Jimmy looked at Jasper and sobbed even h-rder. “Dad… I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to. I acci…,” before he could finish talking, Jasper shouted at him.

“Shut up! Just shut up, okay! I warned you not to do this, didn’t I? If you say another word, I’ll slap you. You spoilt brat!”

Lena looked down at Jimmy and asked,“ What’s your father saying about warning you earlier?” Jimmy kept quiet and didn’t say a word. He just looked down and kept on crying.

“Why don’t you tell your aunt huh? I seized your phone and other devices cause of this plan which I clearly warned you not to do. It’s obvious that you don’t respect me as your father!,” Jasper told him looking very angry.

“No papa… I didn’t…,” he couldn’t finish his explanation cause Jasper interrupted once again.

“You are grounded till further notice and don’t even think of begging me for those devices!,” he told Jimmy.

Jimmy just glared at Sharon hatefully and ran out of the room. He said something before leaving. “I wish mama was here!,” he cried out and left.

Jasper sighed and looked down wondering if he was too harsh on him just now but as soon as he remembered how Sharon was trembling when they brought her out of the bathroom, he became angry again.

“Brother don’t you think you were too harsh just now? He’s just a child. He made a mistake please forgive him,” Lena tried to plead.

“No, infact I think I’ve been too lenient with him nowadays,” Jasper replied, then he went over to Sharon and gently carried her on his laps with great difficulty. Lena watched him as he steered the wheelchair out.

Thankfully, his wheelchair has buttons that could help him in steering it automatically if it becomes to difficult for him to do manually.

“Inform me when the doctor is here or better still, direct her to my room,” Jasper said before leaving. Lena also walked out and went to check on Tia. The only person that has no worries amidst all these troubles.

As soon as Jasper dropped Sharon on the bed, he brought out his phone to google search for anything he can do to help before the doctor arrive.

He went to the bathroom and came back with a bowl filled with water. He looked around for a clean napkin and put in the water. Then he slowly begin to wipe her forehead with the w-t napkin.

He did it few more times, going to and fro to change the water. When he finished, he looked so exhausted from steering his wheelchair to and fro.

By the time he finally checked her temperature again, he was a little bit pleased to see the it isn’t as high and raging hot like before.

That was when someone knocked and he ushered them in. It’s Lena carrying Tia and a lady dressed like a doctor following her. It’s one of their family doctors.

She smiled seeing Jasper again. He really hasn’t change. The accident didn’t even do any injustice to his looks at all as he still looks as handsome and refined than ever.

“Hello Ann, it’s nice to meet you once again. I’m actually surprised cause I thought it was possibly your mother that would come but you have graced us with your presence,” Jasper said with a charming smile.

Ann returned the smile as she felt her heartbeats quicken once again. How many years has it been? So many years has passed and her heart still acts this way towards him. Immediately they sent a message to their hospital, she quickly volunteered to come instead of her mother.

She would do anything just to see him and experience that blissful feeling in her heart that only seem to happen whenever she’s close to him.

She looked at Jasper, at Tia then at Lena feeling puzzled. If all of them are hale and healthy, why did they call for a doctor like something urgent happened? She still hasn’t noticed Sharon yet.

“Here, come over and check her Ann. She actually had a cold but she seemed to be fine this morning until now that she started running a high temperature,” Jasper said, looking worried as he made way for Ann to get to Sharon.

Ann looked a little bit surprised to see Sharon. She looked at her wondering who the strange lady is and why… Why Jasper sounds worried. She covered her stunned expression with a smile and hurriedly went over to check Sharon’s temperature.

She checked the thermometer and noticed her temperature is below 107°c but not as high as Jasper predicted. It’s simply lower than the normal temperature a normal human being is supposed to have.

“She’s having a low grade fever. This is one of the symptoms of a common cold. But it’s nothing serious. She’ll be fine,” Ann told Jasper.

She brought out a note and wrote down the list of drugs they are expected to get for her. “Ann, can I trouble you to stay here for just a day? You can leave tomorrow and I’ll pay you for the overtime. I don’t just feel too good about you leaving when she’s still in this condition,” Jasper told her.

Ann once again looked at Sharon with conflicting expressions in her eyes. Who the heck is this lady to make the nation’s husband worry so much for her? Even during the time when Amber was still alive and fallen sick.

She had followed her mother here all because she wanted to see Jasper but she had never seen him worry so much about Amber like he’s doing now.

Who’s this strange woman that Jasper is showing a terrifying amount of care to her? She simply smiled again and said,“No problem.” Even though the words that really wanted to come out from her mouth is ‘Who is she?.’

She looked at Lena and asked,“Can I carry Tia?” “Of course,” Lena answered as she handed Tia over to Ann. As soon as Tia saw the unfamiliar face, she whined and looked like she was about to cry.

But Ann began to coo at her and sang sweet rhymes to her. Soon enough the baby was giggling so sweetly to the sounds Ann was making. Ann looked at Jasper expecting him to be watching her handle his daughter.

But instead he’s stroking Sharon’s hands lovingly. She frowned and faced the baby. Even if her father doesn’t like her, the baby seem to like her.

Soon Lena came back with a bag of all the required medicines. By the time she arranged it on the bedside drawer, Jasper was already panicking wondering how he’s gonna give Sharon the medicine since she’s still asleep.

He was still thinking when Sharon slowly opened her eyes and gro-ned,“My head aches. It hurts alot.” Jasper quickly help her sit up on the bed. Lena and Ann watched them.

“How do you feel now?,” Jasper asked in a soft tone suprising Ann. She’s used to his cold billionaire character not to this sweet, caring Jasper in front of her.

“I don’t feel too good. Did you switch on the A/Ccause I’m feeling cold,” Sharon whined pouting sadly. Lena looked at her wondering what she’s saying. The AC isn’t even on at all and she’s feeling cold when everyone else thinks there’s heat.

“No, I didn’t. Take your medicine so you’ll feel much better. I don’t like the way you are sick,” Jasper answered as he carried the first medicine she’s supposed to take.

Ann’s hold on Tia loosened a bit as she watched and hear Jasper act so lovingly. Please o, don’t let our baby Tia fall down cause of your jealousy.

Sharon stared at the medicine and turned her face away,“I’m not tasting that bitter thing. I don’t want to.” Jasper looked at her completely speechless. Are medicines supposed to be sweet?

Why is she throwing tantrums like a child? He looked at her and tried to coerce her by speaking softly to her like a baby,“Sharon, you have to take this medicine. It’s good for your health. Don’t you want your cold to leave? I promise I’ll buy your favourite ice cream for you if you take this.”

Sharon glared at her. He should try again cause bribing her with her favourite ice cream won’t work. She simply ignored him and refused to look at him.

Jasper sighed and told her with a fake stern look,“If you don’t take this medicine right now, I’ll be forced to feed you with my mouth.”

Sharon glared at him with an expression that says YOU-WOULDN’T-DARE. Little does she know that what Jasper likes the most is when someone challenges him.

So he put the bitter pills in his mouth, added water and pulled her closer before finally k-ssing her not minding the other occup-nts in the room.
