Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 174 The Naïve Ones

“Yes, we’ll continue with the treatment!” Annalise replied.

She would always try her best to treat all of her patients.

Of course, it would be a different story if the patient’s family refused Annalise’s treatment.

Hearing that Annalise agreed to continue treating Madam Zeller, Jasper was excited and became more courteous.

“Mr. Parks, right this way. Not too fast, wouldn’t want Mrs Parks to bump into anything.”

He opened the guest room door and even placed his hand on the door frame, afraid that Annalise would hit her

head when Julian carried her in.

This posture was similar to opening the car door for someone and inviting them to get into the car.

When everyone in the Zeller family, including Jane and Gwen, witnessed this scene, they were surprised.

The Zeller family thought to themselves about what happened, was Annalise injured? Was Jasper being extra

attentive because he was afraid that Julian would blame it on the Zeller family?

Jane and Gwen wondered if the young master of the Zeller family was possessed.

Gwen rolled her eyes slightly. She felt that if Jasper was only being this attentive because he was afraid of Julian, it

was very cowardly of him. He’d be out of her list of potential partners.

Julian carried Annalise to the guest room to rest.

Jasper immediately instructed a maid to make arrangements. “Auntie Liu, prepare a fruit platter, coffee, and milk.

Prepare them carefully.”

He felt that Annalise needed to rest after being this mentally exhausted. Perhaps milk can help relieve it.

With Julian accompanying her in the guest room, giving them fruits and coffee would be the most suitable

Hearing Jasper making these arrangements, everyone was stumped once again.

Jane could not take it anymore and asked, “Jasper, are you possessed?”

Jasper used to have a very good impression of Jane.

Jasper used to like her and asked his father to propose marriage to the Hiller family. He heard from his father that

she still wanted to play around for a few years and had no intention of marrying into the Zeller family for the time

being.

From there, he understood that Jane did not reciprocate the same feelings he had.

He understood this very well. After all, relationships depended largely on fate.

Although Jane rejected the Zeller family’s marriage proposal, he still had a good impression of her.

This was why he let her cause a scene in Madam Zeller’s ward, as he thought she was concerned for her wellbeing.

Thinking about it now, she had been causing trouble and trying to exacerbate the conflict right from the start. She

was the one who kept picking on Annalise.

Now, she said that he was possessed. Isn’t she going overboard with this?

His expression darkened slightly. He pointed out bluntly. “Miss Hiller, you’re just here to watch a show and fan

flames. Since she’s not your grandmother, you wouldn’t care whether she lives or dies.”

“Jasper, what did you say?” Jane was stunned.

He must be possessed. Otherwise, why would he say such things to her? Why was he being so distant and

addressing her as Miss Hiller? He’d always call her Jane.

Everyone in the Zeller family also felt that Jasper was acting out of character. At first, he reacted so strongly

against the treatment, wanting the needles removed immediately. What’s wrong with him now?

They all looked at Jasper.

Jasper said coldly to Jane, “If Miss Hiller continues to cause trouble like before, it’s better for you to leave Us.”

“… I’m causing trouble?” Jane was furious.

She felt that Jasper was really out of his mind.

Gwen immediately pulled Jane away. She smiled and asked, “Jasper, has Madam Zeller’s condition improved?”

She addressed Jasper by his first name, the same way Jane did. This showed that they had a close relationship.

Seeing Jasper’s drastic change and how he had accused Jane of creating trouble, she had guessed as much that

Madam Zeller’s condition was better now.

Jasper glanced at Gwen and replied indifferently, “Yes.”

“Did Jonathan intervene? That’s too much of him. He should have done it long ago. Madam Zeller was suffering

from such a serious illness. How could he let his sister practice on her? Madam Zeller must have suffered for

nothing.”

“Madam Zeller had vomited so much blood, and her body convulsed so badly she almost couldn’t breathe at one

point. Vomiting so much blood was already damaging enough for an average healthy person, let alone Madam

Zeller, who was already riddled with sickness.”

“Fortunately. Jonathan decided to take over. It’s great that Madam Zeller is fine now.” Gwen deliberately

emphasized that Madam Zeller had vomited blood to aggravate the Zeller family’s dissatisfaction towards

Jonathan and Annalise.

Had Jasper heard this earlier, he would’ve been influenced by Gwen again.

However, he had completely calmed down now.

This was because he had witnessed how Madam Zeller’s condition improved after Annalise administered

acupuncture to her. Her body stopped convulsing and became relaxed, and she even let out a sigh of relief. This

was a clear sign that Madam Zeller was feeling much better.

Previously, when Madam Zeller’s situation was particularly critical, he was impressed by Gwen when she gave a

solution.

Right now, Gwen was constantly emphasizing whether Jonathan intervened and how he let Annalise practice on

Madam Zeller. It all sounded sarcastic and scornful.

He wasn’t going to stand on ceremony. Since she was being so sarcastic, he was glad to give her a taste of her own

medicine. He said, “Miss Raven, let me tell you a story. Once, there was a frog who lived at the bottom of a well. All

it did was croak all day and night. The frog felt happy, contented, and outstanding. It felt that the tadpoles and

small fishes in the well could not compare to it.”

“One day, the frog encountered a sea turtle and asked, ‘How big is the ocean? Is it as big as my well?”” Seeing how

Jasper was using the story of the frog in the well to mock her for being naive and narrow-minded, Gwen

immediately turned red in embarrassment.

She stood up angrily. “Master Jasper, there’s no need for the harsh words. I was being nosy. I shouldn’t have

persuaded Jonathan to intervene and let Annalise carry on with what she was doing. It wouldn’t matter if Madam

Zeller died in their hands since she’s nobody to me. Blame me for being nosy!”

With that, she angrily left the living room.

Jane immediately chased after her. “Gwen!”

She turned around and glared at Jasper. “Jasper, you’ve gone too far today!”

As Jason was rushing back, he bumped into Gwen who was just leaving.

Hearing how anxious his family sounded when they called him about an emergency, he didn’t have time to speak to

Gwen. Otherwise, he’d have to exchange a few words.

Today, Professor Woods was here to treat the old lady. Why was she even here? Was the Zeller family close with

her?

He rushed into the living room and immediately asked Jasper, “How is Grandmother doing?”

“Grandmother’s condition is stable now. We can go in and take a look.” Jasper said.

The father and son entered the old lady’s room.

Jonathan was just about to remove the needles from Madam Zeller.

Madam Zeller was already awake, and Anna was resting on the bed quietly.

Jason was shocked to see the blanket covered with blood.

Now that everything had quietened down, Jonathan said, “In traditional medicine, it focuses on conditioning the

body and taking the appropriate ways to address the root cause. Some things may seem out of the ordinary but

could actually be good for the patient. In some instances, vomiting blood or bleeding out may beneficial for

patients.”
