Chapter 599: Chapter 304 Director Forrest, Please Spare Me
Jane Quinlan stepped aside, "Come in, Dad."
She walked to the bedside and sat down next to Kay Forrest.
After Mr. Quinlan came in, he closed the door, pulled out a chair from beside the desk, and sat down opposite the two.
"Where’s Second Aunt? No more chatting?"
Jane pointed outside.
"Your Second Aunt just left."
"Ah? Why didn’t you call us? We could have seen her off."
"She can leave on her own. She’s not an outsider.
Let me ask you, did you just lend money to your eldest aunt?"
"No, I didn’t," Jane shook her head, "I don’t have money to lend to my eldest aunt.
Kay has money, but I can’t just ask it from Kay, can I?"
"Really didn’t?" Mr. Quinlan didn’t believe her at all.
"When your eldest aunt was on the phone just now, I clearly heard your voice inside the room."
"How could that be? Didn’t my eldest aunt say that it was my cousin who called?"
Mr. Quinlan sighed, "Do you really think I’m that senile?
Can I not even distinguish your voice from your cousin’s?
Speak up, whose idea was it?"
Jane was about to say something, but Kay Forrest patted her hand, "Uncle, this was my idea."
"Young Forrest, by doing this, you will make our Quinlan family owe you a great favor."
Director Forrest sighed, "Doing this, what are you going to do if your eldest aunt comes to borrow money again?"
Jane Quinlan frowned, "Dad, don’t say that. My eldest aunt gave me an IOU, she will repay me."
"Repay you? Your eldest aunt is not living well right now.
It’s not because she isn’t working hard; it’s because your cousin-in-law is no good.
Your cousin-in-law idles away every day, deceiving your cousin with empty talk.
Your eldest aunt and uncle are using their entire pension to support those two ignorant kids.
It would be fine if it’s just the two of them being ignorant, but they even left Yunyun in the care of your eldest aunt.
She’s under so much pressure now, where can she find the money to repay you?
We’ve told her many times not to indulge your cousin like that, but your eldest aunt just won’t listen.
If they hadn’t bought that house, it would have been fine, but buying it has just become a burden.
In the future... it won’t be good.
Young Forrest, I know you felt uncomfortable hearing that conversation at the dinner table today.
But I’m not a heartless brother; I have my reasons for not lending her the money."
"Dad, don’t talk about Forrest like that. You know about our family’s issues, but Forrest doesn’t."
Kay Forrest started to smile, "Uncle, don’t get worked up over such things.
It’s alright, consider this 200,000 as my gesture of filial piety to my eldest aunt.
Don’t feel too pressured.
I know that there is a significant gap between the financial situations of our two families.
My actions now might make you feel as if I’m throwing my money around to show superiority.
But that’s really not what I mean.
I just feel that, if I have the capacity to help, I want to lend a hand.
Helping her out solves the problem for my aunt, and you won’t have to feel troubled."
Mr. Quinlan was silent for a moment: "Well, since the money has already been lent, there’s nothing more to say."
He took out a bank card from his wallet and handed it to Kay Forrest: "Young Forrest, take this card for now, consider it as me repaying the money for Jane’s aunt upfront."
"Uncle, what are you doing?" frowning, Kay said, "I really see you as my father, and I see your family as my own, that’s why I gave the card to Jane to deal with this matter.
If this has caused you any trouble, then I apologize.
Please be sure to take this card.
If you act like this, it really makes me feel like an outsider, and it hurts.
I like Jane, and I want her to be happy every day.
If you’re doing well, Jane will be happy.
Earlier at the dinner table, I didn’t speak because I knew about your temperament, and I knew it would be difficult for you, so I didn’t say much.
But now, you’re making me feel like I’m not considered part of the family."
Mr. Quinlan waved his hand: "No, no, no, Young Forrest, you’ve misunderstood. What I mean is, this matter concerns my sister and should not be your responsibility, so..."
Jane took the card and stood up to put it in her father’s pocket.
After putting the card away, she crouched in front of her father: "Dad, don’t be like this. You’re feeling uncomfortable, and Kay’s even more uncomfortable.
If both of you are uncomfortable, then I’m the one who feels the worst.
I felt quite guilty accepting the 200,000 at first."
But thinking about it carefully, I should be so grateful to him for having me in his thoughts.
Dad, Kay Forrest is not an outsider, you keep the card yourself.
I will spend the rest of my life accompanying him to repay his kindness to me.
I accepted the card, so it should not be your responsibility to pay it back.
I’ve already talked it over with Kay Forrest, so you’re not allowed to interfere in this matter.
And... he will be like your own son from now on. If you treat him so distantly, I’ll get angry."
Kay Forrest smiled, "Exactly, uncle, that’s how it should be."
Jane’s father smiled helplessly: "You two kids... Your mom and I always felt that you two weren’t suitable for each other.
Up until today, that’s what I still thought, that you being with Forrest will surely lead to a tough life.
But now, I feel that maybe your mother and I were wrong."
Kay’s voice became much lighter: "Well, on this point, you and auntie were definitely wrong.
Just wait and see, I will make your daughter the happiest woman in the world."
Jane’s father nodded: "Good, I look forward to it. There’s another thing I need your help with."
"What kind of trouble? Uncle, just give your orders if there’s anything you need."
Jane’s father glanced at Jane Quinlan.
Jane Quinlan was puzzled: "What’s up?"
"Forrest, your second aunt wants you to help Jane’s cousin find a job too.
He’s working in Rongford now, and your second aunt wants him to develop his career in Anchester."
After Jane’s father finished speaking, Jane Quinlan covered her face with her right hand: "Oh my goodness."
She somewhat regretted bringing Kay Forrest back with her.
This is practically coming to solve a mystery.
Kay Forrest laughed and tapped her on the head: "Look at you, I haven’t even said anything, and you’re already calling out to the heavens."
After saying that, he turned to Jane’s father: "What does the cousin from my second aunt’s family do in Rongford?"
"He studied medicine, and he’s just getting by in a small hospital in Rongford. Your second aunt thinks that he can’t continue like this without ambition.
Her cousin himself also wants to try his luck elsewhere."
"Studied medicine... Okay, give me his resume when the time comes.
I have a friend who’s the son of the director of Anchester General Hospital.
When I return, I’ll meet his father to see if he can help make some arrangements."
Jane Quinlan asked, puzzled: "Are you talking about that unbelievably handsome doctor I saw at the hospital last time?"
"Unbelievably handsome?" Kay Forrest frowned, looking at her. This girl actually had the nerve to call another man handsome in front of him; she’s asking for it.
"Didn’t you say he was Uncle Er’s friend? What’s his name, I seem to have forgotten."
Kay Forrest gave Jane’s father a fake smile: "Uncle, consider the matter settled then. I need to discuss this with Jane, maybe you should go back and rest first?"
Jane’s father smiled, sensing the jealousy.
"Alright, you two rest, I’ll go out first."
Kay Forrest stood up to see Jane’s father off and then locked the door from inside.
Jane Quinlan, puzzled, looked at him: "You’re not going out later, are you? Why lock the door?"
Kay Forrest walked up to her with a forced smile and embraced her: "Lock the door? It’s time to settle some accounts."
"Settle what accounts?"
"Roman Hughes is very handsome, is he?"
"Ah right, Doctor Hughes, it’s Doctor Hughes." Jane Quinlan clapped her hands as if she had discovered a new continent.
Seeing her expression, Kay Forrest’s face darkened even more; this darn girl.
He pushed her down and pinned her: "He’s handsome?"
Jane Quinlan held back laughter and purposely asked: "Isn’t he? When I was hospitalized, I heard that Doctor Hughes is the star of People’s Hospital.
It’s only today that I found out he’s actually the director’s son."
"What, now that you know, are you planning on something?"
"What if I was thinking of something?"
Kay Forrest smirked: "Keep those thoughts, then," and saying so, he leaned down and captured her lips, kissing her fiercely as punishment.
Jane Quinlan started to regret it; she was truly digging her own grave.
The key point was that the living room was outside, and she wasn’t sure if anyone was there, so she didn’t dare to shout.
Kay Forrest teased her, making her heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys tremble. After a while, he finally released her lips.
Jane Quinlan put her hands together in front of her face, begging for mercy: "Director Forrest, I beg your pardon, I was wrong, wrong."
"Wrong? Tell me, where were you wrong."
"Upon reflection, that Doctor Hughes isn’t that handsome after all. Compared to my Forrest, he’s not on the same level at all."
"Hmm, what else?"
"My Forrest is the number one handsome and heroic man in the world, unmatched."
