Chapter 37 The First Time She Saw Him Smile
“Jonathan,” Angela called out sharply. Her bright eyes were gleaming even more intensely.
Jonathan appeared much better than he had in the past few days.

In her previous life, she had missed out on so much. Now, with a second chance at life, she had finally
found hope.
As long as someone was alive, there was always hope.
Filled with enthusiasm after calling out, she skipped over.
Upon spotting him sitting alone, she dashed over with a goofy grin and moved him from the shadows
into the sunlight by the floor–to–ceiling window. “Jonathan, come and bask in the sun. It’s good for your
health.”
Jonathan was instantly bathed in the golden sunlight, and his honey–colored skin glowed in its
embrace.
He cast his gaze downward to observe the sunlight shining on his knees. The cold expression on his
face softened a bit. “Sure.”
Having guided him into the sunlight, she pulled out a box of double–layered milk pudding and offered it
to him.
“Jonathan, you won’t find this outside. Give it a try.”
The double–layered milk pudding she made was different from the homemade variety. She opted for
the kind available in modern tea shops, which featured a slightly firmer gelatinous texture that blended.
seamlessly into the milk tea, while still maintaining a delightful softness and tenderness.
Jonathan examined the double–layered milk pudding in his hand, and as he did, he narrowed his eyes.
slightly.
Opening another box, Angela handed it to Sebastian and teased, “Sebastian, you should try it too.”
Despite Sebastian’s desire to eat, he hesitated to do so in front of Jonathan. He took it but remained
still and attentively observed the latter’s reaction.
Jonathan rarely indulged in regular meals, let alone sweets. Most of the food Carrie prepared ended up
in his possession.
The double–layered milk pudding displayed a creamy white hue adorned with a scattering of shiny red
beans. A single glance hinted at its delectable taste.
Upon taking a bite, it practically melted in the mouth, delivering an instant burst of rich milk flavor. It
was indeed a delightful dessert and quite rare.
Jonathan didn’t have much of a sweet tooth, but seeing Angela staring at him and seemingly waiting for
his evaluation, he took a spoonful and tasted it, and his lips curled slightly. “It’s delicious.”
Angela’s eyes widened.
Jonathan could actually smile!

In both her past and present lives, she had seen him many times, but he always seemed like he was
incapable of smiling and always maintained a cold, unapproachable demeanor.
Christopher once mentioned that Jonathan was not only physically unwell but also emotionally numb.
He even treated his father and grandfather coldly, unlike a normal person.
Jonathan’s faint smile disappeared. “What’s the matter?”
Even though she didn’t know the dispute between Jonathan and the Sanders Family, since Jonathan
was kind to her, a stranger, it seemed that the problem lay with the Sanders Family.
Angela snapped back to reality and beamed at him. Jonathan, this is the first time I’ve seen you smile.
You look fantastic when you do. There’s a popular guy at our school that many girls like, but I think he’s
not as handsome as you!”
“Really?” He looked at her for a moment, then lowered his eyes and responded indifferently. “Do you
like
him too?”
Oh no, Jonathan wouldn’t think she was fickle, would he? That she had dumped Christopher and now
liked the popular guy, that she was the kind of girl who liked whoever she saw?
Angela swiftly shook her head. “No, no, I don’t even know him! You’re way more handsome, and you’ve
got wealth. If I were to like someone, it would be you.”
Angela paused when she realized how strange her words sounded.
“Um… what I mean is, you should smile more. A good mood is a great remedy for illness. Medical
research even suggests that a positive mood can combat cancer cells,” she added desperately and
was unsure if he bought her explanation.
Sebastian, however, was excitedly asking, “Angela, is that true?”
Master Jonathan hasn’t smiled in a long time. When was the last time he did? In the past, he used to
smile, but unfortunately, not anymore… Sebastian tried to remember, but he could only recall the times
from Jonathan’s youth.
Sebastian couldn’t be happier and looked at her as if she were his lucky star.
Angela let out a sigh of relief, turned around, and started explaining to Sebastian, “Maintaining a good
mood is beneficial for your health. Look at me. Even when people annoy me, I find happiness
eventually. As the saying goes. Don’t get angry when others do because it won’t help you. If I die of
anger, who would be pleased? Besides, it’s exhausting and harmful.”
Upon hearing “don’t get angry,” he understood.
Jonathan rarely lost his temper, and he was consistently somber. In the future, Angela knew she
needed to make more effort to brighten his spirits.
Although she was young, she had profound knowledge. As Charlotte Fisher’s granddaughter, she was
truly a valuable asset. It was a good idea to have Angela visit more often to share her wisdom with
Jonathan.
As they talked, Jonathan finished his double–layered milk pudding, and his previously uneasy
expression returned to normal. Angela noticed the small plastic box looked especially tiny in his large
hand when he turned his head.
Chapter 37 The First Time She Saw Him Smile
Seeing him genuinely smile after savoring the double–layered milk pudding she made, Angela’s lips
curled up, and her dimples deepened.
“Jonathan. I’m going to check your pulse again” She was ready to get down to business and was
determined to cure him
Jonathan’s hand rested on the wheelchair’s armrest. Angela reached out with her small hands,
grabbed his hand, adjusted its position, and then placed her own hand on top This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Her demeanor shifted to a serious tone when practicing medicine. Even though she was touching the
hand of someone she found attractive, she remained focused while lowering her eyes to take his
pulse.
Jonathan, looking down, could see her long eyelashes, like the still wings of a butterfly, bathed in a
faint golden light from the sun.
After taking his pulse. Angela sighed in relief. Her eyes curved as she looked up. “Jonathan-
Caught off guard, Jonathan’s eyes met hers. He concealed the glimmer in his gaze and asked softly.
“How’s it going?”
The pulse is steady and stronger than before,” she said sincerely, then added cautiously, “I’m working
on suppressing the onset of the disease and gradually eliminating the toxins. Jonathan, you will
definitely improve!”
His illness had persisted for a long time, so immediate recovery was unrealistic. Nevertheless, each
step forward brought Angela a sense of fulfillment. If the treatment continued, he would undoubtedly
survive!
Watching the joy on Angela’s face, Jonathan’s eyelashes quivered, yet they concealed the bitterness in
his
Many were anticipating his demise, even his own father, who paved a smooth path for his beloved
younger son.
Agreeing to Angela’s treatment was like a game, injecting some excitement into his monotonous life.
Jonathan’s lips curled slightly. “Oh?”
“Of course, don’t you trust me?” Angela widened her eyes.
His lips curved into a smile as he softly replied, “I trust you.”
