She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 309 - GATHERING III

Jade and Winter walked several meters away from the couple but they would stop from time to time, pretending they were looking at something but in reality, they were just making sure that the two won't get lost in the farm.

"Winter, I just want to ask." Cayenne called out to them and walked a little bit faster to catch with them. "This is a farm, right? Why don't I see any farmers?"

"Oh! You might not know this but every time a gathering took place in this farm, our farmers will not be working. Sometimes they'll be joining us but sometimes, they'll go to the city and have a date or shopping time with their families."

"I see. I didn't expect such treatment. I thought they'd be working early in the morning 'til late afternoon from Monday to Sunday."

"I get what you mean. Other farmers really experienced the things that you said but Aunt Venus wasn't that kind of person. When this land was given to her, she decided to make it a farm and hired beggars or homeless families to work for her. In fact, Travis and his family don't get much from the earnings here because they gave it to the farmers, help them build their own homes, send their children to school and donate some of the money to other foundations."

"They're really kind." Cayenne muttered in amazement. In her life, they're the first people she knew who helped selflessly without asking anything in return.

However, when Winter heard the comment 'kind' from Cayenne, she couldn't help but sneer. "Yen, don't think so kindly of them. Our family isn't really kind. If I must say, perhaps, only Jenny, Cayenne's little sister can be considered naturally kind as well as the little kids. As for the adults, well, you can say, they've got fangs to show when needed."

"I think at some point, people will really show their fangs when needed. But still, I am sure that they're really kind person." Cayenne retorted. No one can change her opinion regarding Jillyanna's family.

"Auntie Yen, do you want to play at the swing over there?" Jade interrupted their conversation because her Auntie Winter kept discrediting their family to test Yen. She didn't like it when people close to her were being tested but at the same time, she understood her auntie's purpose of doing so.

Cayenne looked to the direction where Jade's little finger was pointing and found two sings hanging under the large cotton fruit tree. "It won't snap? I'm quite heavy." Just as she finished speaking she yelped in shock because Stefan lifted her suddenly. "W-what…what are you doing? Put me down. I can walk."

"I'm just testing how heavy you are." Stefan grinned before putting her down once again. "It won't snap. A sack of rice is much heavier than you."

Jade who was watching them covered her mouth and laugh softly. They were just like her mom and dad. When she arrived in the orphanage three years ago, she was said to have depression and traumatic experience. At such a young age, she struggled so much on her own after her mother and little sister died. She was all alone. But a new family came, giving light to her dark world, filling her empty heart with love and care. Now, she's surrounded with people who cares for each other and people who were kind and helpful.

And she's thankful that her parents befriended people who are kind and loving just like them.

"Let's go." Jade pulled Cayenne and Winter, and they went to the swing area. It was very near to the flower garden so they took their time to rest at the swing and played for a little while. Since Stefan picked many fruits earlier, they ate them while resting.

After having a short tour around the farm, the four of them came back and joined Jillyanna's family once again. At six in the evening, they started setting up the dinner tables and arranged the dishes that Jillyanna's family prepared in the afternoon. It was this time that another car arrived and a man stepped out of the car with boxes of desserts in his hand.

"Dr. Rivera?" Cayenne asked in whisper when she saw the man.

"You know him?" Stefan asked while nodding towards Eli as a greeting.

"He's known in the hospital and many nurses and patients like him."

"Do you like him?"

"As a person, yes. He's someone who's easy to befriend but I don't like him romantically. So, don't think too much and push back your jealousy."

Stefan kissed her temple and smiled at her. "I'm not jealous."

Eliezer walked towards Jillyanna and Travis, greeted them and the whole family as he put the boxes he brought on the table. When he came and looked towards Stefan, Cayenne was blocked from his view. Now that he raised his head and looked around to greet everyone, he was stunned to see Cayenne in the crowd.

"Yenyen?" he asked while looking at her, making everyone look at him and then to Cayenne. No one expected that the two of them would know each other.

"Good evening, doc." Cayenne greeted him. "I'm really surprise to see you here."

"Likewise." Eliezer walked towards them and stretched his hand out towards Stefan. "I'm Dr. Eliezer Rivera."

"Stefan Dumrique, her husband."

Eliezer smiled upon hearing Stefan's introduction but he didn't comment on it. He turned to Cayenne and grinned. "You finally found the right man for you."

"Yup. It's time for you to find someone as well doc."

"Hn. I'm looking for one already. I just couldn't find her yet." He told her with a faint smile hanging on his lips. He already moved on from his rejected love for Jillyanna but because he loved her for so many years, it's difficult to find someone who can replace her.

He even started paying attention to the single nurses and doctors in Senyu Medical Hospital but none of them was interesting.
