Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 484

"Just how pitiful are they?"

"The wife is severely sick, so her husband sold off everything they owned to pay for her treatment. The husband's a good man, sticking by her side until the end." Jay was speechless.

"I don't think you're cut out for care work."

Rose's eyes widened. "Why not?"

"You're too sympathetic."

Rose tutted. "Pretty sure you're just cold-blooded..."

Jay sighed heavily as he watched Rose sob. "Shh. Don't cry."

"I can't help it." Rose wiped her tears off with the back of her hand.

Jay spoke, "Come help me pack. I'm getting discharged."

In that instant, Rose's teary expression burst into a smile. "Really?"

He nodded with a darkened gaze.

She immediately piled his documents with quick effectiveness and stood by the bed.

Slowly sitting up, Jay demanded, "Help me change."

Rose tensed. "Don't you have limbs?" "I don't have the energy."

"You liar. You were fine this morning when Sera passed you a cup of water..."

Realizing she had let it slip out of her mouth, Rose immediately clamped both her hands over her mouth.

Glancing at her from the corner of his eyes, he said, "I can't let someone who isn't a care worker do that for me. You, however, have to do your duties as a care worker."

Rose was lost for words!

At an impasse, neither of them moved.

"This is an emergency. Your patients out there might be dying at any moment while you waste your time here dilly-dallying."

Rose quickly sat down and helped him take his hospital gown off.

With how closely the two were standing to each other, Jay could not help his desire from arising. He wanted to touch her every time he was told to raise his arms. Rose's hands trembled viciously out of nervousness.

After struggling for a while over the same button, she looked at him guiltily.

Jay's gaze was fortunately still gentle, so Rose braved on to unbutton it.

Jay stared at the little lady standing so close to him and finally leaned forward to place his lips against her forehead. He was unable to stave the desire off after all. Shocked, Rose pushed him away only for Jay to drop his weight on her shoulder in a smooth progression. "I have no energy. Let me lie here for a while." Rose stared blankly at nothing in shock.

Her mind was blown. Was this man taking advantage of her on purpose?

No way!

How could such a clean freak of a patient possibly have such scandalous thoughts for a hideous-looking person like her?

Then, was he really feeling unwell?

"Are you alright?"

The corners of Jay's lips curled mirthfully as he took in her concerned tone.

"Don't worry about it. I'll live."

"Perhaps it'd be best that you stay for a few more days?"

Jay's smile glowed brighter.

He could not wait to be discharged, for he had already thought of a way to further shorten their distance.

"No. As the President of Grand Asia, I cannot allow the

patients' health to be threatened."

Rose was close to tears due to how touched she was after seeing this man's nobility.

"On behalf of the patient's families, thank you, Mr. President."

Jay was silent.

Soon after, Grayson arrived to pick Jay up.

The sight of Jay in a wheelchair had Grason slightly taken aback.

Handing Jay over to Grayson, Rose purposefully reminded them and said, "It was a slight allergic reaction, so technically, there's no need for medication. Just remember, abstain from drinking and eating spicy foods!"

Grayson was confused. All the doctors used to say was 'no drinking' the last time the president had an allergic reaction. Why did he have to abstain from spicy foods as well this time?
