Chapter 70


    Yasmin was stunned. “Is it serious?”


    “I’ve been to the toilet twice. What do you think?” ke gave her a gloomy re.


    Yasmin could not help but feel the urge tough. Sensing his cold gaze, she dared notugh and


    said, “I’m sorry. Let me help you back to your room to rest first.” Then, she helped him sit on the


    bed and went to fetch some medicine.

    After finding the stomach medicine, she poured a cup of warm water and brought it to ke. “Here.


    It’s stomach medicine. Take it.”


    ke got up, took the water and medicine, and swallowed them. Then, he leaned against the


    pillow.


    Yasmin asked, “How do you feel after taking it?”


    ke said, “My stomach still hurts.”


    “It may take a while to kick in.” Yasmin sat on the edge of the bed. She was wearing a pink


    nightgown with her long hair cascading over her shoulders, looking quiet and beautiful.

    Then, they fell silent. They were facing each other, but they had nothing to say.


    Yasmin used to initiate the conversations and chatter away endlessly. But now, she no longer


    bothered to do so. Even if she talked for a long time, his responses remained minimal.


    ke’s phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence. He nced at it and said to her, “It’s Grandpa.”


    Yasmin asked, “Huh?”


    “He probably saw the news and wants to ask about it. Do me a favor. Don’t let him know I’m sick.”


    ke did not want his grandfather to worry.


    Acknowledging his deep respect for his grandfather, Yasmin sat beside him and looked at the


    phone camera with him.


    ke answered the video call, and Arthur’s face appeared on the screen. A smile lit up Arthur’s


    serious face when he saw them sitting together in their pajamas. He asked, Yasmin, ke, haven’t


    you gone to bed yet?”


    “We’re about to rest,” ke replied, wrapping his arm around Yasmin.


    Yasmin looked a bit ufortable. However, she did not push it away because Arthur was there.


    She sweetly greeted, “Grandpa!”


    Arthur asked, “Yasmin, has ke been bullying you?”


    “No, he’s been good to me.” Yasmin’s expression was warm as she spoke. ke could not help but


    nce at her.


    “Really? Why do I feel like there’s a distance between you two?” Arthur had indeed seen the news


    about ke and Giselle. Hence, he called to scold ke. Eventually, he saw ke and Yasmin


    sitting together on a bed. They seemed to get along well.


    “Would we be lying on the same bed if we were distant?” As she spoke, Yasmin rested her head on


    ke’s shoulder. ke also embraced her.


    Yasmin felt a tension in her back, but she had to maintain her smile. She looked at Arthur stiffly on


    the video call.


    Arthur stared at them for a while before saying, “I’m relieved to see you two like this. ke, don’t go


    on business trips so often this year. Spend more time with Yasmin and give me a great–


    grandchild.”


    ke replied, “Okay.”


    Arthur shouted again, “Yasmin, did you hear me? Nurture your love with ke and give me a great–


    grandchild.”


    Yasmin did not respond. She suddenly felt a bit down because it was impossible to happen.


    Arthur looked genuinely sad. “Yasmin, I’m already 80 and won’t be around long. All I wish for before


    I pass is this. Won’t you help me fulfill myst wish?”


    Yasmin could not bear to upset him and nodded. “Okay, Grandpa.”


    Arthur’s eyes lit up. “You’re willing to give me a great–grandchild?”


    Yasmin nodded again. “I’ve always been willing to.”


    Arthur chided ke, “Did you hear that, ke? Yasmin has always been ready to have a baby with


    you. It’s you who hasn’t been up to the task!”


    ke nodded. “Alright, I’ll make an effort in the future.”
