You're The Best Medicine For Me

Shirley’s brows were knitted instantly upon hearing Jacob’s words, and she quickly reached out her hand to take the phone from him and peek at the caller ID.

It was really him?

He usually would not call her number at all, and even if there was something urgent, he would always ask Jordan to pass on his message to her. What could it be now that he had called her in person?

She tapped on the answer button displayed on the screen of the phone and pressed it against her ear as she said, “Hello?”

A husky voice sounded from the other end of the call, “I’ll reach the entrance of your villa in five minutes, so put on something and come with me to a place.”

Shirley pulled her phone away from her ear to take a glimpse at the time displayed on the screen, and she held it close to her ear again as she said with a solemn countenance, “It’s getting late, Mr. Moore.”

“Mm, let’s talk when we meet.” The call was hung up by him after he had uttered that few short words.

Shirley’s brows were even deeply furrowed now as she raised her hand and started to rub her forehead subconsciously.

What the hell was this jackass going to do this time?

She turned around and walked up to the two kids after the call had ended, and she proceeded to pick up the towel in Emma’s hands in a calm and unhurried manner as she continued to dry her hair while taking her own sweet time.

Jacob walked closer to Shirley and gazed longingly at her phone as he asked, “Is Daddy asking for you, Mommy?”

Emma had also opened her pair of bright and beautiful eyes wide as she uttered in a childlike voice, “Hurry up and go to Daddy, Mommy. The nanny will help to blow dry my hair, and I will behave myself.”

Shirley could only feel helpless and distressed after seeing that her two children were so well-behaved.

Ever since she had taken over Bryan’s case, she had not been able to put them to sleep as she had to work at night.

It was not feasible to continue like this for a long period; hence she had set herself a goal to try to treat Bryan’s sleep disorder in three months’ time.

Her goal was to train him to the extent that he could fall asleep by himself without her presence by his side. If it had come to that stage, that would mean that he had completed his treatment, and she could bring an end to the life that she had been living now.

The nanny whom was hired by Mildred had walked into the room at that moment to bring the two kids away.

Shirley’s phone had rung again just then, and it was from Bryan expectedly.

She pushed open the closet door and brought out a set of casual wide-leg jumpsuit with no intention to pick up the call, and she promptly went into her dressing room to get dressed while leaving her phone to ring incessantly.
