Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1718

After hanging up the phone, Grand Old Master Ares calmly said to Grand Old Master Yorks, "JJ's fever has subsided. And I barely heard a cough from him when we talked. It looks like his illness has improved, so don't worry about it."

Hearing that Jay's condition had significantly improved, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Jordan also tactfully tried to persuade Chloe, saying, "Chloe, our child's condition has gotten better now. So let's not head to Carefree Garden and disturb his peaceful rest."

Chloe was still upset since she would not get to see Jay.

Jenson then bid farewell to everyone and left.

Carefree Garden.

When Angeline entered Jay's bedroom with another portion of herbal soup, Jay's smiling face turned somewhat petrified.

"Do I have to drink it again?" He lay on the bed desperately.

Angeline placed the soup on the bedside table and extended her hand to pull him up. "Come on now, drink your medicine."

Jay acted coquettishly. "Feed me, Angeline."

"Okay, I'll feed you."

Jay sat up, and Angeline scooped up a spoonful of soup into his mouth as they chatted. "Grandma's herbal remedy is truly effective. You drank it twice yesterday and your cough has gotten better. The frequency has decreased as well. Yesterday, you coughed dozens of times consecutively. Today, it subsided to five or six coughs."

Jay quietly listened to Angeline's voice as she spoke. Angeline paid so much attention to his condition, and he felt rather touched by it.

"Why aren't you speaking?" Angeline realized that Jay had been silent for quite some time and asked curiously.

Jay replied gently, "I'm attentively listening to you."

Angeline smiled charmingly. "Grandma Boye also taught me how to make a therapeutic soup for coughs. When you're all better, I'll make some for you every day. That way, we'll dispel the cause of it from its root."

Jay merely smiled and nodded.

"Grandma said that you're not young anymore. So if we don't cure it completely, it'll easily lead to chronic bronchitis. When you're old, imagine how uncomfortable it'll be to cover your chest with one hand as you cough while the other is holding a cane? So I have to completely cure this cold for you." Angeline wanted him to drink the medicine obediently, and she mimicked the appearance of an old man crouching and coughing.

Jay was somewhat angry, yet he still found it rather funny.

"Who told you that I'm old?" Jay pinched Angeline's clear and glowing cheeks.

Angeline realized that she had committed an unintentional mistake and said a taboo of his.

"I didn't do it on purpose, Jaybie. You're not old." Angeline apologized quickly.

"If I get old and start hunching and coughing constantly, will you despise me?" Jay suddenly asked sorrowfully.

Angeline said, "Of course, I wouldn't. You'll be an elegant and funny older man when you're old. Look at Grandma Boye, she has a light temperament. She looks 60 even though she's 80 years old. Your family is blessed with genes that freezes your appearance in time."

Jay replied, "Angeline, I don't want to grow old."

Angeline smiled and asked, "Why not?"

Jay grew silent. There was a hint of worry from his darkened pupils.

After some time, he said, "I'm afraid that once I grow old, I'll not be as strong. If you need me, I can no longer be as I used to be and embrace you unscrupulously."

Angeline's eyes were filled with tears.

It turned out Jaybie was worried about her...

Angeline placed the bowl on the bedside table and held Jay's hand tightly. She said, "You don't have to worry about me. My illness has been cured."
