Chapter 769 Fated To Be Together
All the windows in the steering room were broken, and Jasper’s body was covered in glass fragments and blood, so was the floor.
He must have been injured when the first cannon hit, and he probably had been holding on till then.
In the end, he set the yacht to auto-sail back home before he fainted.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Stella’s heart ached.
Although that man was not good with his words, did not like to talk, and was cold to people, he still had a great sense of responsibility.
Gracie was also in the steering room, whining as its master was injured.
Stella didn’t have time to hesitate. She ran back to the back of the yacht and took the first aid kit on top of the refrigerator.
“Stella, did something happen to Black?” Allen asked worriedly.
“He is seriously injured. I’m going to give him emergency treatment now. Come and help me,” Stella said as she immediately ran to the steering room.
Three hours later.
Jasper woke up. The scene of him in the sea flashed through his mind, and he sat up in a panic, “Stella.”
Stella breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him waking up. “The doctor has given you a full-body examination. Fortunately, you didn’t injure your head, but you have too many wounds on your body and have lost a lot of blood. You need to rest well.”
“Are you injured?” Jasper asked worriedly.
Stella shook her head, “When you set the yacht to return home, the officials came and arrested all those people. Vann is interrogating them now.”
When he learned that the official ship came in the end, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, “It’s good that you’re not injured.”
Stella smiled slightly.
Even though he had lost consciousness due to loss of blood, the first thing he cared about was still someone else.
“I don’t think that you should stay on your yacht for the time being. On one hand, it’s too far, so it’s not convenient for you to commute to work. Secondly, we still don’t know if the Whiterobe Sect still has other members out there. If you stay on your yacht, they might retaliate against you. You should live with me for the time being. It’ll be more convenient for you to commute to work, and it’s a good place for you to recover. My friend has asthma, so Gracie’s fur might not be good for him. I’ll build a doghouse in the backyard so Gracie can stay there. That should work, right?” Stella explained in detail.
Jasper stared at Stella with gentle eyes, and he said in a strange tone, “Do you always invite other people to live in your house?”
Stella also thought that it was a bit abrupt to invite him, but after all, they were friends in trouble this time. He was trustable, and since he protected them, she also wanted to do something to pay back the favor.
“Not very often, but sometimes I will. If it’s not convenient for you, I will pay for whichever hotel you want to stay at,” Stella said in a bold and generous tone.
“I like your place quite much. It’s pretty peaceful,” Jasper said.
Stella smiled slightly, “Have a rest first. It’s too late for you to cook today. I’ll go out and buy some food for you.”
“They are just superficial wounds, so there’s no need for me to stay in the hospital. I don’t like the hospitals either. I’ll leave with you,” Jasper said in a deep voice.
“Although your wounds are superficial, it will not be good if you develop a fever after the wound gets infected. Actually, I was once a doctor before. If you trust me, I will bring back all the medicine and set up the IV drip for you at home. Is that okay?” Stella asked.
“Alright,” Jasper stood up.
There were more than a dozen wounds on his body, and he could feel burning pain all over his body when he moved.
“You have countless small wounds, and there are twelve big wounds on you. It’s better to rest in bed for three days and not move too much until after they’ve healed,” Stella suggested.
“I’m a man, I’m not that weak. No matter how big the wound is, it can’t be bigger than three centimeters. Let’s go,” Jasper said.
“Give me ten minutes, I’ll get the medicine,” Stella replied.
“Sure.”
When Stella went out, Jasper looked around and found that Allen was not there.
Surely, Allen’s asthma was very serious and the hospital wouldn’t be too good for him either, so it wouldn’t be suitable for him to come over.
However, because of this incident, he could stay in Stella’s house. Was God by his side?
Stella came back shortly after with a large plastic bag and said, “Let’s go.”
…
Stella took him home first. Allen was there, and he was stunned for a moment when he saw Jasper coming over. He let out a faint smile, saying, “I went to a restaurant owned by people from A Country and bought back some food. They are in the kitchen.”
“Thank you, Allen, you’re so thoughtful. I’m sorry about today. I wanted to bring you to have fun, but I ended up causing you to worry,” Stella said.
“I think it’s good to be able to experience such a thing together with you. It will surely be something I won’t forget for the rest of my life,” Allen said with a smile as he looked at Jasper.
He then added, “Black, you should take a seat. I’ll go to the kitchen to warm the dishes and bring them for you.”
“No, just leave it to me,” Stella said, then went to the kitchen. The dishes there were all familiar to her as they were A Country’s dishes.
Fish and chips with peas, black pudding, scotch eggs, and shepherd’s pie to name a few.
Those dishes were easy to heat.
“Allen, are you able to eat these?” Stella asked.
“Yeah, they’re fine,” Allen said with a smile.
Stella thought for a moment and remembered that there were some fruits and tomatoes in the refrigerator, as well as the steak that she had bought a long time ago, which was in the freezer.
She took them out, made a simple fruit salad, and cut the steak into strips before baking it in the oven. With that, everyone had something to eat.
Those two dishes also suited Allen’s taste.
Half an hour later, she finished all the dishes and took them out.
She realized that Allen was emotionally intelligent and good at speaking. He would always consider other people’s feelings first before doing something.
On the other hand, Jasper was naturally reserved and didn’t like to talk. However, he was still a warm person inside. When the two of them sat together, she didn’t expect the two of them to be so peaceful and harmonious.
“Let’s dig in,” she said to them.
Allen followed Stella into the kitchen and said, “Black, you’re injured. Have a seat first. I’m going to help Stella serve the dishes.”
“How long will he be staying here?” Allen asked Stella casually.
“At least until he recovers. Plus, the matter of the Whiterobe Sect has not been completely solved yet, so he can’t possibly go back to his yacht. This incident only happened to him because we wanted to fish at the sea. So, I’ll let him stay here for as long as he wants. My house is large and spacious anyway, so it won’t even be a problem if more than dozens of people wanted to stay here,” Stella explained.
“But he’s a man,” Allen said softly.
Stella looked at him in amusement, “Aren’t you one too?”
“That’s not what I meant. I’m just afraid that someone will gossip about it and it will affect your reputation,” Allen said.
Stella chuckled. “It’s precisely because people place too much importance on other people’s opinions that they trouble and put pressure on themselves. However, for me, I place more importance on my own thinking. Furthermore, what do other people’s opinions have to do with me? As long as I know that I’m innocent, magnanimous, and have a clear conscience.”
Stella patted Allen on the shoulder.
Allen also smiled and said, “That makes a lot of sense. You really are a psychologist.”
After Stella went out, Allen’s smile faded away.
Could it be that she was fated to be with Jasper?
