Chapter 21 Mountain Wave
Climbing the mountain…
It was tired and sunbathed, so they were not at all interested.
“Dad, I have a few surgeries to do, so I don’t have time to…”
Juwan stood up and was about to leave but was stopped by Uncle Smith. “What? Are you the only doctor in the hospital?”
Juwan smiled awkwardly and rubbed his nose.
This made Teddy and Telly, who were trying to find an excuse not to go, stop talking.
“It’s settled then. We’ll set off soon.”
No one could resist Uncle Smith’s orders. So they changed into climbing clothes and followed him to the famous local attractions.
When they arrived, Cassie immediately saw smiling Kittie, who was wearing a long dress.
Auntie Smith grinned widely when she saw Kittie. “Kittie, you’re really coming. I thought you weren’t coming.”
“Mrs. Smith, you’ve invited me. How could I not come?” Kittie grabbed her hand obediently.
Telly had always been straightforward. When he saw Kittie’s clothes, he curled his lips and said, “Who wears a long dress to climb a mountain? How will you climb?”
A faint smile appeared on Cassie’s face. Telly was funny.
Kittie turned pale and bit her lip. “Sorry, I don’t often climb mountains, so I don’t know…”
Cassie felt a headache as she looked at Kittie, who was on the verge of crying.
This woman might be up to something. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have come.
“Alright, why do you care about others’ clothes?” Auntie Smith rolled her eyes at him and pulled Kittie’s hand up the stairs. “Let’s go, Kittie. We’ll go first.”
Kittie’s tears turned into a smile. “OK.”
They walked in front. Cassie and the other five people followed behind, and Uncle Smith brought up the rear.
Along the way, Javen didn’t say anything. Seeing that he was silent, Cassie raised her eyebrows and said, “Javen, you are as dull as your name.”
But Javen only looked at the distant scenery, not paying attention to her teasing.
Suddenly, Cassie stepped on a stone accidentally and sprained her ankle.
“Ouch.”
She frowned and held her ankle.
Seeing this, Javen lowered his head and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I sprained my ankle.”
“Can’t you walk?”
Cassie was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat. Seeing her pain, Javen picked her up.
Last time she was on her period and was in so much pain that she almost fainted, but she didn’t have any feeling in his arms. However, this time, she was conscious. She could feel his strong heartbeat and the mint fragrance in his arms.
“Put me down, I can walk by myself…”
“Look at your swollen ankle, yet you still refuse to admit it.” Javen’s face was cold, turning a deaf ear to her resistance. “There is a hospital on the mountain. Juwan can help you reduce the swelling.”
Hearing this, Cassie obediently nestled in his embrace.
When Jacen saw this from the side, an evil smile appeared on his face. “Javen, I didn’t expect that you would actually have tender feelings for a girl. You are finally getting the hang of it!”
There was a woman that Javen cared about.
Javen’s voice became heavy. “Cut the crap.”
Telly rolled his eyes. “Dramatic.”
Juwan was busy dealing with the hospital’s affairs, while Teddy was talking to his agent. Neither of them had time to pay attention to the situation here.
But Kittie noticed it. Seeing Cassie in Javen’s arms, she cursed in her heart that Cassie was a vixen.
Thinking of this, Kittie’s mood instantly dropped. The adjacent Auntie Smith noticed her bad mood. So she asked, “What’s wrong, Kittie, you seem to be a bit unhappy.”
“Javen, he… does he like Cassie?”
Auntie Smith jerked her head back and saw Cassie in Javen’s arms. She had a long face as well.
“Don’t worry, Kittie, I will give you an explanation.”
When they walked up the mountain, Cassie was sent to the temporary hospital for treatment. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Auntie Smith entered Cassie’s ward.
“Cassie, I want to talk to you.”
Cassie had little contact with Auntie Smith ever since they resolved the past enmity. When she saw her coming over, she wondered what was wrong with them.
Cassie smiled. “Mrs. Smith, go ahead.”
“You seem to be very close to Javen recently.” Auntie Smith seemed to have inadvertently mentioned this, but Cassie understood immediately.
“No, I didn’t talk much with him.”
Auntie Smith said seriously, “I have told you before. I hope Javen’s wife is Kittie. I don’t care about what’s your intention of approaching Javen, and neither does the relationship between you. But remember, I can’t agree with you being with Javen. Don’t even think about it.”
Auntie Smith was trying to put on airs in front of her.
But Cassie smiled and said, “Mrs. Smith, don’t worry. I don’t have a thing for Javen.”
“That’d better be the case.”
After finishing her speaking and hearing this promise, Auntie Smith thought for a moment and revealed a satisfied smile. “My other four children are also outstanding. You can choose one of them. Cassie, you’re smart. You should know what to do.”
It did not affect Cassie’s mood. She sat on the hospital bed, opened her laptop, and began to send messages to Cater.
“Are you there?”
“Cassie, what’s wrong?”
“Send me several bottles of special medicine wine. They are at the bottom drawer in the warehouse.”
“You’re injured again? Cassie, why are you so unlucky recently?”
Cassie was full of doubts. “Why is this person so mean?”
Just as she finished speaking, Jacen pushed the door and walked in.
“Miss Garsia, are you feeling better?”
Jacen naturally sat to the side, as if they were very familiar with each other.
But Cassie’s expression was remote. “Mr. Smith, what can I do for you?”
“I’m just concerned about you, Cassie.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
He smiled. No one could tell if it was real or fake.
Cassie remembered that she didn’t have much contact with Jacen. He was a Greek gift and probably had bad intentions.
“Just say it. Don’t hide it.”
Jacen smirked. “What if I say I’m interested in you?”
Hearing this, Cassie smiled. “Do you believe your own words?”
Jacen bent down slightly and smiled even more broadly. “Why don’t you believe me? You make me so sad.”
Cassie was a little resistant to his approach, so she moved backward to avoid physical contact with him.
“Please behave yourself.”
But Jacen pretended not to hear her. “What are you afraid of?”
Javen pushed the door and walked in, only to see the ambiguous posture of the two people.
His eyes darkened. “Did I disturb you?”
Such a scene was not a pretty sight.
Looking at Javen’s expression, Jacen was secretly delighted.
“No, we are here to see Cas.”
He had especially changed the nickname to reveal that they had an extraordinary relationship.
The name “Cas” was said with affection by him.
