You're The Best Medicine For Me
Chapter 71: Jordan Taught How to Woo a Girl

After dinner, Shirley accompanied Scarlett strolling around the Moores' Manor, while Bryan was walking back to his room to talk about business with Jordan.

As soon as Bryan looked up, he saw Shirley and Scarlett walking on the lawn. Shirley was holding Scarlett's arm, and the two were laughing and talking all the way, very intimate. Bryan was lost in thought for a moment. This was probably the kind of home that he wanted. But then Bryan furrowed involuntarily when he recalled Shirley's rejection of himself. Jordan was tensed and asked when seeing Bryan's look, "Mr. Moore, is there any problem with the procedures? I'll amend it again."

Bryan raised his hand to stop him from talking. He leaned his body backward and stared quietly at Shirley for a while. Seeing this, Jordan raised his head and looked in the direction in which Bryan was looking. And it turned out to be Dr. Thomas.

"Madame Moore seems to be very fond of this doctor." Jordan sighed.

Scarlett sponsored Jordan to finish university, and he knew her temper better than anyone else. Scarlett was very picky, especially to the women beside Bryan. But only Shirley entered into Scarlett's heart. Bryan rubbed his temples and asked, "Jordan, do you have anyone you like?"

Jordan was stunned, looking back at Bryan. His handsome face was blushed, and he raised his hand, scratching his hair unnaturally, saying, "Yes, there is!"

"How did you chase her? And get her to agree to marry you!" Bryan thought of the scene arguing with Shirley in front of the villa tonight when he mentioned this. He didn't understand why Shirley would feel unhappy when he wanted to be responsible to her.

Jordan coughed and said, "Mr. Moore, you have to take your time in pursuing a girl. And there's a saying that goes, 'More haste, less speed'."

Bryan headed up, staring at him, "You understand it?"

"I... just know a little bit. But I knew that some girls just don't like frivolous men very much. It gives her an insecure feeling."

"Frivolous?" Bryan frowned, hearing this, and his voice turned cold, "I'm frivolous?"

"No, no, no. I'm just making an assumption, Mr. Moore. It doesn't mean as what it looks like. After all, for a man who knows a girl for a few days and then wants to get married with her, while the woman happens to have two children and she doesn't like a flash marriage too, she would feel that the man is unreliable and make her very insecure.”

Jordan bent over slightly and said to him thoughtfully and cautiously.

Bryan listened attentively, but he still couldn't figure out a woman's mind.

"I can give her all my property. What else does she want? I notice that most people consider money and a house first before getting married."

Jordan held his forehead, feeling helpless about Bryan's emotional intelligence. How could he still not understand? Dr. Thomas didn't lack in money!

"Mr. Moore, you seem to have forgotten that Dr. Thomas can live well whether she marries or not. She doesn't even need to worry about having other women to seduce her husband, for him being too handsome and rich." After saying this, Jordan felt that his words were too harsh, and he hurriedly explained again, "Mr. Moore, I mean that you have to put yourself in Dr. Thomas's shoes to consider her feelings."

Bryan looked up again, staring at Jordan in a dawning realization. He needed to let Shirley at ease about himself first.

Bryan pulled out a piece of paper and drew up a prenuptial agreement. When Jordan looked at the contents, he felt hopeless again about Bryan's emotional intelligence. He might better remain single... Shirley and Scarlett rarely came out and walked around like this. Shirley had noticed Scarlett's changes towards her today.

Scarlett held Shirley's hand, talking a lot about Bryan having a hard life before returning to the Moore family. She hoped that Shirley could be more tolerant of him in the future.

Shirley was curious about what kind of life Bryan had lived before returning to the Moore family and why he lived in exile. As far as she knew, Bryan's biological mother was no longer alive.

"Madame Moore, are you still going to hide Mr. Moore's condition from me?" Since they mentioned Bryan's past, Shirley brought up the origin of Bryan's illness too. Only by going to its root could Bryan get rid of his alertness to the darkness, allowing him to relax and have a good dream.

Scarlett and Jasmine looked at each other, and they lost their smiles gradually.

"If I tell you, what are you going to do?" Scarlett naturally hoped that Bryan would be cured and wouldn't have to rely on psychiatrists and drugs anymore in the future. She wanted her grandson to have a healthy body too.

Shirley said, "Madame Moore, after this month's observation, Mr. Moore is very sensitive to the darkness and afraid of it too, especially when lying alone in bed at night. His alertness is double that of daytime. Sometimes he would still have convulsions and wake up during his sleep. I've concluded that Mr. Moore must have suffered a psychological and physical trauma. Moreover, it's an event that had cast a serious shadow on him and turned him into this. If you don't tell me, I can't move on to the next step."

"Isn't Mr. Moore sleeping quite well now?" Jasmine hurriedly replied.

Shirley had noticed the hidden pain and pity in Jasmine's eyes. This nanny didn't seem simple, and she might know Bryan's past.

"Yes, but he's still relying. Does Madame Moore wanted him to live his whole life relying on others?" Shirley hoped she could convince Scarlett.

Jasmine was about to speak again, but Scarlett pressed Jasmine's hand and shook her head, "Paisley, it's not that I can't tell you, I just know a bit about it only. I know nothing at all about who and what hurting him before. His cats and dogs, especially canines, are not to be seen."

"The injury on his right arm, was it inflicted by a canine?"

That day when she went to Dawson's basement, she vaguely sensed Bryan's fear of those dogs. But she was helpless too at that time, thinking that the dogs were crazy and terrifying, so she didn't take it too seriously.

Now thinking about the scene back then, Dawson had raised no less than fifteen dogs, and the dogs were all in an insane state. If the dogs were Bryan's psychological trauma, then that day... it took him how much courage to cross the dogs to bring her out. Shirley was moved.

Scarlett nodded and said heartily, "Yes. He had several scars on his body, but they were all removed by laser, except for the one on his arm. He didn't remove it no matter how I talked him into it. Probably that... he didn't want to forget the pain back then."

Scarlett heaved a deep sigh after saying it. Shirley didn't make things difficult for Scarlett, who was heavy-hearted.

Shirley chuckled, "It's alright. It's all in the past. There's still me here. No need to worry."

Scarlett was delighted hearing her words, "Paisley, grandma has something to ask you!"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
