Stella Grace knew the way to help a mental patient heal quickly was to block all of their most painful memories, as well as all the memories which could potentially cause them pain in the future.
As a gifted scholar, she had spent three years researching this. Through continuous effort and examples, she became one of the top ten experts in this field.
It was highly possible that people started developing mental illnesses in the first place because these painful memories had consumed them entirely.
The patient’s families would, out of immense love for them, hope that the patient could forget their painful recollections and live a normal life again.
But if the patients themselves were not willing to overcome this…
Jasper quickened his speed. When she heard his grunt, she knew that he had climaxed.
She quickly wiped her tears dry.
Jasper kissed her forehead and eyes. After tasting the salty taste of her tears, he looked at her worriedly.
Her eyes were still slightly bloodshot.
“Why are you crying? Did I hurt you?” Jasper Milton asked worriedly.
Stella shook her head. “No, it feels very good.”
“You’re crying even though it feels good?” Jasper could not believe it. “Let me take a look.”
He lowered his head, and Stella felt shy all of a sudden. She dodged his hand and wrapped her hands around her ankle. “Why would I lie to you? Can’t you feel it?”
Jasper’s face was full of emotion because of his desire. He sat next to her and rubbed her eyes gently with his thumb and fingers. “Then what are you crying for?”
Stella did not want to tell him that she had cried because there was no future between them.
She lowered her eyes and whispered, “It’s too good.”
He looked at her bashful expression and finally believed her. The corners of his mouth lifted up slightly. “So you are saying that it wasn’t pleasurable before this?”
“That’s not what I meant,” Stella lowered her head as she quipped.
Jasper picked her up.
She unconsciously grabbed his arm to steady herself.
“Take a shower first, and then tell me what you want me to do!” Jasper said domineeringly, and dumped her into the bathtub.
She had already planned to tell him when she offered herself to him.
Jasper got the warm water flowing for her.
She stared at him. “I have a friend named Eli. You know her, don’t you?”
“I know, you care about her very much.”
“She was kidnapped by Sean. I want to rescue her and send her abroad,” Stella said.
Jasper looked at Stella in surprise. “Why did Sean kidnap her? Do they have anything to do with each other?”
“They were classmates during elementary school and junior high school. At that time, Sean’s father wasn’t the President yet. He was just a State Mayor. And Eli’s father was already the Vice-Director or the Dean of the hospital, wasn’t he?”
Therefore, it was normal for Sean to study in the same school as she did. Later on, Sean’s father got promoted to higher positions, and he eventually became the President. After that happened, they did not contact each other anymore.
It was until three years ago, when Sean organized a blind date. Eli and I went, and you were there too,” Stella recalled.
“I was?” Jasper was a little shocked.
With some parts of his memory missing, he seemed to have missed out on a lot of beautiful memories.
“Because of some unexpected events, Eli and Sean ended up sleeping with each other. I don’t know what Sean was thinking, but it seemed like he wanted to keep Eli as part of his harem. Eli rejected him, so he kidnapped her. If I’m not wrong, Eli is carrying Sean’s child,” she whispered.
“You mean Eli is having Sean’s child?”
“I’m not sure. It was Frederick who told me.” Stella had a bad feeling in her heart and she suddenly grew nervous. “Is Frederick trying to use me to frame you again?”
Jasper’s eyes darkened. “Stella, I promise that I will rescue Eli within a month. I will be careful. I was framed the last time not because of you, but because I was too careless. Don’t blame yourself.”
How could she not blame herself?
If it weren’t for Jasper’s trust in her, he wouldn’t have investigated any further.
The reason why Jasper had said so was so that she wouldn’t feel guilty anymore.
However, everything was clear as day to her.
She would become very paranoid and stubborn whenever she was emotionally overwhelmed or when she cared too much about a certain matter.
“You must save Eli within three months.”
Since Eli was pregnant, Sean should not hurt her for the time being.
She must abort the baby within three months, otherwise, Eli’s body would be severely affected.
“Okay.” Jasper responded. He then proceeded to take a bath.
Stella followed suit.
Without a word, the atmosphere became amorous once again.
She looked at him, and Jasper returned her gaze.
After he finished washing, he wrapped his waist with a bath towel and squatted down in front of Stella. He said softly, “When are you going to marry me?”
“Hmm?” Stella hadn’t expected him to suddenly say this. Her heart was pounding so fast that it seemed that it was about to jump out of her throat.
The corners of his mouth lifted up in a half-smile. “Are we going to marry again after getting divorced so suddenly? Haha.”
Stella looked at his smile and her eyes darkened.
The more he smiled, the gloomier she became.
However, she had to say what needed to be said, even though it might be cruel.
After all, she could not be with him for a long time. Without Frederick’s antidote, she would die soon. She still had a lot of things to do.
“Chief, you are thinking too much. This is just a deal between you and me.”
Jasper’s smile disappeared and he looked at her determined eyes. His gaze was deep and he did not speak.
Stella also felt that the word “deal” was too hurtful. She turned her face away, stood up, picked up the bath towel on the shelf, and wrapped her body with her back to him.
Jasper hugged her from behind, his chest pressed against her back.
“I don’t know why you would always reject me like this, and you don’t hesitate to use these knife-like words to hurt the feelings between us.
But I believe that you have me in your heart, so I will wait for you to let down your guard and tell me everything.
Stella, no matter what you look like, even if you’re old, ugly, and crazy,
I will always love you. Even if one day, you became my burden, I am willing to carry you on my back and spend the rest of our lives together. You are not bringing trouble to me, you’re actually being partners with me,” Jasper said affectionately.
Stella’s tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably.
This was the most beautiful sentence she had ever heard in her life. Even though she was crying, there was still a feeling in her heart that touched the deepest part of her soul.
She thought that the fact she was crying now must be because the Stella deep in her heart had heard these words, right?
Although she was sad and moved by him, she was still not ready to go all out, because she knew that when she did that, she would be facing death’s door that would separate them.
She couldn’t accept it.
Stella wiped her tears handsomely and turned to look at Jasper. “I’m going back.”
“Don’t go.” Jasper frowned and pleaded.
She saw the deep affection in his eyes. It was a kind of poison that could be absorbed by her eyes. If she kept staring at his eyes, she would unconsciously sink into it, and then… it would be incurable.
