“We’ll talk about this later.” Jasper Milton didn’t want to promise her anything. “You’ve been sleeping for so long. You should be starving now since you haven’t eaten anything for the whole day.”
It was only then that she remembered that she had missed a couple of meals. However, she didn’t seem to feel hungry either.
Jasper turned around and went out of the room.
She looked at the white ceiling and spaced out for a while. She was wondering how Eli Wayne was doing.
She took out her cell phone and called Allen.
“How is Eli now?” Stella Grace asked worriedly.
“She just cremated her mother, and she is still quite emotional. Sean’s men are monitoring her but they haven’t taken any actions.” Allen said in a low voice.
“Please transfer them to D Country as soon as possible. Sean has an enemy in D Country, so his influence is the weakest there. Relatively speaking, Eli will be safer when she goes there. Moreover, the person behind the scenes has already attempted to assassinate Eli for the second time. He failed again this time. I suspect that there will be a third time soon,” Stella said in a deep voice.
“Okay. I’ll transfer her tomorrow. Are you okay? I don’t think that it’s your fault. You’ve already prepared for everything. You just want her to be happy. I’ve told Eli all of this. I am the one at fault for being incompetent. I’m sorry,” Allen apologized sincerely.
“You’ve tried your best. In fact, it’s my fault. If it wasn’t for Sean, such a thing wouldn’t have happened. I was just under the impression that Sean truly loved her, but I didn’t consider Eli’s feelings and didn’t discuss it with her. I thought I was right and I had made the right decision. You don’t have to comfort me. I know that it’s my fault,” Stella didn’t want to shirk the responsibility.
“Well, after I send her to D Country, I will tell you her address. When the time comes, you can speak to her personally. You two had always been close, so I’m sure that she will forgive you.”
“It’s exactly because of our close relationship that the damage is also amplified. After you send her to D Country, don’t tell me her address. It’s safer that I didn’t know her location,” Stella said apologetically.
“Well, that’s true. Please don’t be too sad. Maybe, this is her fate.”
“I just hope that she will be safe in the future,” Stella saw Jasper coming in from the door. “I’ll hang up first. I’m sorry to trouble you.”
“Don’t worry about it. You might be Grandpa Turner’s granddaughter after all. It’s my duty to help you.” Allen hung up the phone.
Jasper put the food on the bedside table and asked tentatively, “Were you talking to Allen?”
“I asked him to take good care of Eli.” Stella did not deny it.
“Stella, would you rather ask someone else for help instead of me?” Jasper said coldly.
“I have my selfish reasons.”
Jasper paused for a moment and vaguely understood what she meant. He opened the plastic bag and said in a low voice, “You’re not allowed to do that in the future. Your man is not so cowardly and incompetent.”
Stella felt warmth surging through her heart. She reached out and wrapped her arms around Jasper’s waist, leaning her head against his chest. “I don’t think that you are cowardly and incompetent. In my heart, you are the greatest, but I don’t want you to be in any danger.”
Jasper looked at her thin and weak body, and his eyes softened a little. “I am not afraid of danger. I am only afraid that you don’t trust me. We need to balance these two points and come to a mutual agreement.”
“I won’t do that in the future. I’ll tell you everything,” Stella said softly.
Jasper took her hand away. “I’ve heard this before. I don’t know when you’re telling the truth.”
Stella smirked slightly.
Yes, there were too many lies which made her feel that her words meant nothing. She simply stopped talking, looked at the plastic bag, and asked, “What did you buy?”
“You shouldn’t be eating greasy food. So, I bought some sandwiches and soup for you. Please eat more. You’re too thin now.” Jasper said in a low voice and placed the food in front of her.
Stella smiled at him.
He continued looking at her from top to bottom. He didn’t look away at all, seemingly fearing that he wouldn’t be able to see her again. “Were you around 60 kg when you went to Avril’s birthday party?”
“I think so,” At that time, she had just stopped taking her medication. She was still quite chubby then.
“I thought you looked great at that time. Now you’re thin. Perhaps, too thin.” Jasper said.
“Mm.” Stella responded and lowered her head to eat.
Jasper scooped a spoonful of soup, blew on it and motioned for Stella to take a sip.
Stella’s eyes were a little teary.
He had always been nice to her. Even though he had said unpleasant things to her, he still treated her well.
How lucky was she to be loved by Jasper!
She sniffled and held back her tears. She looked at Jasper and said, “I can’t eat so much alone. Let’s eat together.”
Jasper took some food and ate it quietly. “I had bought that villa not too long ago. You could live there if you want.”
“I think it’s a little far and inconvenient for Dante and Ralph to go to school. The house that was set on fire last time, wasn’t it? Has it been renovated yet?” Stella asked.
Jasper glanced at her casually. “You won’t be living with Dante and Ralph.”
“Huh?” Stella’s heart skipped a beat.
Jasper frowned. “You should take care of yourself first. Once you’re fine, you could then take care of the children.”
“I will take good care of myself in the future, and I will take care of you all too. I swear,” Stella said anxiously.
“Dante is abroad and he won’t be coming back anytime soon. Do you want to compete with Bettany to take care of Ralph?”
“Well, when will Dante be back then? Such poor thing, he’s all alone abroad without anyone to accompany him. The medical industry in the country is also very developed, isn’t it?” She wanted to see Dante.
“I’ve hired Dante’s adoptive parents to take care of him. He will not feel lonely. They are the ones he wants to see and the people whom he is most familiar with. Your task now is to recover completely,” Jasper said in a low voice.
She thought that Jasper did not want her to see Dante on purpose.
“Dante’s condition is very serious, isn’t it?” Stella asked worriedly.
“Don’t worry. He should be able to live for another three years. It’s enough time for you to have three more children.”
Judging by his firm tone, he didn’t seem to be lying. Stella then continued eating.
Jasper scooped another spoonful of soup for her, “If you feel bored, you can come over and be my assistant.”
“Assistant? I don’t know much about that. I haven’t done it before.”
“I think you’ve done well when you were negotiating with Aneira back then. Besides, I won’t let you do too many things. At most, you’ll be in charge of answering the phone in the office and releasing some announcements for me. Sometimes, you’ll have to organize some meetings and occasionally join me in some social activities. I won’t let you drink. You just have to take me back home if I get drunk,” Jasper said in a low voice.
Stella lowered her head and did not speak.
Jasper put down his fork and said, “Or, we could just get married immediately. You could be a housewife and be in charge of the household chores like cooking and cleaning up. That seems more suitable for you.”
