Let's Get Married

Chapter 709: She Takes Care of Him at Night

Tony is silent for a long time before he speaks again, "Mr. Pehry, I know what you mean. I'm not the one who has the final say on the new project. I'll wait for you to recover before we discuss it again."

Pehry doesn't force him. He understands that "Rome was not built in a day". So, he gives Tony time to give the project a little thought. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

"Alright, I'll wait for you too."

After hanging up the phone, Pehry looks up at Jasmine beside him. But Jasmine is also looking at him in a questioning way.

Pehry is stunned and asks breezily, "What's wrong?"

Jasmine stares at him with her heart full of mixed emotions. Then she hesitates to say, "You..."

"Just say what you want to. I won't do anything to you now that I'm injured."

"Well..."

Indeed.

Jasmine takes a deep breath and asks him in confusion, "Do you know the man, with whom you talked on the phone?"

"I didn't know him before."

"But you told him that you'll discuss the project with him face to face."

"Yep." Pehry nods without any concealment and explains to her, "He just happens to have a project that I won't allow anyone to take over it. And I'd like to teach him a lesson with this project."

Originally, Pehry is thinking about how to make trouble for Tony. After all, they are all businessmen. And Pehry can't do that on the surface. However, this project gives him a chance.

But Jasmine cannot understand why Pehry will negotiate with Tony relying on his serious injury. In her opinion, Pehry doesn't feel good and has no mind to do anything due to such an injury.

Doesn't he feel aggrieved? Anyway, how outgoing Pehry is!

Jasmine's face is filled with puzzlement and confusion. And Pehry sees that clearly. He is neither imposing his thoughts on her nor willing her to misunderstand him.

So, Pehry says seriously, "It is like this in the adults' world. Since I'm injured, why don't I maximize my benefits and get what I want through my injury? Otherwise, I will suffer it for nothing."

Jasmine lowers her head and clasps her hands together tightly on her knees, "But I just feel that what that man did is wrong..."

Pehry chuckles, "At your age, I also only pay attention to right and wrong. But when you grow up, you'll understand."

Jasmine shuts up after she hears what Pehry says. She thinks that Pehry seems to be different from before when he has contact with her. He isn't as irresponsible as she has imagined. When he gets serious, he is certainly capable.

The car soon arrives at Pehry's villa. Though it is the second time Jasmine comes here, she is still very nervous.

Sensing her tension, Pehry orders the driver before getting off, "Stay here. Then you drive Jasmine home."

"Yes, Mr. Pehry."

Jasmine secretly heaves a sigh of relief when she hears this. Then she guesses that maybe Pehry won't act like a rascal as unreasonably as last time.

Jasmine follows Pehry to enter the villa. Pehry does not behave as weak as before. After all, he is satisfied with the fact that Jasmine comes with him.

"Help yourself."

After that, Pehry goes upstairs.

Jasmine is worried and follows behind him, "What will you do with the wounds on your back? Don't you say that you have medicine at home? Where is the medical kit?"

Pehry doesn't feel the slightest bit impatient when he hears what Jasmine says continuously behind him. Instead, he is completely comfortable. Only when he enters the bedroom does he remind her, "This is my bedroom."

Jasmine looks around and takes a bite of her saliva, "I see. Give me the medical kit. I'll help you apply some medicine then leave."

Pehry nods and walks to the cabinet. He takes out a silver medical kit and hands it to Jasmine, "Here you are."

After Jasmine opens it, she discovers that all the medicines inside are completely unlabeled. They are only printed with the usage and effects. The information about the manufacturers and other permits are not given.

"They're unqualified products, do you know?"

Pehry is shocked, then he says with his beautiful eyes full of smile, "I'm sure that Karl will get furious if he hears what you say."

Jasmine frowns, "I'm not joking with you."

"Don't worry, these medicines are specially developed by Karl's Hospital. They're not for sale. The reason why I don't apply the medicine bought in other hospitals is that it is not as good as those. This ointment in this medical kit has great effects. And I won't have any scars after I get recovered." Then Pehry says to Jasmine teasingly, "Can you help me apply this ointment now?"

Jasmine doesn't reply him but takes that ointment in her hand and points to the bed, "Get down."

Pehry obediently does what Jasmine says and exposes his entire back, "Please be gentle, I'm afraid of pain."

Jasmine curls her lips. Then she disinfects her hands, and carefully applies the white cream on Pehry's wounds with a cotton swab.

When she reaches the wound on his waist, Pehry shouts immediately, "Oh, it hurts, be gentle..."

Jasmine gets startled. She thinks that she is exerting too much force and quickly pulls her hand back "Are you hurt?"

"Yes. Is it a wound?"

"Uh-huh, just hold it. I'm already very gentle."

Hearing her nervous tone, Pehry shows a wicked smile, "OK, I trust you. Please be gentler." But Jasmine doesn't see that.

Jasmine stretches out her hand again to apply medicine to him. She touches his wounds extremely gently with a cotton swab. Then Jasmine repeats it a few times before she finishes applying medicine on a single wound.

But even so, Pehry still cries out for pain from time to time. And every time Jasmine hears Pehry's cry, she will have her heart in her mouth.

After Jasmine applies medicine to all Pehry's wounds, she heaves a long sigh of relief. Her arms get sore. "Don't get up now. Wait until the ointment is completely absorbed."

As Jasmine speaks, she reaches out and fans with a cardboard slowly upon his back. This way, the ointment will be absorbed quickly.

Pehry has never felt that being injured is so enjoyable. Now he accepts Jasmine's care in peace.

In the end, Pehry is still a little disappointed that Jasmine attaches Band-Aids to his wounds. Then his wounds are prevented to contact with the air, and he himself won't get infected.

Alas, it's over.

It is almost eleven o'clock when Pehry changes into his pajamas. He looks at Jasmine who is sitting on the sofa straightly. Then he says, "I'll have the driver to take you back. I don't think I'll be able to come for you in the next few days. But I will visit you when I recover."

Jasmine says hesitantly, looking at Pehry, "I'll stay for a while longer. I'll leave when you fall asleep."

Hearing her request to stay, Pehry is so surprised that he begins to suspect, "Jasmine, you're very abnormal today."

Normally, Jasmine will be cold and keeps away from him. But she's quite different today.

"..."

Hearing this, Jasmine falls silent. How bad is she to Pehry that he has such a guess?

"I searches online and it is said that people with wounds may have a fever at night. If you do so, you have to go to the hospital."

After Pehry hears this, he laughs, "You cherish me so much."

He can't wait for her to stay, but... Pehry glances at the driver waiting outside through the window and says, "If you don't go now, then you can't go if the driver leaves."
