Davis was drunk last night and was confused about whether he had sex with Jenny.
Now that Davis heard that Jenny had AIDS, he jumped up in shock to check his body. Seeing the dirty bed, his heart sank.
Davis quickly found his clothes, hurriedly put them on, and quickly called 120 to send Jenny to the hospital.
“Davis, how could my daughter have this kind of disease for no reason? You must be carrying the virus!”
Seeing Davis leaving the hospital, Mrs. Bullocks pulled his arm.
At first, Davis respected Mrs. Bullocks as an elder person, so he didn’t fight back when she slapped him. But he didn’t want to let the second slap go.
Davis was wasted last night and didn’t ask for any women for company. Jenny climbed onto his bed for no reason and ruined his reputation. He had not even settled the score with her! How could Mrs. Bullocks slap him?
“Mrs. Bullocks, each Bullocks’ woman is awful!”
Anna was always crazy. If it weren’t for bonding with her family, Davis wouldn’t have even looked at a lunatic like Anna.
Jenny was even more hateful. She was selfish and self-centered. She usually treated Davis with terrible manners. If it weren’t for her, who made a fuss at his old man’s birthday party, the Marshall Group wouldn’t have been doomed.
The more Davis thought about it, the angrier he became. When Mrs. Bullocks grabbed his arm again, he raised his arm and shook her off.
“Davis, you are a monster. You have harmed my daughter. How dare you insult my family? You can’t leave before you give me a proper explanation!”
“Take care of yourself first. Jenny has AIDS. I strongly suggest that you should run an examination as well.”
Mrs. Bullocks’ face turned pale. She let go of Davis in fright and quickly turned to run the test.
Davis was also a little flustered, secretly praying that he did not sleep with Jenny last night.
The more Davis thought about it, the more he panicked. AIDS was a big deal. He also followed Mrs. Bullocks to run the test.
In Will’s office.
When Nolan reported Davis’ situation to James, James had just taken his medicine. Propping up his forehead, James’ face looked grimmer than yesterday.
After the morning meeting, Will came back to check on James, making sure that the poison in his body had been cleared.
However, James had not eaten much for the past few days, so he looked worse and worse.
“James, you should at least eat some,” Will advised worriedly.
“I see.”
James was never a talkative person. Now that he was in a bad mood, he spoke even less.
James felt hungry, but he vomited everything he ate. He could do nothing about it.
James glanced at Will and knew that Will was worried about James. James drank some water to relieve his hunger.
Will felt helpless.
Having pinched the space between his eyebrows, Will had no idea what to do as well.
As the saying went, medicine was useless in the face of emotional damage. If Will wanted James to eat, he would have to start with Kara.
In Kara’s ward, Kara had just had breakfast and was lying on the sofa, enjoying the sun.
Kara stared out of the window with her big eyes. It was unknown what she was looking at. Her eyes were dull, having lost the brightness she used to have.
“Kara, how do you feel?”
When Will entered Kara’s ward, he revealed a gentle smile. He brought a group of experts with him to run a basic physical examination for Kara.
“Uncle Will, I eat well, drink well, and sleep well. Does it count as being well?” Kara joked.
Will pursed his lips and crooked his finger at her, indicating for her to lie down.
“Uncle Will, why do I suddenly feel that you are more handsome than before?” Kara lay down and blinked her big eyes at him playfully.
Will used the stethoscope to listen to Kara’s heartbeats. When he heard her words, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
“Why do you think so?”
“Because you’re being nice to me.”
Will was always gentle to Kara, and every time Will advised her to take medicine and examined her, he would show a gentle smile, making Kara feel warm.
Will was like an elder brother to Kara.
Will paused. The only reason why Will treated Kara well was that she was James’ wife.
Besides, the one who was being nicer was James. It was just that Kara had her doubts all the time and didn’t have the guts to face James.
“I am very honored that you have discovered my merits.”
Will answered, then chatted with Kara, trying to make her less vigilant. He then asked questions from time to time, and Kara answered them honestly.
An hour later, the ward quieted down again. Kara was still lying on the sofa and looking out the window with her eyes narrowed.
The sun was slanted to the west, shining on Kara’s body. The temperature was a bit high.
It was the transition period between summer and autumn. The temperature gap between mornings and nights was relatively large.
The morning was cool, so Kara didn’t feel hot when she lay under the sun with her coat.
But at noon, the temperature rose. Thus, Kara felt the heat of the sun on her body.
Kara stared blankly at the sunlight that expanded inch by inch on her body. She reached out and grabbed, but she could only grab some dust that floated in the air.
No one knew what Kara had thought of. She opened her five fingers and let her palm face the sunlight. A bright smile bloomed on her face.
James, who was standing at the door, saw Kara awkwardly grabbing the sunlight while sitting on the sofa.
Kara was like a little kitten who was tired of playing with wool balls, yet attracted by the sunlight. She was stretching out her paws with her big eyes narrowed.
But in fact, Kara did not catch anything.
James put his hands in his pockets and stared at her calmly. After quite some time, James turned around and left.
Kara felt someone staring at him. She was puzzled and turned to look at the door, but nobody was there.
Kara furrowed her brows. She already guessed the person standing outside the door, but she still did not want to face it.
When Kara was awake, James was worried that she might lose control, so he could only visit her secretly in the daytime.
Only late at night when Kara fell asleep did James walk into her ward.
Kara kept moving frequently in her sleep. In the past, she liked to move around in James’ arms. Now that she slept alone, Kara even lifted the quilt and put it aside so that her body balled because of the cold.
James went to close the window, turned on the air conditioner again, and came to the bedside.
Seeing that Kara looked much better, James wanted to reach out and rub her little head. But James was afraid that he might wake her up, so he clenched his fingers and retracted his hand.
“Little fool, aren’t you gonna dodge me for good?”
Kara, who was curled up into a ball, rolled over to wrap herself up with the quilt.
James sighed.
James ground his teeth and lowered his head to touch Kara’s lips.
Jamya came to see Kara the next day and sent the breakfast James brought to the ward.
“Mr. James, aren’t you going to go in and visit Kara?” Jamya asked when she entered the ward.
James glanced at the ward and shook his head. “She doesn’t like to take medicine and will try to refuse to take it. However, if you scold her a bit, she will listen to you. I’m sorry to trouble you,” he said.
Jamya sighed as she watched James turn around and leave.
Jamya carried breakfast into the ward and saw Kara staring blankly at the ceiling. Jamya lifted the quilt.
“Lazy girl, time to get up.”
Only then did Kara’s expression change. She pouted her pink lips and glared at Jamya angrily.
“Jamya, I am sick now. Can’t you be gentler?”
Jamya sneered, “Gentler? Can being gentler add a few more cents to my bank card?”
Kara covered her face sadly. “Jamya, I’m even less worthy than a few cents. Your analogy is too hurtful.”
“Don’t act like a spoiled child. Get up to take your medicine and eat breakfast.”
Kara pursed her lips and got up to wash up. When she came to the dining table, she saw the breakfast that Jamya had prepared for her. There was also a cup of warm water beside the breakfast.
Kara smiled. She knew that Jamya was only joking. Jamya actually loved Kara.
“Jamya, you must be the most beautiful and considerate friend in this world,” Kara said as she turned around and kissed Jamya.
Jamya was dumbfounded.
