Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 489

However, the flames dwindled once again as he set his eyes on Rose's widened eyes.

In the end, he forced out the words, "Looks like I owe you a reward for your hard work."

That was not what he wanted to say!

Rose stared expectantly at Jay, not knowing what he was referring to by 'reward'.

"Is there something you want?" Jay took in her eager gaze.

She merely lied and said, "I'm merely doing my job, Mr. President. There's no need for a reward."

Assuming she was avarice, Jay did not beat around the bush. "How about a cash reward?"

The glimmer in Rose's eyes instantly dimmed.

Jay frowned. Had she not been short on cash these days?

"Don't need the extra cash?" he asked curiously.

Rose nodded.

At this, he was internally shocked, 'Didn't she tell Empire Without Sunset that she was short on cash?

'Perhaps she has gotten help somewhere else.'

Sera was blunt with her words when she said, "Then

why work as a care worker if you don't need the extra cash?"

Rose replied with barely suppressed mirth, "I have an online friend who's essentially a spoiled rich kid. He lost a lot of money dueling with me." Jay's lips twitched harshly.

How dare she refer to him as a 'spoiled rich kid' behind his back?

"If you don't want a cash reward, that's fine." Frustrated, he decided to confiscate her benefits.

Not wanting to let such a golden opportunity slip, Rose suddenly blurted out, "Can you employ me as an official worker, Mr. President?"

Jay's mouth gaped slightly in surprise.

It turned out that this was her true intention after all.

"No, I can't." Jay rejected her request curtly.

The image of his woman working hard to please and serve other patients only to be treated on the whims of their moods had Jay avidly disagreeing. Rose slumped forward, void of energy.

The sight of her weighed down by the worries in her heart immediately broke down Jay's resolve.

He turned his head to speak to the matron, "Help her conversion process."

Immediately, Rose fell on her knees in happiness."

Thank you, Mr. President."

Jay's expression darkened even further as he spoke in an exasperated tone, "I'm not your God!"

At that, Jay walked toward Old Master Severe.

"Everyone out. I want to talk to him in private."

Both Rose and Sera followed the matron out.

The hospital room was left unusually quiet.

Sitting by the headboard, Jay stared at Old Master Severe.

The dry and dazed eyes of Old Master Severe focused on Jay.

"Did you see, Grandfather Severe? That your precious granddaughter is the care worker responsible for you.

"I'm sorry I didn't protect her well. But don't you worry, I'll make sure to return the innocent and carefree Angeline to you the moment you recover." The Grand Old Master's eyes watered.

Experience told him, from the scene he heard moments ago, that the love Jay had for Angeline only grew more intense as days passed.

This couple merely had too many obstacles to overcome, and that made him especially sad.

Jay was a man of few words, and with the important things already said, he fell silent.

He reached out to press the nurse call button so that the cute and adorable Rose could come in and revive the atmosphere in the room.

Instead, Sera was the first to burst into the room.

"What's wrong with my grandfather, Brother Jay?"

Jay's handsome features were cold. "Call the care worker."

Sera immediately deflated.

Then, Rose followed right behind.

Feeling frantic, she rushed over to the bed and checked on Old Master Severe.
