Let's Get Married novel Chapter 743

Her father is still in the hospital, and there is little time left. Pehry can't really do anything. Though he understands, it is still difficult for him to let go of her.

Control....

He moves back a little, withdraws the hand on her shoulder, puts it into the pocket of his pants and props it up a little to conceal his awkward situation.

"Let's eat. I'll take you there after we finish." His voice is hoarse as he speaks.

Jasmine nods and doesn't dare to look at him. She seems to be paying all her attention on the sandwich she is eating and caring for nothing else.

Half an hour later, they tidy up and get out. The driver has already parked the car in the courtyard. He struts in the front, but doesn't sit in the front seat as before. Instead, he stands on her side and opens the car door for her. He bows a little bit and says, "Come on in."

Jasmine watches him open the door for her. He seldom does it though this is not the first time. Thinking of their current relationship, she feels even more embarrassed. Thus, she quickens her pace and gets in. She is about to thank him when she suddenly remembers what he has said before and swallows her words.

He doesn't seem to like it when she thanks him.

So... she decides not to.

Seeing her sit in the car, Pehry follows suit. The driver respectfully protects his head and watches him sit down safely before returning to the driver's seat.

"Mr. Pehry, are you going to the company?"

"No. Let's go to the hospital first."

"Okay."

Not long after, the car starts. Jasmine looks at the villa that is left behind. With outsiders around, she is always a bit restrained.

"How is your father?" He asks her as he lowers his head to read the document.

Jasmine pauses for a moment and says, "Not bad. The operation is quite a success. If there are no other complications later, he can recover well."

He nods slightly, "If anything else happens, just tell me. I can talk to the hospital. It's convenient."

Speaking of the hospital, Jasmine thinks of the operation fee again.

She doesn't know whether to mention it or not. She always feels that if she talks about it, Pehry will definitely be unhappy. However, if she doesn't mention it and accepts such a huge sum of money, she can't get past this in her heart.

After a moment of hesitation, Jasmine still decided to follow her heart and says, "About the surgery and hospitalization fees, I...."

She has just started when Pehry interrupts her. "I said you didn't need to think about it."

"I know." Jasmine quickly explains, "I don't mean anything else. I just feel that it's a big sum of money, and I definitely can't explain how I can afford it at home. It's best if I know the exact number."

However, Pehry pretends not to understand her. "The hospital will settle things with me."

"You know that's not what I'm talking about."

"What is it then?" Seemingly confused by what she has said, the man closes the documents in his hand and turns to look at her. "You mean that you don't want my money?"

Jasmine opens her mouth but says nothing. It seems to be what she means.

"What are you going to do then?" Seeing that she insists on explaining everything clearly, Pehry simply tells her, "Jasmine. You're my girlfriend. If it hadn't been for the urgency, I wouldn't have done this. I don't know how you feel, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm not doing this for you because I have no better ways to spend my money. I just don't want you to suffer more because of this accident. Understand?"

Not only is there a huge disparity in status between them, there is also a huge disparity in financial resources. However, Pehry has always deliberately avoided talking about it. He doesn't want her to feel any pressure, but despite what he has done, she is more sober than anyone else.
