Jasmine climbs up to the fourth floor fast. There are two households in one floor of the old building.
Jasmine knocks on the door. It’s her uncle, Noel Wald, who comes to open the door.
Seeing Jasmine standing outside, Noel politely asks her in and says, "Welcome, Jasmine!"
"Good evening, Uncle Noel." Jasmine greets politely. After changing her shoes at the door, she looks
up at her aunt in the living room and greets, "Good evening, Aunt Hillary."
"Welcome, Jasmine!" Hillary's attitude is slightly worse than that of Noel. After all, Hillary is Jasmine's
relative and they have a closer relationship. So Hillary shows her unhappiness more obviously about
Jasmine's coming over to stay over.
Jasmine knows that they don't want her to stay over. Although their child is currently stay in high school
and there is a spare room for Jasmine. However, it is inconvenient for them if Jasmine stays over.
Jasmine can understand them. After all, she is bothering them. It will be good for her to have a shelter.
So she doesn't take it to heart. She doesn't act like a princess. She pours a glass of water for Hillary.
"Aunt Hillary, I'll have to trouble you and uncle when my father is in hospital."
"It's OK. Don't be so courteous since we are a family?" Noel waves his hand and hands Jasmine a
banana but not an orange.
Oranges are more expensive. Jasmine thinks that they might not want her to eat the oranges.
However, Jasmine doesn't plan to eat the banana. She politely takes it and puts it aside. "I spend most
of time in the school and hospital. I'll have meals in the cafeteria. I only come back to sleep at night. My
routines are normal. You can rest assured of that, Aunt Hillary."
"Of course I rest assured. The only thing I'm worried about is that I won't be able to take good care of
you. I'm afraid that your mother will feel distressed."
"It's fine." Jasmine smiles and says, "I'm such a grown-up. I can take good care of myself."
"That's fine," Hillary says immediately, "Your uncle and I are usually busy on work. And we have to go
to the hospital to see your father from time to time. Don't mind if we don't take good care of you."
"I won't." Jasmine knows that her aunt is supposed to mean something, but she also knows that she is
a junior. She keeps being polite and doesn't seem to be angry at all.
Even though she is disgusted with it very much.
Back then, when Hillary's daughter came to City B for some affair, Jasmine's family took good care of
her. Now, Jasmine asks them to provide a place for her to stay, and they have so many complaints.
Sure enough, people are not all the same.
After a brief chat, Hillary takes Jasmine to a temporary room.
Jasmine brings along some daily necessities. After she quickly puts the things away, she cleans up the
sheets that she has changed.
When Noel sees this, he whispers, "Jasmine is quite thoughtful."
Hillary nudges him and signals him not to speak.
Jasmine pretends that she doesn't notice it and focuses on what she is doing. She is a little depressed.
But when she returns to her room and sees Pehry's message, she becomes happy.
She is disliked by others, but she is treated as a princess by him. He seems like a high wall built
around her, capable of blocking all damage from the outside world.
Pehry encourages Jasmine to be stronger and calm.
Jasmine is no longer the one who carefully guarded her pride. She has become a powerful Jasmine
who can face these bad things alone.
In a good relationship, they can grow up together. Jasmine suddenly feels grateful that she meets
Pehry while she is in such an ordinary and somewhat troubled life.
Pehry always says that she is the light and color of his dark life, but he doesn't know that she thinks the
same way as he does.
...
Cyrus’ condition gradually becomes better day by day. He has been hospitalized for nearly half a
month. After the examination, the doctor is sure that Cyrus can be discharged from the hospital.
Cyrus is the happiest one. Firstly, he has recovered from his illness. Secondly, when he thinks of the
cost of him staying in the hospital, he is frightened.
Jasmine immediately tells Pehry the good news, but Pehry is a little worried. "Can he be discharged so
early? He hasn't done rehabilitation exercises yet, right?"
"The doctor said that he could do that at home. Moreover, it costs a lot to stay in the hospital. My father
doesn't want to spend so much money." They can't afford to spend hundreds yuan a day.
"Are you sure to discharge him?
"Yes, my mother has gone through the discharge procedures."
Pehry says, "Alright then. Where will your parents live after you leave the hospital?"
"My mother wants to rent a house here, but my father still wants to go back to hometown to wait for a
further consultation and he will rush over at that time." Jasmine tells everything to Pehry.
"I'll have some to send them."
Jasmine doesn't refuse. Bridget is worried about how they get back to hometown and afraid that they
would get in an illegal taxi.
Jasmine is also very worried. Now that Pehry is willing to help, she doesn't need to forcefully refuse.
"Thank you...." she whispers to the man on the other end of the phone, "Weren't it for you, we can't
settle this down so easily."
Jasmine's family is from around here. They have no relatives in J City. Her aunt and uncle are all
ordinary people, who can't help if they have any problems.
If Pehry didn't help them, Cyrus couldn't undergo the surgery in such a timely manner. Judging from
Cyrus’ condition at that time, they didn't know what would have happened if he couldn't undergo the
surgery in time.
Therefore, Jasmine is grateful to Pehry very much.
"Don't be silly," Pehry says, "Since I am your boyfriend, isn't it normal for me to do this for you?"
"I need to thank you." Jasmine knows he doesn't like her being so courteous. She continues, "I have to
thank you ... on behalf of my father."
"There's no need for that. Your father is my father-in-law. From now on, we will be a family."
When Jasmine hears Pehry's self-righteous voice, she doesn't know what to say again.
They have been in contact for a short time. Father-in-law? They haven't got married. What exactly is he
thinking...?
However, Jasmine does feel happy.
She is very happy that Pehry values her parents so much, not as a noble, but as her boyfriend.
Pehry quickly sends a car to the hospital. Jasmine lies to Bridget that her classmate's family is doing
this kind of business and she pays 500 yuan.
Bridget barely believes it and gets into the car with Cyrus.
"Jasmine, are you going with us or..."
Jasmine waves her hand and say, "I still have class. I'll come home to see you later this weekend."
Cyrus nods. "Alright, you should take care of yourself and rest for a few days. Don't worry about us. I'll
be fine once I am discharged from the hospital."
"OK, I see." Jasmine carefully marks the dosage of medicine prescribed by the hospital for her father.
As she watches the car drive away, she finally relaxes.
