Pehry snorts. Of course he knows that he is talking nonsense. Jasmine can't wait to stay away from
him, so she will by no means be disappointed.
From birth until now, he has never been disliked by any woman! However, when being with Jasmine,
he finally knows how it feels like.
Seeing her stiffen with nervousness, he waves his hand disdainfully. "Alright. I'll sleep in this big room,
and you can use the smaller one, OK?"
"OK." After all, the smaller room is big enough for Jasmine. Also, she has to obey Pehry since he is the
one who pays the money.
After saying that, Pehry ignores her and turns around, going straight into his room. Actually, he wants
to stay with her for a little longer, but he can't bear to see her distrustful look.
Not long after, Jasmine hears the sound of running water from the bathroom. She fixes her eyes on the
bathroom door, which only has frosted glasses. At the thought that a man is taking a hot bath inside it,
she can't help but feel embarrassed.
She feels that she'd better not take a bath tonight. Looking at her watch, she finds it's already close to
midnight. There are only six hours left before dawn, which means tonight will soon pass.
Thinking of this, she finally feels a little relieved.
After returning to her room, Jasmine doesn't turn off the lights. Since she has worn pajamas, she
quickly gets into the quilt as soon as she takes off her coat. This saves her the trouble of changing
clothes.
The moment her head touches the pillow, she just wants to have a good sleep, for the bed in this high-
end hotel is too comfortable. She even has the illusion that she is lying on a soft cloud.
She closes her eyes and decides to forget about all her worries for the time being. At least she can
have a good sleep tonight.
...
After Pehry finishes taking the shower, he is a little thirsty from the hot steam in the bathroom. He takes
out a bottle of mineral water and feels slightly better after drinking a few mouthfuls.
He turns to look at the room where Jasmine is sleeping. From this angle, he can only see the end of
the bed. After pausing for a few seconds, he walks over.
The lights in her room are off, and only a glint of light from the living room can be seen. Pehry tiptoes to
the bedside. Jasmine curls up on one side of the big bed, as if someone has forced her to do this. He
wonders if she deliberately lefts the other side of the bed for him.
Pehry doesn't know if she has such an intention, but he thinks it's a bit wasteful for her to occupy such
a small space on this big bed.
He intends to go back after taking a glance at her. However, he changes his mind when seeing her and
directly lies on the bed wearing a bathrobe.
Jasmine sleeps so soundly that she doesn't notice him lying beside her.
Seeing this, Pehry becomes bolder. After gently putting his hand on the back of her head, he pulls her
into his arms.
Jasmine seems to feel that her position is changed, and she rubs her head against his chest
subconsciously. Holding his breath, Pehry wonders how to explain to her after she wakes up. However,
the soft body in his arms suddenly stops moving.
Fortunately, she doesn't wake up.
He heaves a sigh of relief.
Then he pulls the quilt over and covers the two of them. After his eyes gradually adjust to the darkness,
he can clearly see her beautiful sleeping face.
When she is awake, she never shows any friendliness to him. Therefore, he thinks she looks more
pleasing and adorable when she is sleeping.
When she smiles, her eyes are like curved crescent moons. Pehry doesn't know this before. After all,
she only wears an unhappy look when facing him.
Back then, he happened to see her with her classmate. They walked to the school gate hand in hand,
and when they discussed something funny, Jasmine smiled so sweetly. He can't forget her charming
smile until now.
Although their relationship is quite awkward, he has to admit that her face is rather pretty. Even if she is
asleep, she still looks like an angel who can fascinate him with ease. He can't help but want to hug her
more tightly.
She is an innocent and unsophisticated girl who never hides her true thoughts. Pehry can easily see
through her, and he doesn't need to worry that she may lie to him.
But what about her?
When facing him, can she see his true colors?
Thinking of this, Pehry feels somewhat depressed. He does have confidence in her, but he feels that
there is still a long way to go.
No matter what, he has spent a lot of effort to grant her permission of being with him for one month.
Something unexpected may happen in the future, but at least she is his girlfriend now.
That's enough.
Pehry has been staring at her face for such a long time that he can still remember her facial features
even if he closes his eyes.
He lowers his head and kisses her warm lips before a heavy drowsiness falls upon him.
"Good night, girlfriend."
...
At 2:30 a.m. in the dean's office of Karl's Hospital.
The atmosphere is rather heavy, and everyone inside wears a solemn and sad expression.
Lily looks at the man sitting beside him. With his head down, he clenches his fists tightly, trying his best
to restrain himself. Feeling sorry for him, Lily reaches out to gently touch his left hand as a comfort. She
can feel his hand is icy cold.
She pats his hand twice. She wants to say some comforting words, but she has no idea how to begin.
Just now, Karl tells them an unacceptable thing....
Grandpa's illness continues to deteriorate, and he has lost control of his own body. He has to take ten
times the normal dosage of Dolantin every day, and there is not much time left for him.
Instead of having another half a year or a few months, Grandpa only has one week left.
Judging from Grandpa's vital signs and the current state of his organs, the doctors say that he is pretty
close to death. However, they can't come up with a feasible plan even now.
The doctors really want to save Grandpa's life, but there is nothing they can do to cure his illness.
As a doctor, Karl hopes that he can find a way to extend Grandpa's life. However, no matter how
advance medicine is or how exquisite his medical skills are, he is unable to change a person's genes.
He has tried his best.
Lily and Rex both know such a truth, but when their closest relative is about to die, they always deceive
themselves that there is still a way to save Grandpa.
Lily has woken up, but Rex is reluctant to accept the result that his grandpa is dying.
Fifteen minutes have passed. He just sits there quietly without saying a word. If his eyes weren't still
open, Lily would even think that he has fallen asleep.
"Rex, everyone did their best. Grandpa ... also did his best." After hesitating for a long time, Lily can
only give such a helpless consolation.
They are both in great pain during this period of time, but Grandpa is the most distressed one. After he
wakes up every day, the doctors give him drips and endless treatment. His arms are swollen because
of the infusion, and he can only use catheters to get nutrition. The most unbearable thing is that
Grandpa still remains conscious, which brings more pain to him.
Actually, their hope for Grandpa's recovery is also a kind of pressure for him.
Rex quietly listens to her soft voice. Overwhelmed with grief, he only wants to smoke to relieve his
pain.
