Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1010

Jay crumpled up the prescription. "It's of no concern." Angeline felt greatly relieved. "That's good to hear." Jay brought Angeline to Zayne and persuaded him, saying, "If she doesn't want to take the medication, then it's up to her. Don't you think it's more important to see her happy?"

Zayne dropped his head and sighed. "Emotions are the main cause of my sister's vision loss. If we can curb her anxiety and depression, then she might feel better quicker. But in the past few years, she has shed too many tears for my brother-in-law who died young, and that's why..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Angeline pinched him hard, extremely displeased that he had just called Jay 'the brother-in-law who died young'.

Zayne changed the subject and said, "Thanks for taking her around. We'll be making a move now."

"Mm." Jay nodded.

Zayne held Angeline's arm and left.

When Jay watched the siblings leave, he could vaguely hear Zayne reprimanding Angeline, "I brought you to the hospital, but you refuse to follow the doctor's advice. Don't you think you're just wasting my time?"

Jay frowned.

He could not help but feel worried for Angeline. It must be hard for a soft girl like her to have a rough big brother like that, right?

After entering the elevator, Angeline cheered with great excitement. "Zayne! I hugged him just now and he didn't push me away!"

Zayne put on a blank expression. "I saw it. He still treats you differently after all, huh? Not only did he allow you to embrace him, but he also looked especially perverted when he stared at you." Angeline furrowed her brows. "Perverted? That's obviously an adoring look, right?"

Zayne retorted, "Does that make any difference?

Whatever it is, the cheesy look in his eyes gave me goosebumps."

Angeline's face broke out in a grin.

After watching Angeline entering the elevator, Jay lowered his head and stared at the prescription.

In order to cure his mysophobia, the doctor said that he needed to take nerve-suppressing drugs as well.

He initially wanted to do it for Marilyn.

Though for some reason, when he saw Angeline refusing to take her medication, he wanted to give up on his as well.

If he could not spend the rest of his life with the girl he loved, then he would preserve his good physique for when he would meet her in the next life.

Jay went home in a despondent and dejected manner.

When he got home, the joy on Marilyn's face darkened at the sight of his empty hands.

"You went to visit the doctor, didn't you, darling?" Marilyn felt a little uneasy.

She naively thought that after Jay visited the highly skilled doctors in the city, they would be able to cure his weird illness.

Then soon enough, she and Jay would finally be able to consummate their marriage.

Though she never would have thought that he would return empty-handed.

Jay sat on the couch and stared calmly at the disappointed look on Marilyn's face.

"The medication has many side effects. They suppress nerves and cause weight gain!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Marilyn burst into tears. She complained in a stammering voice, "You gave up treatment for fear of gaining weight? Are you trying to turn me into a grass widow?

"You're already a husband and a father, so why do you even care about your body shape? Or are you perhaps being unfaithful to me and are still hoping to mess around with other beautiful women out there?" Jay responded with silence.

Marilyn's accusation was not entirely unreasonable.

He had indeed cheated on her on a spiritual level.
