Chapter 177
Jay had successfully triggered his digestive disorders in the middle of the night.
His stomach hurt so badly that he found it impossible to fall asleep. He had no choice but to go downstairs to look for his medicine. He ended up stumbling on the stairs, causing Rose to wake with a start when she heard the loud noise.
Rose walked out with a coat draped over her shoulders. When she saw Jay sitting on the stairs holding his stomach, she knew instantly that he was having a relapse.
She ran over quickly and tried to carry Jay back to his room, but Jay was six foot two and had no strength to support himself at the moment. Rose could not move him at all.
She had no choice but to run downstairs. After finding his medicine, she poured him a glass of warm water and returned to his side. She fed him the medicine personally.
"What nonsense are you trying to give me?" Although Jay was already in so much pain that he could hardly even move, his extraordinary willpower helped him to stay clear-headed. Rose said without hesitating, "This is the medicine for your stomach! Magnesium aluminum carbonate tablet
and Omeprazole!"
A touch of surprise shot out of Jay's falcon eyes. There was a variety of stomach medicine in the medicine box, so how did she know that he took only two types for acid reflux and gastric mucosa instead of domperidone that would enhance gastric motility?
He was intolerant to domperidone and would throw up every time he took it.
Jay's bright and sparkling eyes widened abruptly. He was surprised when he noticed the unconcealable anxiety and worry in Rose's eyes.
He had almost always pulled a long face at her, and she would always retaliate with bitter words under his repeated attempts to hurt her.
He thought that she hated him deep down in her heart!
"I want domperidone," he said weakly.
He just could not control the burning desire to test her!
How could Rose possibly know that Jay was testing her? Her emotions were on full display, raw and natural.
"We don't have domperidone." She brushed him off.
Worried that he had become disoriented by his illness, which would explain why he was trying to take a medicine that he was intolerant to, Rose forced him to consume the magnesium-aluminum carbonate tablet and Omeprazole...
Jay stared powerlessly at this disobedient woman. After consuming the stomach medicine, perhaps it was because the pain had subsided, he slowly clambered to his feet but still staggered. He almost stumbled because his body was too weak. Rose had no choice but to lend him a hand.
"Let me help you upstairs, Sir Ares!"
Jay did not refuse her this time.
Rose knew he did not like to touch her, hence she supported his arm very carefully. Her actions, however, did not seem to be offering the patient any support at all.
Jay snapped. "Is this how you support a patient?"
Rose pulled his hand over the back of her neck, allowing his entire body to prop up against her back. She dragged him upstairs with a Herculean effort.
When she was finally able to put Jay to bed, he had fallen asleep and was even snoring.
Rose took off his shoes, socks, coat... She then covered him with a blanket carefully.
Rose was so exhausted that she was panting continuously.
She stared at the man who was fast asleep, her gaze sweeping across his eyes and brows. His brows were furrowed probably because his stomach was still hurting. Rose hissed in exasperation. "Serve you right. Why did you eat the noodles when you know that you have digestive issues! With spices too! Who does that?" She then switched off the lights and tiptoed away.
In the dark of night, Jay suddenly opened up his pair o f eagle-like sharp eyes!
'What sort of secrets are you hiding exactly, Rose?'
The next day, Jay woke up early.
Rose was still in bed because she did not get enough rest last night.
When the munchkins came downstairs, they saw Jay making breakfast for them in the kitchen.
"Isn't Mommy the one who always makes breakfast, Daddy?" Jenson stood at the kitchen door, looking extremely curious.
Jay paused in his actions, wondering if she could even wake up.
