In such a large hospital, people would have to queue up for their medical appointments during the day.
However, during the night was a whole different story, as there were not much of a crowd at the
hospital. They parked their car, entered through the ward building and got into an elevator
Armand stood far away from the couple.
Boyce asked him, “Are we infected with some sort of contagious disease? Why are you social
distancing away from us?”
Armand chuckled, “Not exactly, y’all being together poisons me.”
Back at the supermarket, Jasmine basically glued herself to Boyce’s arm. Up until now, even in the
elevator, she still had not separated from him.
Their lovey-dovey activities shined brighter than Betelgeuse in the night sky.
Onlookers not only felt pain in their teeth and suffered from reddened eyes, all they could do was look
as the couple continue to shine like a star with their intimacy.
Jasmine smiled.
Armand shot her a glance, “Why are you laughing?”
Jasmine replied, “Am I committing a felony by laughing?”
Armand was taken aback by her response.
A witty one, this Jasmine.
The elevator stopped with a ‘ding’, and as soon as the doors opened, Armand stood out of the elevator.
Boyce sighed, “How childish.”
Armand looked back, glared at him and contemplated spitting out vulgar words, but chose not to for
Jasmine’s sake.
Without batting him an eye, the both of them definitely had a lot of fun being lovey-dovey with each
other.
All to piss him off.
In the ward, Dolores stared into Matthew’s eyes and asked, “Just this time, please?”
Matthew stood his ground, “No can do, those are not healthy for you.”
Dolores threw a tantrum, kicked him and said, “Go away, leave me alone!”
Matthew grabbed her ankle and said in a low voice, “Be a good girl, and listen to me, okay? I’ll get you
something else to eat, what do you want?”
“I don’t want anything else, I only want Spicy Hot Pot.” She was aware that Spicy Hot Pot was not
healthy, but her picky mouth wanted it and only it.
Dolores could easily be headstrong, and when she did Matthew could not do anything about it.
“I’ll ask Carol to make some Spicy Hot Pot for you, okay?” Matthew asked as he tapped on her sole.
Dolores shook her head, “It doesn’t taste the same if Carol makes it.”
And with that, Matthew was out of ideas.
Someone was knocking on the room door. Matthew covered up her legs with the blanket. She was
wearing a rolled up dress that was so rolled up, her thigh was on show for the world to see.
“I’ll get the door.” Matthew said as he stood up.
Dolores recomposed her expressions and quieted down.
No matter how headstrong she could be, she still knew how to control herself.
Moreover, someone else was visiting them and her headstrong side only shows in front of Matthew.
“We’re here to visit Dolores.”
Matthew opened the door and saw Armand.
He stepped back from the door and allowed them to enter.
“Do you know what has Boyce been doing behind our backs?” Armand said upon stepping into the
room.
Boyce shot him a glare, “Didn’t I say that I don’t have a chance to tell you guys about it?”
Armand was actively pissing off Boyce, as he was annoyed and jealous of him, “What do you mean ‘I
don’t have a chance’? Do I not have a phone? Or did Matthew got into a rocket and went into space?
So you can’t communicate with the both of us?”
Matthew slowly and menacingly glared at Armand, which prompted him to immediately back down from
his stance, “I-I was the one who went into space.”
Jasmine got a chuckle out of his panic, as she found him being angry one second and immediately
backing down on the next hilarious. With something in her hands, she asked, “May I come in?”
Matthew saw the things in her hands and nodded.
Jasmine walked into the room, tip-toeing all the way. Seeing her, Dolores asked with a smile, “I’m glad
that you’re here.”
She heard everything that they said.
Jasmine replied in a soft voice, “Mhmm, I hope I’m not disturbing you.”
Dolores shook her head, “Not at all, I’m glad that you guys came. I’m bored out of my mind here.”
Jasmine smiled, placed some food on the table and said, “I bought this on the way here, though I don’t
really know what you really loved to eat, so I bought some random things for you.”
Dolores replied, “Now that you’ve said that, I do get hungry very easily lately.”
“I’ve heard that your baby is growing right now, so they need more nutrients during this period.”
Dolores smiled, “You’re a knowledgeable girl, you know that?”
Jasmine smiled and gave her some treats.
Dolores duly accepted her treats.
Jasmine opened the box of treats, took out a piece of exquisite-looking desert and handed it over to
Dolores. She then got a glass to water and set that down on the table.
The desert was packaged. It came with its own little plate and spoon. She took a scoop of the desert
and ate it. It was not very sweet, it was fluffy with a thick lemon flavour.
Jasmine sat on a chair next to the bed, waited for a while before saying, “Me and Boyce are engaged.”
Dolores stopped eating for a second, startled, slowly turned and looked at her in shock.
Jasmine smiled, “Did I surprise you?”
Dolores shook her head and replied, “No, not really.”
It was, since she did not expect Boyce to act so quickly.
“He was scared that I’d be affected by bad influences, so he wanted to finish the engagement as soon
as possible. Though I’m glad that he did, or else I’d be troubling him again.”
“Did something happen?” Dolores asked.
She was stuck in the hospital for days, so she was effectively cut off from what was happening in the
outside world.
Thus, Jasmine briefly told her about the incident where someone reported Boyce.
Dolores was confused, why would people report Boyce?
“Don’t worry about it, it’s already over.” Jasmine was regretting her decision to tell Dolores as she
ended up worrying her over nothing.
She should not have told Dolores about this.
“Dolores.”
Armand, who stood near the door, said, “You already know that Boyce and Jasmine are engaged,
right?”
Dolores nodded.
“I’m thinking that the both of them should treat us to a feast.” Armand proposed.
Dolores replied, “Why though, it’s not like I can eat anything in my current state, so don’t count me in.”
Since the doctor said she should not leave the hospital in her current state, even if she wanted to bleed
Boyce’s wallet dry by having a lavish feast, she could not outright defy the doctor’s advice.
“I have a very easy solution for this,” Armand added, “We’ll get people to send the food here, so that
you can join us in our feast as well.”
