CHAPTER 390: CHAPTER 398: KOA’S CONFESSION - REQUESTING VOTES (8)

"I said," Koa Jackson brought his thin lips close to her ear, using an unbelievably gentle and indulgent tone, slowly, word by word, saying, "I love you. With all the time, passion, and energy I have left in my life, is that okay?"

"Brother Jackson." Mia Ginger laughed and cried, crashing heavily onto his chest and holding him tightly.

Koa Jackson held her even closer, raised his hand to rub her trembling and slender shoulders, and said with a smile, "I rarely make promises and never swear, but I’ll make an exception for you. With this commitment, whether you are foolish or dazed, or in poverty and distress, I will never leave you nor forsake you, care for you and love you, so..."

He straightened Mia Ginger’s body, looking into her eyes, seriously saying, "Deaf or blind or mute, it doesn’t matter—once I’ve made up my mind, it won’t change. Put your mind at ease, consider me your other half, no secrets, no doubts, can you do that?"

"Brother Jackson." Mia Ginger called out aggrievedly, wanting to throw herself back into his arms.

Koa Jackson raised his hand to stop her, "First answer me."

"Hmm." Mia Ginger still threw herself into his arms, holding him tightly, her voice trembling lightly, "I can do it, I’ll definitely try my best."

"..." Koa Jackson paused, amused by the childishness in her words.

Grumbled affectionately, "Fool."

"Hmm." Mia Ginger sniffled in his embrace.

Koa Jackson reached out to pull her.

She suddenly said gloomily, "I need to say something, you can’t get mad."

"Hmm?"

"I think I got some tears and snot on your clothes." Mia Ginger hummed in a small voice.

Koa Jackson: "..."

After a while, resignedly said, "I won’t get mad."

"Okay." Only then did Mia Ginger let go of him, tilted her head up from his chest and looked at him, smiling foolishly.

"Stop looking." Koa Jackson chuckled, ruffling her hair, speaking in a low voice, "You look like you’re asking for a kiss."

Mia Ginger’s face turned red in an instant, pretending she was going to leave his embrace.

Koa Jackson let out a pleasant laugh, pulling her back in.

His palm rested on her hair, gave it a couple of rubs, tilting to one side, he moved to brush her ear.

Mia Ginger shrunk a bit, and from above came Koa Jackson’s deep, soft voice, "Be good, let me see."

Mia Ginger bit her lip and stayed still.

Koa Jackson brushed aside her hair, leaned in closely to take a careful look, stopping as his hand slightly curled near her ear, gently asked, "Did you apply medicine today?"

"Not yet."

"Come, sit over here."

Koa Jackson held her wrist, settling her into the chair by his desk, he also sat down, turned to grab a box of cotton swabs from the drawer.

Then he raised his hand to take Mia Ginger’s bag, pulling out all the medicine inside.

Along with the check-up records and such, he began to look them over.

When he focused on something, he did so intensely and quietly.

Mia Ginger sat beside him without interrupting.

Her heart settled down.

Koa Jackson had whispered such beautiful words in her ear, thinking back now made her feel a little dizzy, as if she was in the clouds.

"Don’t take this medicine anymore."

After a while, Koa Jackson picked out two bottles of medicine from the bag, casually tossed them into the open drawer, and said softly, "Taking so many anti-inflammatory pills won’t help."

"..." Mia Ginger peeked curiously, "Those pills were pretty expensive."

"I know." Koa Jackson offered no further explanation.

Mia Ginger thought briefly and didn’t ask anymore, just hummed quietly again.
