Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 1240

Chapter 1240 Paint a Happy Future

Stefanie was silent for a while before uttering, "Isn't she still unaware of it? Since you are already with her, just make up for it in the future. She obviously doesn't remember anything, so why do you have to tell her now? What can be changed by showing me your temper?"

Alex also didn't know the point of losing his temper with his mother.

However, guilt, worry, distress, and all the negative emotions came to him one after another, making him restless.

He didn't know what else he could do for Jewel!

Then, he said weakly, "Don't you think we are bullying her right now? Bullying her because she doesn't remember anything. Every time I see her, I feel so guilty, but I dare not say anything. I'm afraid that by telling her the truth, I won't even have a chance to see her again."

Stefanie brought the phone closer and looked at him in distress. "Okay. I know you feel sorry for her, but if Jewel remembers everything one day, I promise to apologize to her. Is that okay? Now that she doesn't remember anything, it would only cause her more problems if she knew. Are you able to give up on her? If not, then why don't you just take the chance to treat her right?"

Alex sighed weakly. Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from the door, so he hung up the call in a panic.

Indeed, his original intention was to hide the past because he couldn't bear the consequences of losing her.

However, if he didn't do something, he would feel even more apologetic to her.

The door of the room opened, and Jewel walked in with a bowl of medicine to find Alex's reddened eyes.

She immediately looked away before a thought came into her mind: Stefanie felt bad seeing her injured son, so when Alex saw his mother crying, his eyes reddened.

No matter what, a mother and child just had a special connection.

Perhaps one day, Stefanie might come over to check on her injured son.

In fact, she couldn't help blaming herself for being the reason Alex got injured. He was hurt because he wanted to help her investigate her past.

She tried her best to smile and said, "It's time to take your medicine. I made it myself!"

Alex's impression of making medicine was the traditional way of boiling it. It would be done on a few stoves with different types of herbs in each pot. Frowning, he asked, "Why do you have to make the medicine yourself?"

Jewel chuckled and replied, "It's boiled by a cooker. I just watched it from the side."

Alex retorted, "That counts as you making it yourself. Don't tire yourself out anymore, alright? You just have to stay by my side. I will take care of you when I get better."

Jewel responded obediently, "Okay. Drink up now." Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Without taking the bowl, he looked at her with a smile. "Why don't you feed me?"

Jewel frowned slightly and gave him an eye roll. "How old are you?"

Alex looked at her and grinned. "My hands are weak."

Again?

Earlier, he had the strength to yank her down and forcefully kiss her, but now, he was whining about not having the strength to hold a bowl?

Did he think she was easy to fool?

Jewel murmured complaints silently in her heart, but she couldn't bear to ignore him.

Eventually, she held the medicine bowl and brought it close to his lips.

Then, a movie scene popped up in her mind: a woman holding a bowl of medicine said to a man lying on the sick bed, "Sir, it's time to have your medicine."

She burst out laughing suddenly, and the bowl in her hand started shaking.

Alex looked at the woman who was chuckling uncontrollably, and he felt his heart soften. A look of doting bloomed on his face.

"Jean, you look good when you smile."

Jewel was slightly surprised. Why did he call her Jean again?

Seemingly reading her thoughts, Alex explained, "Your current name was given by Damian, but your real name is Jean Louis."

Jewel replied in realization, "It's just a name. You can call me whatever you like."

Alex knew that she had forgotten about the past and was not familiar with the name Jean Louis. She felt like she was listening to someone else's life whenever the name was mentioned and she couldn't empathize with these experiences, so she didn't mind what her real name was.

Taking her hand in his, he uttered, "I hope that I'll be able to paint a future filled with happiness for you with my own hands."

Jewel chuckled, "Alright, alright. It's time to have your medicine, sir."
