Chapter 1498: Chapter 1498: Hailey Is Trying Her Best
"Jocelyn, in this world, those who can marry their first love, or be wedded to their first love, are very few. As you grow older, you’ll realize that suitability and peace of mind are more important than affection."
"No." Jocelyn Morgan smiled brightly, turning to look at the view outside the window, "No, I think love is more important. A marriage without love is soulless, it’s better not to get married if that’s the case. Peace of mind is something you can give yourself."
Jasmine could understand the trendy ideas of young people, but speaking as someone who’s been through it, she didn’t agree, "In any case, Ian Shelby is not a good match for you. He can’t give you anything."
"Auntie, marriage is like buying clothes. Even if you start by buying a piece you are particularly fond of, how many years can you actually like it? Moreover, in the beginning, you didn’t even fancy that piece, so what’s the point of buying it? It just takes up space and burdens you every day." Jocelyn Morgan asked softly, trying to reason with her.
These words actually touched Jasmine’s heart, and she was a little shocked. How did Jocelyn, being so young, have such a deep insight?
"You just rest well and take care of your health first." Jasmine didn’t want to say more, "I’ll keep your phone for safekeeping, and for now, don’t write your novel. Health comes first."
"Auntie!" Looking at her retreating figure, Jocelyn Morgan called out anxiously, "I want to call Ian Shelby!"
The middle-aged woman paused but didn’t turn around. After a moment, she resumed her steps outwards.
Her attitude was very clear.
This left Jocelyn Morgan feeling helpless. Hearing the sound of the door closing, she sat down on the bed somewhat dejectedly.
Just like that, she was forced to cut off contact with Ian Shelby. There were servants guarding the door, she couldn’t get out.
Downstairs, Jasmine was filled with thoughts, recalling Jocelyn’s metaphor earlier; it made sense, but her concern for Jocelyn’s safety was also a reality.
Following Dr. Shelby, no one could guarantee that future doctor-patient disputes wouldn’t involve her.
"Mom." Hailey Hale, standing beside the sofa with a bulging belly, had been watching the middle-aged woman descending the stairs, immediately noticing her worry over Jocelyn’s situation.
Seeing her daughter-in-law call her, Jasmine looked up and walked towards her, murmuring, "Hailey, what do you think about me not letting Jocelyn continue going out with Dr. Shelby?"
She was sincerely trying to listen to young people’s ideas now, maybe things could be resolved properly.
Hailey Hale was very clever, knowing that her questioning indicated a tendency to compromise, so she wanted to help Jocelyn Morgan and Dr. Shelby.
"Mom, I totally understand your thoughts." She first affirmed, "It’s a worry every elder has, especially since this time everyone was frightened."
"Hmm." Jasmine nodded, settled into the sofa, wanting to hear more.
"But are doctors and police officers undeserving of love?" Hailey Hale analyzed very objectively, "They selflessly dedicate their youth to ordinary people, guarding this world’s peace like heroes, but who will love them?"
At that moment, Jasmine’s heart was touched again, feeling a bit uncomfortable inside.
"Mom, I know you are the most open-minded elder. Back when my dad had an incident like that, you accepted me."
Hailey Hale was filled with gratitude, holding onto her mother-in-law’s hand, blinking her pretty eyes at her, "So this time, could you also accept Dr. Shelby?"
There was anticipation in her eyes, as well as Jocelyn’s anticipation.
