Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 856

Boyce drove all the way to the old mansion, and by the time he arrived the sky had already darkened.

Jasmine was holding Joshua and playing with him in the living room, and upon entering, Boyce immediately asked about what had happened today.

“Didn’t you know about it? It’s exactly like I said.” Jasmine replied.

Boyce reached out, wanting to hold Joshua too, but Jasmine smacked his hand away, “Did you wash your hands?”

Boyce had nothing to say about that.

Jasmine repeated, “You need to wash your hands.”

“Then I don’t want to hold him anymore.”

Boyce sat down on the sofa and Jasmine came near him, “I am utterly bewildered when I saw the full box of cash. Fearing that I would burden you, I really don’t know what kind of trouble would ensue if it were not for Dolores’ idea.”

She looked at Boyce seriously, “Did you offend somebody?”

Or else, why would something like that happen?

Boyce said without any tinge of emotion, “I will deal with it.”

Jasmine continued, “Well, anything goes as long as you are aware of your role. Right, when we have dinner later, remember to say some thanks to Dolores. I couldn’t get through to you on the phone, and at that time I was completely clueless, and it was Dolores who saved me from that predicament. Or else, when push comes to shove, things might deteriorate in an unimaginable way.”

Boyce nodded.

With a creaky voice, the door of the room was opened, and with Andrew and Amanda flanking on both sides, they helped Jayden in from outside. His body was getting worse by the day, and walking itself was a hard ordeal for him now. There must be someone who could help him walk nowadays.

Boyce saw the two children having a hard time steadying the old man, so he got up, walked towards them to assist, “Let me help you settle down on the sofa.”

Jayden simply nodded.

He didn’t last long on the sofa too as tiredness caught up to him. Boyce then proceeded to help him back to his room.

When it was time for dinner, Dolores prepared all the dishes and carried them into the house.

It seemed that he lacked appetite, and he seemed uncomfortable lying in bed. Dolores placed the dishes on the table by the bed and said in a soft voice, “Let me call the doctor over.”

Jayden sounded weak, “No need. Just go… mind your business.”

This was not the first time Dolores saw him getting tortured by disease, and she knew that nobody could shoulder this pain for him too. It made her feel hapless and sorry.

His dinner was watched over by Jessica and Coral, so she exited the room to make a call to the doctor so that he could come to check on Jayden.

Seeing that Jayden’s condition was getting worse, her fear grew by the day, although the dominant emotion gripping her was sadness. There was a starry sky tonight, and she raised her head to gaze at the sky.

“Why are you sitting here?”

Matthew came in from outside and Dolores turned her head and saw him. She then got up and approached him while saying softly, “I saw dad being in a lot of pain, so I have called Dr. Jason over.”

Matthew patted her, “I got it. Come in the house, it’s chilly out here.”
