Chapter 735: Chapter 735: Are You Proposing to Me (2)
"Go to sleep," Moses whispered, then began to ascend the stairs.
Standing at the foot of the stairs and watching him disappear step by step into the stairwell, Jessica let out a long sigh.
Only when Moses’s footsteps had faded away at the top of the stairs did she turn her gaze back to Paul.
"How is the gentleman’s health, really?"
"Dr. William just called; he has consulted several cardiac experts to study the gentleman’s case. He will call me when the results are in."
"When will that be?"
Paul raised his wrist to check his watch, "Dr. William said it could take about two to three hours, so around three o’clock or thereabouts."
"Let me know when the results come in; I’ll go upstairs to organize some documents." Jessica gathered the documents from the table and climbed the stairs.
...
...
The hotel.
When Huangfu Jue returned to the hotel from the hospital, it was already one in the morning.
Will, who was guarding outside Gan Yuan and Gan Tang’s room, immediately stood up from his chair to meet him.
"Miss and the little prince are inside; they should be asleep."
Huangfu Jue nodded, gently pushed the door open, and walked in. The living room floor lamp was on, Gan Yuan leaning against the couch, covered with a blanket, clearly asleep.
He gently closed the door and cautiously approached her. Just as he was about to lift her into bed, Gan Yuan woke with a start, reaching for the gun nearby.
Huangfu Jue rushed to grasp her wrist, "Don’t panic, it’s me!"
"Ajue..." Gan Yuan put the gun aside, "You’re back, how did it go?"
"Don’t worry about it, get some sleep." Huangfu Jue took the gun from her hand and set it aside, then wrapped his arm around her to draw her close, and Gan Yuan wrapped her arms around his neck, "What’s your plan for explaining this to your people?"
Her tone carried a hint of resignation.
Things had happened so suddenly, she hadn’t had time to think it through and instinctively rushed to protect him. With so many eyes at the banquet, they couldn’t lie anymore.
She sat on the couch waiting for him to return, to discuss a strategy with him.
Huangfu Jue looked down at her intently, "Tell the truth."
"But..."
"You said it before, that everyone makes mistakes and should have the chance to correct them," Huangfu Jue gazed at her warmly, "I believe that my people will understand that their leader has chosen an exceptional woman. I trust they will get that."
Gan Yuan pursed her lips, hugged his neck tighter, and nestled her face into his neck.
The man didn’t speak either, just hugged her closer, cheek to cheek.
From their separation to their reunion, they had been through so much in such little time; only they knew the tumult of emotions in their hearts at this moment.
It took a while before Gan Yuan spoke softly.
"Ajue, there’s something I want to discuss with you."
"Speak."
"I want to... continue the campaign," she bit her lip, "It was a promise to Moses, a debt I owe him, and... I think this is the only way I can change the current situation. I never want to leave you again, so I want to stand by your side openly and rightfully."
The separation had made it even clearer to her: this man was the bond she could never relinquish in her heart.
Such a separation was too painful, too unbearable...
For Gan Yuan, the campaign was an extremely important stepping stone.
