Chapter 442 Buying an Engagement Ring (4)
Gerald's body was too weak now, still in a deep sleep, unable to wake up.
James stood by the bed, quietly watching over Gerald.
His mind was like a movie, flashing through many scenes of Gerald taking care of him and teaching him how to navigate life since he was young.
The more he thought about it, the more his heart ached.
Jessica slowly walked to his side, gently held his hand, and said, "I will always be with you, always remember grandpa's words. Just like you protect me, I will protect you."
James's eyes became slightly wet; sometimes Jessica's maturity was heart-wrenching.
He hated himself for not giving her a happy marriage, making her go through so much pain and regret at such a young age.
James suddenly thought of something and said to her, "You stay here with grandpa, I need to go out for a bit."
Jessica thought he was going to handle some company matters and said, "Okay, you go ahead, I'm here."
At this moment, she would definitely be his strongest support, doing her best to help him relieve his stress.
But James went to a diamond store in Golden Plaza.
The clerk warmly greeted him, "Sir, how can I help you?"
James stood at the counter, looking at the dazzling array of jewelry, and said, "I want to buy a diamond ring. Do you have any recommendations?"
Seeing his extraordinary demeanor and the watch on his wrist worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, the clerk immediately took out the store's most precious diamond rings.
"These are the finest diamonds in our store, perfect in both clarity and size for an engagement ring."
As she spoke, the clerk laid out several rings in front of James for him to choose from.
Thinking about the size of Jessica's fingers, James picked a classic six-prong diamond ring, the diamond shining with a strong, pure, and dazzling brilliance.
"This one."
James directly took out his card and handed it to the clerk.
The clerk was astonished, a ring worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and he bought it without even blinking?
This was the first time the clerk had encountered such a straightforward customer.
She immediately wrapped the ring for James and prepared the receipt.
Looking at the gift box, James's heart inexplicably tightened.
He rarely felt this nervous.
But on the way back to the hospital, his heart was in turmoil, that kind of excitement and helplessness, just like the feeling of a first love at eighteen or nineteen.
When he returned, Gerald was still not awake, and Jessica was sitting by the bed, talking to Gerald on her own.
It felt just like when Gerald could talk and laugh.
The sunlight outside the window seeped into the room through the curtains, the golden light falling on Jessica's pure and beautiful profile, and James was almost mesmerized.
Sensing the gaze, Jessica snapped out of it and reminded, "James, why are you just standing there, not coming in?"
"Oh, I saw you so engrossed, I didn't want to disturb you."
James said as he walked in, holding a black, exquisite gift box.
Jessica asked curiously, "Where did you go just now?"
James put the box aside and seriously asked, "Jessica, is your promise to grandpa true? Will you stay by my side in the future?"
