Let's Get Married

Chapter 743: Afraid She Will Suffer

Her father is still in the hospital, and there is little time left. Pehry can't really do anything. Though he understands, it is still difficult for him to let go of her.

Control....

He moves back a little, withdraws the hand on her shoulder, puts it into the pocket of his pants and props it up a little to conceal his awkward situation.

"Let's eat. I'll take you there after we finish." His voice is hoarse as he speaks.

Jasmine nods and doesn't dare to look at him. She seems to be paying all her attention on the sandwich she is eating and caring for nothing else.

Half an hour later, they tidy up and get out. The driver has already parked the car in the courtyard. He struts in the front, but doesn't sit in the front seat as before. Instead, he stands on her side and opens the car door for her. He bows a little bit and says, "Come on in."

Jasmine watches him open the door for her. He seldom does it though this is not the first time. Thinking of their current relationship, she feels even more embarrassed. Thus, she quickens her pace and gets in. She is about to thank him when she suddenly remembers what he has said before and swallows her words.

He doesn't seem to like it when she thanks him.

So... she decides not to.

Seeing her sit in the car, Pehry follows suit. The driver respectfully protects his head and watches him sit down safely before returning to the driver's seat.

"Mr. Pehry, are you going to the company?"

"No. Let's go to the hospital first."

"Okay."

Not long after, the car starts. Jasmine looks at the villa that is left behind. With outsiders around, she is always a bit restrained.

"How is your father?" He asks her as he lowers his head to read the document.

Jasmine pauses for a moment and says, "Not bad. The operation is quite a success. If there are no other complications later, he can recover well."

He nods slightly, "If anything else happens, just tell me. I can talk to the hospital. It's convenient."

Speaking of the hospital, Jasmine thinks of the operation fee again.

She doesn't know whether to mention it or not. She always feels that if she talks about it, Pehry will definitely be unhappy. However, if she doesn't mention it and accepts such a huge sum of money, she can't get past this in her heart.

After a moment of hesitation, Jasmine still decided to follow her heart and says, "About the surgery and hospitalization fees, I...."

She has just started when Pehry interrupts her. "I said you didn't need to think about it."

"I know." Jasmine quickly explains, "I don't mean anything else. I just feel that it's a big sum of money, and I definitely can't explain how I can afford it at home. It's best if I know the exact number."

However, Pehry pretends not to understand her. "The hospital will settle things with me."

"You know that's not what I'm talking about."

"What is it then?" Seemingly confused by what she has said, the man closes the documents in his hand and turns to look at her. "You mean that you don't want my money?"

Jasmine opens her mouth but says nothing. It seems to be what she means.

"What are you going to do then?" Seeing that she insists on explaining everything clearly, Pehry simply tells her, "Jasmine. You're my girlfriend. If it hadn't been for the urgency, I wouldn't have done this. I don't know how you feel, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm not doing this for you because I have no better ways to spend my money. I just don't want you to suffer more because of this accident. Understand?" Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Not only is there a huge disparity in status between them, there is also a huge disparity in financial resources. However, Pehry has always deliberately avoided talking about it. He doesn't want her to feel any pressure, but despite what he has done, she is more sober than anyone else.

He is truly afraid that she will misunderstand him, and he does not want her to, especially when it comes to money. It is unnecessary and not worth it.

Hearing his words, Jasmine feels as if she is lying in a soft cloud. She finds it difficult to tell him what she has planned to say.

"Pehry...."

"I'm here." He says, seeing her hesitation. "I know you don't want to owe me money, but that's not the case in my eyes. If you do pay me back, it is a burden to me."

The last thing he lacks of is money. Money is just a number. The expense of Cyrus’ surgery and follow- up treatment means nothing to him.

However, the money that means nothing to him becomes such a heavy burden for her. He worries about her, but at the same time, he does not dare to say anything else, afraid that his words will hurt her.

Pehry is impressed by her pride. But he is less willing to let her suffer.

No man is willing to let his woman live such a hard life. He even wishes she is a money worshipper, so he can be of some use.

He tells her so that Jasmine knows what he is thinking. She doesn't want to reject the kindness of others. She explains softly, "I understand what you said. I don't have so much money to pay you back now. I just don't want our relationship to be mixed with too many irrelevant things.... Shall I write you an IOU? I'll return the money to you slowly. Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry, but don't pretend that it hasn't happened, okay?"

By saying this, she has already made a big compromise.

Pehry doesn't want to agree with her, but he also knows that if he doesn't, she will never let go of this matter. So, he can only say, "That's fine, but you can't force yourself. You only give me 200 yuan a month, and then slowly return it."

"..."

Jasmine almost thinks that she has heard it wrong.

Two hundred?

"I'll pay you back two hundred a month?"

"Yes."

"Then I might not be able to pay it back in this lifetime."

"Nothing." Pehry raises his eyebrows and smiles, "It's even better. This way, I can keep you by my side for the rest of my life."

Yesterday, they just confirmed the relationship, but today, he has talked about the rest of his life.

Jasmine's heart suddenly skips a beat, as if something has hit her.

"We've just been together. It's too early to talk about forever...."

"Is it early?" Pehry pretends to raise his watch and looks at it. "Alright, then I'll talk about it in the afternoon. It'll be fine in the afternoon, right?"

Jasmine is helpless with his childish nonsense, but even though she doesn't say anything, she is overjoyed.

Who doesn't want to hear the words of love from someone they like?

Probably all the girls in the world can't reject the confession of their beloved.

This is a feeling that she has never felt in twenty years, so at this moment, it is even more intense, as if it is going to fill up her entire heart.

The driver looks through the rearview mirror at the two people sitting in the back seat of the car. He has sensitive ears and hears this conversation. He can't help but glance at Jasmine a few more times.

He has to remember this Miss Jasmine well. No matter where he sees her in the future, he has to be respectful.

This hot-tempered Mr. Pehry has never admitted anyone as his girlfriend. This Miss Jasmine is the first one. She could be more than his girlfriend in the future.
