Chapter 15 Two Weeks in a Blink
Alva opened her eyes. After a moment, she touched her stomach.
It was as flat as before.
Right, it was gone.
“You’re awake?” A joyful voice came, Alva’s eyes moved to glance.
Jackson, wearing a casual shirt and pants walked towards her. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
He held something in his hands but immediately put it down when he saw she was awake, focusing his attention on her.
“Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?” Jackson asked with concern when he noticed Alva staring at him without moving.
Alva’s parched lips parted. “Thank you.”
Thank you for saving me.
Jackson paused and said, “You… Do you remember me?”
Alva shook her head. “I don’t know you.”
Jackson forced a bitter smile.
Well, three years ago they had only crossed paths once. He had quietly paid attention to her for a long time. Unfortunately, when he wanted to take one more step closer to Alva, he then realised he was diagnosed with leukaemia and went abroad for treatment.
“Let’s not talk for now. I’ll call the doctor now to check on you.”
“Okay…”
The doctor arrived quickly, performed a simple examination on Alva, and then said, “You’re physically weak. You need a good rest.”
“Alright, thank you doctor.”
“You’re welcome.”
She didn’t die, life had to go on.
She would live well.
Alva stayed in the hospital for half a month before being discharged.
After the discharge, Jackson arranged for her to stay in one of his condominium apartments.
He shared with her that they were schoolmates studied in the same university. Then, she regained recollection and remembered who he was.
Jackson, her senior in the university, and also the talented musician from the music department.
He had saved her once back in school days.
Unexpectedly, three years later, he saved her again.
“You’ll stay here for now, recover properly. Once you end the postpartum recovery period, we then can think about other things when you’re in better health.”
During these two weeks, he didn’t ask her anything at all and took care of her.
“Jackson, thank you.”
She never expected to encounter such a good person during her worst stage in life.
She was very grateful.
Jackson smiled gently, “You’ve already said thank you ample times, no need to say it again.”
“I will repay you.”
She believed in repaying kindness with even greater kindness, and she would repay him for saving her life.
Suddenly, Jackson said, “How about offering yourself to me in return?”
Alva was taken aback. Seeing her expression, Jackson turned around and pretended to get a glass of water. “I was just joking.”
“Hmm.. besides offering myself, I can do anything for you.”
They have been keeping each other company for the past half month, she knew he was a wealthy man, and she had grown wary of wealthy people. Alva was afraid.
Jackson handed her the warm water, looked serious. “If you really want to repay me, take good care of your health and live a good life.”
Throughout this half month, she hadn’t smiled once.
Not even once.
“Okay.”
Jackson’s phone rang.
“I’ll take a call.”
“Sure.”
Jackson walked to the balcony outside, answered the call. “Mom.”
“Son, where have you been? When are you coming back?”
Ever since he was diagnosed with leukaemia, his mother had been particularly worried about him.
“I have something to do now, I’ll be back later. What’s the matter?”
“You’ve been back for so long and haven’t visited your grandfather. The Irwin family hosted a banquet tonight. Let’s go together so that Grandfather Zack can have a good look at you.”
“Alright, I’ll be back soon.”
Jackson turned back and entered the living room. Alva said, “You don’t have to worry about me, I’ll take care of myself.”
“Alright, I have hired a maid. She’ll come later.”
“No need, I can manage myself…”
“I’ve already hired her. If you feel indebted, you can repay me when you start working in the future.”
Jackson’s words made it difficult for Alva to reject.
“Okay.”
Not long after, the maid arrived. Jackson gave some instructions and then left.
Alva sat on the sofa for quite a while, then picked up her phone and dialled a number.
“Hello, who is this?”
“Lawyer Tyler West, it’s me, Alva.”
