Chapter 755: The Relationship Isn’t Open to the Public
On this day, Jasmine is in a bad mood. On the one hand, it is because there are too many sick people around in the hospital. It's impossible for her to be in a good mood after seeing so many patients. But the most important thing is because of Bridget's words.
From childhood, she has been praised for being sensible, but her strengths are also her weaknesses. Because she thinks that it's not easy for Bridget and Cyrus to bring her up, she is obedient to her parents.
When she was a little girl, she was very happy to hear that. However, when she grows up, she realizes that her family's words could put a lot of psychological pressure on her. Just like now, even though she disagrees with Bridget's words and even feels much pressure, she would still do as Bridget said.
Although this kind of promise could alleviate the feeling of guilt towards her family, it's still a kind of pressure and burden for herself.
Jasmine doesn't realize this before, but now she could clearly feel that she really wants to see Pehry. It's precisely because of this that she could sense her true thoughts.
But she can't completely ignore her family's thoughts now. She can only choose a compromise.
That night, Jasmine slept in the ward after dinner in the hospital cafeteria. It was not convenient to wash up, but fortunately, she could make do with it. Because of Pehry, she and her family receive a lot of special care in the hospital.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, Pehry calls her. Jasmine finds an excuse to slip out of the ward and walks to the corner to make sure that no one could hear before answering the phone.
"Hello?"
"Are you in the hospital?" Compared to her low voice, the man's voice is much more relaxed.
Jasmine lowers her voice and says, "Yes, I'm accompanying my father."
"What are you going to eat tonight? I'll take you out for dinner and send you back." As Pehry speaks, he gets into the car and winks at the driver. The driver understands and drives towards the hospital.
However, the next second, Jasmine stammers awkwardly, "I, I may not be able to have dinner with you tonight."
Pehry is a little unexpected by the sudden rejection.
Quickly, he comes back to his senses and immediately thinks of the situation at her home. He asks, "What's wrong? Did something happen in the hospital?"
Jasmine doesn't want him to know that Bridget doesn't allow her to see him. After all, it is indeed a great blow to his confidence.
She bites her lip and pauses for a few seconds before saying, "Yes, my father has too many examinations to do. My mother has been very tired in the hospital recently, and my aunt and uncle have to go to work. I need take care of my father here."
Pehry nods. Thinking back to the other two unfamiliar faces he saw outside that day, they should be her aunt and uncle, right?
Although he is not deeply impressed by them, he could still remember their general appearance. He has seen all kinds of people over the years, and he could see at a glance what kind of people they are.
No matter how busy she is, she can't forget to eat.
"What do you want to eat? I'll buy it and send it to you."
When Jasmine hears that he is coming, she feels a little overwhelmed, "There is no need. I will grab a bite at the hospital. There's everything in the canteen."
Pehry knows why she refuses him. He sighs helplessly, "I'll send it to you. You can eat it in the cafeteria before going upstairs. You won't be discovered."
Jasmine is both moved and somewhat guilty when her thoughts are detected. She stammers for a long time without saying a word. In the end, Pehry is still afraid that she would be embarrassed. He says, "Then it's settled. I'll see you near the canteen later. I won't drive in." Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
In order not to be discovered, he has already done everything he could to keep a low profile.
Jasmine could only agree, "Then at half past six, I'll wait for you."
After hanging up the phone, she doesn't dare to waste too much time. She hurriedly turns around and goes back to the ward. As soon as she steps into the ward, she hears Bridget say, "Jasmine, you can go to the canteen to eat first. There are too many people, you'll have to queue up later."
Jasmine quietly walks to the side of the bed and tucks Cyrus in, saying, "You go eat first, mom. I'll go down and have wonton later."
The wonton in the cafeteria is sold in a separate window. Normally, there is no need to queue up, and fewer people buy it.
Bridget glances at her and says, "Aren't you hungry?"
"Yes."
"Then I'll go first. I just plan to buy steamed egg custard for your father. Stay here and look after your father for a while." Bridget says as she takes out the meal card from her bag and walks out of the door.
Jasmine hurriedly nods, "I see."
After Bridget leaves, she turns her head back and couldn't help but lower her head and sigh. She really doesn't have any experience in telling lies.
However, ever since she is young, Jasmine has never thought that one day, she would actually hide it from her family because of a man.
After Bridget finishes her dinner, it is only early six o'clock. When Cyrus finishes his meal with Jasmine and Cyrus' help, and it is half past six o'clock.
Bridget urges Jasmine to have dinner. Jasmine takes the opportunity to leave the ward excitedly with a calm expression.
She quickly walks to the elevator and looks at the number of words displayed on it with anxiety.
Hurry up...
After taking the elevator to the lobby on the first floor, Jasmine almost trots all the way to the canteen area. She takes out her phone and calls Pehry.
The phone rings a few times before Pehry picks it up. She pants and asks, "I'm at the entrance of the cafeteria. Where are you?"
The man's calm voice enters her ears. There are only two simple words, "Turn around."
Jasmine was nervous. She quickly turns around. Not far away, under the sycamore tree, she sees an elongated figure standing by the side of the path. He wears a dark gray T-shirt with a white collar on its collar. It is obvious that it has been temporarily put on.
His suit is so conspicuous that he deliberately disguises himself.
Jasmine doesn't know whether to laugh or cry, but the happy when she sees him has surpassed all. She smiles happily and runs all the way to the man. The wind blows her hair in front of her forehead, and she is flushed.
She smiles, looking extremely charming, "Hello."
Pehry looks at the smiling face in front of him and almost couldn't move his gaze away. Her expression of surprise, excitement, and admiration touches him, if it isn't for the wrong occasion, he would immediately pull her into his arms and kiss her.
However, he could only endure it now.
Pehry hands her the black insulation bucket in his hand and restrains himself with some difficulty, "Your meal."
Jasmine takes it and asks, "Are you in a bad mood?"
The first thing she thinks about is there is something wrong with his work. She asks, "Did something happen at the company again?"
"Pehry says, "No. I'm not allowed to go public with our relationship. Therefore, I'm a little unhappy."
