Chapter 1644


    Jay tasted the tea and could tell that it was premium tea. He took a sip and put down the cup.


    He then poured another ss of water for Angeline and handed it to her. "Want to drink?"


    Angeline took it and moved it to her mouth with quivering hands. Jay held the teacup with his


    hands, afraid that Angeline would break it.


    The old woman looked fixedly at Angeline with enquiring eyes.


    "How long has she been ill?"


    Jay glossed it over. "Twice, but it won''tst long. Angeline is very brave and will ovee the


    illness b y herself."


    The old woman nodded with a smile.


    She did not doubt a word that Jay said. "With your meticulous care, I’m sure she’ll get better very


    soon."


    After a pause, the old woman suddenly asked, "She has gastrointestinal problems?”


    Jay looked at the old woman in astonishment. If she was not a professional, how would she know


    that depression could also trigger gastrointestinal problems?


    The old woman did not give an exnation, but instead, she walked into the house and came back


    out with a bag of oats. She handed it to Jay, saying, "Take these oats home and make some for her


    every day. If she can''t eat, then make her drink. This will help with her gastrointestinal problems."


    Jay would not normally turn down anything that could potentially help Angeline.


    "Thank you, Granny." Jay was very grateful to the old woman.


    The old woman took out a chessboard, ced it on the stone table, and said, "My husband loves to


    y chess, but I''m terrible at it. Sir, I can see that you’re a really wise man. Can you y a game of


    chess with my husband?"


    Jay hesitated. He was a little worried. What was Angeline supposed to do if he was focused on


    ying chess?


    The old woman said, "Don’t worry, I’ll keep this childpany. It will be better than her lying in your


    arms all the time."


    Jay was skeptical, but the old woman had stretched out her hand lovingly.


    For some odd reason, Angeline took her hand and stepped on the ground. She staggered a few


    steps and sat on a wooden stool not far away.


    Jay fixed his gaze on Angeline the whole time, but when he saw her calm demeanor when she sat


    with the old woman, he slowly set his mind at ease.


    Jay began ying chess with the old man, and even though he was distracted, he still managed to


    y chess in an extremely sophisticated way.


    The old man stared at the chessboard and started pondering about it seriously.


    On the other side, Angeline looked at the olddy with innocent eyes. She was probably more than


    80 years old now yet still looked extremely robust and healthy. Looking at her wrinkled face,


    Angeline could vaguely make out her beautiful face from her youth.


    Angeline squinted her eyes and stared at her for a very long time, and for some reason, the old


    woman''s face turned into Jay''s face.


    Why did their facial features look so strikingly simr?


    "Tell me, my child, what''s your name?"


    "Baby," Angeline replied without thinking.


    That was what Jay had been calling hertely!


    "Oh!" The olddy knew that this was only Jay''s nickname for Angeline. It was probably not her real


    name.


    "Do you like him?" the olddy asked.


    Angeline nodded without thinking.


    The old grandma smiled. "I can see that he''s very

    worried about you. He''s really good to you. You must b e really happy."


    A dark shadow shed across Angelina''s eyes. Was she happy?


    Her happiness was built on Jaybie''s pain, though?


    She shook her head hard...
