Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

“Let them stay. You could just give them something to do, like, researching the brain. Plus, it doesn’t just have to be on my brain,” Jasper proposed.

Stella was enlightened. “Why didn’t I think of that? That benefits everyone. I’m sure that Bellamy will agree to it, I should tell him now in case I forget about it later. After giving birth to Sandro, my memory isn’t as good as before.”

“Mm,” Jasper replied. As he said this, it was as if there was a dark cloud hovering above his eyes. However, Stella did not seem to notice it…

She dialed Bellamy’s number. He picked up just after three rings. Speaking in a gentle tone, he said, “Stella, what’s wrong?”

“Here’s the thing. Since Jasper has woken up, what are the doctors suppose to do now?” Stella asked.

“I have a lot on my plate these days, I didn’t have the time to think if I should let them go. What do you think?” Bellamy said as he flipped through his files.

“Well, you were the one who brought these experts here, so we could allow them to stay in the base and continue their research. Maybe they might find something that could make an impact in the medical field.”

“Sure, but there’s no rush. Their current responsibility is still Jasper, and I don’t want anything to happen to him. My wish is to see him grow healthy and old with you. Don’t worry, I won’t dismiss them for the time being. I could still afford to pay them for a few more years.”Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Bellamy understood what she meant. He was too busy to care about something so trivial.

Sensing the urgency in the tone of his voice, Stella knew she shouldn’t keep him on the phone too long. “You should get back to work.”

“Call me if you need anything,” Bellamy said and hung up.

Stella looked at Jasper.

Jasper looked at her with a deep gaze. His face was emotionless and as cold as ice.

“Bellamy said that he isn’t planning to let them go for the time being, but he has a lot on his plate at the moment. He said that we’ll talk about their research next time. Their job, for now, is just to take care of you and make sure everything goes well,” Stella explained to Jasper.

Jasper didn’t say anything, instead, he just stared ahead.

Stella pushed Jasper to the movie room beside the library. They could watch their movie there comfortably on a sofa.

While she was choosing a movie, Jasper dragged himself off the wheelchair and onto the sofa.

Stella chose ‘The South’, one of the hottest movies in the cinema when he was in a coma.

She had already watched this movie. The movie took place in the sixties and focused on people from the village who traveled to the city for work. After experiencing the harsh, cruel reality of city life, some returned home to become farmers. One ended up in prison, another got the flu, some got married, one even became a prostitute at a club, but a few did make it big at work.

The movie portrayed the simple but accurate reality of life.

The movie followed the lives of several characters. Helen was the beauty of the village, Flora was your ordinary girl next door, but she was hard-working and driven; Matt was the typical hunk, he was Helen’s boyfriend; Tommy was the loser who also liked Helen.

But in the end, Helen ended up working at a club. Not only did she get sick, but she also became a prostitute. She didn’t like Tommy, but Tommy was one of her frequent customers.

Initially, Flora wanted to be with Tommy. However, after learning that he had something going on with Helen, she left Tommy for a man in the city. She lived a simple, warm, and happy life.

As for Matt, all the years of betrayal and financial pressure took a toll on him. He ended up becoming a swindler.

It was a movie that would make one think.

Stella rested her head on Jasper’s shoulder.

Jasper held her hand in response.

Watching a movie alone was interesting, but watching it with someone else, was like a party. Just like that, amid the silence with Jasper by her side, Stella felt very calm and at ease.

The movie lasted for an hour and a half, and it was almost 10 p. m. when it ended.

Stella looked at Jasper, and Jasper looked back at her. As they locked gazes in the silence, a sense of intimacy lingered in the air.

She found this very romantic. It felt good when he looked at her like this, so good that she could forget about all the pain and misfortune she had been through before.

“Do you know how happy I am?” Stella smiled like a naive child. “I’m so glad that we have people around us who care about us. That’s the only reason we’re here today.”

Jasper stroked her head and gestured, “I’m sorry.”

Stella shook her head and her eyes watered. “You haven’t done anything wrong. We can’t fight our destiny, and not everyone is invincible. Perhaps this is the life we were meant for. Even the strongest of men will break under great pressure. Luckily for us, we pulled through and pushed forward. I guess miracles do happen, right?”

Stella started breaking down.

When she thought he was dead, she was filled with sadness. Each day felt like living hell, the pain in her heart messed with her head. All along, she couldn’t help but wonder what was the point in living like that.

Perhaps, she had finally found her answer. Only by living, then could miracles happen; only by living, then there would be hope.

“I won’t try to kill myself again, no matter what happens,” Stella promised.

A smile spread across Jasper’s face.

When she saw him smile, she finally understood that she was still alive because he wanted her to be.

She threw herself into Jasper’s arms. “You too have to stay alive. No matter what happens, we have to be strong and optimistic.”

“Mm,” Jasper replied.

All this while, she believed that Jasper would always be better than her in everything.

After hugging him for a while, something flashed in her mind, “We should take a bath. You sweated a lot today.”

She had initially planned to take a shower after dinner, but somehow, she forgot about it.

Jasper nodded.

“There’s a bathroom in your ward, and the bathtub is quite big. When you were in a coma, I would ask them to help you soak in the bathtub to improve your blood circulation, usually for ten to fifteen minutes,” Stella explained.

“Mm,” Struggling to say even that one word, he made another gesture. Stella could understand what he was trying to say.

“Let’s go. Sandro should be asleep now,” Stella pushed Jasper back to the ward.

There was no one in the room, and there was a note on the table. The doctors had left it there for her. It said, “Stella, we brought Sandro back with us. See you tomorrow.”

Stella smiled slightly, thankful that the people around her were this nice.

She went to the wardrobe and found a set of Jasper’s clothes. She whispered, “In the past, they only had robes for you. I thought they were ugly, so I asked Bellamy to bring some of your clothes over. I also got a tailor to custom-make a few shirts for you. They are made from pure cotton. I have the same one too, and so does Sandro. Next time, the three of us could wear it together when we go out to play.”

Jasper watched Stella take out the clothes for him.

Carrying the clothes in her hands as she stepped in front of him, she bent down to his level, saying, “This way, you could see me better right?”

The corners of Jasper’s mouth curled up…
