Enchanted By His Charm

Chapter 842 842: Why Are You Still Here?

?

Joseph was happy with his sincere attitude.

Irish understood it. She scolded Jay and told Joseph, "I think there is no need for cigarettes."

Joseph also thought that. Firstly, how many hotels have iterated that they were no-smoking areas? Furthermore, he didn't want to make his wedding venue filled with smoke.

Jay patted his hands, "Okay, a sum of money has been saved. Considering your identity, I must have prepared many high-end cigarettes."

Joseph lowered himself and smiled beside Irish's ears, "You two are really cousins."

Irish couldn't help laughing. 

After Joseph and Irish left the ward, Jay just sat down and poured himself a glass of water. Then, as he finished it, he just wiped his mouth clean and said, "Okay, now you can get relaxed."

Mary said, "One day, when you marry a woman, that would be the time I can really be relaxed." She didn't finish her intentional words. Actually, she knew before long that Jay had broken up with Lilith.

From the very beginning, Mary felt it was unsuitable for them to be together. Except for the fact that Lilith was from the Lakes, they both were not financially matched. Others might long to marry a rich woman, but Mary and Steven were not these kinds since they were low-key and didn't want to think of a short-cut way to succeed.

Later Lilith did something to make Mary change her mind, but what mattered? They both were just not with good luck. She considered introducing a good girl to Jay one day and hoped that he could live a peaceful life.

Jay smiled forcefully, "Then you need to think of other ways."

Steven was embarrassed to hear that, so he just cleared his throat, "Your cousin and your cousin-in-law have left, and you can leave now. There is so much work with you."

Jay was about to say something, and suddenly someone knocked at the door, and someone pushed in.

It was the physician in charge. 

He asked directly, "Are you, Steven? Why are you still here? I notified you yesterday that you can get discharged." 

Jay looked at Steven and Mary suspiciously.

Mary got not so cozy about his look, so she just said, "He just keeps coughing. How can he be discharged?"

"Yes, I still cough." Steven pretended to cough immediately.

The doctor felt helpless, so he just walked in, "Steven, we have expressed to you that the illness you have is tuberculosis. Now you only need to have medicine to decrease inflammation and relieve cough. You do not need to be in the hospital."

"It's better for me to get more shots here."

"If so, you can go to the clinic." The doctor hasn't negotiated with such patients before. Other patients hoped they could get discharged one day, but this guy just stayed in the hospital and wasn't willing to leave. "What's more, now there is a shortage of room. Patients outside desire for an empty one, so you should also consider more on patients with more serious illness."

"Hmm..."

"Okay, let's get it done tomorrow. There are so many bacteria in the pneumology department. Do not get affected." The doctor made a final statement.

Mary and Steven just looked at each other.

The doctor just disappeared immediately.

Steven sighed while Mary looked at Jay. As she spoke, Jay signed, "I got it. I will get it done tomorrow morning, and I will not say a word to Irish."

"That's okay." Mary nodded with satisfaction.

Jay was the one who laughed in front of people and got lost behind the crowd.

Noticing Lilith out of the building, he felt attached, ached, helpless and painful. It was after work, and beautiful white collars and a man with suits came and went. Lilith figured him out easily. She lit up suddenly, and then she felt upset. She came forward.

"I thought that you would never find me." She smiled lightly.

Jay resisted his desire to embrace her and just cleared his throat, "I am here to notify you to attend the wedding."

"Are you getting married?" Lilith raised her face to look at him, and soon she nearly cried.

Jay was anxious, so he immediately explained, "No, it's not my wedding but Irish and Joseph's." 

It took so long for Joseph and Irish to decide to register their marriage, so no official announcement was made. Irish sent him to tell Lilith.

Actually, he knew Irish's intention, but what could he do? Although he thought it this way, he couldn't help waiting for her in the building. Finally, he met her with the excuse to notify her about Irish's and Joseph's wedding.

Lilith realized so she lowered her head immediately. "The wedding is so sudden, anyway, congratulations to them. I will attend it."

Jay nodded, but he couldn't help watching her. Her face looked pale, so he couldn't help asking, "You look so tired."

Lilith covered her face and looked at him, "I do have a good rest." If she had known that he would come tonight, she would wear foundation makeup to hide her bad look caused by severe insomnia for a long time.

Jay kept silent and then asked, "Does he treat you well?" He couldn't ask about when they would get married. He just couldn't make it because he felt hurt.

"Yeah." Lilith lowered her eyes and felt choked.

At this moment, their conversation seemed to end. Jay didn't know what else he was going to talk about with her, but he wasn't willing to leave so soon. It was the same feeling Lilith had at this moment.

They both just enjoyed their short-time meeting with concealed emotions. They were afraid that when they parted, they would feel strange with each other one day when they met again.

Jay wanted to have a meal with her, which was his thought. As he was to invite her, a car stopped behind him, and it was Lenard.

Lenard drove a sports car, brand-new and luxurious, while Jay's was a practical one, which was not as new as Lenard's. Jay just choked back his invitation.

That was right. Lenard could give what he couldn't and do what he couldn't.

"Hey, Jay." Lenard felt embarrassed for the time being. However, he tried his best to make a smile and came forward, holding Lilith lightly.

Lilith's shoulder trembled lightly. She looked at Jay subconsciously, while Jay felt hurt by the hands put on Lilith's shoulders. After a while, he tried his best to smile back at Lenard.

"Shall we go?" Lenard asked Lilith.

Lilith didn't respond for a long time. 

"Let's go. Don't you want to go to the concert? Otherwise, we may get late." Lenard was gentle.

Lilith released her tight fists and finally nodded.

Lenard sent Lilith to the car and returned to talk to Jay, "I'm so sorry."

Jay smiled lightly, "There is nothing right or wrong in the relationship, but you must make sure to keep her safe even if you have left your job as a policeman."

"Lilith will be my wife. I will take care of her." Lenard was serious.

Jay didn't talk anymore, and he just took a glance at Lilith in the car while she was also watching him with red eyes. She turned her head away. Jay turned around to leave.
