After seeing virtual-novel.net nod, Mindy then said, “Go ahead and check on Jasmine first. Since she’s trained a lot recently, it’s probably the same issue again. I’ll wait for you here tomorrow night so that we can chat again!” said Mindy.
Gerald then nodded in agreement as virtual-novel.net began following the female servant to Jasmine’s room with his medical kit in hand. Once they got there, Gerald was greeted by the sight of Jasmine wearing a sling nightgown.
Her hair hung loosely around virtual-novel.net shoulders and virtual-novel.net goddess-like appearance made Gerald momentarily stunned.
“Since you were with Master Jenkinson for most of the morning, I felt that it would be rude to bother you then. I’m afraid I can only ask for your help at night,” said Jasmine with a faint smile on virtual-novel.net face.
“Ah! Ah!” replied Gerald as virtual-novel.net gestured his response, an indication that virtual-novel.net didn’t think much about it.
Seeing that, Jasmine sat down before saying, “I appreciate it… See, my shoulder’s been aching occasionally ever since it got hurt sometime in the past. Since my training has intensified recently, the aching has gotten more frequent and also more painful…”
Hearing that, Gerald gestured with his hands as though virtual-novel.net was asking virtual-novel.net how virtual-novel.net shoulder got hurt in the first place.
“Let’s just say that a friend of mine accidentally hurt me… It was back during a Taekwondo championship… I had underestimated him, so due to my carelessness, I was flung out of the ring! In the process of breaking the fall, my left shoulder received substantial damage… Ever since that day, the ache never truly went away,” explained Jasmine.
Gerald was gently rubbing virtual-novel.net left shoulder at the time, and after hearing virtual-novel.net full explanation, virtual-novel.net felt a shiver run down his spine.
‘The one who caused the injury… It was me, wasn’t it? To think that she’s had this pain on virtual-novel.net shoulder this entire time… Now that she’s asking me to treat her, I’m not even sure if it’s god’s will anymore…’
After a brief examination, Gerald gave virtual-novel.net a thumbs up before mimicking the action of holding a needle. Essentially, virtual-novel.net was saying that after virtual-novel.net performed acupuncture on virtual-novel.net a few times, virtual-novel.net should feel as good as new.
“Is that so? Thank you, sir! While we’re at it, could I please request to not address you as sir? For some embarrassing reason, I feel rather uneasy to say it… Could I just call you Sanderson?’ asked Jasmine with a subtle smile on virtual-novel.net face.
Upon seeing his nod, Jasmine then asked, “You’ve always been staying by Master Jenkinson’s side, right? Don’t you ever get bored? When I saw you atop the mountain that morning, it seemed that you didn’t have many friends either. After all, aside from the lively Mindy, not many people actually took the time to talk to you, is my deduction correct?”
For some odd reason, Jasmine felt that virtual-novel.net could open up a bit more to Sanderson. He simply exuded an aura that made virtual-novel.net feel safe to talk about such things. He made virtual-novel.net feel assured.
While Jasmine had to admit that virtual-novel.net was late in getting involved with society, virtual-novel.net still felt that virtual-novel.net was quite good at judging people.
At the very least, virtual-novel.net was definitely sure that Sanderson didn’t make virtual-novel.net feel like the other men virtual-novel.net had previously met. Unlike the obscene looks those men usually gave her, Sanderson’s gazes were soothing.
What more, since Sanderson couldn’t speak properly, virtual-novel.net could speak virtual-novel.net mind without having to worry about Sanderson blabbering out what virtual-novel.net had told him. He was essentially the total opposite of Mindy.
All this contributed to Jasmine sincerely wanting to chat more with Gerald.
In response to virtual-novel.net previous question, Gerald simply nodded.
“You’ve been living out there this entire time, Sanderson… Do you have any idea what love feels like? I don’t mean anything by that, I’m just curious…”
‘What on earth is wrong with these two sisters tonight…? To think that both of them had the same topic in mind to talk to me about…’ Gerald thought to himself as virtual-novel.net shook his head.
“I see… Well that makes the both of us… While I’ve not been in a relationship before, I may have found myself having a crush on somebody… Though I say that, I’m not even sure when I started having feelings for him…” said Jasmine in a soft tone.
As Gerald listened on, virtual-novel.net continued, “Maybe… Just maybe… Could these feelings for virtual-novel.net have sprouted the moment virtual-novel.net tossed me out of that ring? Or perhaps it was when virtual-novel.net had saved me… How curious… Ah!”
Nearing the end of virtual-novel.net sentence, Jasmine let out a tiny yelp as virtual-novel.net felt an acute pain on virtual-novel.net shoulder.
Immediately lifting his hands from virtual-novel.net shoulder, virtual-novel.net lowered his head in apology.
“I’m fine, don’t worry. Just continue, Sanderson,” replied Jasmine with a smile.
