In the evening, Jay was no longer as clingy and even tried coaxing Angeline. "I'll cough continuously at night. It might affect your rest. Why don’t you sleep in the next bedroom, Angeline?"
Angeline shook her head and refused him resolutely." No. You’re a patient, so I can’t leave you here all alone."
Jay used his trump card, saying, "Hey now. Be a good girl. I’ll be all better tomorrow when you wake up."
In the past, Angeline would have melted when she heard these words, and this sentence would have made her obey his every word.
Now, Angeline merely squeezed out a bright smile at him. When she uttered her following sentence, her tone was firmer than before, "No, I'll sleep with you.”
Afterward, Angeline jumped onto the bed and lay down beside him without taking off her clothes.
Jay sat up in a panic and stared at Angeline blankly.
If he had known that he would not be able to deal with the troubles Angeline would cause at night, he would not have begged to return to Carefree Garden with her.
"Angeline, you have weak immunity. You'll get infected if you stick so close to me," said Jay sharply.
Angeline suddenly leaned forward, trying to shut his nagging mouth with hers.
Jay was so startled that his pupils shrank as he hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand. Angeline's kiss landed on the back of his hand instead.
"Angeline, I can't sleep if you're here," he muttered endlessly.
"When did you become so talkative?”
After Angeline said this, she deliberately closed her eyes and let out a snore. The sound was thunderous.
Jay was in between laughter and tears.
He picked up the face mask on the bedside table. After putting on two layers of medical surgical masks, he lay down next to Angeline.
