Chapter 768: The Eve of a Bloody Storm
Since Cyrus’ arrival in J City, it has been almost a month. It's not just her. Everyone is be inconvenienced.
Although Jasmine met Pehry after class every day for the past half month, the frequency of their meeting was not high. Even if
they met, they had to be apart in a short while.
Now that Cyrus goes home and rest, she finally has some private times.
Just as Jasmine returns to the hospital to pack her things, Bridget suddenly calls her. "Jasmine, are you back in the ward now?"
"Yes. I'm packing the things." As Jasmine speaks, she puts the cup into the bag she always carries.
"Open the drawer and there's a bank card under the book."
"A bank card?" Jasmine frowns and finds a blue bank card under a small notebook as what Bridge said. "What is this...?"
"This is the money that I raised with your father these past few days. There are 70,000 yuan in it. I know it is not enough to pay
off the medical expenses that Mr. Pehry paid. But at present, we have done our best. Your father and I will make up for it as soon
as possible." Bridget deliberately tells her now.
Bridget knows that if she tells Jasmine face to face, Jasmine will definitely try to persuade them to keep the money.
However, as her parents, Bridget and Cyrus don't want to put Jasmine in humble state if front of others.
Jasmine is very clear about what Bridget is thinking since Bridget is her mother. Jasmine's eyes immediately turn red with tears.
"Mom, you don't need to pay off in a hurry. Dad has just been discharged from hospital and he needs money to buy more
nutritious food. You..."
"It's fine! Your father and I are used to it. Besides, I won't let him suffer. I know what to do. Give the money to Mr. Pehry first.
Don't delay, okay?" Bridget warns Jasmine, afraid that Jasmine won't do what she said.
Jasmine can only agree, "I see. I will transfer the money to Pe ... to Mr. Pehry in two days."
She almost blurts out Pehry's name directly.
Fortunately, she stops in time. Otherwise, Bridget will think too much about it.
"You have to take good care of yourself. You should rest for a few days. Don't do part-time jobs so early."
"OK, Mom."
After hanging up the phone, Jasmine sit down beside the hospital bed and looks down at the bank card in her hand. She has mix
feelings.
The last thing she wants is that her family live in a situation of scarcity to save money. However, she needs money because she
is still a student.
If she wants to earn money, she can only do part-time jobs, or even do a few part-time jobs in her spare time. She is unable to
get the high-quality jobs. She can only ensure her basic living needs, and tries to save money and earn money by taking part-
time jobs.
However, the little money she has saved is simply a drop in the bucket in front of the illness.
Now, Bridget is in such a hurry to pay back the money. Although Jasmine knows the reason, she can't bear it.
She really wants to tell her parents that Pehry is her boyfriend. Their relationship is not complicated, nor is it for money or any
external factors. They are together only because they love each other.
But she can't.
She knows how conservative Bridget and Cyrus are, so she can only hide it from them.
In the afternoon, Jasmine goes to the bank. She knows Pehry's bank card number and transfers the money to his account.
Just right after she finishes transferring the money, Pehry calls her.
She answers the phone and put it next to her ear. She doesn't hide anything from him and says honestly, "Have you received it?"
"Is your family in a hurry to pay me back?"
"Yes."
For a moment, Pehry doesn't know what to say. He is a little unhappy. But that is her parents' idea and he can't say anything.
Even Jasmine can't stop her parents.
After a few seconds, Pehry says, "There's no need to pay me back the rest of the money."
"I know you're not anxious, but my parents are." Jasmine also feels a little helpless. "They never borrowed money from others
before, so whenever they are in debt, they feel uneasy.
Pehry has seen someone who owed money but refused to pay back, but he has never seen someone who is in a hurry to pay
back.
His girlfriend's parents are not mammonists. Pehry doesn't know whether he should be happy or sad.
"Are you going to have class this afternoon?" Pehry changes the topic.
Jasmine says, "I'm not going. I want to rest this afternoon. I'm a little tired these days."
She spent most of the time on the hospital and classes in the past few days. The only free time was also devoted to Pehry.
Recently, her face was a little swollen because of lack of sleep, and she almost fell asleep in class several times.
"Go back to my place," Pehry says as he glanced at the assistant standing beside him. He says to the assistant, "Send a car to
the hospital to pick Jasmine up."
"Yes, Mr. Pehry."
Jasmine listens to the conversation between them and immediately says, "No, no need. I'll just go back to school."
"Is that broken wooden bed at school comfortable for you to sleep on?" Pehry doesn't give her any room to refuse. "We're in this
relationship, so don't refuse me. I won't go back, and you can sleep well yourself."
Jasmine retorts in a low voice, "I didn't say anything about you...."
"I know. I'm afraid you'll think too much."
"Are you coming back tonight?"
"Yes, I'll finish my work early and come to you. Wait for me at home obediently. Don't worry about dinner. I'll ask the chef go back
and cook."
Jasmine nods. She softens in his considerate words. "I see."
The driver quickly arrives at the hospital and helps her lift the bags of things out of the ward. And then he drives directly towards
Pehry's villa. On the way, Jasmine is sleepy and she almost can't keep her eyes open. If it weren't for the presence of someone,
she would have fallen asleep long ago.
When the car arrives at the entrance of the villa, Jasmine seems to see the dawn of victory. She hurriedly walks to the gate to
open it with password.
...
She walks in and asks the driver to put her things at the door. After that, she goes to the master bedroom on the second floor.
She has been to Pehry's house before and is very familiar with it. After taking a quick shower, she puts on her spare pajamas
and immediately goes to the bed.
She is too tired as if her joints had been nailed up. It has been a long time since she had slept in the soft bed beneath her.
The bed in the hospital is very narrow, and the bed in her aunt's house is especially hard. Now that she lies on a soft bad, she
feels like she is lying on a pile of cotton.
She doesn't need time to fall asleep. She falls asleep in less than half a minute after closing her eyes.
However, she never expects that she will face a bloody storm when she wakes up.
