Disabled CEO’s New Wife

“Jay, I thought I saw something in the tent just now. Can you take a look for me?”

Rosemary was a girl after all. She was still scared of the snakes, the worms, and the ants.

“Okay, Miss Harris.”

Jay had a stick in his hand and looked carefully inside.

“Wow!”

Rosemary was startled by Jay’s scream. Jay was holding a thumb-sized snake with its tail wrapped around his arm.

“No…”

“How dare you catch it?” Rosemary stepped back in horror.

Jay scratched the back of his head. “I grew up in the countryside. It wasn’t that hard for me.”

The snake was sticking out its tongue at her, and her hair stood up with fear.

“Jay, what should we do about the snake?” Looking at that smooth snake, Rosemary felt sick all over.

Jay picked up a larger rock from the ground and hit the snake hard on the head. He killed the snake in a few hits.

Looking at the snake on the ground, Jay murmured, “This is really strange. The tent is sprinkled with sulfur powder. How did the snake get in?”

Looked like he was gonna have to go back and get some more powder and a little more on this side.

“Miss Harris, I’ll go over there and get some sulfur powder and help you sprinkle a little more here, so no snakes would get in.”

Rosemary was still scared. She said, “Jay, can you check again for me and see if there’s anything else.”

“Okay!”

Jay knew girls were scared of this stuff. If Rosemary hadn’t discovered something was wrong in there, she’d be the one getting hurt right now.

Jay felt his neck chill at the thought.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Jay went inside and searched it twice more carefully. He made sure there was nothing in it before he came out.

“Miss Harris, there is nothing else inside.”

Rosemary confirmed that there was really nothing inside, then smiled and said, “Thank you, Jay!”

When Jay saw nothing was wrong, he went back backstage to help.

Tina came to the door of her mother’s ward. The air was filled with the strong smell of disinfectant.

She gently opened the door and looked at her mother lying quietly on the bed, tears rolling in her eyes.

She held her mother’s hand, stuck it on her face and murmured, “Mom, you need to get better, we can’t live without you!”

“Mom!”

Tina was lying on the bed, wondering what to do now.

“Tina!”

Justin Baker stood in the doorway of the hospital room and looked at his sister, his eyes red.

Tina quickly dried her tears and turned to Justin and said, “Justin, what are you doing here?”

“What’s wrong with Mom?” Justin went to the window and looked at his sleeping mother.

Tina forced a smile and said, “Mom’s all right. She’s just too tired. She’ll be all right after a little sleep.”

“Is it true?” Justin looked at Tina in disbelief.

Tina smiled, “Why should I lie to you?”

Justin didn’t believe Tina. “Then why were you crying?”

“No! I just got sand in my eyes.” With that, Tina wiped her eyes.

Justin didn’t ask again. He walked to his hospital bed and whispered, “Mom, I’m Justin. You need to get well soon, and then help me cook the food. Otherwise, if I lose weight, you can’t scold me when you wake up!”

Tina put her hand over her mouth, afraid to cry in case Justin knew the truth.

But Tina didn’t know that her brother already knew the truth about their parents’ illness. But he told himself again and again that he was the only man in the family and he couldn’t cry.

“Tina, you stay here and watch Mommy. I’ll go check on Daddy!” Justin said and walked to the door.

Looking at her eight-year-old brother, Tina suddenly realized that her brother had grown up a lot.

Tina sat down on the chair by the bed. She took the bag and counted all her money. It was less than fifteen thousand. The family savings had long been used up by them. Now that mom and Dad were both sick, where was she going to find the money to pay the hospital bills?

She decided to go to the tollbooth first and ask how much the total would be.

“Hello, I’d like to know the total charge for room 308 and room 309.” Tina asked the toll collector.

The cashier looked it up on the computer and said with a smile, “Mr. Meyer has already paid for the two wards and deposited a million dollars in it.”

Tina didn’t expect Vincent to take care of everything for her. Now she owed him more and more.

Her mother’s doctor came up to Tina and said, “Hi, Miss Baker. I was just looking for you.”

“Doctor, is that my dad’s test report?” Tina asked quickly.

The attending doctor coughed a little and said apologetically, “Yes, the examination report has just arrived. Here’s your father’s report. You want to see it first?”

“Doctor, just tell me, because whatever it is, I can handle it.”

He really didn’t know how to tell Tina such a cruel truth.

“Your father was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer, but fortunately, it was caught early, and if treated, it could prolong his life.”

Tina listened to the doctor and nodded. She didn’t even know how she made it back to the room.

Tina’s tears dried up as she looked at her father with gauze. All she needed was to sell the house and treat her father with the best chemotherapies.

“Dad, you have to be strong. We can’t live without you.”

“Dad, I’ll take care of Mom and Justin, and you need to get better.”

Tina sat in front of her father’s bed with no blood on her pale face.

“Tina, mom is awake and she wants you to come!”

Said Justin, skinny and standing in the doorway.

Tina ran quickly to the door of her mother’s room.

“Mom, how are you feeling? Is there anything wrong with you?” Tina asked anxiously.

Her mother, with oxygen on her nose, opened her eyes slowly, “Tina, I’m dying. You have to take care of Justin and your dad!”

“Mom, don’t talk,” Tina said. “I’ll go to the doctor now. You’ll be fine.”

Tina stood up to call a doctor. Her mother grabbed her arm and said weakly, “No, Tina!”

“Justin, come here!” Her mother beckoned to Justin Baker, who was standing in the doorway.

Justin was afraid to step forward because he was afraid that if he stood there, his mother would leave him and his sister forever.

With tears in her eyes, Tina turned her head and shouted, “Justin, Mom is calling you.”

Justin shook his head furiously, not daring to take a step forward.

“Coughing…”

Her mother suddenly coughed violently. Tina hurriedly took the tissue beside her to wipe her mother’s mouth.

Justin looked at his mother, who was coughing all the time, and suddenly ran outside.

“Justin…”
