Lieutenant Johnson plucked up his courage and said, “Chief, it may not be appropriate for you two to be alone, wouldn’t it”


    Jasper’s sharp eyes swept over him like a de of ice. “I don’t see anything wrong with it. Go back and prepare. Let Grey Wolves go to the ind for practice tomorrow.”Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Lieutenant Johnson did not dare to say more. “Yes, Sir.”


    …


    Although Ste’s injuries were not serious, they were all on her back, making her unable to clean and disinfect them on her own.


    The nurses helped her to clean up and then sent her back to bed.


    Stey quietly on the bed. She was so hungry, she felt that her stomach had disappeared.


    Because she felt ufortable during the afternoon, she didn’t eat anything.


    The delicious scent of food wafted into the room, and she felt hungrier.


    Jasper opened the door, and the nurses came in with a bowl of fish soup, sweet and sour ribs, and stir-fried vegetables.


    “Are you hungry?” Jasper asked softly.


    Ste felt a subtle sweetness in her heart and nodded.


    She remembered.


    Perhaps it was because of her wounds, as she moved, she felt some pain.


    “If you don’t want the wounds to split open, lie down and don’t move,” Jasper said.


    She looked at Jasper.


    His eyes softened. “I’ll feed you.”


    Just this morning, it was still him lying on this bed, and now it was her.


    “Are your head and hands alright?” Ste asked with concern.


    “I’m hiding from the evening banquet anyway. No matter.” Jasper exined.


    He patiently removed the bones from the fish, then ced the fish on a spoon, and fed it to her. “The doctor said that this will help with the scarring,” Jasper said.


    She felt much more at ease hearing that he was fine.


    After eating the fish, he fed her, Ste grew excited.


    “Jasper, do you have any wishes?” Ste asked. She wanted to do her best to help him fulfill his wishes.


    “Don’t you know my wish?” Jasper looked at her with keen eyes.


    Ste remembered what he wanted.


    She didn’t expect that the wish he wanted being herself.


    Ste lowered her eyes.


    Jasper did not want to make things difficult for her since she was injured. “What’s your wish then?” Jasper asked.


    She had many wishes, first, to be an excellent doctor, second, to find a partner who she loved and to live out the rest of her days with, third, to cook for her partner for the rest of her life whilst watching the moon and stars in the sky, and fourth, she wished good health for her mother and happiness to all the people she cared about.


    Was she being too greedy?


    “Taking a trip to Provence. I want to take my mother there; it was a ce she always wanted to see.” Ste said wistfully.


    “That’s easy. If the problem is money, then I’ll pay for it.” Jasper said generously.


    Ste shook her head. “My mother is mentally ill, if she has a breakdown she will hurt people around her. She can’t be let out.”


    Jasper frowned and did not speak anymore. He focused on helping her remove more fish bones.


    Ste looked at his charming face. When he was focused, he was like a perfect work of art, chiseled by a sculptor’s hands. Especially his eyes, they were like the brightest stars in the sky.


    “Am I handsome?” Jasper nced at her and handed her the fish soup.


    “Yes.” Ste did not deny it.


    “What about Federick?” Jasper raised his eyebrows and asked.


    It is undeniable that Federick had a good-looking face.


    He was naturally elegant, with an unruly arrogance and an aura that could turn the world upside down.


    He was the type that could make girls swoon the moment he appeared.


    “That is an unfairparison.”


    “Then which one do you prefer?” Jasper had to know.


    Ste felt trapped.


    If she picked Jasper, it was as if she was professing her love for him.


    However, she would never pick Federick anymore.


    “I am no longer a little girl. I have already passed the age of dreaming. I don’t care about appearances.” Ste said ambiguously.


    “Then what do you care about?” Jasper did not intend to let her go.


    “His heart,” Ste said simply.


    This one word epassed everything.


    She met Jasper’s deep gaze and they looked at each other, it was as if something was colliding in the air, sending sparks around them.


    Jasper slowly approached her.


    Ste’s breath became heavier and heavier.


    He had an impulse to kiss her.


    “Hey, I want to eat the ribs,” Ste said suddenly, interrupting the atmosphere.


    “Okay.” Jasper did note closer. He cleared his throat and picked up a rib for her.


    He didn’t eat until she had finished.


    Stey on the bed and looked at him.


    She thought he was quite good at taking care of people.


    “If you look at me again, I won’t try to control myself,” Jasper said in a hoarse voice.


    Ste’s face turned red. She turned her head and looked to the other side. The back of her head was now facing him.


    Jasper had made her smile unwillingly.


    If she was not injured, he may not have been as kind as he was now.


    After eating, Jaspery on his bed.


    The light was still on.


    Ste was quiet. She felt his presence even without looking at him.


    Slowly, she closed her eyes.


    In the middle of the night, Ste needed the bathroom, she had been on the IV drip for hours.


    She quietly got up.


    This awakened Jasper, he turned on the light and held her up. He asked worriedly, “What’s wrong?”


    Ste’s face turned red. “I need to go to the bathroom.”


    Jasper instantly carried her up and moved towards the bathroom.


    “It’s not that serious. They are just scratches; I feel much better now.” Ste said awkwardly.


    “If you don’t want the wound to split open and have to lie on a bed for a few more days, then shut up,” Jasper said aggressively.


    He carried her to the bathroom, gently put her down, turned around, and walked out of the bathroom, and closing the door behind him.


    Ste was suddenly very conscious of the sound of her urine tinkling against the toilet.


    She could feel the heat on her face.


    When she was done, she opened the door.


    Jasper immediately picked her up and put her back on the bed.


    She closed her eyes but did not sleep.


    Jaspery down again and turned off the lights, he did not speak.


    Ste looked at his blurry figure in the dark.


    Federick had never been in the same room as her, despite being married for three years.


    She had lived a life of loneliness, in the empty room every night.


    She felt that she was not a woman anymore, she lost her confidence.


    “Thank you, Jasper,” Ste said sincerely.


    She really appreciated what he was doing for her. He had not only brought warmth to her life, but also to her heart.


    How did she win his favor in the first ce?


    Slowly, she fell asleep.


    When she woke up, Jasper was gone.


    Eli pushed open the door and walked in. When she saw Ste lying on the bed, she looked worried. “What happened to you, Ste? Why are you hurt?” Eli said.


    “Why did youe here?” Ste was surprised.


    Eli grinned. “Your wild man called me and said that you are in this room. He asked me to take care of you. What’s wrong with you? Is it serious?”


    “There was a minor car ident. In fact, it was not that serious. I have done my check-ups; I only have some bruises. The wounds are almostpletely healed. Perhaps I can be discharged in the afternoon. You don’t have to worry.” Ste turned over to show that she was really fine.


    “That’s good. Do you know what this is?” Eli took out a recording pen from his bag.


    “Evidence?”
