Jasmine meant that he was lying. Youâre a man, why are you nervous?
However, then she saw the bulging veins on his neck.
He had bathed, but he was still sweating.
Boyce touched his cheek. âIâm afraid to scare you.â
Jasmine gave him a look. He was wary. It was obvious he was in the mood, but he still held back from doing it. Her heart melted and she took the initiative to hug him. âIâm not afraid of you at all.â
She leaned close to his ear and said softly, âIâm already yoursâ¦â.
When they were ready and the mood was right, they gasped as they were about to become true husband and wife.
Jasmine looked at what was underneath her, suddenly got out of bed and ran to the bathroom.
Boyce took one look at the blood on the bed and couldnât react for a long time.
After a while, she slowly calmed down. Although the agitation in his body did not go away, his mind was much clearer.
After a while, Jasmine came out dressed. She lowered her head and gripped the hem with both hands. âSorry, my period doesnât usually come this time of year. I donât know why itâs early this monthâ¦â
Boyce sat down next to the bed, fixed his bathrobe and said, âItâs okay. Itâs not your fault.â
Seeing Boyce upset, she felt very guilty. He walked over and said, âIâm going to clean the bed.â
Boyce said, âNo, you sit down and Iâll do it.â
Although Boyce was unwilling, he couldnât help himself. He couldnât have sex with her when she was on her period, could he?
Jasmine stepped aside, glanced down and secretly blamed her period for coming at such a bad time.
The mood today was excellent, but it was being destroyed by this untimely event.
He bit his lip and snatched the blade from Boyceâs hand. âYouâre all thumbs. Iâll do it.â
He lifted the bloody sheets from the bed deftly, tossed them into the laundry basket, and put clean sheets and comforters on.
He put the sheets in the washer to wash and let Boyce sleep.
Then she went to the living room and refolded the clothes.
He sat on the couch and folded the clothes neatly one by one. His mind wandered as he looked at the pile of clothes on the table.
Boyce sat down on the couch, hugged her and said, âYou donât have to worry about that, we still have plenty of time.â
Jasmine looked down, still secretly blaming herself.
She felt sorry for herself.
It was better not to start, at first it had all gone so wellâ¦.
Boyce pinched her cheek. âWell, itâs getting late. Letâs go to bed.â
Jasmine turned to give him a look. âCan you still go to sleep?â
Boyce coughed softly. âI just drank a bottle of ice water. Iâm sleepy now.â
Jasmine pouted. âBut I canât sleep.â
Boyce scratched his nose. âStill canât forgive yourself?â
Jasmine nodded vigorously. âI just canât forgive myself. My period was so on time before, otherwise, every now and then, itâs late. But this time itâs early, fate is playing with me.â
Boyce lifted her up. âAll right, donât think about it anymore, letâs go to sleep.â
He put her on the bed and hugged her, âItâs late.â
Jasmine rolled over, snuggled into his arms and closed her eyes. She could calm herself in his arms. Even though she still couldnât get over what happened today, she was much calmer.
Jasmine only slept very late. Boyce fell asleep earlier. He woke up first in the morning. When he woke up, Jasmine was sleeping soundly. He didnât wake her, but gently got up.
He hung up the washed sheets last night. Being single for so long, he can do many things well, except cooking.
He went to buy breakfast and came back. He stopped by the grocery store and went inside to buy a bag of brown sugar.
When he returned, Jasmine was still sleeping with no sign of waking up. Boyce put the breakfast on the table, brown sugar too. He made a pot of water and poured it into a thermos. Jasmine still showed no signs of waking up after he had finished everything.
He got dressed and went out with the car key.
He was busy at the station today. He could only deal with the Missâs business after he got off work.
Since Officer Miller resigned, the affairs of the police station were temporarily handled by Boyce. There was a lot of work handed over by Officer Miller. Now he had to take care of it all until the superior assigned someone to fill the position.
At the hospitalâ¦
To facilitate Armandâs care, instead of asking for another bed, Theresa sat in the chair next to the bed to rest.
Because she had been up many times during the night to check on Armand, she didnât wake up until after eight oâclock. She awoke when the doctor came into the room and she heard the sound of the door opening.
Theresa went to the bathroom to wipe her face. The doctor checked Armandâs injury and said he still has to stay in bed for a while. He wonât be able to get out of bed and walk for a week.
Theresa came out and asked, âWhen will he be able to wake up?â.
The doctor coughed a little, looked at the man lying in bed and said, âI canât be sure. You should talk to him more, maybe you can help him regain consciousness.â
Actually, the doctor meant that he should talk to him more to see if he could allow him to regain consciousness and stop torturing those who love him. Theresa said she understood.
âTake good care of him. You can look for me at the nurseâs desk whenever something happens,â the doctor said.
Theresa nodded and dismissed the doctor. She went back into the room, sat down in a chair and gave him a quiet look.
He gently opened his mouth to her. Unsure if it was because she had just woken up or because she was sad, her voice was husky. âArmand, Iâm not going to make things more complicated for you, when are you going to wake up?
Grandma is too old to put up with this. Please wake up.â
Armand didnât want Theresa to be sad, but it would look awkward if he woke up suddenly. He can only keep pretending to be unconscious, he couldnât derail his plan all at once.
He must take this opportunity to resolve the matter thoroughly.
They must know that life is very fragile. If you donât take care of him, he may pass out for real one day.
In the face of life and death, how insignificant would his previous conflicts be?
Armand showed no sign of waking up. Theresa felt inevitably disappointed. She rubbed her face to cheer herself up and set about getting water to clean Armandâs face and hands.
Just then, the phone on the table rang. She picked it up and displayed Oscarâs number.
He pressed the answer button and held the phone to his ear. âHello, Oscar.â
Oscar said, âNothing important, I just want to ask how Armandâs situation is now.â
Theresa glanced at him. âHeâs still in a coma, I donât know when heâll be able to wake up.â
âI donât suppose he hasnât rested or eaten well?â Oscar said with concern. âI hear you much weaker. Donât worry too much about Armand until you fall ill. You canât mistreat yourself because of men at any time, do you hear me?â
Theresa walked over to the window, took a look outside and said, âI understand.â
âTell me the address of the hospital and Iâll order a meal for you,â Oscar said.
Theresa smiled, âYou must be kidding, Oscar. Youâre in C-Townâ¦â
âAs long as Iâm on earth, I can order food for you just by calling on the phone. Itâs not as complicated as you think.â
Theresa smiled. âWhen can you be a little more serious?â
Armand secretly opened his eyes, turned and saw Theresa standing in front of the window. Although he couldnât see her face, he could sense that her conversation with Oscar was very casual, and her mood had lifted a lot.
âIâve always been serious, itâs you who thinks Iâm not serious, just because I like to wear brightly colored clothes. But brightly colored clothes make me look young.â
ââ¦â
Why does brightly colored clothing make one look young?
