Entangled With The Crippled Billionaire

****

Jimmy walked into the quiet house fearfully. He remembered what happened in the morning. “Aunt Lena, where is dad and aunt Sharon?,” he had asked Lena while taking his cereal.

He had completely forgotten of what he did last night. Lena smiled and said,”Aunt Sharon is sick. She has a cold so your dad is taking care of her.”

As soon as she said that, his spoon that was about to transport food to his mouth paused as his hand froze. A cold? She was fine last night.

That was when he suddenly remembered that he had completely slept off and had forgotten to unlock the door. He looked down immediately feeling very scared.

“I’m so dead when dad finds out. He clearly warned me not to do this last night. I’m afraid that not only will my gadgets be seized, I’ll also be grounded,” he mumbled quietly.

“Did you say something?,” Lena asked him cause she couldn’t hear what he was saying since he was speaking so quietly. He looked at her and asked,”Aunt Lena, she was fine last night. Why does she suddenly have a cold?”

“Well, she accidentally got locked up in the bathroom. I chose to use the word accidentally cause I believe that whoever locked the door mustn’t have done it on purpose,” Lena answered confirming his suspicions.

Suddenly the cereal don’t taste good anymore. He can’t even swallow them due to the amount of guilt on his mind.

He was just about to say something when Tia cried. Lena rushed to the sitting room and carried the baby. She came back to him and told him,”Once you are done, go out and meet the chauffeur to take you to school. I’m going upstairs.”

He nodded and watched her leave. He looked at his bowl of unfinished cereal and dumped it in the sink. Throughout today at school he kept on thinking of what Jasper will do to him.

He walked to the sitting room and didn’t meet anyone. He then rushed upstairs. He wanted to check his aunt Lena’s room first but then he decided against it since she might probably be with aunt Sharon.

He turned around and was walking towards his father’s study when he suddenly heard a loud noise. He walked in the direction of noise and wasn’t surprised to see that Jasper is arguing with Sharon again.

He looked at Sharon and said,” Well, she looks fine to me. It’s not as serious as I thought. Dad may not punish me.” Then he skipped away happily. Poor Jimmy! He’s soon about to find out how wrong he is.

“I think your brain cells has completely destroyed. There’s no hope for their revival anymore. Why would you just send the doctor away with this kind of stupid excuse?,” Sharon asked as she stared at Lena, her eyes blazing with fury.

Jasper looked at her suspiciously and said,”You haven’t fallen for the doctor, have you? I just didn’t like how he was touching you that’s why I sent him away.”

Sharon looked at him feeling like she could just strangle this muddle head man. Just because he didn’t like the way that doctor was touching her, he chased the poor, friendly doctor away.

She took in deep breathes trying to control her temper. “Jasper, why do you keep interfering? If you want to know, I’m not fine. I still don’t feel perfectly fine and that doctor would have been able to administer the medicines I should take and yet you chased him away,” Sharon continued.

Jasper looked a little bit pissed off now. Why is she making such a fuss? Isn’t this just about a doctor… An ordinary doctor.

“I already told Lena to get a female doctor for you, so quit shouting and stop making a fuss all for nothing,” Jasper uttered.

“I don’t want a female doctor. I want a male doctor,” she answered.

Jasper looked at her with his eyebrow raised. He then asked,”Why don’t you want a female doctor? They are also very good in their jobs.”

“They might be good at their job but male doctors are cute and you can have a crush on them,” Sharon answered sincerely and Jasper glared at her.

“In the nearest future you are not allowed to have any kind of medical appointment with a male doctor,”

Sharon smiled and looked at him. What’s he talking about? “And who are you to say that?,” she asked in a haughty tone.

Jasper was just about to reply when her phone vibrated. Sharon brought out the phone and checked the message.

As soon as she saw it, she almost choked. That bastard and that b*tch really deserve each other. Who among the two of them dared to send her this flimsy picture? Does she look like she care?

She stared at the invite and noticed this was the same design she actually wanted to use for her own wedding. In a fit of rage, she deleted the picture and blocked the strange number.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Jasper looked at her wondering why her expression suddenly changed. Sharon didn’t say a word. She only turned around to leave but of course Jasper wouldn’t let her go.

He held her hands and gently asked,”What’s wrong?” Sharon couldn’t hold it in any longer so she just burst into tears. Jasper pulled her to sit on his laps and cradled her.

Who the f*ck is making her cry? But he won’t know if he doesn’t ask her. “Why are you crying?,” he asked her softly. “I… I don’t know. The tears are just rushing out like a dam. I don’t know why I’m crying,” she replied, clearly doesn’t want to talk.

Jasper smiled. Dam? “Sharon seriously who’s making you cry? Why don’t you want to tell me?,” he asked her again as she kept on crying. His shirt now getting soaked with tears.

“They are getting married!!! They even had the nerve to send the invitation card clearly inviting me!,” she cried out.

“Is that why you are crying?,” he asked while frowning. She’s thinking about that fool again.

“I don’t know why it still hurts. It hurts a lot. Please make it stop. Just make it stop,” she cried to him. He held her not knowing what to say anymore. Does she still love that fool?

Sharon cried until she fell asleep. Jasper looked at her and kissed her forehead. Immediately he kissed her, he placed his hand on her head and said,”Sh*t, she’s having a high temperature.”

He touched the few exposed parts of her body and panicked seeing that her body is really hot like she just left a furnace. He called Lena in as he laid Sharon on the large sofa in his study.

“I think she has a fever,” Lena said as she glared at him. “This is all your fault. You should have allowed the doctor to check her if the cold is completely gone or not. Now it has escalated into something else,” she told him.

Jasper didn’t say anything as he felt guilty. But then he asked,”Did you get a doctor?”

“Yes, she’ll be here soon.”

He sighed in relief and wanted to speak again when one of his bodyguards came to his room. The man bowed and handed a tablet over to him.

“Sir, I retrieved the footage like you said. The video is in this tab,” the man told him. Jasper collected the tab and dismissed the man. Then he played the video and Lena watched it with him.

They both frowned as Jimmy appeared in the screen. They watched as he locked the bathroom door. Jasper’s face turning red with anger. Immediately the video ended, he shouted,”Jimmy!!!”

The servants passing by quickly went away to call Jimmy. As soon as Jimmy walked in and noticed the disappointed look on Lena’s face, he knew something was wrong.

“Dad, you called me?,” he asked and Jasper nodded before gesturing for him to come closer. As soon as he came closer, Jasper did what both Lena and Jimmy didn’t expect.

He slapped Jimmy. Though he didn’t exert much strength in the slap, it still left handprint on Jimmy’s face.

“Brother, what are you doing? He’s just a child,” Lena said as she pulled Jimmy closer and away from Jasper. Jimmy sobbed quietly as he hugged Lena.

This is the first time his father has raised his hands to hit him.

“He’s a child that needs to be taught a lesson. How old is he? Just seven and he almost… Shall I say kill someone? She could have passed out! What were you thinking!?,” Jasper shouted at him.
