Chapter 1643
There seemed to be no improvement at all in Angeline''s condition.
The affectionate bond between Angeline and Jay was bing more and more fragile.
A powerful and dignified man like Jay had always been confident at nning strategies but was
now filled with helplessness.
Living across their courtyard was an old couple.

The old man was disabled and sat in a wheelchair all day. The old woman would push her husband
out for a walk every day. They would cross a bridge and a street, staying with each other through
trials and hardships, talking andughing with each other.
Angeline could see the old couple chatting andughing through the ss window every time, and
her eyes would be filled with longing when that happened.
To grow old together. An unchanging love thatsted until the end of time.
When Jay noticed Angeline''s odd behavior, he walked to the window curiously, and when he saw
Angeline locking her gaze on the old couple, he was shocked.
Angeline still longed for unending love, right?
However, she tried to drive him out of her world, so was that not self-contradictory then?
Jay had trouble figuring out what Angeline was really thinking inside. He walked up to Angeline
slowly and moved his hand toward her face.
He wanted to touch her face but was afraid that Angeline would resist. When Angeline looked back
at him, his hands were so tense that they were suspended in the air.
"Do you want to go out, Angeline?" he asked her.
Angeline did not respond.
If Angeline was not particrly resistant, she would respond with silence instead.
Jay pulled out a loose and thick trench coat from the closet and put it on Angeline before picking her
up and walking outside.
The weather in April had turned cold after a brief warmth.
The afternoon sun was warm, though. Angeline wrapped her arms around Jay''s neck, resting her
headfortably on his broad shoulders.
She felt a little weak and exhausted. Standing upright for a long time was hard for her.
Jay did not think that Angeline was depending on him when she did that. He simply thought that
Angeline was frail and weak.
Jay walked out of the courtyard door holding Angeline in his arms. In the courtyard from across the
street, the old couple sat at a stone table chatting while sipping tea.
When they saw Jay, the old couple immediately greeted him with an amiable smile. "Hello sir, care
to join us for tea?"
The old couple probably had no idea why they used the words ''care to join us'' either even when
they were i n a high ce themselves. Looking at Jay’s noble demeanor, they instinctively knew that
Jay had an extraordinary identity.
Jay sought Angelina''s opinion in a soft voice, "The old man and old woman are inviting you over for
a cup of tea, Angeline. Do you want to join them?"
Angeline peeped at the old man and the old woman and was on her guard. The old woman stood
up and walked up to Angeline.
"What''s wrong with this child?" the old woman asked i n an amiable tone.
Jay looked at Angeline and when he saw how embarrassed she looked, a smile crept onto his face.
H e said in an exceedingly pampered tone, "She''s okay. She''ll get better very soon."
The old woman said, "Come in, I''ll take a look at her. I''m a doctor."
Jay walked in holding Angeline in his arms and ced her on his knees. When the old woman
uncovered the hood of her windbreaker and saw the incredibly delicate face, she eximed, "This
child is s o beautiful."
Jay''s eyes were filled with pride. Of course, his Angeline was the most beautiful girl in the world.
However, the old woman took pity on Angeline when she noticed how emaciated she looked.
"What illness does this child have?"
Jay looked forlorn again, saying, "Anxiety and depression."
The old woman was slightly stunned at first. She then exchanged nces with the old man and
smiled.
She said calmly, “Why don''t you have a cup of tea first?"
The old man poured Jay a cup of tea and said meaningfully, "My wife and I experienced many
hardships ourselves when we were young. It''ll all be okay once you get through these hardships."
