Only you in my love novel Chapter 388

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Jason came to the hospital as expected.

He wasn't wearing a suit like he usually would. The black T-shirt he was in broke his predictable monotony and the daisy printed on it was even more out of character. He was wearing light gray casual trousers, which elongated his legs.

It was the first time that Jessica had seen Jason dressed so casually. He exuded the unique charm of a middle-aged man. He smiled confidently, with a charming aura surrounding him.

"Dad, I just heard you and James chatting and laughing. It seems that you are recovering well." Jason came in with some tonics.

In a panic, Jessica stood up and used her phone as a mirror to look at her makeup.

Knowing that Jason was coming, she had to try her best to look good.

She hoped that Jason would come up, hold her by the waist, and tell her how beautiful she was just like he used to.

However, she was left disappointed.

Jason only smiled at her politely.

"James shouldn't have told you this. I'm fine. You must be tired after the long journey." Sam treated Jason as his son as he really liked the young man.

Jason was actually better company to Sam than John was.

"Unfortunately, I can't stay long to take care of you. I have to go back tonight." Looking at Sam's aged face and wheelchair, Jason's heart sank.

Noticing how concerned he looked, Sam smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm old and don't like to walk anymore. A wheelchair is perfect for me."

The whole family felt their hearts crack hearing Sam talk like this. They couldn't imagine being reduced to a wheelchair.

Since Sam woke up, he'd been trying his utmost to keep his sadness from showing. He tried to stay strong, not wanting to his children to feel sorry for him.

The whole family knew that though.

"Would you play chess with me before you leave?" Sam loved playing chess but the only people that could go toe to toe with him were John and Jason.

John looked absent-minded, so Sam didn't want to bother him. Now that Jason was here, Sam wanted to play chess with him.

Jason nodded, "Okay."

John ordered the chessboard to get setup as he pushed his father's wheelchair over.

Sam always took chess seriously and he believed that both of them should go all out.

While they were talking, James held Emma's hand and introduced, "Uncle, this is my fiancee, Emma. I think you may have seen her before."

James rubbed Emma's arm and added, "Honey, call him Uncle. You've mentioned him before."

Of course Emma knew who he was. Jason was her idol after all.

However, when she heard James' introduction, she couldn't help smiling. "Nice to meet you, Professor Fu. I'm Emma Lin."

As she reached her arm out, James pulled it back before they could shake hands. "Call him Uncle."

Emma was speechless, but still managed to smile happily. James was so possessive over her, even from his family members. However he still had the nerve to complain about John's possessiveness behind his back.

"Uncle." Emma bent to his demands.

Jason raised his eyebrows slightly. "I'm relieved to have you by his side."

Jason knew he wouldn't have to try and convince James to study anymore because Emma would probably do that now.

Feeling a little embarrassed, James scratched his head and asked, "Uncle, are you leaving tonight? You haven't seen Aunt Jessica for a long time now. Why don't you stay here for a little longer? I'm sure one night is fine."

It was Jason's turn to be embarrassed.

He wanted to tell James that he had been divorced.

He didn't want to make Sam sad though, so he said with a smile, "I also want to stay to take care of your grandfather, but I can't put off this work any longer."

Jessica had all kinds of fantasies and one was that she hoped Jason would stay to spend time with her. When she heard that the only reason he wanted to stay was to take care of Sam, her heart sank.

"Well, hurry up if you want to leave so badly," Jessica shouted angrily. Her eyes were slightly red and she bit her lip, trying to hold back the tears.

She was a complicated woman. She said one thing but meant something completely different. She just wanted Jason to stay but she couldn't muster up the courage to tell him that. Instead, she tried to push him away.

After a pause, Jason replied, "I'll leave as soon as I finish playing chess."

Hearing his words, Jessica felt aggrieved. She pointed at the door and roared, "Get out now. The farther, the better."

The room fell into a stunned silence.

James murmured, "What's wrong with Aunt Jessica? She was fine a second ago, wasn't she? Why is she suddenly going off the rails? Is it just because Uncle Jason isn't staying with her?"

Looking at the others' expressions, Emma speculated, "Maybe things are not as simple as we think."

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, John finally spoke up. "You two are divorced. You have no right to boss him around."

There was a bit of anger in John's bellowing voice. There was such an eerie feeling that most people held their breath. Only John dared to even talk about their divorce.

John's words rammed into James' ear like a train and shattered his heart equally as quickly.

'Damn it! Did they really get divorced?

When did it happen?

It seems like I was the only one that didn't know.'

Emma shook her head. She didn't know either.

Humiliated, Jessica stamped her feet and left.

As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw a beautiful young woman standing outside.

"Who are you? Why are you eavesdropping?" Jessica was roaring at the girl, making her cower in fear.

"I'm not eavesdropping. I'm just waiting for Professor Fu." The girl was Maya, a senior and also a member of Jason's research team.

"Jason?" Jessica looked at Maya from head to toe, pulled her back to the ward and pushed her to Jason's side.

Maya stumbled, almost falling to the floor. Luckily, Jason caught her in his arms. "Maya, are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine. Thank you, Professor Fu." Maya stood firm and bowed respectfully to Jason to express her thanks.

"That's good." Jason breathed a sigh of relief. Maya was quite sickly. The medication she needed could only be bought in Lexingport City. That was why he brought her here.

He didn't expect Jessica to misunderstand, though.

Jason was just Maya's teacher, but in Jessica's eyes, there was something else going on. She sneered, "Jason, I see you've found a girlfriend so soon. Did you tell her that you used to be married?"

Jason was stunned. He felt his heart break. Maya was about to explain, but he stopped her.

Maya knew who Jessica was as soon as she saw her. Jason brought her photo with him wherever he went. Every night he would stare out at Lexingport City for a couple hours at least.

Maya thought, 'I thought Professor Fu was homesick. Actually, he missed his ex-wife.

Besides doing research, he's spent all his time missing his wife day after day.'

"I got married and divorced." Like the gentleman her was, Jason patted on Maya's shoulder. "Go get your medicine first and meet me back at where we're staying."

"Okay." Maya hurriedly headed towards the door.

Seeing that Maya was about to leave, Jessica stopped her and blurted out, "You can't leave."
