Ch. 961..970

Chapter 961

Jay was hesitant, but Tommy begged him. "Ben, you've gotta agree to President Severe's requests. The entire village will be grateful to you." Jay was distraught. "I have a job already."

Tommy replied in dismay, "Ah, so you have a job, so you won't help us anymore."

Angeline knew that Jay was a man of his word. Since he promised that he would be Baby Zetty's piano tutor, he would not accept any other jobs.

To resolve his concerns, Angeline then replied, "You don't have to be on-site to work. All you have to do is to look after the fishermen closely and make sure that they follow the rules around here." Jay then agreed. "Alright then."

Grayson gave the police a call, and after some banter, he turned toward Angeline to say, "They need a guarantor."

Jay said, "Me."

Angeline was musing over the fact that those fishermen were still brutes and barbarians. Should there be any trouble, the guarantor would regret being the guarantor in the first place.

She rolled her eyes at Jay. "You? Everything on you is worth even less than one of my fingernails. How are

you going to be the guarantor?"

Jay replied, "You're so vulgar!"

Angeline,

This b*stard was really biting the hand that fed him!

Grayson understood the situation, so he replied on the phone, "The president will be the guarantor. Let them g o immediately."

After Tommy and Jay left the design department in the building, Tommy had nothing but praise for Angeline. "Ben, I think that the president isn't as scary as the rumors say. She's cold on the outside, but nice o n the inside. She looks nasty, but when she heard of our hardship and how hard it was for us to look for money, she became so kind... I think that she's better than those women back in our village who look nice and kind but will actually talk behind your back."

Jay sank into deep thought...

He thought of how that hag had made porridge for him, sent him to the doctor when he was sick, and now helping out the fishermen. All of her actions were heartwarming, but when he arrived at the thought that she wanted to keep him as her consort, Jay simply could not agree with what Tommy said.

"The she-devil has ulterior motives in doing all of these."

Tommy replied naively, "Anyway, she's offering refuge to helpless fishermen like us. So she's a living saint to

H

me.

Jay shook his head. "Let's see if the others return.

Until then, you can save your praises for later."

He just could not believe that the she-devil would help those innocent fishermen without some apparent reason.

In the evening, the fishermen came back.

They were squabbling and complaining about how they had lost their jobs.

Tommy told them, "We can all stay, but the president has given the order that we all have to listen to Ben."

The fishermen remained silent, their eyes green with envy toward Jay.

Back in the village, that man had to rely on his wife for a living. He was even scoffed at by his in-laws. As such, the men in the entire village looked down on him.

Now, he was suddenly in a position to look after and supervise them.

A few of the fishermen were dissatisfied. They protested, saying, "You want us to listen to this little adonis? Are you out of your mind? I think that he's a mute. How could he possibly lead us?" The others echoed in agreement. "Yeah."

Jay responded coldly, "The order isn't for you to listen to me. It's for all of you to obey and follow the rules of

the company."

The fishermen looked at each other. "We're not listening to you either way."

Angeline was watching from a distance and saw the entire scene unfold. The expression on her face was indescribable.

She thought of how her Jaybie was once the almighty crown prince of Imperial Capital. Now, he could not even settle a bunch of fishermen. Oh, how the mighty had fallen. Angeline walked over to the fishermen with her arms crossed. She said in a condescending tone, "Those who are willing to listen to him, stay. Those who are not, leave now." As she said that, the fishermen changed their stances immediately and curried Jay's favor. "Ben, since the president has spoken, then I shall listen to you."

Angeline helped Jay to diffuse the situation in the hopes that he would be grateful. Who knew that Jay glowered at her with resentment in his eyes, hinting a t her being nosy. Angeline said casually to Grayson, "Get insurance for all of the fishermen. Social security and all."

Chapter 962

Chapter 962

The fishermen jumped with joy.

"I heard that once you have social security, you're considered as a citizen of the city. You can buy a house here too."

All that jumping made the staff quarters shake immensely.

Angeline was feeling dizzy, and her anger came with it. "Grayson, is this building another sh*t construction? Why is it shaking so much when they jump?"

Grayson was helpless.

Jay suddenly grabbed Tommy and ran outside while shouting, "Earthquake! Run!"

Angeline gawked at him.

Jay would grab a random villager and escape but would not even stop to consider bringing her along. That disappointment... was simply too much for Angeline to handle. Grayson grabbed the dumbfounded Angeline in his arms and quickly took her outside.

Soon after, the makeshift quarters crumbled down into smithereens.

The earthquake was quick to subside. Thankfully, it did not cause any fatalities nor any other buildings to

collapse.

Angeline looked at the debris, her eyes emanating fiery fury. Her gaze was directed at Jay as if she was about to take his life.

Jay shuddered. Why was that she-devil looking at him like that?

It was as if he owed her something from his past life.

"Hmph." Angeline angrily harrumphed and left with a n ashen face.

Grayson was anxious for Jay, so he reminded him as they passed each other. "You'd better watch out."

Jay wanted to reply, 'What's wrong with that woman?'

Was she angry just because he did not save her?

Hehe, why would he though?

It was not like they knew each other.

Angeline had already walked quite a distance away, yet she suddenly raced back to him while enraged." You're not a gentleman. Do you know the meaning of' ladies first'?" Jay replied coldly, "I only save those who are worth saving to me."

Angeline was about to have a heart attack from being s o enraged. She huffed and puffed. "Grayson, the nitroglycerin."

Grayson walked over and said softly, "Mrs. President, the doctor said not to take any medicine if you're not ill."

Angeline replied, "My chest hurts."

Grayson sighed and looked helplessly at Jay. "Mrs. President, rushing things won't help."

Jay's handsome face had a dark expression on it.

The person that they were talking about was actually him?

"Devious devils," Jay said casually.

Grayson felt stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Angeline stomped off in her fury.

Angeline could only go to one place whenever she was mad-Josephine's rented house.

Josephine was surprised when she saw Angeline. "Yo, you look awful. My brother made you mad again?"

Angeline muttered, "You knew that he came back?"

"Zayne told me."

Angeline took the wine off the table and necked the bottle.

She then griped about while slamming her hand against the table. "Your brother is a wretch. When I treated him badly, he would comfort and console me 'til no end. And when I treat him well, he's being cocky like nobody's business. He'll ignore me whenever he likes."

Chapter 963

Chapter 963

Josephine was befuddled. "I thought that you guys would be happy after reuniting with each other. Who knew that there would be so much trouble? My brother actually doesn't have feelings for you." Angeline was despondent. "I know that I'm not gentle, not pretty, and not womanly enough. But I treat him so well. Can't that make up for those things that I lack?"

Josephine looked at her in disbelief.

She then said angrily, "It must be that jerk Zayne. He would call you a tigress every day right? Did he brainwash you? Sis Angeline, you're the most beautiful, most gentle, and the most attractive woman to me. Angeline just could not believe her.

Josephine was agitated. "Ever since you became the president of Grand Asia, you started using that honey oil to mask your natural beauty. It's all to prevent those men from staring at you too much. If you're not ruthless enough, those men would be dancing on top of your head. All you've done and sacrificed for was to protect my brother's foundation. However, deep down, I know that you're my sweet, pretty, and loyal Sis Angeline.

At that moment, Angeline's tears flowed freely. "Over time, I think I'll forget what I used to look like."

Josephine thought hard and long. "My brother has never been able to resist you. I don't believe that he won't crumble if you keep going at him."

Angeline looked at Josephine pitifully. "And how do I do that?"

"What did you do to him when you were young? Just do what you did before."

Angeline suddenly had a bright idea, her tears immediately turning into smiles. "I've got it."

Angeline slammed the wine bottle down on the table. She had an aura of confidence and determination as she walked out the door.

Josephine hollered at her, "Sis Angeline, where are you going at this time of night?"

Angeline replied, "I'm going after my man."

Nighttime.

The fishermen were so excited because they now had jobs and social security.

They dragged Jay to a lavish restaurant at a food street nearby to celebrate.

Where the boorish and gruff men gathered, there needed to be booze as well. Even Jay drank a little wine under the persuasion of the fishermen. Soon enough, he noticed something wrong with his allergic body. The itching was unbearable, and patches of rash had quickly covered his body.

"Ben, what's wrong with you?" Tommy narrowed his eyes, exclaiming when he saw Ben's rashes on his forearm.

The fishermen had always been men of steel. They probably had not heard of things like alcohol allergy. However, some of them thought that they were knowledgeable enough, so they started to guess what was going on, causing a commotion.

"Ben, don't tell us that you have some sort of infectious disease. I heard that some people who fool around in their daily lives will get scary infectious diseases."

"Ben, we forgot to tell you that Pierre Hanes has many women by his side. When you were with him..."

"The way I see it, the president has taken a liking to you. Bich people often lead promiscuous lives."

As the fishermen continued babbling on, they had already labeled Jay as a vector of the disease.

When everyone else heard that it was a deadly infectious disease, they distanced themselves right away-even the kind-hearted Tommy stood away from Jay.

Jay's face was ashen. "I'm not promiscuous."

He then stood up, paid for the bill, and left the place by himself.

The street lights were dim.

Jay dragged his feeble body along while the street lights projected a long shadow behind him.

A pair of white high-heels soon came running after him.

Jay was feeling worse by the moment. Sometimes, his allergy would be mild. Sometimes, it would be severe. It was probably due to him feeling a little weak lately, and it might be because of the high alcohol content in the white wine that he drank. As such, his allergy was affecting more than just his skin.

Soon enough, he felt himself gasping for air. His breathing started to quicken.

He sat on the pavement, sluggish and wobbly. He grasped at his throat which was tightening with every passing second. At that moment, he thought that he would die like this-alone.

Chapter 964

Chapter 964

Angeline noticed that something was wrong, so she quickly rushed forward.

"Brother Ben."

Jay looked at Angeline who had emerged out of nowhere. He was so weak that he could not even speak or cry for help. Angeline looked at the rashes on his face and said," Your body is allergic to alcohol and it's acting up."

Jay was surprised. How could the she-devil tell for sure what kind of condition he had?

She was not like the fishermen who doubted and questioned his personal life. He was surprisingly grateful for that.

She carried him on her back and hurried to the parking lot.

After they arrived at Grand Asia, Jay was immediately sent into the emergency room.

Angeline sat outside of the room, anxious throughout the night.

The next day, Jay's condition stabilized and he was admitted into a normal ward.

Angeline organized his information sheets and charts, sitting in front of him. She read the words out loud,"

The doctor ran some checks on you, and results show that you have erosive gastritis, so you should always have some medicine on you. However, among all gastric medications, you're allergic to Motilium, so you can't use that. Also, you have a terrible allergy to alcohol, so you can't touch that either."

After she finished, Angeline looked at Jay with a dignified look on her face. "You almost kicked the bucket yesterday."

On the other hand, Jay was calm. Life or death did not matter much to him anymore, so he did not feel traumatized after what happened last night.

Compared to his calmness, Angeline seemed to be overreacting. "Have you thought about how sad your loved ones would be if you died?"

His loved ones?

Jay spent some time musing over that thought. Did he have any?

Angeline said, "In this world, there are people who live for you. If you don't love yourself, you're only letting them down."

Jay looked at Angeline with animosity. "I'm hungry."

He just could not believe the fact that anyone would live for him. Throughout his life, all his memories contained nothing more than condescending looks and scoff. The she-devil just had to bring that up.

Angeline,

She turned around and left. Soon after, she brought him hot porridge.

Angeline propped Jay up and elevated the bed.

Jay looked at her and said, "President, aren't you busy?"

Angeline,

Was he complaining?

Angeline forced out a sweet smile at him. "No."

What could be more important than currying her husband's favor?

However, Zayne had to call her up right at that very moment, urgently too.

Angeline stared at the incoming call on her screen. She hung up immediately.

Zayne persisted and kept calling.

Jay said coldly, "Answer it."

Angeline had no choice but to pick up the call. Zayne's voice roared from the other end of the line. "President Severe, it's time for the meeting. Where are you?"

Chapter 965

Chapter 965

Angeline quickly muffled the phone's mic and looked a t Jay guiltily.

There was a trace of mockery in Jay's eyes.

Angeline knew that her lie had been exposed, so she did not hide it further.

"I'll be there right away," she spoke into the phone.

Jay elegantly waved at her, and all that he had to say to her was, "You can get out of here now."

Angeline looked at him angrily. "Hey, I saved you last night. Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Jay looked up, and those dark, charming eyes appeared wider than the midnight sky. No one could figure out his emotions.

"If you'd stay away from me, I'd be more thankful, actually," he muttered.

Angeline was enraged. "You b*stard, don't you have a conscience? If I hadn't saved you, your corpse would probably be lying out in the sun already for everyone to see."

Jay retorted, "It's better than letting people think that I'm being kept by you."

Angeline was speechless.

In reality, she caused him so much disturbance by

getting near him.

He was a proud man who prioritized his reputation much more than anything else. How could he allow himself to be kept by a rich woman?

Jay noticed that Angeline had gone silent. He thought that she was thinking about her actions and reflecting on her conscience.

Instead, Angeline walked up to him and said with certainty, "Brother Ben, I'll make you love me someday -more than your reputation and your life."

Jay was stunned by her confidence and tenacity.

After Angeline said that, she turned around and left.

When the nurse came into the room to give Jay his medicine, she saw him lying on the bed with his handsome face ashen. The porridge was seemingly untouched.

His appetite was spoiled in the midst of his anger, and it was all because of Angeline.

The nurse still teased him, saying, "You must be really happy and lucky to have the president take a liking to you."

Jay even thought of dying at that moment.

"How is she a good person?"

When the nurse mentioned President Severe, her eyes sparkled like stars. "The president looks good, has a great figure, can stand for herself out there, and can cook back at home. Her business is booming everywhere, so she's contributing to the country's economy. She's an asset to the family and country. She likes you with all her heart can give, so you're lucky."

Jay's brows furrowed even more. He glared at the nurse. "But she's just not my type."

The nurse had a smile that hinted at something else." You have all the resources to create your opportunities, so you do just that, but don't you regret it later on." Then, the nurse took the remote control, turned on the TV, and deliberately changed the channel to Grand Asia's channel.

"If you feel bored, you can watch TV."

The TV was airing Grand Asia's meeting live.

Jay looked at the screen with a bored look on his face.

The conference room was larger than a movie theatre and there were close to 1,000 people there. Every one of them wore a suit and tie, each of them dark in color. Jay could not find the silhouette of a woman anywhere.

The president was yet to be present, so the men in the conference room bickered among themselves. The scene looked slightly out of control.

Chapter 966

Chapter 966

Jay thought to himself, 'That she-devil is going to have a hard time suppressing a huge commotion at a setting like this.'

The nurse stood at the side, calm and collected. "Our president is good at handling these kinds of stuff. These men are just being cocky behind her back. Just you wait, when the president goes on stage, they'l all be as silent as the grave."

Jay shot a disbelieving glance at the nurse.

The she-devil was nothing more than a hormone-overproducing tomboy. A person like her could only curry the favor of meek girls.

Which man in his right mind would ever like a shameless tomboy like her?

The screen near the podium slowly unraveled, and on it was the agenda for the meeting. The topic-' Discussing the state of Grand Asia: Recruiting geniuses from around the world!'

When Jay looked at the words on the screen, the calligraphy was strong, sharp, and confident. He could not help but cry out, "That's good writing right there."

The nurse giggled. "Our dear president wrote that herself."

Jay was astonished.

He felt that the calligraphy reflected the artist.

One could judge a person through their handwriting.

This kind of handwriting should have come from a tenacious, charismatic man.

Instead, it belonged to an immoral she-devil.

The people at the conference became restless, probably because they had been waiting for too long." Where did the president go? Why is she taking so long? Do we still proceed with the meeting?" There was a mocking laugh in Jay's eyes.

If only these people knew that the president forgot all about the meeting because of a nameless and unknown man, then their disappointment would shoot through the roof.

He was happy. He wanted to see how the she-devil would resolve this hot mess before her.

Soon enough, the sound of high heels connecting with floorboards was audible from outside the conference room. The sound was crisp, its rhythm slow and steady.

Jay was surprised. He thought that she would be rushing over to the meeting. Instead, her composure was unwavering. She was calm and cool even when she was late.

The bustling conference room soon died down into silence. Even a pin dropping could be heard in the

quiet of the room.

Jay looked at the faces of the men who had looked grandiose and charismatic the moment before. Now, they looked like they had been beaten into submission. There were condescending looks in their eyes. Angeline strutted into the room just like that. She even found the perfect excuse for being late.

"What? Are you all dumb or mute now? I've been watching all of you the whole time. Weren't you all hollering and shouting freely just now?"

Jay,

This woman sure was calm even when she was lying. She was so shameless that she would not even flinch in the face of a bullet.

The men in the room were scared sh*tless. They hung their heads and kept their silence.

Angeline said to them, "I know for a fact that ever since I bought over your company under Grand Asia, turning your bosses into my ordinary staff, all of you smile only when you face me but want a piece of me behind my back. Am I right?"

Angeline did not wait for them to respond and waved her hand at them. "You don't have to answer me. I don't want to hear those false words come out of your mouths. I'm telling you, I don't care what all of you think, but you'd better remember this rule. Those who listen to me will live, and those who don't will die."

Jay's face twitched.

If the she-devil were to live in ancient times, then she would be the greatest ruler of them all.

Angeline continued, "I invited all of you here today just to tell you one thing. The future of Grand Asia depends on technology and geniuses. Those of you who are not pulling your weight, if you don't start showing something good and come up with results, don't blame me for replacing you with someone else."

Angeline then started pointing fingers at certain people. "The Titus family of Grand Asia, your revenues are decreasing each year by 30 percent. If this goes on, you can pack your bags and leave next year."

Chapter 967

Chapter 967

"The Bell family of Grand Asia, your revenues were down by 13.74 percent compared to last year. If this goes on, you can all go to hell." Angeline's words stabbed at those who did not meet the company's target.

Everyone present had their handkerchiefs out, wiping the beads of sweat on their foreheads.

Angeline stood on the podium, clad in a bright red suit. Her white, lace shirt was tucked into her slacks. Her suit rested lazily on her shoulders. Her arms were akimbo while her hair flowed freely in the air. Her tanned skin, dark eye shadow, and purple lipstick accented her dominance in the room.

Jay's face contorted when he saw the woman on screen.

To him, women were supposed to be weak and submissive. Their beauty was meant to be subtle and kept within them-just like Marilyn.

Angeline was a freak of nature, emanating an aura like that.

As Jay sank into deep thought, his phone rang. It was a text.

He looked at the screen, seeing that Marilyn had sent him a message. It was three words-'Come back fast.'

Jay gave her a call right away. When Marilyn picked up the phone, she was sobbing. "Tempest... Tempest can't hold on any longer."

Jay's voice was deep and sullen. "What happened?"

Marilyn kept sobbing. "I don't know. Ever since you left, he won't even drink a drop of water. It has been a week. The doctor said that he can't go on for much longer."

The expression on Jay's face changed immediately. His hand was trembling while it held his phone.

The nurse asked warmly, "What's wrong? Is someone in your family sick?"

Jay nodded. "He's been unconscious for a few years." Worry and anxiety streaked across his face.

The nurse was calm, however. "Grand Asia Medical Center is the most advanced in the entire world. If you send him over to Grand Asia Hospital, maybe there'll be a miracle."

Jay realized that he was currently in the renowned Grand Asia Hospital. However, he felt embarrassed about having stayed in that place and his face showed it.

He asked the nurse, "If a comatose patient is to receive treatment, how much would that cost?"

The nurse chuckled. "Grand Asia is expensive. In that case, they would have to stay here long-term. They would also need the specialists' consultation to treat him. That would cost a least a few million for him to be admitted in here. However, since our president is kind-hearted, she might just give you special treatment if you plead to her."

Jay's gaze shifted once more to Angeline on screen. His eyes looked at her fierce irises. He thought that she was cold-blooded by nature.

If it were not for the fact that she had intentions toward him, how could she possibly be kind to him?

After the meeting, Angeline arrived back at Grand Asia Medical Center.

The nurse quickly slipped away.

Angeline stood beside Jay's bed and looked down at him. She interrogated him, "Why didn't you eat?"

Jay had a dissatisfied look on his face as if he was saying 'the hell does that have to do with you?'.

Angeline took the bowl of porridge and walked over to the microwave. She warmed the porridge and returned back to the bed.

She scooped up a spoonful of porridge and put it near his mouth.

Jay's mouth was tight shut, his teeth clenched together. His eyes were looking at Angeline with animosity.

"You're not eating? Do you want me to personally feed you?"

She opened her mouth, ate a mouthful of porridge, and pinched Jay's mouth open. Then, she... pressed herself against him. 1

Jay finally realized what she meant by 'personally feeding him'. He was horrified, and his face was pale. He cried out in horror, "What are you doing?"

Angeline raised her neck and gulped down the porridge into her belly. She then gave him a threatening smile.

Jay grabbed the bowl and quickly gobbled down its contents.

Angeline caressed his soft, messy hair while smiling ever so sweetly at him. "Now that's a good boy."

That gentle voice was as if it was coated with honey, completely opposite to that menacing growl in the conference room.

Chapter 968

Chapter 968

After Jay finished his meal, Angeline threw away the cutlery and bowl into the trash can. She then sat in front of him. Her eyes were somewhat dreamy as if she was staring at her own pet.

"Your digestive system isn't that healthy, so you have to remember to eat on time. Don't simply eat as you like," she chided.

Jay glared at her with an ungrateful look.

It was probably him worried about Tempest, so even his furrowed brows told the whole story.

Angeline suddenly reached out and touched his brows. She said tenderly, "You have something on your mind?"

Jay's wretched mouth replied, "If you stay away from me, I'll have nothing on my mind."

Angeline,"..."

"If there's anything bad about me, I'll try my best to improve," she said while gritting her teeth and forcing out a smile.

Jay was disgusted by her pretentious, sweet look.

"Then you can go back to your mother's womb to be remade again," he said wickedly.

Angeline was furious. She raised her arm...

"You're asking for it, aren't you?" She ground her teeth in rage.

Jay looked at her hand, thinking that there was no escape from the slap that he was about to receive. He never thought that Angeline had no intention to do it. In the end, her arm fell back to her side as she suppressed her fury.

She muttered in displeasure, "You're just taking advantage of me being nice to you, so that's why you're being so rude."

Angeline walked toward the door.

Jay suddenly called out to her, "Ms. Severe..."

Angeline was livid, and her face was contorted, but when she heard his gentle voice, a smile reappeared on her face.

"Yes?" She turned around, smiling.

Jay had a constipated look on his face. His mouth moved as his lips twitched, but no words came out of him.

Angeline walked back to him. "You have something to ask of me?" Her voice was soft, yet it had a hint of worry. She sounded nothing like an aristocrat or a noblewoman.

Jay did not know why, but the word 'beg' had never existed in his dictionary. Yet, he asked cautiously," Can you help me?"

After he said that, he regretted his actions and regretted it badly.

Surely the she-devil would not miss this opportunity to humiliate him.

Angeline looked concerned. She asked him earnestly, "Tell me."

Jay looked at her in astonishment, her worried eyes making him forget about everything.

"I have a brother back at home, but now he's paralyzed due to a car accident. My wife called me today and said that his condition is worsening, so I'm thinking of getting him into Grand Asia Hospital..." The look on Angeline's face became worse. How dare h e call some other woman his wife? She was jealous and envious even. She felt bitter inside.

Jay stopped speaking when he saw that look on her face.

"I'm sorry." He felt that he was only going to give her trouble with that request.

Angeline snapped out of it. She realized that this was not the time to be jealous.

"Give me the address and I'll make arrangements for a n ambulance immediately," said Angeline.

Jay gawked at her.

She would help him just like that?

No shaming and no terms of conditions?

Chapter 969

Chapter 969

Jay said, "I have no money right now. But I'll think of a way to pay back the medical bills."

Angeline almost laughed at him.

How could this guy have no money when all of Grand Asia was his?

"If you have no money, perhaps you can pay with your body." She laughed maniacally.

It was hard for Jay to even start taking a liking to her, and now all of that melted away in an instant.

He glowered at her with much resentment...

Angeline quickly suppressed herself.

She figured that she had better leave an out for herself. What if Jay regained his memory someday? Surely, he would have his revenge, judging by his personality.

In the evening, the siren of an ambulance blared through the air. The siren kept wailing while parked a t the entrance of Grand Asia Hospital.

Jay sat up from his bed, anxious and worried.

Marilyn had told him that Tempest was in a very bad condition.

Tempest was very important to him.

Someone who was willing to sacrifice themselves for him was considered family to Jay.

Angeline walked over to Jay, putting a hand on his shoulder while consoling him and saying, "Don't worry. As long as I'm here, I won't let anything happen to him." Jay could only blankly stare at her. When she said that, it felt like it was a promise to him.

For some reason, his emotions calmed down somewhat.

Soon enough, Tempest was rushed upstairs.

Angeline and Jay walked over to Tempest. At that moment, Tempest had his eyes closed. His forehead had a dark hue to it while his skin was dry and wrinkled. The man showed no signs of life.

When Jay saw Tempest, his heart was crushed like no other.

"Tempest," he said bitterly.

Angeline looked at Jay. She could completely understand how he felt.

As for Tempest, Angeline could not be more grateful.

She had waited for so long, and it was because of Tempest who saved her Jaybie that she could see him again.

No matter the cost, she had to save his life.

Angeline immediately gave the order, "Relay the order for all doctors and nurses from every single department to be on call and send for the best specialists to analyze the patient right now." Soon after, Tempest was sent into the ICU.

Angeline called the specialists for an emergency meeting.

Jay could do nothing but sit in his room and wait anxiously.

In the next room, he could hear a family crying and sobbing while bringing the patient away because they could not afford the medical bills anymore.

In the hallway, many parents of patients with critical illnesses were begging and pleading with the hospital administrators, saying that they would pay anything to let their loved ones be admitted into the hospital!

At night, it was time for Jay to have his medication. The nurse pushed the door open and saw a worried look on Jay's face. She reassured him, saying, "Mr.

Ben, even our dear president went and organized a meeting to save Mr. Tempest. What are you still worried about?"

Jay replied, "As for Tempest's condition, that's going to cost a lot of money right?"

The nurse replied honestly, "Of course. He has to use the best medications to keep him alive every day.

Even one vial of medication could cost up to a million. In a day, I'm afraid the cost can go up to even ten million."

"I want to donate my organs to help in his treatment."

Chapter 970

Chapter 970

The nurse gawked at him. "Ah!... As for that, it'll be best if you discuss it with the president!"

Jay said with a justified tone, "This is my decision. She has nothing to do with it. You just bring me the agreement and I'll sign it."

The nurse dared not go against Jay's pressing request. "Alright."

When the nurse gave Jay the agreement, Jay signed it without hesitation.

As Angeline walked out of the meeting room, the nurse gave her the agreement.

Angeline took a look at the agreement and on it were the words, 'Jay Ares'. The handwriting was smooth and nonchalant.

She became maddened with rage.

She stomped off to Jay's room and threw the agreement in his face. She questioned him, "What are you doing?"

Jay calmly took the papers off his face. He then looked at Angeline and said, "I don't want you guys to stop treating Tempest halfway somewhere just because I can't pay for the medical bills. Because of that, why don't I give him some hope of staying alive?"

Angeline replied, "Save your kindness. Now that I'm

saving Tempest, I won't take a penny from you. In fact, I guarantee that I'll succeed in bringing Tempest back."

Jay was surprised. "Why?"

He could not figure out why, but he felt that it was not as simple as keeping him as her consort for her to go to such lengths to save Tempest.

Angeline laughed teasingly. "Because I like you. In fact, I saved your life once. So I decided to like everything about and around you, alright?"

Jay's expression immediately went cold.

Angeline snatched the agreement from him, tore it to shreds, and threw them into the trash can.

She looked back at his sour face. She then explained to him. "I'm saving Tempest for free because he's in a vegetative state, so he's good for research. You have nothing to do with this. You don't have to feel indebted to me."

Jay,"..."

She controlled his emotions like a puppet on a string -sometimes moody, and sometimes joyful.

Three days later, Jay was discharged from the hospital.

Tempest's life was still in danger.

Before he got out of there, Jay donned a protective suit and visited Tempest in the ICU. He watched as the doctors tried to their utmost ability to save his life. He felt touched and warm on the inside.

The she-devil kept her word. He did not spend a penny, yet Grand Asia had already begun their treatment plan for Tempest.

After he returned to the staff quarters, the fishermen saw him walk in. They quickly cowered away in horror as if they had seen a ghost.

Only Tommy, who stood at a distance, greeted him.

"Ben, you're alright now?"

Jay's expression darkened. He simply nodded his head. "Mm."

Tommy threw Jay's room key toward him and said," Ben, the higher-ups gave you a special room. The fishermen said that the president is good to you because you've gotten on good terms with her. They also said that your infectious disease is incurable, so they want me to stay away from you. If not, they won't hang out with me anymore."

Jay picked up the keys and ignored Tommy. After turning away, he walked to his room.

When he opened the door, he was shocked at the sight before him. Not only was the room broad and wide, but it was also squeaky clean. He was suddenly happy again.

He sat on the bed, scrolling through his phone while feeling bored.

He realized that he had a few missed calls from an unknown caller. In fact, they had called nine times. Jay simply could not ignore that.

He called back, and they picked up the phone right away.

"Mister, how could I ever get you to call me hack?" Baby Zetty's crisp voice rang on the other end of the line. She sounded a little resentful and upset.

Jay's eyes smiled softly. "I'm sorry, Baby Zetty. I had a few things bothering me these few days, so I couldn't come over."

Baby Zetty's voice had a hint of sobbing in it as she said, "Mister, I miss you. Where are you?"
