No. It's more like the kindness than the help. Jasmine has been used to such a stressful life. Her family
is poor, but Cyrus and Bridget have never gotten slack at Jasmine's education.
As long as Cyrus and Bridget have money, they have never gotten slack at Jasmine's education.
Jasmine also has the tutoring class when her classmates have the class, so she has never asked for a
penny from her parents after she goes to the university in J City.
She doesn't live in the dormitory and rents a shabby apartment for earning money. She does two part-
time jobs after class and doesn't feel tired.
However, this is a drop in the ocean. Compared to the operation fee, the little money she has saved is
not even worth being mentioned.
If Pehry didn't help her this time, she would still not know how to overcome this difficulty.
His help touches her more than anything else. To be honest, she doesn't expect that Pehry will help
her. After all, such a man seems to be completely different from ordinary people like her.
The more unexpected it is, the more touched she feels when it happens.
However, it seems that she doesn't have anything to repay him.
Anyway, since Pehry chooses to help her, she can't take it for granted, nor can she pretend that nothing
has happened.
Thinking of this, Jasmine feels stressed. She needs to deal with a lot of things, so she doesn't have
time to take a rest.
She turns around and walks towards Cyrus’ ward. She knows that Pehry is waiting for her at the door.
As expected, Pehry stands up from the bench and walks towards her when she is five to six meters
away from the door of the ward.
She looks worried. He frowns slightly and asks, "How is it? What does the doctor say?"
"Nothing." Jasmine looks down to avoid his gaze. "My father will be fine after a period of recuperation."
Then she changes the topic, "I...."
Noticing that she is hesitant, Pehry thinks that she is hiding something from him. He says angrily,
"What's wrong?"
Jasmine raises her head and looks around. She stretches out her hand and tugs at his sleeve lightly.
"Let's talk somewhere else."
Pehry is a little surprised. He doesn't know why she needs to change to another place to talk about it.
What is it about?
He respects her. "OK. Let's go to the pantry."
He turns around and instructs the assistant behind him not to allow anyone else to follow them.
Jasmine follows behind Pehry. Looking at the tall figure, she doesn't know if it is because her mood has
changed or some other reason. She suddenly realizes that he is especially considerate.
Previously, she has always focused on his tone and his domineering behavior, but he is considerate
under his unbridled appearance.
They walk into the pantry one by one. The room is very small and is in the middle of the corridor for the
convenience of the patients on both sides. The small pool beside the water heater is filled with water.
Pehry seems to somewhat dislike the pantry. He puts his hands in his pants pockets lazily. "What's the
matter? Go ahead."
Jasmine says embarrassedly, "The doctor says that you have paid for the fee of my father's operation
and hospitalization."
Pehry is surprised for a moment, but he doesn't intend to hide anything. He nods and admits, "Yes.
What's wrong?"
He asks casually, but Jasmine cares about it very much.
She takes a deep breath, looks up with a serious expression and meets his gaze. "The doctor says that
all the fee is more than 100,000 yuan. I can't repay so much money for the time being, but I'll try my
best to earn money to repay you. Or I can work in the Red Club. I won't take the salary. The fee will be
deducted from my salary every month, but now all what I can do is...."
Jasmine stops and it takes her 30 seconds to continue, "Extend our relationship to be longer."
Pehry knows that she is self-important, but he never expects that she will say such words. He puts on a
long face and feels surprised. What's more, he feels humiliated.
'What does she think of their relationship?'
'Does she think that it is a deal? Or does she think that it is a bargaining chip which can be negotiated
with him?'
Pehry never knows that his emotions will get out of control like that. He wishes he can give her the best
things around him one second ago, but now he wants to open her head and see what is inside.
'What does she think of me? How can she say such words?'
No wonder she asks to find somewhere private to talk. It is even more embarrassing than a slap in the
face.
Although Pehry is always shameless in front of her and has never camouflaged himself deliberately, he
cares about it very much.
No matter how shameless he is, he can't remain indifferent to her words.
Jasmine does not know that he has so many thoughts. Her mind is also in a mess. She just tries to tell
him the only thing she can do. The deeper meaning she'd like him to know is that she does not reject
him that much.
Unfortunately, Pehry doesn't get it at all. He feels as if his hair is about to be burned by the anger in his
chest.
He sneers and says, "Jasmine, you're using the chips I give you to make a deal with me. Who teaches
you that?"
Jasmine is confused. What do "the deal" and "the chip" mean? She does not understand, "I don't...."
"Don't you...?" Pehry is so angry that he breathes heavily. "I have just paid your father's medical fee.
Then you come to tell me that you'd like to extend our relationship to be longer."
Pehry feels ridiculous and repeats, "How fucking ridiculous. How can you take advantage of our
relationship? I'm shocked by your suggestion."
Jasmine is frightened by his anger. She knows that he has misunderstood her intentions. She grabs his
arm and explains, "You misunderstand me. I don't mean that. I just ... want to be with you too."
Pehry sneers, looks away and sighs. If she said without any purpose, he would probably be so happy
that he would buy the entire hospital for her.
However, after hearing what she has said just now, he doesn't believe her at all. He shakes off her
small hand and his eyes are full of mockery. "No need. Even if you are willing, I feel sick."
He does not need a woman to be with him for money. If that is the case, he has a lot of choices. He
doesn't have to be insulted by her.
The more Pehry thinks about it, the angrier he becomes. He can't stand it anymore and feels
humiliated. He doesn't want to stay with her any longer. He grazes her shoulder and leaves.
Jasmine follows him and notices the impatience and determination in his footsteps. She does not have
the courage to stop him.
She stops, stands there and sees him disappearing at the corner of the floor helplessly.
