Chapter 561: Chapter 561: He Annoyed Me Even When He Was Alive
Three days later, Jasmine Yale fully recovered, no longer vomiting.
She packed her things and was discharged from the hospital.
Joe Heath drove her home and bought her a ton of nutritional products.
“Jasmine, you’re too skinny, you should eat more. If necessary, I can get you a nutritionist.” Joe Heath expressed his concern.
“Of course, I’ll lose weight when I’m sick, I’ll gain it back after some time.”
“Do you want to spend New Year’s at my place? Or should we go on a trip?” Joe Heath asked.
He was seeking Jasmine Yale’s opinion.
Although he couldn’t see too much pain or intense expressions on Jasmine Yale’s face, he was still somewhat worried deep down.
Worried to the point where he wished he could be with her every moment.
Jasmine Yale shook her head: “Neither, I can spend New Year’s at my place.”
“Home? You mean your rented room?” Joe Heath looked disdainful.
Jasmine Yale gave him a disgruntled look: “So what? I can’t afford to buy a house, I will work hard and get one.”
“I have so many properties, you don’t need to buy one.”
“I can buy one myself.” Jasmine Yale replied indifferently.
The future will be better, right?
But Jasmine Yale always felt that something was subtly changing…
“How can I let you spend New Year’s alone, we’re friends, aren’t we?” Joe Heath frowned.
“We’ll figure it out when the time comes, I want to go to the library and read.”
Jasmine Yale brushed her hair aside, her face devoid of any emotion.
However, the calmer Jasmine Yale was, the more Joe Heath worried.
“I’ll accompany you, you can read the books, I can watch you.”
Jasmine Yale found his words both amusing and annoying: “I just want to read some books, you’re not worried that I’d do something drastic, are you? Don’t worry, I’m not that attached to him. He’s dead, what’s it to me, how does it concern me…”
In the end, Jasmine Yale’s voice lowered.
It was as if her heart was suddenly submerged by a flood, lost, unsure of what she felt.
Joe Heath looked taken aback as if he had been exposed.
“No matter what, he’s been with you for twelve years, I’m scared you might…”
“So what if it’s been twelve years, there are plenty of people who care about him. When he was alive, he was pretty annoying to me, and I was annoying to him. A while ago, I even cursed him, wishing he was dead. We couldn’t stand each other, why should I feel upset? You’re right, he was with me for twelve years, so it only took me a couple of days to grieve. I’ve moved past that.”
Jasmine Yale’s voice was calm.
Her face was plain.
It seemed like that person had nothing to do with her, she even seemed to find him irritating.
Joe Heath sighed to himself, his eyebrows knitted into a frown.
He looked into her eyes for a good while.
In the end, it was Jasmine Yale who laughed: “I’m heading to the city library in a bit, Ann Nolan also said she’d bring me some books.”
“Ann Nolan? Do you still know her?”
“Yes, we’ve known each other for a while.”
“Let me drive you to the library.”
“Joe, don’t you have work? If you keep this up, all the stars from Star Sharp will leave and the company will start to decline…”
Joe Heath laughed and pinched her face: “You don’t hope for my success, do you? If I really end up broke one day, will you support me?”
“Keep dreaming.” Jasmine Yale scoffed.
She then began to tidy up the textbooks and notes on the table, and packed all her stationery into her pencil case.
After everything was sorted out, Joe Heath drove her to the library.
