Chapter 256 - 256. Let Me Protect You.

"Is that important right now? Give her the injection." Paul called from where he sat beside Jessie. 

"I don't know if I should be alarmed or concerned." She said as she pulled the syringe out. "Care to explain?" She asked looking to Jason.

He only shrugged. "I literally just sleep here." He said. "Is that much of a big deal?" He asked.

"Butler Choi has some medical knowledge, nothing serious but he takes care of our minor injuries or ailments when he can." Agnes said much to the butler's displeasure. 

"It's nothing too serious, just minor headaches and all that. An actual doctor visits regularly." He replied. 

Jason sighed. "You're not in trouble, how could you? You just saved Jessie." 

Both employees grew wide eyes at his tone and words of gratitude. "Was this the man that was just yelling?" They thought.

Katherine looked up at him with a small smile as she walked to Jessie. "Hey, are you still here?" She asked. When Jessie didn't respond she concluded that she had passed out again.

She quickly administered the injection as two other people walked in with the equipments for a drip. "Wow, you really have everything." She sighed. "Where did you get all this?"

"The doctor that visits... he provides them, old friend of mine." The butler replied. 

"You might not believe but butler used to attend medical school in his glory days." One of the other maids blurted out before she realized and all three of them turned to him with shocked eyes.

"Wow I should really pay attention to my staff." Jason stated. "Why didn't you say anything? Do anything to help Jessie. I'm sure you knew what to do, you have the medication."

"I..." the older man stuttered as he shot the maid a quick glare forcing her to lower her eyes.

"I don't have a license, of course. I don't have the right to treat her, besides I couldn't have guessed it was cramps..."

"Cramps?" Both men said simultaneously. 

"Did you two not hear when she said it?" Katherine asked as she pushed the needle into Jessie's wrist. Hanging the drip, up she turned to them. 

"That bad?" Paul asked and Katherine nodded. 

"I should probably inform you since she stays with you now. All of you... the first time I met Jessie, when you brought her to the hospital after she passed out?" She asked looking to Jason to see if he remembered, when he gave her a tight nod she continued. 

"It was because of her cramps, because she hadn't eaten the entire day. That was your fault " she shot a glare at Jason. "And now again, she didn't eat. She should have painkillers but if she didn't eat then I doubt she took them." She said sparing the unconscious Jessie a glance. "Worse the sugar, it was like she was begging to die... I honestly don't know how she managed to hold out so long, the pain is no joke." 

"Is yours that bad?" Paul asked.

"Not at all, it's different for everyone. But then again I never forget my painkillers. " She stated. "But she knows how bad it can get, that's why she treats it. I'm not sure why she neglected it this time but you all mark this date for next time. Close to this date or a few days after I want you to pump her with as much food as you can. It's not healthy for her to keep fainting like this." Katherine frowned at her sleeping friend. 

"Will she be okay now?" Jason asked from where he leaned aganist her walk in closet. 

"Yeah, she wouldn't wake up now though so make sure she eats something when she wakes up. I'm sure you know what pills she should take when she wakes up." She winked at the already blushing butler.

"Me?" He gasped. 

"Yes. Don't you?" Katherine asked. 

"Yes... but are you allowed... I'm I allowed?" He asked his head refusing to wrap around what the hell was going on. Sure he attended medical school, but he dropped out when his father died. Already a struggling family he went straight to work to provide for his family. Eventually, after a few decades and a few households he realized that time had passed and had long given up on becoming a doctor. But this manor didn't have a doctor, it at least comforted him that he could still help in that way. And now?

"Is there anything stopping him?" Katherine asked Jason. 

"Not at all, infact I think it would be the best idea if you finished medical school what do you think Katherine?" 

"Absolutely splendid." She smiled.

And the butler paled. "You can't be serious sir." He said for the first time with a shaky voice.

"Oh I am..."

**************************************************

After everyone left, Jason sat beside Jessie's bed as he watched her sleep. Going over the events of that night he wondered to himself why she had let her situation get so bad. For the first time he respected women for this one situation. 

Without pills she had to go through this every month, he couldn't even to imagine how it felt.

Taking her hand in his he placed a small kiss on her knuckles. Whispering words of sweet nothingness into her ears he suddenly remembered her confession. 

'I love you Jason, I promise I do.'

"I can't help but doubt it Jessie." He whispered to her. "If you did why wouldn't you just let me help you? For crying out Twenty million is literally nothing to me. Not that it's not a lot of money but still... please just let me help you..." He pleaded to her unresponsive self. "If you love me then let me protect you, let me protect you."

Her phone began to ring beside her head and he reached forward to turn it off but the caller ID caught his eye. 

Jonathan's mother.

Too curious for his own good he swiped right and answered the call.

"Hello? Jessie?" An oddly familiar voice answered. 

And Jason froze.
