Erin sensed the tension in the air. It was the first ti she saw Jas looked so aggressive and ferocious. He looked as if he would tear her apart in any seconds.
"Jas..." Erin's voice was trembling. She knew Jessica's life was hanging by a thread because she was bitten by a poisonous snake. That was why Jas was furious.
But Erin knew she regretted nothing.
She wished Jessica would drop dead at the second!
With the thought in mind, Erin looked more vicious. But she let Jas see her tender side, "Jas, Ah..."
She was about to say sothing when Jas used more force. He almost forced her down on the ground.
Jas didn't want to give her any chance, saying harshly, "Your friend must enjoy being a military whore at the border. Would you like to keep her company?"
Erin looked at her with amazent, "How dare you! Jas, if you make you a military whore, I'll make you lose fortune and na!"
Jas sneered and looked at the bodyguard. Trained security knew what to do. They walked forward to take Erin out, leaving her screaming and swearing in the air.
After Erin was taken away, the bodyguard asked, "Sir, what should we do about Miss Caitan?'
Jas waved with hesitation, and the bodyguard left the room.
The cigarette was almost done lightening. Jas didn't realize the fire approached his fingers until he heard so noise.
"Mr. Moore."
Jas looked up, and it was a bald, middle-aged man.
"Fuck off!"
Jas would not give the man a second look.
The man said, "Sir, I'm here to deliver dicine."
"What dicine?" Jas lifted up his eyebrows.
The man said, "An old lady asked to deliver a bunch of stuff. She asked us to boil them with high temperature for over three hours, and put them in buckets to be sent here."
Jas was still confused as to what the old lady was trying to do. Then he heard soone calling from the bedroom, "Move it in here!"
Jas turned around, and the old lady stood there, looking timid, explaining, "Miss Clifford needs those dicine."
Then Jas turned around and walked to the bedroom. He grabbed the old lady by her collar, asking, "How's she doing?"
The old lady couldn't help trembling, saying, "I am not sure yet. It depends on how the dicine works."
Jas didn't ask more and charged over in the bedroom.
He ca to Jessica's bed and looked at her. Her face was pale, and her eyes were close. He had a bad feeling and felt his brain buzzing.
Jas reached out to Jessica with shaking hands. He tried to touch her face. But he didn't have the courage.
At last, Jas grabbed Jessica's shoulders, roaring, "Jessica, open your eyes! I have told you I do not allow you to die! I won't! Won't! Won't!"
Then Jas held Jessica in his arms and started roaring.
"Ahem...if you don't let go, I'm gonna die."
Jas felt his stiff back, hearing Jessica's weak voice. He turned sullen and cold.
Jas pushed Jessica away and asked, "Are you trying to make a fool of ?"
Jessica was speechless.
She didn't have the ti to ss with Jas. She was sleeping, and Jas ca in and started yelling. He said, "won't" a lot of tis and shook her so hard that her brain hurt.
But she didn't die, Jessica thought.
The old lady looked at Jas with amazent at the entrance of the door. She swallowed saliva so hard when Jas looked back at her. She felt Jas would kill her at any ti.
The bald man ca in asking others to carry the big wood buckets. Then they poured the dicine from the thermos and into the wood buckets.
Another four furnaces were carried in the bedroom with pots on each one.
Nobody seed to understand what was going on.
The old lady mustered up the courage and looked back at Jas's murderous look and approached him and said, "Miss Clifford, please take a bath in the bucket."
Jas asked with uncertainty, "Are you sure it will work?"
The old lady was terrified Jas would kill her out of a fit of rage. She answered instantly, "I've eased her acupoints. But she needs to take a dical bath in case anything harmful still resides in her body. And soaking in the dical soup will be good for her wounds."
The old lady looked like a talent hidden among the general population. Her wisdom didn't seem to match her look.
Ease the acupoints?
Jas was impressed by the old lady. He didn't trust her at first because he had rounded the best doctors in B Country.
But seeing Jessica was still alive, Jas beca slightly relaxed.
Jas picked up Jessica and entered the bathroom. What they slt first was pungent dicine. They started sweating crazily.
Inside the room was a big wood bucket with dicine soup that has been boiling for almost five hours. On the surrounding four furnaces were also the dicine that was made according to the old woman's prescription. The most important of all was the old lady turned the temperature in the room above 40 degrees celsius.
The bathroom was like a sauna room closed uptight.
Jas closed the door and tried the temperature of the water in wooden buckets. Then he slowly put her inside it. Jessica humd out of horror because she was suddenly put in hot water.
Jas said, "Don't worry. I'm here."
Jas's firm voice was of considerable comfort to Jessica.
Jessica looked at Jas, and his eyebrows were locked and looked serious.
Jessica wondered if Jas was worried about her.
Jessica felt warm in her heart. She thought about how Jas cried for her. She recalled she once heard the saying that does not miss the man who would cry for you.
Jas squatted in the wooden bucket, and the water was just above her neck. Her hair was floating in the water, making her skin more fresh and tender.
Jas moved his throat and took off her bathrobe. Soon Jessica's body turned red, and her cheek got burning hot. There was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
After settling down, Jas bent over and said next to Jessica's ears, saying, "Do you want my help, or do you want to do it yourself?"
Jessica turned blushed and held her hands against Jas's chest, saying, "You get out of here. I'll take a shower on my own."
Jas smiled and approached her to kiss her cheek, saying, "You're about to marry . Isn't it ti to stop being so shy?"
Jessica turned more blushed. Her cheek was so red. She said, "I didn't say I was gonna marry you."
"Are you gonna take back your own words?" Jas picked up her hand, saying, "You've received my ring. Isn't it a bit late to regret?"
"I thought I was gonna die..." Jessica regretted her decision so much. What kind of proposal was this, she wondered. It was in such a hurry that she didn't have the ti to feel it properly.
Jas stared at Jessica passionately, saying, "We can live every day like it was the last day of our life. I'll spoil you every day like it is the last day we ever live. Then, will you fall in love with ?"
