Let's Get Married

Chapter 760: She Is So Shy

In a word, she can't feel it sweeter. Before, Jasmine doesn't understand the pure happiness of her roommates when they are calling or texting their boyfriends. The world seems so beautiful in their eyes filled with love.

Now she understands.

Every word that comes out of the mouth of the beloved one, is endowed with the special meaning.

She will only feel offended instead of sweet if these words come from anyone else.

A phone call from Pehry disrupts her girlish fancy.

She is startled by the phone's vibration. Seeing the caller ID, she glances at the locked bathroom door, and holds back the impulse to answer it.

Bridget will definitely hear it if she answers the phone.

She can only withhold her inside restlessness and hang up the phone. Pehry seems to know that it's inconvenient for her right now and doesn't continue to call. He just sends her an emoji of an unhappy face.

Jasmine's heart softens. They have just met in dinner time, but she still misses his voice.

So, at the risk of being caught, she puts the phone in her pocket and goes out of the bathroom. She said to Bridget, who is already lying on the small bed, "Mom, I'm going out to get some hot water to soak my feet."

Bridget raises her head to look at her, "Isn't there any water in the thermos?"

"Save that for drinking. I'll go to the water room to get some more."

Bridget did not doubt her words, "Alright, then come back quickly, don't delay."

Jasmine sneaks out of the ward and walks quickly into the water room with her phone, paying no attention to the usually gloomy and terrifying place.

The first thing she does is to call Pehry back.

The phone rings for less than two seconds before it is picked up. Pehry's clear and gentle voice comes through, causing her ear to go limp and numb, "Hello? Am I dreaming? You actually called me back?"

"..."

Jasmine remains silent for a while, and she feels her feelings beyond description, "I called you several times, okay?"

Why does he sound like she has never called him herself?

"Oh, I thought you wouldn't be able to take it at this time." Pehry chuckles. He is like a dog waggling for her patting, "I didn't expect you to be willing to talk to me."

"Come on, don't say that. When wasn't I willing to?" Although Jasmine knows that he is joking, she doesn't like it, "It was inconvenient in the ward just now, so I got in the water room to call you back."

Hearing this, Pehry thinks of the narrow and dim space in the water room. He immediately frowns, "Why there?"

"Where else could I go?" At least not in the corridor, which is colder at night because of the convective winds.

"How about this? Transfer Uncle to the hospital where Karl is working. It has better environment and medical equipment. You and Auntie can also have an isolated room for sleep. And the rehabilitation is more efficient." Pehry says, wishing he could arrange it now.

Jasmine refuses immediately, "No, my families already feel that we owe you a lot. My mother won't accept it if my father is transferred to a private hospital."

Especially after knowing about Jasmine's relationship with Pehry, it is even more impossible for her mother to agree.

Besides, Cyrus’ operation is done. And his body has recovered quite well. There is no need for more ado.

Actually, it is Jasmine that Pehry is more worried about. Every day, she can neither sleep well nor eat well in the hospital. He is worried by her haggard face today when they meet.

"Let's have a big dinner tomorrow after the movie. You need recovery." He wishes he could do everything he can for her, fearing that he will miss out something.

Jasmine feels particularly moved and happy. For 20 years, it is the first time that someone else apart from her families has cared about her like this.

Suddenly, all tiredness is replaced by joy.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me."

"How could I not be worried?" As he speaks, Pehry sighs, "I've got money to burn, but you won't let me spend it on you. Aren't you afraid that I'll spend it on another woman?"

Jasmine is stunned for a while before she realizes what he means. Her eyes round from anger, "Pehry!"

"Alright, alright." Pehry is only teasing her, and is immediately defeated by her anger. He quickly apologizes, "I'm only joking."

Jasmine takes revenge on him, "Fine, I'll find a handsome boy at school to lessen your burden, how about that?"

"You dare!" Pehry puts on the angry air right away, even threatens her, "If I knew that anything like that happened, you two would definitely regret it."

"This is tyranny!"

"I'm just joking. I can't see you often. And you won't even let me have some jokes?" Even though Pehry says that, his tone is very gentle, not bossy at all.

Jasmine snorts softly, "I said I'll keep you company tomorrow. I'm really busy..."

"I know." Pehry says right after her, "I'm not blaming you. I'm already very happy to be able to see you."

His sweet words make Jasmine lose her words. The corners of her lips can't stop curving up.

She has never thought that it could be so sweet to be with Pehry.

She used to think they belong to different worlds, but getting close to him leads to the love that she has always yearned for.

After chatting for nearly twenty minutes, Jasmine looks at the time and reminds him, "My mother is going to call me very soon."

Pehry replies softly and doesn't delay any longer, "Go back and have a good rest. Good night."

"See you tomorrow." After saying that, she tightens her grip on her phone, knowing that he won't hang up unless she hangs up first. After a while, she forces herself to say shyly, "I'll miss you."

Her voice is as gentle as the humming of a Mosquito, but Pehry feels his entire body bathed in pink bubbles. He wishes nothing else than grabbing her into his arms and kissing her like crazy. Unfortunately, that's not going to happen. He'll keep it in mind and make it up tomorrow.

"I miss you too." He responds her affectionately, "I miss you when I'm working, I miss you when I'm not working, I miss you when I'm on the way to see you, I miss you every second."

Jasmine blushes with her pounding heart, even though he is not in front of her, "I know, stop...."

"You little fool, I am your boyfriend. What should I do if you are so shy like this?" Pehry chuckles, "Go back to sleep. Good night, my girl."

After a fast whisper of "Good night", she hangs up the phone quickly.

She stands still, and repeats several deep breaths to calm down. Then she walks towards the ward.

Pehry, this man is really ... so tempting.
