A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure

Chapter 388: There Is Something Wrong with the Milk

Bonnie stutters, "Doc-doctor?"

Justin replies with a smile, "Please open the door. I'll go in and take a look at her."

"I'm afraid that's inappropriate." Fearing that he would find out the birth control pills in Jessie's milk, she

tries her best to stop him. "It's not appropriate for a male doctor to check where Miss Jessie got injured.

Why don't you give me the medicine?"

"I don't need to check. I will just ask her." Justin spares his courtesies. "Get out of the way."

Bonnie is afraid giving out more information if she keeps stopping him. Moreover, he is Mr. Leigh's

friend.

She has no choice but to open the door and invite Justin in. She wants to see if Jessie finishes her

meal and then takes the plate, only to find that Jessie doesn't drink the milk at all.

"You can go out. I don't like to be interrupted at work," Justin says to Bonnie.

"Then, I'll take the plate." Bonnie looks at the glass of milk, growing anxious. "Miss Jessie, is today's

breakfast not to your liking? Let me change it for you."

Justin stops Bonnie and smiles. "Just leave it here. She needs something sweet after a blood draw."

Bonnie wants to say something, but Justin adds, "Please go out now."

Bonnie can only walk out in fear.

Only when he is alone with Jessie does he realizes that she is skinny and pale-cheeked, looking quite

different from before.

She even gets bruises all over.

"Leigh is..." Justin wants to say something, but he is aware that he shouldn't be a meddler. He shakes

his head and opens the medical kit.

He asks Jessie, "Can I take your blood for an examination?"

Jessie purses her lips silently and stretches out her hand.

Justin pricks her index finger with a blood taking needle and drips her blood on the analyzer.

Within less than ten seconds, the instrument finishes the analysis of Jessie's physical condition.

After reading the report, Justin says to her, "You're in good health but has anemia and malnutrition, so

don't skip meals and particularly, eat more meat."

He chatters on, but Jessie remains silent. Seeing this, he rubs his eyebrows. "You don't want to talk to

me because of Leigh?"

Jessie shakes her head.

"Then why the silence when I talked to you?" Justin asks in puzzlement.

Jessie walks to the bedside table for a pen and notebook. She writes and then shows it to him. "There

is a problem with my voice, so I can't speak."

"Did you get tonsillitis?"

Seeing Jessie shake her head again, Justin touches her throat and asks, "Does this hurt? When did

you lose your voice? Did it hurt at that time?"

Jessie writes again, "I can't talk anymore after catching a cold."

"That's just a cold and has nothing to do with your vocal cords." Justin catches a glimpse of the milk on

the table and immediately knows something at the thought of how flustered Bonnie was just now.

He takes out a few bottles of medicine from the kit.

After making up Jessie's prescription, he gives it to her and says, "When you get up every day, drink

some of this in warm water. If you still can't speak in a week, ask the servant to call me."

Jessie smiles bitterly as if she doesn't want it, but she takes it, anyway.

Justin gives her another two boxes of ointment. Seeing that it's getting late, he starts to pack up the

medical kit. Before leaving, he pours some milk into the bottle and brings it with him.

Bonnie has been waiting outside.

Seeing Justin walk out, she comes up and asks, "Is Miss Jessie alright?"

"You don't hope so?" Justin asks.

"That's not what I meant." Bonnie explains hastily with her head down. "We are all worried about Miss

Jessie."

"That's good to know." Justin smiles. "You're the servant while Jessie is the master. You are getting

paid and your duty is to take good care of her. I will come here again on Wednesday."

" ... Yes." Bonnie is frightened and breaks out in a cold sweat.

After coming out of the villa, Justin calls Leigh and tells him Jessie's test results. "She's fine, but a little

anemic and malnourished."

"You prescribed medicine for her?"

"Yes." Justin pauses for a moment and cannot help persuading him, "Leigh, she's just a woman.

Locking her up in your house and torturing her is also torturing yourself. Do you think it's necessary?"

Leigh's tone became serious. "I just asked you to see her. Anything else is no concern of yours!"

Justin says, "I'm just caring about you as your buddy. She has parents who love her. But look at how

she is suffering from your torture now."

Leigh doesn't want to listen to him and hangs up directly.

Justin is angry but helpless.

--

Leigh spends some time dealing with the death of Mr. Clay and the others with nothing found. There

was a detention for investigation and release within two days.

After that, the matter is water under the bridge.

A month later, Leigh finishes his busy work and drives to Tourmaline Community in the evening.

With the lesson from last time, seeing him come back, Jana does not dare to throw herself into his

arms. She only follows him and asks him with concern if he has been busy and what he wants to eat

tonight.

Leigh replies impatiently, "Can't you be quiet? Do you want me to set up a stage for you to sing?"

"Then I won't say anything." Jana smiles embarrassedly, with a sense of resentment.

She thought that Leigh would get Jessie out of here after quarreling with her. But he let her stay and

even asks a friend to come and see her!

Half an hour later, the servants get dinner ready. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Leigh thinks of what Justin has said that day and says to a servant, "Go call her down for dinner!"

The servants and Jana are stunned, wondering if they have hearing problems.

Only after Leigh repeats it does Bonnie hurry upstairs.

In less than a minute, Bonnie comes down and carefully says to Leigh, "Mr. Leigh, Miss Jessie is

painting. She didn't bother to answer me. It seems that she doesn't want to come down."

Leigh flings his chopsticks on the table. His face darkens. "Does she want to starve to death?"

He rushes upstairs in a fit of anger.

After arriving at the third floor, Leigh tries to suppress his anger and opens the bedroom door.

Seeing Jessie sitting by the window and drawing, he walks up to her and pulls her up in an attempt to

drag her out. "Go down and eat!"

Jessie doesn't want to talk to him at all. She shakes off his hand and continues to sort out the easel.

"Jessie, what the hell do you want?" The more silent and stubborn she is, the more furious Leigh

becomes. Seeing that she doesn't look at him at all, he directly pulls off the easel and throws it out.

There are some framed and cloth-covered paintings piled up neatly in the corner. With the crash of the

easel, they fall one after another.

Jessie runs over quickly, her hands groping in a pile of paintings.

Leigh is in anger. Seeing that she doesn't bother to talk to him and only cares about the paintings, and

even holds one with sunflowers, his rage soars to a point beyond control.

He strides over, snatches the painting from her hand, and removes the frame.

Jessie seems to be aware of what he is doing and rushes over to grab the painting.

"Do you care about this painting? Do you really like it?" Leigh sneers and raised his hands to tear it

apart. Jessie is shocked and only stares at him blankly.
