Chapter 231 Marry Him as Soon as Possible

Dr.Ferrell nodded without saying more.

"I'll go check her."

August said lightly and went up slowly to Jeanne's room on the second floor.

The servant waiting outside the room greeted him at once, "Mr.Adams!"

August nodded and told her blandly, "Could you inform Mr.Kelly that I'm with Jeanne now, and will talk to him later on?"

The servant nodded understandingly and left.

August pushed the door open, just to see a dimly-lit room where he could hardly see the furniture clearly.He then walked to the bed, and a sense of regret welled up when he saw the pale face of the woman who was crouching under the quilt.

He had promised her that he would hold a memorable wedding when she was getting better.

Yet he became hesitant to it now despite her reminding in one way or another recently.

August decided to leave the room after standing at the bedside for a moment, when the woman on the bed opened her eyes with some movements of her body.

"August!" she exclaimed in surprise at seeing him, and sat up excitedly to hold his hand, "Don't leave me..."

August's eyes dropped to the floor.He just couldn't stand women when they were imploring him to stay pathetically and wistfully.His tone became soft instantly, "Rest assured.I'll be here with you."

"Really?" Jeanne asked excitedly, but turned low again after thinking for a second.She then held August's waist with both arms as though complaining, "I thought you won't come to see me..."

A mixture of emotions clutched at August's heart.

It was Jeanne who stood by his side during the lowest point of his life, yet now, he couldn't even offer her the most basic sense of security.

August lifted his hand to stroke Jeanne's hair, "I will be with you.You were thinking too much."

Jeanne was so thrilled to hear that, though she was still sobbing.

"Then tell me why you didn't come for the dinner today? You promised me to come, didn't you?"

she looked up at him with tearful eyes and then answered the question herself before he could make any reply, "Is it because you knew father is going to mention the matter of wedding today...?" her voice sounded so upset and uneasy.
