Jay stroked Angeline’s beautiful face. She looked at him, smiling brighter than any mountain flower.
To prevent him from worrying about her, Angeline had asked Grandma Boye to inject her with biological agents. She firmly believed that Grandma Boye could completely cure her disease.
However, she was not aware of the fact that Jay had previously discussed her illness with Grandma Boye. Grandma had said that Angelina's disease was initially triggered due to genetics, and her mental illness was due to external causes. The biological agents could only get rid of her psychologically induced factors and allowed her to affirm that she was a healthy person who could do things a healthy person could do. If life went well in the future, perhaps her illness would not reoccur. However, if she encountered major trauma once more, it was not impossible that it would recur.
In a nutshell, there were still variables in the future.
As such, Jay could not let himself become weak because he was Angelina's umbrella and her strongest supporter.
"Jaybie, didn't you notice how lively and healthy I’ve been the past two days? My illness is truly cured,"
Angeline emphasized once more.
Jay smiled and nodded. "Yeah.”
Angeline smiled back charmingly.
Jay asked, "So, what are your plans after this, Angeline?"
Angeline said, "Before I left, I had a long conversation with Grandma. Grandma gave me a couple of suggestions. She said that life is short, and we should learn to live independently. She suggested that I find something I like doing, and the idea sounded selfish a t first, but it's quite philosophical once I've given it a thought. Darling, I've decided to get a job. I want to have a social value instead of staying safe by constantly being in your grasp. I want to enjoy the fruits of your labor every day. I should use my own hands to make contributions to society as much as possible so that it’s worthwhile for me to have come into this world."
Jay did not want Angeline to start working, but Boye's warnings were ringing in his ears. "Angeline will only forget about her anxiety and depression if she stays occupied. The longer she puts them behind her, the better her recovery will be."
Jay could only conceal the worries he had and smiled. "Then, what do you like to do?"
Angeline was confused as well. "I haven't given it that much thought."
She was brimming with self-confidence. "However, anyone raised by you is competent, so it shouldn’t be difficult for me to find a job."
Jay pinched her nose softly and said, "You’re singing your own praises."
