"The child has severe injuries, Angeline. We should let her rest."
Angeline looked at Sis Thirteen with a reluctant gaze." I need to stay and take care of her..."
"Argh!" Jay suddenly clutched his stomach and furrowed his brows.
Angeline instantly shifted her attention to Jay, asking anxiously, "Is your stomach acting up again, Jaybie?”
Jay nodded. "Help me into the house to rest."
Hence, Angeline supported Jay outside.
Jay had just taken a few steps when he suddenly turned around and ordered Grayson and Finn, "By the way, Grayson, Finn, the two of you will live here from now on. Spring is nearly here and Baby Zetty and Jens have fallen far too behind in their studies. Please stay i n Green Plum Town and help them catch up in their studies. I want you to draw up a timetable for me by tonight."
Finn and Grayson exchanged glances at each other. When their eyes met, they could read the implicit meaning of Master Ares' words from each other’s doubtful eyes. They then replied reverently, “Yes, Master Ares."
Angeline helped Jay into the bedroom.
Jay lay on the bed, his back leaning against the headboard as he stared at Angeline bustling about for him with a languid gaze. His mesmerizing face was adorned with a blissful smile.
Angeline found a moxibustion box and lit up a moxa stick. The burning dried mugwort sent tears to her eyes.
"What is this?" Jay asked curiously.
Angeline explained with a smile, "This is the moxibustion method I learned from the villagers. It can warm you up and make you feel better!"
She walked over with the moxibustion box. In front of the copper alloy moxibustion box was a beautiful purse embroidered with a pair of doves.
Jay's eyes fell on the pair of poorly embroidered doves and laughed. "Are these doves or wild birds?”
Angeline blushed with shame. She was terrible at embroidery and this was her first time learning it, hence her doves looked hideous.
Angeline said shyly, "Well, that depends. Do you want them to be doves or wild birds?”
