved wife.
This time, Daddy would surely make the decision to beat the dog before the lion.
Jenson sighed inwardly.
Early the next morning, luxury cars flooded Carefree Garden.
The three families-the Areses, Yorks, and Severes-as well as Grand Asia's team of specialists had come to Carefree Garden to visit Jay.
When Boye heard the car horn, she walked to the side
of the window. Upon seeing the luxury cars, she frowned almost imperceptibly.
Jenson heard Boye's inaudible sigh and said, "Don't worry, Great-grandma. I won't let them in and disturb you."
Boye looked at Jenson in surprise. In her opinion, Angeline was playful and mischievous. Even the words she said carried the innocence of a child, so naturally, Boye thought Jenson, as Angelina's son, would be a young and inexperienced boy as well.
Jenson's cold and stern face, however, gave others a sense of trust for some reason.
"Mm." Boye nodded.
Jenson turned around and left.
Boye looked at Jenson's straight back. The child was engulfed in a cold and indifferent aura that kept others at arm's length. He was an exact copy of Jay.
"Like father, like son indeed." Boye sighed.
The old man said, "It's good for him to resemble Jay, seemingly unapproachable but extremely loyal."
Boye recalled how Jenson had tested the medicine for Jay, and worries clouded her eyes.
"A loyal man is like candlelight for others, burning himself while illuminating others. That's the case with Jay and Angeline. I'm just afraid that their children will do the same thing and maybe end up worse," Boye said.
Jenson came downstairs.
Jordan helped Grand Old Master Ares out of the car as he hobbled over.
Grand Old Master Ares had been paying great attention to taking care of his body after the calamity that befell Tourmaline Estate. He was so healthy that he could already get rid of the wheelchair. Unfortunately, Jay's tragic incident had sent the old man's health back to square one.
He had turned wary and dispirited.
The tragic incident also helped Jordan realize how difficult it had been for his father to raise his son for him. He felt less hatred and more respect for him.
Jenson's face and voice were cold as he said, "You should all go back. Daddy refuses to see anyone."
Grand Old Master Ares said, "Jens, your father is severely ill and must receive treatment immediately."
Jenson glanced at Grand Asia's doctors. He had clarified Daddy's condition with them a long time ago. He said, "They can't heal Daddy completely. All they can do is extend my daddy's life. If someone as proud a s Daddy has to live lingering on in the last days of his life, then one day itself will be too much for him to bear, let alone a year.
