Chapter 531 We Have Plans
"Yeah, I get it. Just not feelin' it today. Jimena's waitin' on me, so I'm gonna bounce," Louis mumbled.
He was done with all the emotional talk.
"Louis, they say chicks are complicated, but dudes are just as bad," Pearl teased.
"You're not even takin' care of Christopher, and now you're messin' with me?" Louis shot back, trying to look serious.
Pearl laughed. "I can handle Christopher and still mess with you."
"Go handle Christopher." With that, Louis took off with the porridge.
Pearl watched him go, a knowing smile on her face.
It was obvious he had a thing for Jimena, but Louis was too stubborn to admit it.
Louis brought the porridge to Jimena.
Jimena eyed the bowl in his hand and asked, "Did you make this for me?"
She looked up at him, her eyes shining like stars.
"I only know how to make porridge," Louis said, setting up the small table and helping her sit up.
Even though it was just porridge, Jimena thought it was the best thing ever.
Because Louis made it, showing he cared.
Jimena smiled softly, "You might not cook, but I do. I'll cook for you from now on."
She had big dreams for the future.
But Louis thought she was being too naive.
In a low voice, he reminded her, "Remember, I only promised you a month. Don't get your hopes up; I don't feel that way about you."
It was just a month, but Jimena was already dreaming big. She was definitely getting ahead of herself.
But Jimena didn't see it that way.
She was so hopeful. "You don't know how much I did to be with you. You promised me, and I thought that meant forever."
Her thoughts were that simple.
Louis saw the hope and joy in her eyes and couldn't bring himself to crush it.
But reality was always harsh.
Even in a month, nothing would change between them.
Louis pointed to the porridge. "Eat first, and don't think about anything else."
"Okay."
Jimena was totally obedient to Louis now. She wanted to get better fast to make the most of this month.
With just a month, she wouldn't ask for more time, but she could make the best memories.
Jimena ate slowly, mostly because the porridge was too hot. After she finished, she said to Louis, "I want to see RavenWing."
Louis immediately frowned, his eyes darkening.
"Don't worry. I just want to talk about my injury, nothing else."
Even though Louis had agreed to a one-month trial period with her and she wanted to turn it into a lifetime, she wouldn't take advantage of him.
Jimena looked dead serious, not like she was faking it.
In the end, Louis called up RavenWing.
He gave her some space, not hovering around.
RavenWing waited for Jimena to speak.
Jimena bit her lip and said softly, "I wanna get better fast. I'm tired of being stuck in bed. RavenWing, is there any special medicine I can take?"
She had fought hard for this time, so she had to make the most of it.
"I don't have any magic pills. The bullet went through your chest; you need to rest. Plus, you don't have any missions to carry out."
RavenWing stood there, hands behind his back, looking all indifferent.
Jimena lowered her head. How could she not have any missions?
Louis was her mission. She was desperately trying to get close to him. How could she miss such a golden opportunity?
Seeing Louis's earlier expression, she knew he had misunderstood her. She couldn't bring up Louis to RavenWing again.
"I have something super important to do."
Even if she died right after doing it, she'd be cool with that.
Because then, her life wouldn't have any regrets.
RavenWing had already figured her out. "Is it to get closer to Louis?"
Jimena was seriously hurt, and Louis was by her side. Even now, she wanted special medicine, and Louis was the only reason.
Jimena, being called out, had nothing to hide, so she nodded.
"If Louis can fall for you, I can help you, and so can Pearl," RavenWing said slowly. Jimena looked up, shocked.
She couldn't believe what she heard. She pinched her palm secretly, and it hurt.
So, this wasn't a dream.
If they could help her, then she and Louis could really be together, right?
"This is real. After all, everyone can see your feelings for Louis."
As Jimena was about to say something, RavenWing spoke first.
Jimena was over the moon. "RavenWing, that would be amazing if you and Ms. Mitchell can really help me. I truly love Mr. Mitchell. I'd die for him without asking for anything in return."
"I know." He chose to help Jimena because of this.
"There is no special medicine. Now that you have my word, can you rest well?"
"Okay." Jimena nodded. This was the happiest day she had had in years.
Three days later, Christopher's cold was completely gone, and Pearl and Oscar had planned to catch a flight at 9 PM.
RavenWing wanted to keep Pearl around, so he brought up Louis. "Louis and Jimena have finally made some progress. Louis is close to you, and I hope you can help."
Pearl also wanted to help, but everyone had their own stuff going on. She had already told Louis about Jimena's good qualities. Louis had feelings for Jimena, and eventually, he'd figure it out.
"We've already made our plans. Besides, Jimena's injury hasn't healed yet. Father, Christopher should go back to school. We have plans." Then, she smiled.
