Chapter 1708


    Grand Old Master Yorks looked at Jay as if he was pleading with him for help. "JJ..."


    Jay was in a tough spot. He remembered the countless nights of Angeline trying tomit suicide


    and selfharm. Her face had been filled with despair and immeasurable tears. Jay said with lingering


    fear," Angelina''s body can''t withstand any more damage. I''m sorry, Grandpa. I won’t agree to let


    Angeline return to the Yorks'' household. Especially when Mom is still s o hostile toward her."


    Grand Old Master Yorks mmed the table in anger." Hah! Your mother''s truly something else.


    She''s done such a terrible thing and ended up utterly isted, yet she hasn''t repented."


    Jay said, "Mom’s hostility is getting worse than before."


    Grand Old Master Yorks'' expression turned utterly ck.


    Grand Old Master Ares was also in a fit of rage. "Your mother is headstrong and cannot bring


    herself to ept defeat. After Angeline''s incident, she didn’t have the slightest repentance. She


    even felt resentful because we criticized her.”


    Jay was silent.


    He had already made up his mind never to let Angeline return to Imperial Capital.


    That night, perhaps due to the cold wind, Jay started coughing when he got up the next day.


    Jay''s physical fitness had always been excellent. However, this time around, the cold was so bad


    that h e could hardly stop coughing.


    Once Grand Old Master Ares learned that Jay was ill, h e felt distressed for his grandson. He


    sternly said to Grand Old Master Yorks, "This is all because of your daughter. JJ had to take care of


    the sick Angeline this whole time, so when would he have the chance for a good night’s rest?


    Angeline''s illness was so severe, so h e may not only be unrested but also be filled with anxiety all


    day long. That''s detrimental to his body. I know very well that Jay hasn’t caught a cold in decades."


    Grand Old Master Yorks could only sigh.


    Grand Old Master Ares ordered his servant, "Get to Grand Asia and ask for a doctor.”


    Everyone from the family came over to see Jay when h e got sick this time around. Jayy still on


    the bed and said dispiritedly, "Everyone, get out. I want to rest alone."


    He looked at the phone on the bedside table, feeling somewhat anxious. If Angeline called him, he


    would not be able to hide the fact that he had caught a bad cold.


    That girl would continuously be worried about him.

    At this moment, he was hoping that Angelina would not pick up the phone to call him. However, he


    could not bear the loneliness and wanted to hear her voice.


    After the doctor examined him, he concluded that it was acute bronchopneumonia. Jay needed to


    be put o n an IV drip, and the course of treatment was one week.


    The doctor rmended hospitalization for Jay.


    However, Jay firmly refused it. "No. I have to get back t o Cloud City tomorrow. You can prescribe


    medication for me. I''ll be fine after some medicine."


    Grand Old Master Ares knew that Jay was not at ease because of Angeline. He could not make up


    his mind whether to let Jay leave or stay put.


    After all, Angeline was suffering from depression and anxiety disorder. If Jay was not around, would


    she do something foolish?


    Grand Old Master Ares was very much at a loss.
