Let's Get Married

The next morning, Jasmine is woken up by the doctor's regular rounds. She opens her eyes to see Bridget sitting on the bed and helping Cyrus with breakfast.

In a daze, she gets up and calls, "Mom." Her head is still not clear from sleep.

"You're up." Bridget points at the millet porridge, boiled eggs and bread on the table, "I bought you breakfast. Wash your face and eat it while it's hot."

Knowing that she is rather exhausted these days, Bridget doesn't wake her up this morning when she sees her sleeping so soundly.

Jasmine nods and quickly washes up. She sits down at the table to eat breakfast.

Cyrus' heart stings at Jasmine's dark eyes. He sighs, "Bridget, I don't think it's good to keep Jasmine in the hospital all the time. Maybe let her go back to school."

Jasmine has never slept in school in order to do part-time jobs.

Bridget thinks the same way as Cyrus. But ever since she finds out Jasmine's relationship with Pehry, she has been very worried.

Seeing Jasmine sleeping in such a small bed every night, her heart aches more than anyone else. But she would rather let Jasmine endure this than let her go the wrong way.

"She is not registered for dormitory. Besides, there is a curfew. She won't be able to get in if she returns so late at night." Bridget doesn't tell Cyrus about Pehry to save him from more worries.

Recovery is the priority for him now.

Cyrus still can't be reassured, "Then why don't we let Jasmine stay at Hilary's for a few days?"

Hilary is Jasmine's aunt. Bridget immediately objects the proposal, "We've already troubled them a lot, now you want Jasmine to stay at their house...."

"We're families, aren't we? Besides, I can't think of any other way." Cyrus insists, "She stays in the school and eats in the canteen by day, only stays at their house for the night. It's better than sleeping here. I don't want Jasmine to become sick when I'm fully recovered."
