42. 42. I’m very Worried about a Woman Who Is Slow
Her hands were beautiful, her fingers slender, wrapped by a man’s big palm, soft like water without bones, and his big hands grabbed her hands even more tightly.
Jessie did not dare to look at him anymore and quietly looked at the road ahead. There were countless red taillights that looked like stars. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Her phone’s text notification rang again, breaking the silence in the car.
Alex turned his head and glanced at her phone.
On the screen that she lit up, she received a photo from Mike. Jessie saw the content clearly and the corner of her gentle lips suddenly tightened. She forcefully pulled her hand out from Alex’s big hand. “I want to go to the hospital.”
“Hospital?” Alex’s pitch-black pupils contracted indistinctly.
*Please stop at the front. I will take a taxi to the hospital.” Jessie held her phone tightly and looked at him with a begging look.
Alex looked at her for a second. His firm jaw moved slightly and he drove a few miles forward. When he reached the intersection, he turned the car around. “It is not easy to take a taxi here. I will take you there.”
He originally wanted to bring her back to Mountain and River Residence. If she was unwilling to move there so quickly, he could bring her to familiarize herself with the house tonight.
Now, it seemed like he could only bring her to Mountain and River Residence in the future.
When they stopped at the hospital parking lot, Jessie got out of the car and heard the other side of the car door also slam shut. Alex also got out of the car and walked around the front of the car, “I’ll accompany you up.”
She quickly stopped in front of him and put her hands in front of his chest. She raised her head and looked at him awkwardly. “Don’t. I’ll take you to see her next time, okay?”
Alex’s eyebrows twisted slightly.
Jessie saw that his expression was not good and could not help but approach him a little more. Her voice was softer. “Felix and Fia are still sleeping in the car. You are also worried about letting them stay here, right? Can you go back first tonight?”
The woman’s watery eyes were filled with uneasiness. He felt as if a soft jade was in his arms. Even if Alex was really angry, he could not get angry with her.
Grabbing her small white chin, he stared at her with a gloomy expression, “Since you know you are stupid, don’t do anything stupid, understand?”
Jessie’s expression froze.
.
It turned out that he knew who sent those messages just now...
She could not help but feel embarrassed. “Who said I would do something stupid again? Don’t accuse me wrongly!”
“I’m worried about a woman with a bad brain and naturally slow brain.”
Jessie was about to protest when Alex pinched her chin even higher and pressed his thin lips against hers.
When they reached the ward, Mike was helping Jouvita pack her luggage by the bedside.
“What are you doing?” Jessie quickly walked in and snatched the luggage from his hands
“I asked the hospital and said that Mom will be discharged tomorrow morning. I went to complete the discharge procedures and was just about to take Mom back.” Mike had a fawning look on his face and wanted to take the luggage from her again.
Jessie was extremely angry. “Who asked you to meddle in other people’s business?”
Nas
“A son-in-law is equivalent to half a son. Your mother’s matter is also my matter. How can it b e considered meddling in other people’s business?”
“Mike, we have already divorced!”
“Stop arguing!” Jouvita changed her clothes and walked out, sighing, “Let others see a joke? Mike. Since Jessie is here, you can go back. Thank you for the discharge procedures just now.
“Mom, the family doesn’t need to be polite. Jessie is still not willing to forgive me. I will leave after I send you home.” Mike said and came over to help Jouvita.
In front of Jouvita, Jessie did not want to argue with Mike directly.
She endured her anger and walked to the hospital door, not willing to let Mike drive her.
She called a taxi and left with Jouvita.
After taking a shower, Jessie was blowing her hair when Jouvita pushed open the door and walked in. “It has been a long time since the two of us slept on the same bed. Let’s sleep together tonight, okay?”
Jessie quickly ran over to hug her arm and smiled as she stuck onto her body, “Okay, I will sleep with mom in the future.”
The mother and daughter laid down together.
Jessie leaned towards her side, “Sleep with mom. I feel like I have returned to my childhood.”
“With a mother like me, what’s there to miss about your childhood?” Jouvita’s tone was full
guilt. Jouvita often fell ill during Jessie’s childhood. She almost beat Jessie to death several times. When she woke up, she looked at the small Jessie who was covered in injuries. Jouvita hated herself and also sought death. If Jessie had not called for her grandfather and grandmother to save her life, Jouvita would have died long ago.
Jouvita did not want to recall those tragic and hopeless past for the rest of her life.
Jessie leaned closer to her, “Why can’t I miss my childhood? You are my mother. If you did not painstakingly bring me into this world, how could there be a Jessie? Mom, thank you!”
Hearing Jessie say ‘you went through so much trouble to bring me into this world’, Jouvita’s expression froze for a moment and very quickly, she dismissed all the old matters in her mind and changed the topic, “Jes, regarding the matter with Mike, do you still have the possibility of remarrying?”
The smile on Jessie’s face froze at the corner of her lips. A few seconds later, she replied,” Impossible.”
The broken mirror used strong glue and the cracks were still there. Furthermore, someone had just warned her that she knew she was wrong. Don’t look back…
Hearing her daughter’s rare firm tone, Jouvita gave up the idea of persuading her again.
The next morning, Jessie still had not woken up when she heard the sound of voices coming from outside.
She thought that it was Sally, who was taking her annual leave at her parents’ house in G City and had returned to R City in advance.
She put on a coat outside her pajamas and walked out. “Sally, you’re back?”
She heard Jouvita’s voice in the kitchen, “How can I let you do this kind of thing? You have always been busy with work, so you should go back.”
“Mom, it is precisely because I was unable to take good care of you in the past that I specially took a long leave to compensate you. Just give me a chance.”
It was Mike.
Jessie quickly walked over, “Mom, you go back to your room first.”
“Okay, you guys can have a good talk.” Jouvita patted Jessie’s hand and walked to the door before looking back worriedly before sighing and going to the bedroom.
Jessie looked straight at Mike with a frosty expression, “What else do you want?”
“Jes, I don’t want to do anything. I just want to make breakfast for Mom and you.”
“Don’t call me and Mom anymore!” Jessie could not take it anymore and sternly interrupted him, “What exactly do you think of my mom in your heart? That day Yura had already said it very clearly. Can you stop being so hypocritical? If you are like this, I will only…”
She paused, her eyes were flushed red as she gritted her teeth and continued, “You will only make me feel disgusted!”
Mike’s impeccable face finally stiffened, and the veins on his neck jumped a few times. After a while, he endured the embarrassment and smiled again. “I know. Jessie, you are only angry now, that’s why you said something that hurts people. You have always loved me, the person you love the most is me. It has been eight years, no matter what I do. You always love me, so why do you think I’m disgusting? If you really feel disgusted, why did you beg me not to divorce when we were divorced?”
“I’m begging you not to divorce because I can’t accept that you proposed to divorce first, that’s all. After so many years, I took care of your mother. I’ll wait for you. In this marriage, I’ve always been the one singing the one-man show, You didn’t do anything, so why should you propose a divorce? I just don’t want to accept this, Even if you didn’t mention it, I would have prepared to divorce you a long time ago! If this was the reason why you pestered me, Now you know the answer?”
In the five years of marriage, it was always Mike who would be impatient or lose his temper. Other than submitting, Jessie would humbly curry favor with him.
Mike had never seen her like this before. He could not accept it for a moment. His face was pale and he stared at her. His lips trembled slightly and he could not speak for a long time.
Jessie pointed to the door and did not look at him anymore. “Don’t come looking for me again. Don’t make me nauseous of you!”
A “nauseous” words made Mike unable to continue pretending. He suppressed the anger in his stomach and sneered. “Don’t tell me you are still thinking about Boss Alex at that banquet? Jessie, he only showed you his gentlemanly demeanor. Don’t be a toad and want to eat swan meat…”
“Get lost!”
Mike slammed the door hard.
Jouvita came out of the bedroom and heard Jessie’s suppressed sobs in the kitchen. She also felt uncomfortable.
“Looking for a lover?!” Hearing Jouvita’s words, Jessie who was brushing her teeth almost choked on the toothpaste into the trachea.
“Yes, although he is a little old, he is still young. But you’re still not married, and you don’t have to ask too much from the women, and I’ve asked around and found out that the moral work is pretty good, and the time and place are all set for you, just tonight.”
Jouvita took the towel and handed it to her. She continued, “I have thought about it. Now you are determined not to have anything to do with Mike. It is not good for him to be so persistent. I am thinking of asking you to find a boyfriend. Regardless of whether you can succeed or
not, you have a man by your side so that you can give up on Mike’s idea, right?”
“Mom, you’ve only been here for a few days. Where did you find the man? It can’t be a patient i n the hospital, right?”
“No, he was introduced to me by someone I met when I was young in R City. If you really want to leave Mike completely, you can try. I won’t force you.”
Jessie specially called Felix and Fia early in the morning. She had something to do tonight, s o she would not pick them up from school at night.
Although the little fellows were very disappointed, they were still sensible and let her go busy.
After work, Jessie walked to the idle coffee shop not far away from the company.
The time they arranged to meet was six o’clock in the evening. Jessie directly came over after work and was a little early. The man for the blind date had not arrived yet.
Coming over was just a formality. It was rare for Jouvita to do such a thing and Jessie could not bear to reject her intentions and let her down.
It was six o’clock and the man for the blind date arrived.
Jessie stood up. The man was as tall as her and had a flat hairstyle.
Tas
“Miss Jessie?” He smiled and raised his eyebrows. The three wrinkles on his forehead were unfathomable.
Jessie smiled. “I am Jessie, Mr. Tom, right? Nice to meet you!”
“How happy are you?”
Jessie was speechless.
“Hahaha, I was just joking. I need to be funny.”
Jessie smiled coyly and sat back down.
“Let me introduce myself. I have three stores selling electrical appliances in R City. My annual salary is about one million. Actually, it is not hard for me to find a woman. The key ist o find someone I like, Miss Jessie. Do you think so? I think I quite like someone like you, Miss Jessie. Oh. By the way, did you put on makeup?”
Jessie pulled her lips, “I simply put on makeup.”
“Then you don’t have a good habit. No matter how good the makeup is, it will cause cancer. Putting on makeup for yourself is equivalent to suicide. In the future, if you follow me, you can’t commit suicide anymore.”
Jessie was speechless.
This was the first time in her life that she had heard such an absurd theory.
Alex was invited to attend a forum speech today. After the speech, he should have gone to the headquarters of the group to deal with some documents and looked at the time. It was almost time for school to end.
After asking Rick to send the documents to Mountain and River Residence, Alex drove to the kindergarten to pick up the children from school.
He was ready to pick up the children from school and bring them to pick up a woman. He suddenly wanted to know what kind of expression she would have when she saw them pick her up.
