A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 388

Bonnie stutters, "Doc-doctor?"

Justin replies with a smile, "Please open the door. I'll go in and take a look at her."

"I'm afraid that's inappropriate." Fearing that he would find out the birth control pills in Jessie's milk, she tries her best to stop him. "It's not appropriate for a male doctor to check where Miss Jessie got injured. Why don't you give me the medicine?"

"I don't need to check. I will just ask her." Justin spares his courtesies. "Get out of the way."

Bonnie is afraid giving out more information if she keeps stopping him. Moreover, he is Mr. Leigh's friend.

She has no choice but to open the door and invite Justin in. She wants to see if Jessie finishes her meal and then takes the plate, only to find that Jessie doesn't drink the milk at all.

"You can go out. I don't like to be interrupted at work," Justin says to Bonnie.

"Then, I'll take the plate." Bonnie looks at the glass of milk, growing anxious. "Miss Jessie, is today's breakfast not to your liking? Let me change it for you."

Justin stops Bonnie and smiles. "Just leave it here. She needs something sweet after a blood draw."

Bonnie wants to say something, but Justin adds, "Please go out now."

Bonnie can only walk out in fear.

Only when he is alone with Jessie does he realizes that she is skinny and pale-cheeked, looking quite different from before.

She even gets bruises all over.

"Leigh is..." Justin wants to say something, but he is aware that he shouldn't be a meddler. He shakes his head and opens the medical kit.

He asks Jessie, "Can I take your blood for an examination?"

Jessie purses her lips silently and stretches out her hand.

Justin pricks her index finger with a blood taking needle and drips her blood on the analyzer.

Within less than ten seconds, the instrument finishes the analysis of Jessie's physical condition.

After reading the report, Justin says to her, "You're in good health but has anemia and malnutrition, so don't skip meals and particularly, eat more meat."

He chatters on, but Jessie remains silent. Seeing this, he rubs his eyebrows. "You don't want to talk to me because of Leigh?"

Jessie shakes her head.

"Then why the silence when I talked to you?" Justin asks in puzzlement.

Jessie walks to the bedside table for a pen and notebook. She writes and then shows it to him. "There is a problem with my voice, so I can't speak."

"Did you get tonsillitis?"

Seeing Jessie shake her head again, Justin touches her throat and asks, "Does this hurt? When did you lose your voice? Did it hurt at that time?"

Jessie writes again, "I can't talk anymore after catching a cold."

"That's just a cold and has nothing to do with your vocal cords." Justin catches a glimpse of the milk on the table and immediately knows something at the thought of how flustered Bonnie was just now.

He takes out a few bottles of medicine from the kit.

After making up Jessie's prescription, he gives it to her and says, "When you get up every day, drink some of this in warm water. If you still can't speak in a week, ask the servant to call me."

Jessie smiles bitterly as if she doesn't want it, but she takes it, anyway.

Justin gives her another two boxes of ointment. Seeing that it's getting late, he starts to pack up the medical kit. Before leaving, he pours some milk into the bottle and brings it with him.

Bonnie has been waiting outside.

Seeing Justin walk out, she comes up and asks, "Is Miss Jessie alright?"

"You don't hope so?" Justin asks.
