Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 143

'Oh, no! Jean is getting angry now.'

Zed screamed deep down in his heart.

He didn't know why Jean's facial expressions had changed so quickly. A few seconds ago, Jean seemed to be very happy. But after a while, her face immediately turned gloomy.

'This woman really have a bad temper!'

Zed felt like being abused by Jean. When Jean snapped at him, he felt very happy. It proved that Jean really cared about him.

"Okay, fine. I won't to go back to the company yet. But I really don't want to stay here in the hospital." While he said those words, Zed eagerly looked at Jean.

Since he was a child, he had always been healthy. Catching a cold was even a rare incident to him.

Thus, he was seldom admitted to the hospital. Moreover, he had never stayed in the hospital for such a long time before.

The last time he had been in the hospital was because of Jean. Jean was admitted in the hospital, and he had to accompany her.

The anguish that was lingering in Jean's heart almost disappeared when she heard Zed's begging voice.

Jean also felt that she was just too anxious that time. Zed's temperature had just gone down. When she heard Zed's plea to go back to his company, Jean felt very worried about his health. The thought that he didn't take good care of himself made her angry. But after a while, she carefully thought about his request. 'Zed only had a fever. It's not really a serious disease. As long as his temperature becomes normal, he can be discharged from the hospital any time.

The doctor recently told me that Zed was just bit weak. If he doesn't really want to stay in the hospital, he could just have a rest at home. Then, I will ask Zelda to cook some chicken soup for him. Perhaps, he would recover more quickly in the house than here in the hospital.'

"Okay!" After she carefully considered all the aspects, Jean finally agreed. She could fully understand Zed's reluctance to stay in the hospital because she also had the same feeling before. "But the moment you are back at home, you have to do what I say. You need to take care of yourself and regain your strength first. Don't work too hard yet, "

Jean seriously said.

"Of course."

Zed quickly nodded. Jean felt surprised and her eyes sparkled when he saw that Zed was beaming in joy.

Zed had always been cold in front of her. He seldom showed his true feelings before. It seems like all men who are sick become childish, no matter how strong they used to be.

After she made the decision, Jean recorded the things that needed to be done and looked for the doctor. After that, she completed the discharge procedure for Zed and registered her grandma.

After she handled everything properly, Jean gave her grandma a kiss on her forehead even though she was reluctant to leave. Then, she slowly walked out of the ward with Zed.

Jean's eyes were slowly filled with tears and immediately turned red after the ward's door was closed.

"It's okay. I have already sent two people to guard grandma. I have also paid two nurses to look after her. After grandma's health improves, we could send her to a good nursing house abroad. Would that be fine?" After he saw her sad face, Zed tried to comfort Jean.

"Okay…" Jean, who was still crying, nodded. Even though she was sad, she knew that it was the best thing to do for her dear grandma.

After they got home and changed their shoes, Zelda quickly ran out from the house.

"Welcome back, Mr. Zed and Mrs. Jean." Zelda exclaimed happily when she saw that Zed had recovered well.

"Thank you! Zelda, please cook some chicken soup for Zed. It would definitely help him recover fast." Then, while changing to slippers, Jean asked, "Is there an old hen that we can cook here? If there's none, I will go out and buy one."

"I can go out and buy it. You must be very tired after accompanying Mr. Zed in the hospital last night. Since you had just come home, you better have a good rest first, Mrs. Jean." Zelda considerately said.

After she heard Zelda's words, Jean shook her head and said, "I will go to the meat market and pick a living hen. Then, I will ask the vendor to kill it on the spot. That chicken has the most nutritious meat." Jean turned to Zed and said, , "Go to the bedroom and have a rest now, Zed. I will be back after a while."

When Zed saw Jean's face that was full of concern, he wanted to stop her and just ask Zelda to buy the hen.

However, after he saw her eager facial expression, Zed changed what he was about to say.

"Be careful while driving! Come back right away after you buy it." Zed thoughtfully said.

"I know. I'm not a kid." Jean put her shoes on again and walked out with her wallet and car keys.

After she arrived at the biggest meat market nearby, Jean selected a big, fat, old hen. Then she asked the vendor to help her kill it. After that, she went back to her car.

When she was about to open the door, Jean heard a familiar voice behind her. "Jean!"

Jean's body turned stiff for a few seconds. Her facial expression seemed overwhelmed and helpless.

But after a while, she wore her smile back, slowly turned around and looked at Ethan.

"What a coincidence! What are you doing here, Jean?" Ethan, who was dressed casually, quickly walked towards Jean.

"I…What a coincidence!" Jean smirked and reluctantly said.

Yet, deep down in her heart, Jean was murmuring, 'If you can come here, then I can come here, too.'

When he saw a hen in Jean's hand, his eyes turned wide open in surprise. Then, he quickly asked her, "Have you just come out of the meat market?"

'You have just seen it. Why did you still ask me?' Jean sarcastically thought to herself.

"Yes. I just came here to buy a hen. We will cook some chicken soup for Zed to help him recover fast." Jean didn't want to talk with Ethan anymore. So, she immediately said, "I have to go back home immediately and cook a chicken soup. Zed is waiting for me."

After she said those words, she quickly got into the car and sat in the driver's seat.

"Jean, could you please give me a ride? I haven't brought my car with me." Ethan bent down to looked at Jean's face and begged.

Jean really wanted to straightly refuse him, but it seemed like Ethan was really telling the truth. So, she couldn't do anything but accept and nod.

After Jean approved, Ethan felt very happy. He quickly got in through the front door of the car and sat on the passenger seat.

'If I only knew that I would meet Ethan, I would've taken a taxi going here!'

Jean started the car and slowly drove forward. Her face clearly showed discomfort.

"Jean I came here specially for you this time." Ethan looked at Jean's face with deep affection in his eyes. While she was driving, Jean's stern and serious mood made her more charming. Thus, Ethan was so fascinated and couldn't help blurting out.

'He talks about that again!'

Jean immediately frowned. After a while, she parked the car on the parking lane and turned her head to look at Ethan who was smiling ambiguously. Then, she seriously said, "Ethan, I have told you before. I am already married to Zed, and I am very happy now. The hen I just bought is for Zed. I bought it to cook a chicken soup to help him recover his health. So, please don't say those words again. Or else, I won't treat you even as a friend. Is that clear?"

'Did Jean say that she bought a hen for Zed to recover his health?'

Ethan was shocked and felt a jolt of pain in his heart.

'Why didn't I find her good for me when we were still together?

Perhaps, she even treated me better than she treats Zed now. But I ignored all the things she did for me.'

Ethan rekindled the flame of hope in his heart. He suddenly realized that Jean was really a good wife.

'However, everything has changed. It's my fault though. I didn't know how to appreciate and cherish her.

Why was I so foolish before? I only realized that she is such a good woman after Zed got her as his wife.'

"Well, yeah. Don't be mad at me. Since you don't like it, I won't say those words again. I will just hold back my feelings for you. And I promise, I won't cause any trouble to you. Jean, as what you've just said, we can't be lovers again, but we can still be friends, right?"
