Ero Meter
14 Stepdaughter
Jack looked at his phone and saw that the fifty thousand dollars for raising Nicole's second heart had been sent to his phone.
"I should quit my job."
As now he has the support of the system, he was thinking about quitting his job at Nicole's shop.
Although he knew that it would be hard to give her a resining letter, he would have to do it sooner or later.
"I will tell her tomorrow that I will quit."
Jack placed the phone in his pocket and looked at the sky, it was already painted by the red tint of the evening.
The hospital was in the middle of a small town, so the fifth floor was already quite high, and Jack could see the span of many houses in front of him.
Turning around he opened the glass door behind the balcony and entered the room Meadow was in, he was currently alone in the room with Meadow.
Cassie, Pearl, his dad, and mom have gone home to rest a bit. And Sophie has gone out to get some food for him.
Jack came near the bed and looked at the beautiful lady sleeping under the influence of drugs.
Although her operation was successful, her face was still pale and it would take her some time to heal again.
Jack sat down beside her on a metallic stool and looked at her hand. It was pierced by a cannula in her vein and a IV tube was connected with a fluid on a stand.
She was currently under an opioid analgesic and some other drugs for her heat. Her eyes were shut tight and there were creases on her head, left behind by the constant worries she was under for the past few years.
Jack moved her hand in his, letting his warmth seep into her.
"I won't let anything happen to you ever again." He said, determination flowing through his eyes.
He has been a shy loser all his life, scared of what others will think, and now he has received a gift that could change his destiny. And he didn't want to keep all of it to himself.
He wanted to share his luck with others. That's how his parents raised him, with a philanthropic worldview, they always encouraged him to help others in need.
And this time the person in need is not someone unknown but someone he used to love. Or may still be in love with.
After staring at her for a few more seconds, he stood up and left the room.
Meadow slowly opened her eyes and looked at the door, where Jack has just left, grateful expression appeared on her face.
"This boy, when did he learn to act so cute." She thought.
....
"This girl..." Jack looked at his phone and sighed.
There was a message from Sophie.
"Hey Jack, I am in the restaurant outside the hospital, I forgot to bring cash with me. My wallet is placed below the table in the wardroom my mother is staying. Can you bring it to me?"
Jack didn't take her wallet as he would instead pay for food, as it was because of her mother that he has half a million dollars in his bank.
This was the least he could do.
There was another reason he didn't bring her purse with him, Sophie was a prideful girl, she won't take any more favors from him than she has already taken. And if he takes her purse with him then she would pay instead.
Soon enough Jack reached the restaurant and saw that she was standing at the corner of the front desk with a shameful expression on her face.
"Someone is bringing the money, please just wait for a few more minutes."
A white bag was placed on the desk with food in it.
The receptionist looked at Sophie with a worried expression.
She has seen many customers like her, who look innocent, but dine and dash.
"Madam, the food has already been packed, please pay or we would have to call security." The Receptionist was still respectful in her tone, however, her words hurt Sophie.
'I am so stupid!' She cursed internally.
However soon enough she felt a gentle hand coming over her shoulder.
Her eyes glanced sideways and a warm face came in her view.
Her heart was pacing with nervousness but suddenly calmed down and she let out a breath of relief.
"I will pay for her." A debit card came forward.
Jack said to the receptionist with a superficial smile, he was angry at her.
The girl behind the counter sensed hostility coming from the man, however, she didn't lose her composure.
Just smiling politely she nodded and took the card from his hand. She was embarrassed by her rude words before.
After the payment was done the receptionist looked at Sophie. "Madam, I am sorry for being impatient before. Hope you can understand."
Jack listened to her and nodded.
Sophie also nodded and smiled at her, "Well it was my fault too."
After that, both of them moved out of the restaurant.
"Why did you pay? And where is my purse?" Sophie glared at Jack, as soon as she moved out of the store.
Jack knew this will happen. "Well, I tried to find it but couldn't in the end, I think you lost it because of your stupidity."
His words received a pinch in his arm.
"I know you didn't even look!"
Jack rubbed the place she pinched, and acted like he was hurt.
"I think I should have not come to save your stupid ass."
Another pinch came with his words.
"You are stupid!" She said and walked forward in anger.
Jack chuckled at her reaction, he loved to tease her.
However, suddenly his expression went from happy to worried.
Sophie, who was annoyed was crossing the road in a hurry and didn't even notice the crossing sign.
A car was about to hit her.
Jack quickly moved and hooking his fingers in her shirt pulled her back in his embrace.
Sophie suddenly felt a pull on her body and she flung back.
"What are you doing..." Before she could complete her sentence, she saw a car coming at high speed from the side.
Her heart increased its pace, 'I could have died!'
Another second later she felt a slap on her ass, which made her break out of her stupor.
"Told you, that you are stupid."
Sophie turned around and looked at Jack with tears in her eyes.
When Jack saw tears in her eyes he panicked.
'Did I tease her too much?' Guilt flashed on his face as he was about to start consoling her.
However, something unexpected happened to him.
Sophie moved forwards, getting on her toes she leaned on his body and landed a kiss on his lips.
"Thanks." She said quietly and then looked around to see if anyone saw them kissing.
An embarrassed blush appeared on her face when she saw an old lady smiling at her.
Suddenly Jack received a message on his phone.
Taking it out he saw another five hundred thousand dollars added to his bank.
His brows raised.
He then looked at Sophie's head, her third heart was also filled red.
'So even if I increase the hearts without the help of Sex Meter, I can receive money!'
A smile formed on his face and then he looked at Sophie.
Placing his phone in his pocket he grabbed her face and landed a deep kiss in the middle of the walkway.
Sophie, who was embarrassed because of the previous kiss, suddenly felt another coming her way.
Before she could react, his masculine frame was already on her body.
Her cheeks flushed red as she opened her lips and let him have his way.
"Go get a room!"
Suddenly a voice took them apart, Jack, looked at Sophie, who was currently unable to make eye contact.
"Thanks."
He said.
"For What?" Sophie finally looked at him and raised her brows.
"You know what." A smirk formed on Jack's face.
"You are a pervert." She said and turned around.
However, this time she didn't hurry away and waited for Jack to come with her.
Holding his hand, only then both of them moved toward the hospital.
Outside the hospital, there was a park with many benches.
Jack and Sophie were sitting on one of the benches, eating the food Sophie got from the restaurant.
"I am thinking of dropping from college," Sophie said as her expression turned sad.
Jack looked at her discouraged face and knew what was going on in her mind.
However, he didn't voice out his thoughts immediately and let her vent a little.
"Why?" He asked as he took a spoon full of tomato soup in his mouth.
Sophie looked in the distance, melancholy engraved in her eyes and a sigh left her body.
"Well, I have to take care of my mom and also find a Job. I am the only one left in the family that can earn money."
Jack looked at her expression and pain pierced his heart, she was too innocent and good.
"Well, You are not alone," Jack said and a smirk formed on his face.
Sophie looked at him and raise her brow, "I don't think Mom can work anymore."
"Well, I didn't say anything about Meadow. I will help you to complete your college. After all, you could be my stepdaughter in the future."
