Chapter 263 Initial Success
Pearl was injected with the medicine under Robert's expectant gaze. She did not have any reaction to it.
She looked at Robert and hesitated to speak.
Two days ago, Pearl had already written her will. Once she had an accident, she would give part of her property to Robert.
She knew that in the face of death, money was worth nothing.
But Pearl hoped that Robert could marry a good girl someday.
They ate in silence. After the meal, Robert washed the dishes and turned off the lights before he found the heart-shaped candles and blew a few balloons. He knelt on one knee solemnly and said to Pearl, "l don't know what love is; I don't know how long we can be together, but I only want to spend the rest of my life with you. Please marry me."
Robert was inexperienced about love, but he only wanted to express his affection to Pearl, not simply on the a-doctor-and-patient relationship.
Pearl was shocked when she looked around. The cement wall had cracks and the furniture was old with the paint fallen off. Seeing Robert suddenly proposed to her in such a simple place, she felt bitter and sweet.
"Will you marry me?" he asked Pearl.
Without flowers, applause, and blessings from friends, they only had each other.
Robert added, "I know that you are from a rich family. Though I'm not a poor boy, I am indeed an orphan. The only relative I have is my sister and the Duncan's. I am not good enough for you, but I will love you. protect you, and we will support each other."
Pearl was overwhelmed and said incoherently, "You know that I have an antisocial personality, and I..."
She did not expect Robert to propose to her when she was in the most miserable state.
She flipped, but she didn't want any pity or sympathy from others. She also wanted to be loved like her best friend Jane.
However, Pearl felt that she was not good enough.
Robert said, "I have seen you in your most miserable state, but you are kind and faithful to friends. You always put others first. You've been hurt so deeply, but you always convince yourself to forgive them." If Pearl had hatred in her heart and had taken revenge, she would not be like this.
Robert was so obsessed with Pearl's quality of being kind and nice to others.
Thinking about the misunderstanding of their first meeting, he thought it was still a little funny.
Fate and destiny made people meet and get to know each other. On the night of their first meeting, it was destined that they would not be each other's passengers.
Robert said to Pearl, "I propose to you not because you're from a rich family. Although I can't give you a rich life now, I will work hard."
He was nervous, afraid that he would be rejected.
Robert knew that Pearl had always been very good to him. He was afraid that he would misunderstand such kindness because she had always been so nice to her friends.
Pearl thought that antisocial personality or depression was not a big deal.
As long as she was with him and believed everything would gonna be fine.
After Robert finished speaking, he stared fixedly at Pearl.
Pearl said, "Yes, I do, Robert. Yes, I do!"
She choked with sobs. The virus was still in her body. Even if it was a dream, she did not want to wake up.
Pearl reached out her hand, and Robert put the diamond ring on her devoutly and kissed her cheek.
She wanted to dodge his kiss, but she failed.
Love needed not only an oath but also actions. From the moment he came, it meant that they would be together forever, sharing weal and woe.
A simple but warm proposal suddenly gave her the courage to make her believe that a miracle was about to happen.
The moment he put the ring on Pearl, Robert took pictures with his phone. Then, they took a picture together. He posted it to his Moments. No matter what happens, even if they died together, he did not have regrets.
Jane looked at her phone. She could not believe her eyes when she saw the sweet selfie of Pearl and Robert and announced their engagement!
"What's the matter?"
William was dealing with the company documents. He took a look at Jane from time to time. Only when he saw her could he be at ease. Otherwise, he was afraid that she would disappear.
There was a virus antibody in Jane's
blood. William thought more about it. Others did not have RS virus. antibodies, but Jane did. Maybe it was because her body had a brand new soul.
"Yes?"
"It's good news. Take a look at your phone!" Jane shook her phone and smiled.
William took out his phone and looked at it for a while before saying, "Master Duncan should be very happy. He has been worried that Robert won't be able to get married."
Robert looked gentle and polite, treating everyone well. It was hard to get close to his inner heart.
Because he was an orphan, Robert was hurt in his heart. To protect himself, he had to make everyone away from him. His politeness was a kind of indifference.
"I knew they loved each other. I am looking forward to attending their wedding."
Jane was a little excited. This time, it was different as she was attending a wedding for love.
Robert was very responsible for his actions. No wonder Pearl agreed to marry him.
"Wait a minute, you said Robert had suffered from psychological trauma. What is going on?"
Jane could not help but ask William curiously.
He said, "Robert's father was
suspicious. He suspected that he had been cuckolded and Elyse was not his child, so he killed their mother. Later, he jumped off the high building to commit suicide.
"Robert and Elyse became orphans. Their relatives were not willing to raise them, so they were dumped in the welfare institute.
"But in the welfare institute, they often did not have enough food to eat.
"Later, when the Duncan Group did charity, Master Duncan saw that they were bullied so badly, so he took them home and sponsored them to school."
Later on, because Master Duncan returned to settle down, Robert and Elyse had been abroad until they returned a while ago.
Some bad experiences in childhood had a great impact on their entire lives.
Robert and Elyse had never mentioned their parents. Perhaps they hated them.
I don't know about this, either.
"Well..."
Jane was somewhat regretful to ask William. What's past was a prologue. There was no need to mention it in the future.
"Then am I Pearl's sister-in-law?"
Jane was delighted and she decided to send Robert a red envelope.
Robert received a reminder on the phone.
He opened the red envelope and it was only two hundred.
"Oh my god! Jane is too stingy. She only gave me two hundred!"
Robert complained to Pearl but she spoke up for Jane, "The maximum of the red envelope of Wechat is only two hundred. It's good to have it!"
"You're speaking up for her. You and I are a family."
Robert said in a grievance. In the future, Pearl would be his wife, and they had to be together.
"Yes, we are a family."
Pearl lowered her head with a red face and whispered.
Half a month had passed quickly. The red dots on Pearl's body had mostly disappeared. Robert did another test and found that Pearl's blood sample was the same as Jane's, turning blue. In other words, Pearl also had the antibody of the RS virus.
"Robert, am I getting better?"
Pearl could not believe it. Jane had saved her. She had recovered!
"Yes, you're getting well."
Robert's eyes were red. During this period, he pretended to be relaxed. He had thought that he would die. But now things were brightening up.‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒
