Nydia originally wanted to say that she couldn’t control such a thing. But upon seeing Jesse’s eyes, there was a hint of madness in his persistence, so she agreed. “Okay, I promise you. Without your permission, I won’t die, and neither will you.”
The last three words made Jesse’s eyes tremble slightly. “You’re not going to promise me?” Nydia asked.
She didn’t expect Jesse to hesitate, what was he thinking?
“I can die. I’m already a lunatic. No one cares whether I’m alive or not.”
Nydia’s anger suddenly surged up. She stood up and sat on him, sternly rebuking him, “Don’t talk nonsense! If you dare to die, I’ll die to show you. Do you want to try?”
In this life, she absolutely would not allow him to die in front of her, absolutely not!
She wanted him to live well and healthy.
“Did you hear me, Jesse!” she said, grabbing his collar one word at a time.
“Is it important for me to live for you?” he didn’t care that she was sitting on him or that she was grabbing his collar. What he cared about was what she said earlier, and the excitement in her emotions just because he said no one cared whether he lived or died.
“Yes! Very important! You can’t die, you have to live!”
Jesse suddenly laughed, then reached out and hugged Nydia into his arms. “Stop fussing, let’s sleep.”
His voice carried a coquettish whisper, soft and mellow.
Nydia was a bit confused. One second she was talking about life and death, and the next second she was being hugged and told to sleep.
She really couldn’t keep up with Jesse’s emotional changes.
But his mood seemed to have improved, at least without that suppressed restlessness and impending madness.
“Be careful with your hand,” she whispered.
“Yeah, I know.” His tone was cheerful, sounding light.
Jesse slept well that night.
Nydia, however, did not sleep well. Her dreams were filled with all sorts of Jesse, and she even got up in the middle of the night to give him shots and medicine.
She also had to prepare some medicine to speed up the healing of his wounds, she didn’t want Jesse’s palms to have too ugly scars. After all, his hands were so beautiful, she tried to make the scars less noticeable.
The next morning, Jesse asked Nydia to help him pick out his outfit.
“The media will come to interview me today.”
After wandering around in the closet for a while, Nydia picked out a silver-grey suit and a black shirt for him.
She hesitated for a moment when picking out the tie. “Do you want a plain tie or a fancy one?”
“You decide.”
When Jesse said this, Nydia showed a mischievous smile, picked out a more fancy striped tie, and tiptoed to tie it for him.
Jesse bent his knees slightly so that Nydia wouldn’t get too tired.
Just as she was about to tie it, Jesse called out, “Nydia.”
As she looked up, Jesse leaned down and kissed her, then she saw him smile tenderly. Nydia felt her heart pounding when she saw this refreshing smile on someone who didn’t smile often. An indescribable feeling spread through her, it was tingling, sour, but also a bit sweet.
“Shall we go see a doctor this Saturday?” She made the request while he was in a good mood.
“Okay.” He agreed, particularly cooperative, making Nydia wonder if he was still sick and suffering from clinginess, like the last time.
During breakfast, she observed Jesse, and noticed that he seemed to have no problem dealing with their two children.
“Have you had any problems at school recently?” He asked.
“No,” Tavish replied.
“Be careful, don’t let your guard down.”
“I know.”
Jesse was worried that Barclay would retaliate and might take it out on their two children since he couldn’t get back at Jesse and Nydia directly.
“Your left hand seems pretty flexible,” Nydia noticed that Jesse had no trouble eating with his left hand.
“Shall I feed you then?” Without waiting for Nydia to refuse, Molly immediately shouted, “Mommy, you should feed Daddy. I saw him miss his mouth several times just now, he’s so pitiful.”
“What?” How come she didn’t notice?
“Mommy, isn’t it the duty of family members to help each other?” Nydia had no choice but to ask Jesse, “Do you want me to feed you?”
“Yes.” He answered without any hesitation.
She had no choice but to feed Jesse while their two children watched.
At first, she felt embarrassed, but gradually she got used to it. She was an emotionless feeding machine.
“You two should go to school now, you’ll be late.”
The two children reluctantly left.
In the car, Molly seemed very happy. “Brother, I don’t think Daddy and Mommy will separate. They have such a good relationship now, we don’t have to worry anymore.”
But Tavish obviously didn’t think so.
“They were good before, but then they still quarreled, right? Daddy’s illness is critical.”
Under normal circumstances, there wouldn’t be any problem, but once he fell ill, they didn’t know what might happen.
“Brother, when I grow up, I want to become a doctor so I can cure Daddy’s illness.”
“Let’s talk about it when you grow up. Daddy’s illness is different. When you grow up, you can do whatever you want to do, don’t do anything just because of someone else,” Tavish just wanted Molly to be happy and do what she wanted to do, instead of being forced to do anything, “No matter what happens, you have me with you!”
Molly nodded with a smile, and took out a jade pendant from her neck. It was a small rabbit.
“I have a jade pendant that brother gave me, and some cookies that my mommy made. You are all protecting me, so I will definitely be happy!” She took out the two items with an innocent and carefree smile.
The cookies were sealed and stored in a small box, which Molly put in her backpack every day.
Tavish touched her head and asked her to put the things away.
He turned his head and took out his phone to take a picture, and Molly asked, “What are you doing, brother?”
“Nothing.”
Molly looked behind her, but didn’t see anything, so she didn’t ask any further.
Nydia went to work at the company.
Last night’s live broadcast was quite successful, and sales had gone up, which made up for some of the losses.
She had given herself a month to make up for the losses, and now there were still about twenty days left. She felt that she could not only make up for the losses, but also make money for the company.
“Nydia,” Willette came to find Nydia, “Walk with me, I’m not feeling very well.”
“Do you want to go to the hospital? You can’t have any problems with your pregnancy.”
“It’s okay, I just feel stuffy, it’s normal. Just accompany me for a walk.”
Nydia accompanied Willette to a nearby park.
“Nydia, I feel useless. I can’t even help Barclay. He’s so stressed out now, and I can’t do anything to help.”
“I don’t have the money, and I don’t have the connections. I feel so useless.”
“Sis, don’t say that. You’re very talented. It’s just that we’re all helpless in this situation. Don’t blame yourself.”
“I’m thirsty. Can you go buy me a cup of milk tea?”
“Okay.”
Nydia went to buy a cup of milk tea and a cup of coffee and came back.
“Nydia, come down here and let’s go look at this.” Willette stood on the lower steps and waved to her.
She walked down.
Suddenly, she was bumped hard and fell towards Willette, who looked at her in shock.
