Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1729

It was because he felt a sense of familiarity when he embraced Angeline.

Petite and delicate.

"Let's go get you some new clothes tomorrow, Angeline."

Angeline let out a dazzling smile. "There's no rush for that. Let's wait until you recover."

"I'll recover tomorrow," Jay said.

In the evening, the doctor came to Grand Asia to give Jay a diagnosis.

The doctor was extremely surprised by the examination results. "Mr. Ares' illness has improved greatly. He has pretty much recovered. This is my first time meeting a patient with such a short recovery time." Angeline was elated. After the doctor left, she called Boye and reported the good news.

Tourmaline Estate.

When the elders of the Ares and Yorks families learned that Jay's condition had improved, they were equally delighted. Grand Old Master Ares was overjoyed. He patted his thigh and exclaimed, "I knew i t! Angeline is the best doctor for Jay."

His words exposed the news that Angeline had returned to Imperial Capital.

Chloe's face grew sullen while her dry and yellow eyes became shrouded in anger. No one saw her hands clenching into fists under her sleeves.

As soon as Angeline returned to Imperial Capital, Jay was eager to go back to Carefree Garden. He completely forgot about the fact that he still had a sick mother.

Angeline must have done something behind her back. At least, that was what Chloe theorized. Whatever Angeline did must have caused her son to grow so distant from her.

After returning to Fragrant Vessel Court from the lobby, Chloe complained to her husband, Jordan, "I've heard people saying that grown girls can't be kept at home, but now I know that a son will also forget his mother once he's married. When I heard that Jay was sick, I rushed home to see him regardless of my own safety, but what about him? I merely complained about Angeline a little and he's already extremely impatient with me. He even snuck out to meet his wife in the middle of the night."

Jordan accused Chloe, saying, "When Jay returned to Imperial Capital, he had a high fever and wouldn't stop coughing the next day. Were you still expecting him to stay by your bedside to fulfill his duty as a son at such a time?"

Chloe looked grudgingly at Jordan. She thought he would empathize with her but did not expect him to empathize with Jay instead.

Chloe said sourly, "He's my son. I feel heartbroken when he's ill, of course. Why would I ask him to serve me? I just think that Jay is too cold to me, different from the Jay I knew several years ago." Chloe recalled how Jay had rescued her from the underground palace, massaged her stiff legs, hired doctors to treat her, and ran all over the place while worrying about her. He had treated her so kindly and generously back then.

"I have a feeling that Angeline is the reason behind Jay's alienation toward us."

When she finished the sentence in between clenched teeth, Jordan placed his teacup on the coffee table heavily and said furiously, "That's enough, Chloe! Have you not learned from your mistakes? Look at our son! He was always so high-spirited and vigorous back then, but what about now? He's so thin that a mere cold is enough to give him pneumonia. That just means that his body has completely worn down. So what if we as parents suffer in exchange for our child's health?"

Chloe looked at Jordan in a daze. The man who had treated her gently her whole life was now staring at her with an icy gaze.

Chloe could feel blood dripping from her heart as the sour bubbles in her chest expanded.

"How dare you scream at me?" Chloe said in disbelief.

Jordan sighed and said, "My dad summoned me yesterday and told me a lot of things. I really shouldn't have focused too much on how to be a good husband. I should have learned how to be a good father too. My father told me many things about Jay and Angeline. I finally know how outstanding and filial Jay is, and how kind and loving Angeline is. They're both wonderful children, but they had to suffer the sins o both the Ares and Yorks' ancestors. They were supposed to start a new life together, but you just had to come and make their lives worse. Don't you think you're too cruel to them, Chloe?"

Jordan grew more and more agitated. "Why do you think you can hurt them?"

"The only reason why you can hurt the children is that you're Jay's mother and Angeline's mother-in-law. They respect you, and that's why your words can hurt them. If you destroy this relationship one day, you will not have the chance to hurt them ever again because they have all the reasons in the world to treat you as a stranger."

Jordan stomped away after saying those words.

Chloe stared angrily at Jordan's departing back. In this strife with Angeline, this was the first time she had ever felt so miserably defeated. How could she possibly admit defeat, though?

"Angeline Severe, you're the reason why I've grown apart from my son, my husband, and my father. Do you know how much I hate you?" Chloe did not reflect, but instead, she put all the blame on Angeline for the retribution she received.
