Rose pushed Jay's hand back. "I don't need anyone to be my lab rat."

If she wanted to practice, she would try it on herself.

She returned to the corner of the room, took out the needles that she had prepared earlier, and rolled up her sleeves. Then, she began to practice on her hand.

Jay was shocked to see what she was doing.

'Isn't she afraid of needles?'

There was a time when she had caught the flu and he wanted to bring her to the hospital, but she grabbed o n to him while crying profusely. "Jaybie, please, I beg you. Don't bring me to the hospital. I don't want to be injected..."

She was a young lady, yet she had cried like she did not have any dignity left.

Jay's heart ached. All these years, nobody had showered her with love. As a result, she grew to become so strong and brave.

Rose ignored Jay's stares and focused on the needle that was about to be poked into her hand.

The first try went sideways a little and made her twitch in pain.

Jay's eyelids twitched along as well.

On the second try, she managed to get her vein, but the blood would not stop flowing. She calmly took a cotton ball to stop the bleeding! "Stop!" Jay could not stand watching her suffer, so he shouted.

Rose looked at him with puzzlement.

"Stop poking. I can't stand the sight of blood!"

Rose was taken aback. 'He can't stand the sight of blood? Why didn't I know this?

'He's lying.'

She gloomily kept the needles and opened up her book to continue her reading.

Unfortunately, her mood was in a mess and she could not concentrate.

Jay wondered aloud, "Are you planning to be a care worker for life?"

He felt uneasy seeing her diligently studying nursing.

He had only tricked her over because he wanted her to be closer to him, not because he wanted her to become a care worker.

Rose nodded with sincerity. "I've given much consideration to it. Grand Asia provides a good salary to their care workers. Besides, I'm wearing a mask at work and facing gravely ill patients who don't have the energy to taunt another person. It's something I can live with."

Jay's eyes reddened.

'She's still traumatized.'

"Tough times will pass on. They don't define you, they refine you. Do you understand my meaning?" Jay asked.

Rose was stunned that he had the patience to advise a stranger!

"Thank you." She smiled.

In the afternoon, another critically ill patient was admitted. However, due to the fully occupied wards, they could only be given a bed along the corridor.

When Rose went to the toilet, she walked past to see the man watching over his critically ill wife while crying buckets of tears. He unceasingly blamed himself, saying, "My dear, I'm sorry for being useless. I f only I could have saved up for the hospital fees earlier and sent you in sooner, then your condition wouldn't have deteriorated so much."

Rose's eyes reddened.

She walked over with tears in her eyes but still smiled at the lady. "You're so blessed that you have a husband who won't give up or leave when you're ill."

The woman's complexion appeared sallow because she was ill, but she still had a kind expression and nodded with difficulty when she saw Rose. "It's hard on him." The woman then shed tears.

"I don't want to burden him, but he's even sold our house to get money for my treatment. If I die now, what would happen to him?"

Rose held her hand and gently comforted her, saying," All the more reason you can't die. I'll see what I can do to help."

She returned to the VVIP room.

When he saw tears in her large eyes, he was shocked." What happened?"

Rose slowly approached him. "President..."

She could not stop herself from crying because of the sadness she felt. "Could you make way for the pitiful couple outside to have this room?"

"Then what about me?" Jay was unhappy at the thought of being away from her.

Rose said, "You're the president of Grand Asia. Even if you stay along the corridor, the doctors wouldn't dare to mistreat you."

Jay widened his eyes. "Are you asking me to sleep along the corridor?"

Rose said in between sobs, "That couple is really pitiful."
