Enchanted By His Charm



Mary seemed to find a vent and just patted him, "What are you laughing at?"

"Okay. Irish knew it. What are you still hiding?" Jay felt helpless.

Mary took a glance at Irish.

"Just say it; otherwise, I will not go on vacation for my honeymoon." Irish put her knife down and leaned against the chair, "Confess the fact individually. Uncle is the first."

Jay thumbed at Irish, "What a pity that you are not a policeman." 

"Stop flattering me. You should also confess something." Irish said.

Jay was speechless, "Is it related to me?"

"You are our family."

Jay felt wronged.

Irish looked at Steven, "Now let's begin." She seemed to question the criminals. 

Mary took a glance at Steven and stared at Irish.

"Confess it separately. Do not talk to each other." Irish drew out her words.

Steven didn't know what to do, so he just said, "Actually, it was your Aunt's idea."

"You trick her. It was not me..."

"Be quiet!" Irish patted the table, "Aunt, wait a moment. Uncle, please continue."

Steven talked about his "convictions" sincerely. "Firstly, I was in the hospital because of coughing." Steven was sincere, with an air of good citizen. "At that time, I didn't take it seriously. I thought that it was just a cold, so I just went to the nearby hospital. However, after taking an X-shot, the doctor said something was wrong. There was a shadow on the picture, which was said to be lung cancer. So, your Aunt took me to the popular cancer hospital."

Irish listened to it quietly.

Steven sipped the wine and continued, "As popular among hospitals, the cancer hospital said that it was lung cancer, and the doctor told me to undergo another series of examinations again. The result showed that it was just tuberculosis, not lung cancer. The doctor also reminded me that I needed to take the treatment as soon as possible; otherwise, it would be worse. I thought that taking some medicine was enough, but your Aunt got the idea that it was a good opportunity to let you two get married soon, so I needed to act and stay in the hospital. I have to follow her plan."

"Finished?" Irish asked.

Steven nodded, "That is the basic situation."

Irish looked at Mary. Mary couldn't stop laughing and said immediately, "It is not true. He was cheating."

"Who was cheating?"

Irish knocked at the table again.

Steven stopped.

Mary continued, "The fact is that when your Uncle knew that he had just tuberculosis, he had that idea to cheat you so that you two could get married soon. I didn't think it was a good idea, but your Uncle insisted on it, so I just let him stay in the hospital. It was hard to approve the application since there were not so many empty wards. You are clear about what has been going on later."

"Liar! You are a liar." Steven knocked at the table, "You are totally a liar."

"Steven, do not make things wrong. You proposed that idea!"

"I didn't say that. You had that idea!"

"You..."

"Was there any third party when you two negotiated this?" Irish asked. Steven and Mary smiled and shook their heads.

"That is to say, nobody can prove that any of you is the chief plotter, right?" 

Thinking for a while, Irish nodded. 

"Why does it sound so weird? Why do we suddenly become like criminals?" Mary wondered.

Irish didn't care about her words, "Then you two are the chief plotters."

Steven and Mary looked at each other.

Irish took a glance at Joseph again.

Joseph still kept lowering his head and didn't say anything. Then, noticing that she was looking at him, he began to confess, "I'm totally innocent. You are clear that I knew the fact simultaneously as you." 

"Irish, we can prove that Joseph is innocent," Mary said immediately.

"Really?" Irish made a forced smile, "You are really a good son-in-law. My Aunt is helping you now."

Joseph faced her smile, "Okay, stop being angry. I'm really innocent."

"You didn't know it initially, but how about later? Is it possible that you didn't know it all the time? It was you who found the expert. Can they make it by persuading the expert to cheat us? Did the expert cheat you?" Irish asked. Do not regard me as an idiot, Irish thought.

Joseph couldn't help laughing, seeing her facial expression, "Okay, it is my fault. I finally found Uncle and Aunt's intentions after talking with the expert. We did it for you. Understood?"

"Shame on you." Irish forcedly smiled and seized his hair, "Why are you so easy to persuade? You cheated me!"

"I shouldn't have done that." Joseph apologized again.

Jay laughed loudly.

"And you, stop laughing! You are also a culprit!" Irish told Jay, "As a policeman, you cheated and helped the gangsters."

Jay explained immediately. "I didn't do it. Do not blame everyone. I am a policeman. I will never cheat you. My only mistake was that I shouldn't have hidden the fact."

"Hide the fact? Do not think of yourself as noble. If you hadn't joined, why are you so calm?" Irish held his waist.

Jay was helpless. He pulled his hands, "My parents cheated me before this way when you were abroad. So, this time I just asked the doctor privately and found out that they adopted this method again."

Irish opened her eyes wide, feeling shocked, "You both had even cheated your son?"

She had also doubted whether her Aunt and Uncle were cheating since they didn't force Jay to marry. Now she found the reason.

Mary smiled unnaturally, "At that time, Jay had a girlfriend. I just thought of this way to force him to get married. However, that girl was unreliable. She hated Jay when he couldn't keep her company, so she just departed with him while hearing the fake news that his dad had an incurable disease."

Irish knew that she was talking about Jay's first girlfriend.

Irish shook her head and sighed, "Are you forcing us to get married or pushing us to depart? What if Joseph was scared away?"

Joseph smiled gently, "I will not behave like that."

"Sure. Joseph will not be like that." Mary smiled.

"Irish, I agree that the way we planned things is terrible. We did it for you. Now everything is just fine." Mary grinned.

"Fine? You thought it was too simple. I was so sad. Do you know that? I cried during these days." Irish complained, but she still felt thankful that her Uncle was healthy.

Human beings' desires were infinite. When they got something, they often wanted another thing, but they forgot that health was the most essential. Human beings often forget something most precious in their life, such as health and family reunions. Actually, a peaceful life was the most valuable.

At that time, Irish thought if there was really a god or faith, she was willing to change her Uncle's health with her thirty years. She was willing to change her family's health for everything. She had lost so much, so she didn't want to see her family leave.
