Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) -
Chapter 357
"But what?" Sergio carefully listened to Yadriel, and realised he hadn't finished his sentence. He looked up. That was when he saw Yadriel's tall figure looking rather different. In his heart, his father had always been as strong as the mountains, as deep as the ocean, but now he actually looked harrowing. There was even a faint trace of desolation, causing his heart to drop a little.
Yadriel had always fought for his ambition in politics. He would never hide anything from Sergio, and would even share his ambition and wisdom with him. Due to the influence from Yadriel, his ambition was to become a politician since he was young. However, that day, for the very first time, he saw how lonely Yadriel was, which upset him.
"Sergio, an outstanding politician not only has vicious means, but also has to take care of the overall situation, accept it and tolerate it. You can't be indecisive when it comes to your relationship. Marriages are to serve the politics. 'Tolerance' is the key to success. Back then, I made a proposal to Sara on your behalf, but never had I thought that the down-and-out Murphy family would reject us and choose the Richards family. This means that they had faith in Hansen. Now that Jenna has been mistreated since she married into the Richards family, Sara must be extremely disappointed in Hansen. Your time has come." Yadriel seemed to be really into it, but he sounded a little off.
As he listened to Yadriel's speech, Sergio felt an overwhelming and indescribable surge of emotion. Jenna's beautiful face flashed across his mind, and his heart was starting to flutter.
That year, she was only sixteen when he had first met her at a ball in Capital City. A drop-dead gorgeous girl. She'd stood out from the crowd, and captured his heart. Since then, all he could think about was her. After finally graduating from college, he had employed various ways to make Yadriel go to her house and propose a marriage. Unfortunately, the answer he got had broken his heart.
In fact, the gathering in that year had been held by Johan just for them. All the government officials in Capital City had brought their family members to the ball, giving them opportunities to make connections through marriages. Whether they would succeed, it would be up to God.
Sergio fell into silence.
Cigarettes were put out and lit up one after another by Hansen. He stood on the balcony of the hospital and gazed into the distance. All he could see was a gloomy sky. He too, was feeling gloomy, just like the sky.
Jenna was still sitting on the bed with Jerry in her arms, looking very fragile. Her lips were trembling, her body was shivering, her nerves were tensed.
The phone rang, and Hansen picked it up.
"Mr. Richards, I have something to tell you," Alvin said in a deep voice on the other side of the phone.
"Okay." Hansen looked at Jenna and Jerry who were on the bed, and changed the subject, "Has the helicopter arrived yet?"
"Mr. Richards, they have arrived at the airport. The medical team is now on the road. It is estimated that they will arrive in Wullen Town at night," Alvin replied hurriedly.
"Alright, go and get some daily necessities. I'll bring Jenna and Jerry home first, and we'll talk later in the evening." Hansen knew that if Alvin said he had something to tell him, it must be something important. However, Jerry's illness was more important to him, so he gave his orders without any hesitation.
"Okay." Alvin was anxious, but he understood that things couldn't be explained on the phone clearly, and that this was the only way.
"Jenna, how about we go home first? I've already called in a team of professionals from A city to treat Jerry. Let's get out of this hospital," he said gently as he walked in.
Jerry, who was in Jenna's embrace, looked at him with a hint of a smile. Perhaps it was because he had bought him plenty of toys.
Hansen was delighted. He reached out with his hand and caressed his tiny face, smiling at him.
"Go home?" Jenna was finally awakened by what Hansen had said. Feeling enlightened, she understood everything. She felt at ease. However, when she heard Hansen mention leaving the place, she became doubtful.
"Yes, home." Hansen nodded reassuringly. "Jerry's illness is still very serious, and the medical treatment here is too poor. I can't let you stay here anymore. It will be better if you go home."
"That's all it is!"
Seeing Jerry Coughing so loudly, Jenna felt pain and sadness in her heart, and since Hansen had called in a professional team, she had no reason to object.
He seemed not to have the intention of taking Jerry away by force. Otherwise, why would he call in a team of professionals? As she thought, she immediately lowered her head and spoke softly. "Hansen, I'm sorry. I've wrongly blamed you."
Her voice was very low, and she looked embarassed. There were traces of guilt and shame in her eyes. Her weak body seemed to be unable to bear the blow as it was shivering.
Hansen sighed and pulled her and Jerry into an embrace. He patted her shoulder lightly, not saying a single word.
"Pack up your things and we'll go." After her emotions had calmed down, Hansen let go of her and said softly.
Jenna nodded. She placed Jerry on the bed, and began to pack her things.
There were a lot of bits and pieces to pack. Hansen had wanted her to throw some away, but she picked up every single one of them in the end.
There was nothing Hansen could do but to call for a car. The alley was too narrow, that only one car could pass through at a time. It was not a long distance, but when they got home, it was already almost dusk.
"Miss Murphy." Upon getting out of the car, Aunt Lee quickly came out of the courtyard, looking very worried. "Jerry, are you okay?" That was when she saw Hansen, who was getting out of the car. She paused and greeted him with a smile,
"Hansen." "Aunt Lee, you're here?" Jenna was happy to see her return, and said, "Aunt Lee, you're an elder, you should have told me beforehand that you were coming, so I can pick you up." Jenna could not bear seeing her that way.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Lee felt uneasy and hastily said, "Oh my, Miss Murphy, after I heard that Jerry was ill, I got so worried that I wanted to rush here at once. It must have been hard for you, Miss Murphy." As she spoke, she took Jerry from Jenna and held him in her arms. Seeing that Jerry had lost a lot of weight, she said with distress, "Chubby little boy, it's only been a few days, and you have already lost so much weight."
"Don't worry, I've already hired a medical team. Jerry will be as fit as a fiddle soon," Hansen said in a relaxed tone as he opened the car door and grabbed the bags.
"Is Jerry back?" Sara was sitting in the living room and heard noises outside. She walked to the door with her cane, and shouted.
"Madam, Jerry is back." Aunt Lee hurried over with Jerry in her arms. Sara immediately smiled at Jerry, and with boundless love in her eyes, she asked, "Jerry, are you feeling better? Did you
miss Grandma?"
After going out and playing with Hansen for such a long time, Jerry seemed worn out, leaning against Aunt Lee's body. After a while, he started coughing so hard that his face turned red.
Right away, Jenna put Jerry's things into the room and carried him into the house to feed him some water. She placed her hand on his forehead, and said in an uneasy tone, "Hansen, Jerry is still having a slight fever. He must've caught a cold today when he went out."
"Quick, give him medicine." Sara became anxious after hearing about it. "He hasn't recovered yet. How could he go out? He can't be catching a cold now. All of you are really not sensible enough." Sara had an unpleasant look on her face. It became even more unpleasant when she saw Hansen carrying things into the room.
Jenna recalled what she had said the other night. Sara was now very much against Hansen. At the moment, she was glad that she had not disclosed the person who took Jerry out to play. If not, Sara would be even more upset.
"Mom, here's the medicine." She took the medicine out and distracted Sara's attention away. Surely enough, she turned all her attention to Jerry.
For the past few days, Jerry had been drinking the medicine so much that he was now sick of it. When he heard Jenna mention it, he knew what was coming. He immediately hid his face in Sara's chest and refused to face them.
When they had been in the hospital, Jenna could feed him at least some medicine, but now since so many people were doting on him, he probably wanted take advantage of it. He refused to take the medicine not even a little, despite coughing so much and so hard that his face turned red. This made Sara insanely anxious.
Hansen saw all of them pitching in to help but still couldn't have it settled. They kept comforting Jerry and had no idea what else to do. Hence, he walked towards them, and said to Sara, "Mom, allow me." Sara gave him a cold look and said in disdain, "Even we can't handle it. Can a man like you be up to the task?"
"I'll give it a try," Hansen said calmly. He was very confident.
Sara snorted. She didn't say a word, but she did let go.
Hansen carried Jerry in his arms, walked to the table, and picked up a toy car. "Jerry, do you want it? If you want it, then quickly eat your medicine," Hansen said.
Jerry opened his eyes and they lit up at the sight of the toy car. He immediately stretched out his hands, but Hansen moved it away before he could even touch it. Hansen whispered into his ear. Jerry then bowed his head and fiddled with the hem of his shirt.
The corners of Hansen's mouth curled up as he walked over to Jenna and took the medicine. He scooped a spoonful of it and brought it to his mouth. Jerry opened his mouth and drank it.
It was a miracle!
Everyone in the room was amazed.
The corners of Hansen's mouth curled up even more. With Jerry in his arms, he sat down, and then he put Jerry on his lap. Jenna hurriedly walked over with the medicine.
Hansen fed Jerry one spoonful of medicine at a time. Jenna was standing right beside him, with a towel in hand to wipe Jerry's mouth, and cheering him on.
What a brave little boy Jerry was. Even if the bitterness of the medicine made him teary, he would still gulp it down with his eyes closed.
"That's my boy," Hansen said proudly. After Jerry took his medicine, Hansen put him down and gave him a kiss before walking to the table to get him the toy car. Jerry accepted it and started playing with the toy.
