"Headache?" Silvia sat him up and served him a glass of warm water. She said with a worried face, "Jayden, have a glass of water first. I will call the doctor right away."
"You don't have to call the doctor. I can still endure such minor pain." He didn't want her to go when she had just returned. What he wanted to do now was to hold her in his arms and smell her scent.
"Endure? Is that what you always do? Do you think you' re a master of endurance?" Silvia scolded. She had the strong urge to wake him up by smacking him to let him know that he was sick and that he had to see the doctor, not just endure the pain.
"Actually I don't have a headache. It's just that you went out for too long, I just miss you too much." These cheesy words stunned Silvia. She even thought that she was hallucinating.
"Why are you just standing there?" Jayden pulled her and said, "Sit down and let me hug you."
"Oh..." Silvia sat down in a daze and was taken into his arms. Then she heard him say, "If you spend this much time shopping the next time, I'm going to punish you."
"You were the one who told me to go shopping." Silvia didn't even want to go out in the morning. When she had gone shopping, she didn't feel comfortable about it because she had to worry about him being alone at home.
Jayden retorted, "You' re usually not this obedient, but when it comes to shopping, you did exactly as I said." It felt good holding her like this, she was like a little oven warming up his heart.
"Because I was buying stuff for you. I was worried that you won’t like it, so I looked again and again." Silvia felt wronged. She was thinking about him, yet he had misunderstood her again and again.
"What did you buy for me?" At least she had thought of buying something for him. Jayden thought she was not that stupid, after all.
Silvia broke out of his embrace and picked up the shopping bags strewn by the bedside. "I bought you some clothes, ties, and a pair of shoes. Now, you're not allowed to dislike them!"
"Let me take a look." Jayden grabbed the bag as if it was the first time he had received a gift. He quickly took out the items from the bag. To be honest, this woman was usually foolish, but her taste in clothes was quite good. They all suited his taste!
Seeing his indifferent expression, Silvia was worried that he did not like them. However, she did not want to give up that easily. "Jayden, I'm warning you. If you dare to dislike them, I'll never buy anything for you again."
Jayden raised his eyebrows and said, "Let me try them on."
Silvia's brows lit up with joy upon hearing this. "You want to try them on?"
Jayden glared at her and grumbled, "How should I know if they fit if I don't try them on?"
Silvia broke into a grin. "Then go ahead. I'll wait outside. Call me when you're done changing."
Jayden pulled her back and said, "Help me."
Hearing this, Silvia was speechless. "You' re not a three-year-old child. Do you really need me to change your clothes for you?"
Jayden replied in a matter-of-fact tone, "I am a sickly patient."
"Fine. Since you're a patient, I'll do whatever you say." Silvia felt that he was so bossy! Jayden was using his illness as an excuse to bully her more than he did in Madison City.
Jayden was anxious and wanted to try on the clothes she had bought for him. He urged, "What are you waiting for?"
"How can I help you put them on if you don't take your clothes off?"
Jayden opened his arms and said, "Help me take them off."
Huh! What a bossy man! Silvia was about to get angry as she said, "Jayden, if you want to try them on, do it. If you don't want to, then forget about it."
He was sick, not disabled.
Silvia was about to leave when Jayden's expression darkened. He uttered,"You don’t have a conscience at all."
"Conscience? What do you mean by conscience?" Silvia used what she had heard from Karen Joy earlier that day and immediately applied it. "Don't you know that I truly have no conscience?"
