But, no one could elicit such an intimate feeling in him the way Jasmine Yale did.
He called this feeling “love at first sight”.
“Thank you for coming to take care of me, but once I’ve fully recovered, you should return to your homeland as soon as possible, your career is all in Landon,” said Jasmine Yale.
“Indeed, you’re very understanding. But it’s the same for me here in Singapore.”
Joe Heath looked at her with a smile.
“Jasmine, here’s something to cheer you up. Your stepmother and sister have been sent to prison.”
“What?” Jasmine was surprised, “Imprisoned? What did they do?”
“Rumor has it they joined forces to sell obscene videos. The specifics remain unknown to me.”
“Really? Kamila wouldn’t dare,” Jasmine questioned.
Kamila Zahir, she would probably never dare to do such a thing.
“Who knows? Anyway, they’ve been sent to prison, and as I heard, they’re having a tough time. Tsk tsk, delicate girls, can they withstand such punishment?”
Joe Heath didn’t say much either. Actually, he had some guesses about what was going on.
Those two, though a bit reprehensible, wouldn’t fall so far. It’s apparent that someone set them up.
“Joe Heath, the night here is beautiful, can you accompany me to stargaze?” Jasmine asked.
“Not today, you just got better. What if you catch a cold? I would feel terrible.”
“My mom used to accompany me.”
“Then….” Jasmine shook her head, “no one else did, I stargazed alone.”
“That’s quite a heart-wrenching story,” Joe Heath sighed, “but don’t worry, from now on, I’ll accompany you, and take you to different places to stargaze.”
Jasmine smiled and agreed.
In truth, Joe Heath isn’t a bad person. At least, being with him feels relaxing.
Especially for the current her.
After sleeping for three days and three nights and going through a near-death experience…a lot of things no longer matter to her.
Saying a thorough goodbye to the past.
From now on, she would stay in Singapore, living here forever, working hard and leading a decent life.
“My corporation in Singapore isn’t bad, right? I’ve heard you’re working hard. Actually, you don’t have to try that hard. I could support you,” Joe Heath confidently patted his chest.
“It’s great! Right now, my main task is to write press releases. Once the performance improves are you going to raise my salary?”
“No big deal! If you are willing, you can be my secretary.”
“Personal secretary? I won’t do it,” Jasmine laughed.
Joe Heath gave her head a playful tap and laughed.
After being unconscious for three consecutive days and nights, Jasmine couldn’t fall asleep.
She casually chatted with Joe Heath, without anyone interrupting them.
Peaceful days are the best.
She doesn’t like being abandoned, nor being betrayed. She prefers simple and calculative-free lives.
Jasmine spent a week in the hospital.
After her stitches were removed, Joe Heath applied scar-removal ointment on her. It’s said to be very effective without leaving any marks.
Joe Heath was by her side day and night for this whole week.
Taking care of her, cooking for her.
The night before she was discharged, he even specially drove her to a nearby hillock to stargaze.
The layered mountains beneath, with a bright moon and countless stars above.
The nights in Singapore are not cold, just a bit chilly.
“Jasmine Yale, be more optimistic and make sure to live your life to the fullest, alright?” Joe Heath pulled her in..
