Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) novel Chapter 1644

Jay tasted the tea and could tell that it was premium tea. He took a sip and put down the cup.

He then poured another glass of water for Angeline and handed it to her. "Want to drink?"

Angeline took it and moved it to her mouth with quivering hands. Jay held the teacup with his hands, afraid that Angeline would break it.

The old woman looked fixedly at Angeline with enquiring eyes.

"How long has she been ill?"

Jay glossed it over. "Twice, but it won't last long. Angeline is very brave and will overcome the illness b y herself."

The old woman nodded with a smile.

She did not doubt a word that Jay said. "With your meticulous care, I’m sure she’ll get better very soon."

After a pause, the old woman suddenly asked, "She has gastrointestinal problems?”

Jay looked at the old woman in astonishment. If she was not a professional, how would she know that depression could also trigger gastrointestinal problems?

The old woman did not give an explanation, but instead, she walked into the house and came back out with a bag of oats. She handed it to Jay, saying, "Take these oats home and make some for her every day. If she can't eat, then make her drink. This will help with her gastrointestinal problems."

Jay would not normally turn down anything that could potentially help Angeline.

"Thank you, Granny." Jay was very grateful to the old woman.

The old woman took out a chessboard, placed it on the stone table, and said, "My husband loves to play chess, but I'm terrible at it. Sir, I can see that you’re a really wise man. Can you play a game of chess with my husband?"

Jay hesitated. He was a little worried. What was Angeline supposed to do if he was focused on playing chess?

The old woman said, "Don’t worry, I’ll keep this child company. It will be better than her lying in your arms all the time."

Jay was skeptical, but the old woman had stretched out her hand lovingly.
