Chapter 20 

Upon learning about my relationship with Jaylan, my parents were skeptical of his profession as a so–called stylist. To them, it was just a fancy title for someone who drifted aimlessly, mingling with a dubious crowd and dressing in outlandish outfits. 

Moreover, the Dawson family wasn’t well off and Jaylan was one of four siblings. Neither he nor his siblings had any impressive academic achievements Jaylan dropped out of high school and started working in a hair salon, a fact that caused my parents much concern. 

Despite their attempts to discourage our relationship, I remained stubborn and eventually, they had to relent. It was only after I had Monique, and later, Probert, that they truly accepted Jaylan When Carl was born, Jaylan quit his job to help me manage our company, Medsafe Liyah Inc., and successfully transitioned from a stylist to a bona fide businessman. 

Jaylan was always humble and cautious around my parents, often claiming to be too busy to accompany me on visits to their house in Silverdale City. I didn’t mind it, thinking it was better this way 

However, this time, he took initiative to visit my parents and even remembered my mother’s birthday, which was a pleasant surprise. 

Watching him, I felt somewhat moved and said, “I had forgotten about Mom’s birthday Thanks for remembering” 

“How could I forget? With you being sick, I have to step up After all, they’re in their seventies. We can’t have them worrying about us Jaylan replied smoothly, sounding like the perfect son–in–law. 

I cursed myself for falling for this devil in disguise. A single tear slid down my cheek, which he quickly wiped away, asking, “Why are you crying again?” 

“How did you explain my condition to them?” I asked, I wanted to know how much he had revealed. 

“I told them you’re abroad Considering your anxiety, being relaxed is most important and treatment overseas is quite advanced,” he explained, adding. 1 assured them you’ll be back soon, so you need to get better quickly. We can’t have them worrying unnecessarily 

I gave a bitter smile His words sent chills down my spine. If something happened to me, it would be deemed as my own doing overseas, with him having no connection to it 

I wasn’t sure how much of his visit to my parents was true, and I would have to wait for Catherine’s confirmation. 

In the meantime, I needed to schedule a full–body check–up to understand my current health condition 

Til call them later. It’s been a while since we spoke, and I miss them,” I said, playing along. 

As expected, Jaylan brushed it off saying, “Let’s do it later. It will worry them since it’s not the right time to call with the time difference. 

He then got up to hold me, suggesting. “Let’s get up” 

“You go ahead. I’m feeling a bit dizzy I’ll join you in a bit,” I replied, pushing him away slightly. 

Jaylan nodded and headed to the bathroom. As soon as I heard the sound of running water, I quickly texted Catherine and hid my phone before getting 

out of bed 

Despite having a good night’s sleep, the emotional drain was considerable. As I sat on the bed, I contemplated how to retrieve my original phone, which held many important things.  S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

After Jaylan finished freshening up, he carried me to the bathroom, chatting casually and helping me clean up, playing the good husband role. 

Oddly enough, Zora didn’t bring my medicine today, and Jaylan didn’t mention it either, which left me a bit perplexed
