novelxo Chapter 257
A voice that was sexier than a news anchor. Rose could recognize the man from his voice, and she turned around in shock before staring blankly at Jay who had appeared out of nowhere. "Sir Ares?" Her shocked eyes were as wide as big bells, looking at him in disbelief. "Why are you here?"
Jay stood still in front of her. Only a day had passed, and she was now thin and haggard in front of him. Her pair of chubby and cheerful cheeks had thinned a lot.
His heart ached.
Jay's gaze shifted to Old Master Severe who was lying on the bed. His memory of an energetic and spirited old man had been replaced with one of a man that had no energy left in his muscles and was suffering from endless depression.
"You want to save him?" Jay looked at Rose.
Rose nodded.
Uneasiness filled her heart. Jay was a man with meticulous thoughts. If he decided to probe further and ask as to why she wanted to save Old Master Severe, how was she going to answer him? "Rose, marry me, and I'll save him," Jay solemnly announced as he looked at the determination in her
eyes.
He did not want to take advantage of her when she was in trouble. However, he was a businessman, and he knew that a missed opportunity would never return.
He did not have the courage to go through losing her again.
Rose stared at him.
She did not understand why he would make such an offer when he hated her so much?
What was the meaning of marriage to him?
She understood that businessmen were always on the lookout for profits. What profit would he gain from marrying her?
The doctor looked at Jay and chuckled.
"Mister, Old Master Severe's illness is an unresolved mystery for the medical fraternity. You don't look like someone who lacks money, but I have to remind you that life and health are two things money can't buy."
Jay's cold gaze swept across the doctor's face. "You're right. That's why no other place has a chance of creating a miracle for Old Master Severe's condition other than Grand Asia Medical Center."
The doctor was taken aback. "You are?"
Jay looked at him and said casually, "Jay Ares."
The doctor stumbled in shock and appeared bashful as he said fearfully, "You're Grand Asia's President!
Please forgive my ignorance!"
The doctor said to Rose with raised brows, "Miss, this is your last chance to save Old Master Severe. Don't miss out on this great opportunity!" The doctor then left hurriedly.
Jay and Rose continued to stand in the room as they looked at each other. Rose's mind was a mess.
All of a sudden, a crisp voice interrupted her thoughts, 'Angel, look for Jay... he is the only person that can help you... save Severe Enterprise!'
Rose nodded her head. "Okay, I agree to your terms."
Regardless, she had to try? Right?
Jay's nervous and distressed heart finally found peace.
She was finally going to become his bride once again!
This time, he was not going to disappoint her.
"Let's go back to Imperial Capital first. I will get someone to arrange the transfer for Old Master Severe."
Rose nodded.
She glanced a few more times at Old Master Severe before slowly reluctantly leaving the room.
In the corridor, a trolley filled with medical equipment was heading their way, but Rose was walking without concentrating and did not realize the impending danger ahead.
Jay who was behind her dashed forward and grabbed her in the nick of time. Consequently, Rose was jolted awake. Not to mention, by the time she was in his safe embrace, she realized that she had nearly walked into the trolley of medical equipment...
Flustered, she left Jay's embrace and said, "Thank you!"
