Keira's Pov.
Despite his cold attitude and demeanour, I knew I had to act tough. Maybe he's right about me being a gold digger but I didn't care. I was here and there's no going back.
I walked towards the kitchen, browsing the different types of dishes for a man who needs to recover from a crippled condition.
"Ah! She's so desperate. Mr Jasper keeps threatening her to leave but she's being adamant."
"I know right, more likely to squander the man's money. Maybe she's yet to see a side in the boss that would make her run without looking back!"
"No need for that ,Cloris, I will run!! Who the f**k gets married to a crippled!" They all burst out laughing and I walked in, staring at their faces one after the other and they all scrambled out aside from one of them who walked boldly to me and smirked, i stared at her hands and it was a pile of textbooks which made me frown.
She slammed it on the foyer beside me without breaking eye contact and eyed the book with curiosity.
"Since you're now Mr Jasper's wife, you will be taking over from us and attending to his legs."
I frowned. "What do you mean by that?"
"What I mean is we will no longer tend to him, massage his legs, feed him, take his bath and administer his drugs!" My eyes widened at her statement and she continued.
"He needs to get up on time so you need to learn the basics of his health, his meals too. So read this in two days and begin to administer to him."
My eyes could pop out from my sockets as I stared at the medical languages and heavy books before me.
"I'm not a doctor!" I gasped.
"How on earth do you want me to read so much at once?"
"Well, you're going to refer that to your mother in law who asked me to make sure you do just that immediately or what will happen won't be so sweet. Excuse me." She stated rudely and left, leaving me groaning in an indescribable feeling.
"Feeling frustrated already?" A deep voice made me flinch and I stood up Abruptly to face Mart. I wonder what he was doing here but if there's one thing about him is that, he's not looking bad at all.
"I'm not frustrated, just trying to decipher which meal is my husband's favourite? You're his brother so you should have knowledge about it." I stared at him in hope, hopefully I could make something and start the task of reading this book.
He was very helpful, from telling me what he likes best and the ingredients to use which surprised me at how knowledgeable he was, I pictured Mart to be an arrogant personality but this side of him was really cool.
In no time, we were done with the meal and I served it, patiently waiting for Jasper to have a taste of it. It was a simple breakfast of oatmeal, chicken soup with Walnut and pumpkin seeds.
I wanted to appreciate Mart for his assistance but it seems he was already gone and at that same moment, Jasper was wheeled in with his right hand man.
"You should have something to eat as it's not good to starve, for your health's sake." I told him, gesturing my hands to the table and he wrenched his nose instead.
"I'll pass."
"Just a taste! I put in so much effort to do this" I pleaded and his eyes softened a bit.
"Common boss, a bite won't hurt. Besides you haven't eaten anything." The cute man standing before him coerced him and led him to the table even before he could protest.
He rolled his eyes without saying a word and picked one of the cutlery.
My heart plummeted in my stomach as I anticipated his reaction, even though I wasn't expecting any less than hateful words.
He didn't say a word but looked graceful in his actions, from the way he picked his spoon and finally, he had a taste of the oat.
I pinched my skin so hard till it was red and not when he took another scoop and another, I slowly released a breath until he ate the chicken soup and all hell let loose.
Jasper swept the whole food on the table and coughed so hard, that Clinton cringed in horror as the whole plate broke Into pieces.
"Boss?" He gasped and rushed to him Instantly, Jasper held his neck and scratched it as if it felt so itchy and dread filled my entire body.
"Call the doctor immediately, now and fast!" Jasper ordered his and he was already on the phone, totally ignoring my existence and I wondered what I did so wrong .
"What's wrong? What happened to the food?" My Voice croaked as I stepped forward, hating the frustrating look on Jasper's face which has suddenly become red and Clinton stopped me from taking further steps.
"Please kindly refrain from preparing his meals from now on! He could die at this point due to his allergies which is a trigger on his current health condition."
I couldn't believe that was the issue, allergies? What was he allergic to? I wanted to ask him but he was already wheeling Jasper outside, probably going to the hospital and I slumped on the chair with tears welling my eyes. What a good way to make Jasper love me more, I messed things up quicker than I thought.
I heard a footstep and I got up abruptly only to see Mart whom I thought had already left and I suddenly clicked to me at once. He must have known about his brother's allergies but he coerced me into making them, even with his assistance.
"Why are you crying, come with me. I'll make life easier for you." He said calmly, rubbing my shoulders and wiping my tears. The kind of anger, I've never felt brewed up to the bile of my throat and I slapped his hard. So hard that I could feel my palms hurt.
"Stay the hell away from me as from now henceforth!!" I yelled.
