After a long and hectic night, Angeline and Jay could only sleep for a short while before it was dawn again.
Worried about his mother, Jay finished his breakfast i n a hurry and rushed to the hospital.
This time, Angeline did not insist on going to the hospital with him. Jay looked at Angeline in surprise." Don't... you want to come along?"
Angeline waved at him and said self-deprecatingly," I'm not going. My presence will not be conducive for your mother's recovery."
Jay stroked her nose and said, "How nice would it be i f my mother knows how to avoid conflict and live together in harmony?"
Angeline saw the forlorn look in Jay's eyes and stroked his handsome face gently, doing her best to calm him down. "Don't worry. I'll take a detour the next time I see her. I won't get mad at her anymore either, lest she falls sick again and you’re the one who has to suffer."
Jay held Angeline's hands with his large warm ones. His delicate and charming face lit up with a dazzling smile. "You’re the best."
Only Angeline would compromise for his sake.
"Jaybie, you're someone whom I will spend the rest of my life with, so of course, I must treat you well. I want you to be healthy, to be happy, and live a long life so that you can protect me forever." Angeline gently planted a kiss on his forehead.
They would have endless honeyed words to say to each other every time they spent time together. Jay was especially fond of quiet and peaceful times like this, and at that very moment, he simply wanted to stay next to Angeline and not go anywhere.
Angeline said softly, "It's late now, Jaybie. Just be sure to come home early."
Jay looked at her with tender eyes. For some reason, Angelina's exhortation had become gentle and pampering. She was no longer so intensely coquettish like when she was young.
She was a genuinely mature and charming wife now.
"Mm," Jay said, unwillingly to part with her.
