On the other end of the phone, the director does not hesitate to promise, "No problem, what is the
patient's condition?"
"Cerebral hemorrhage," Pehry says as he glances at the tearful girl sitting beside him. "The exact
condition is not clear yet."
"Alright. He should be treated in the Neurology Department. I'll arrange it for him now." The director is
already registering, "What's the patient's name?"
"Your father's name."
Jasmine immediately replies, "Cyrus."
Pehry relays the message word for word. After receiving the director's affirmative answer, he thanks
him very seriously, "Thank you for your help."
"Mr. Pehry, you're welcome."
Seeing that he hangs up after a few words, Jasmine immediately asks in anxiety, "What did he say?
Can he arrange it for my father?"
The First People's Hospital is the most authoritative public hospital in J City. Not to mention the sudden
arrangement of an operation, it is definitely not simple to schedule an operation at ordinary times.
Pehry tightens his grip on her fingers and says, "He has arranged."
Jasmine's heart is beating very fast. Just as she got off the car and was about to return to school a
moment ago, she suddenly received a call from her home, saying that Cyrus needs an operation now.
Her home is not in J City, but in the neighboring B city. The medical conditions there are much worse
than those of J city. She does not know that her father has been sent here to see a doctor.
It must be because her family didn't want to distract her, so they didn’t tell her.
However, how could such a thing be concealed?
She knows it now, which comes as a much heavier blow than before. Cyrus has always been health, so
how can he suddenly suffer from the disease like that?
Therefore, the moment she gets the news, she immediately turns around to chase after Pehry's car.
She thought that she couldn't catch up, but she didn't expect him to park the car in front of her again.
Jasmine is really grateful to him as if she has grabbed the last straw to save her father. Especially
when she saw him calling the director without hesitation, she felt more grateful than before.
"Pehry, thank you. You can send me to the hospital later..." She is afraid of delaying his work and is just
about to say something.
Pehry does not accept his proposal, "How can I leave? I'll accompany you."
She is pretending to be calm, but what he has said blows her cover.
She really needs someone strong enough to give her a sense of security and stay by her side, but as a
sensible person, she has to push him away as soon as possible.
She is panicking. In this metropolis where there are no relatives and no one can help, she is in
complete chaos because of her father’s condition.
But at such a moment, he says that he will accompany her.
Jasmine almost bursts out crying again. She takes a deep breath to hold back and lock the tears into
her eyes.
Half an hour later, the car stops at the entrance of the hospital. As soon as she enters the hall, she
feels the majesty of the public hospital. Unlike the hospital of Karl, it is bustling with all kinds of people.
Pehry hates places with too many people the most. He protects Jasmine in his arms and walks to the
elevator door with difficulty.
The hospital has already sent people to receive him. It is said that the director is currently waiting at the
operating room with a few dozen people.
Pehry, however, is very calm. He doesn't find it embarrassing at all. He is used to being surrounded by
people, but Jasmine isn't. Her heart is filled with gratitude.
The two of them finally arrive at the door of the operating room. Cyrus has already been pushed into
the room, and only the family members are sitting on the chairs on the corridor outside.
It is her mother, Bridget, Aunt Hillary, and Uncle Joseph.
The three of them all look over, especially her mother, Bridget who looks terrible. She is clearly
frightened by the warm hospitality from the hospital just now.
Jasmine is worried about her father in the operating room. She does not realize how much
misunderstanding she has caused with Pehry.
She hurriedly walks to Bridget and grabs her cold hand. "Mom, how is my father?"
"I don't know yet. He has been in the operating room for half an hour." Bridget's eyes are still red as
she speaks, showing how worried and panicked she is.
"Mom, don't worry. Dad will be fine." Jasmine panicked all the way, but now, she tries to comfort others.
Pehry raises his eyebrows and sees that Bridget is looking at him. He quietly removes the hand that is
hugging Jasmine's shoulder, strokes his neck and looks elsewhere.
Bridget knows that it is not the time to care about others, so she does not ask carefully. She only looks
at her daughter with a complicated gaze.
Pehry's assistant and bodyguards arrive at the hospital afterwards. These five people are all tall and
strong. They are wearing black suits and standing on both sides without say anything. Just their
imposing aura is enough to shock others.
Sensing the discomfort of Jasmine's family, Pehry says something to one of them. Not long after, those
people have left.
Jasmine has seen what he has done and knows that he is thinking for her. Her originally cold heart is
suddenly softened and warmed. The long wait time seems to have become less grinding because of
his small action.
When Pehry turns around and walks over, he happens to meet the gaze of the girl. He is different than
before. This time, he looks serious and doesn't say anything. He is standing far away from them, as if
he is afraid of disturbing them.
She has never seen Pehry to be considerate and care about others. Only after seeing that does
Jasmine realize that what he has said before is true. He is not a person who is nice to everyone and
pesters others. He is just like that in front of her.
Jasmine turns around and looks down at the ground beneath her feet. The miserable white light lands
on the tile and gives off a small halo. There is a place in her heart that is slightly hot. She has to take
this feeling seriously.
Another hour later, the closed door to the operating room is finally opened. A doctor walks out of the
room with a white mask on his face and his gaze slides across the bench. "Who is the patient's family?"
Bridget immediately stands up and walks over, "I am his wife!"
"The operation is very successful. The final treatment is underway. Don't worry, he will be transferred to
the ward later. He is still under the anesthetic and is unconscious. Don't worry." The doctor's deep voice
comes through the mask.
Bridget is finally relieved. Her tense nerves suddenly relax, and so does herself. Her legs go limp and
she is falling to the ground...
Fortunately, Jasmine stands by the side and quickly supports her, preventing her from falling to the
ground.
She cries out in alarm and hurriedly looks at Bridget, "Mom! What's wrong with you?"
Bridget clutches her arm tightly and says in a weak voice, "It's fine. I was too nervous just now. My
heart is beating fast..."
Hearing this, the doctor immediately summons the nurses beside him. "The patient's family member is
not feeling well. Give her an injection."
