A voice that was sexier than a news anchor. Rose could recognize the man from his voice, and she turned around in shock before staring blankly at Jay who had appeared out of nowhere.
"Sir Ares?" Her shocked eyes were as wide as big bells, looking at him in disbelief. "Why are you here?"
Jay stood still in front of her. Only a day had passed, and she was now thin and haggard in front of him. Her pair of chubby and cheerful cheeks had thinned a lot.
His heart ached.
Jay’s gaze shifted to Old Master Severe who was lying on the bed. His memory of an energetic and spirited old man had been replaced with one of a man that had no energy left in his muscles and was suffering from endless depression.
"You want to save him?" Jay looked at Rose.
Rose nodded.
Uneasiness filled her heart. Jay was a man with meticulous thoughts. If he decided to probe further and ask as to why she wanted to save Old Master Severe, how was she going to answer him?
"Rose, marry me, and I'll save him," Jay solemnly announced as he looked at the determination in her
eyes.
He did not want to take advantage of her when she was in trouble. However, he was a businessman, and h e knew that a missed opportunity would never return.
He did not have the courage to go through losing her again.
Rose stared at him.
She did not understand why he would make such an offer when he hated her so much?
What was the meaning of marriage to him?
She understood that businessmen were always on the lookout for profits. What profit would he gain from marrying her?
The doctor looked at Jay and chuckled.
"Mister, Old Master Severe's illness is an unresolved mystery for the medical fraternity. You don't look like someone who lacks money, but I have to remind you that life and health are two things money can’t buy."
Jay's cold gaze swept across the doctor’s face. "You’re right. That's why no other place has a chance of creating a miracle for Old Master Severe’s condition other than Grand Asia Medical Center."
