Having no other choice, Jessica told Kelly, "I've caught a cold. I can't let you catch it, so can you sleep by yourself tonight?""You caught a cold, Mom?" Kelly, who was reading the comic books the doctor gave her, immediately put down the book in her hand.She got down from her chair and approached Jessica. Then, she stood on her tippy toes and stretched out to touch her mother's forehead.Seeing this, Jessica quickly bent down so her daughter could reach her. This was an instinctive move as a mother.Kelly became anxious when she felt the heat on her mother's forehead. "I'll get you some medicine."They had cold medicine at home, but all of them were for children, not adults.Seeing that Kelly was about to run out of the room, Jessica grabbed her hand. "We don't have any medicine for adults at home."Jessica didn't get sick very often, so she didn't have medicine for adults at home. Fortunately, there was a pharmacy at the entrance of Cloudshade. She only needed to make a sho
To be honest, that was just a speculation. Jessica looked at the pink umbrella in her hand in confusion.No matter how she thought of it, returning an umbrella shouldn't be something the serious Byron would do. This was simply …Feeling groggy, Jessica opened the door and went into her home.Kelly was waiting for her in the living room. Her eyes lit up when she saw an umbrella in her mother's hand."Mom, you found my umbrella!" Kelly darted toward her and took the pink umbrella with a look of joy.Seeing her happy expression, Jessica felt her body tense, and her breathing accelerated. She was all too familiar with this umbrella. It was the only thing Matthew bought for Kelly.There was one time when Jessica was busy, and it rained when Matthew brought Kelly out. He didn't want to go home and get an umbrella, so he casually bought one. The cheapest umbrella in the mini-mart cost only ten dollars. However, Kelly treated it like a treasure. So, was having a father that important t
Everyone had their reasons for their actions. In particular, Jessica rarely had her own opinions.At any rate, this change in her personality came a little too late. If she had been this assertive back then, she wouldn't have listened to Wendy and married Matthew.Hence, now that she was determined to do something, Kathryn simply followed her lead. She didn't want to affect her decision. After all, people had to learn how to make their own decisions."Alright, thanks." Jessica sighed in relief when Kathryn didn't question her any further.Kathryn said, "Come on, you don't have to thank me."Her sister didn't have to be so courteous. In fact, Jessica had always been courteous. She would always be kind to Kathryn. She didn't want to talk about that man anymore, so she asked, "Is the baby doing well? I'm sorry for not visiting you lately. You know Kelly's condition at the moment."After all, there was a problem with her emotional state. So, Jessica would always be careful when tak
Jonathan looked confused. He didn't understand his words at all.However, Byron's voice became sharper. "Is there a problem?""N-No!" Jonathan wouldn't dare to say anything.But why did Byron give this order? Jessica had already resigned for more than a month. Was it because he wasn't working well? Or did he prefer female assistants?But their company had so many female assistants. Why did he want Jessica, of all people?Jonathan didn't get it. However, he didn't dare to question him. After hearing Byron's gloomy tone, he quickly said, "I'll ask her right away."After saying that, Byron had already hung up the phone before he could ask him when he would arrive at the company.Then, were they still having this meeting? All the executives were waiting in the conference room....After Jessica got some fresh air, she was freezing when she returned. She took the medicine she bought last night. Her head felt dizzy, and she wanted to sleep.She looked at Kelly, who was hugging the
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries before hanging up.Jessica didn't have any suspicions about Jonathan's phone call. Maybe it was because she had a cold and lacked the energy. She checked on what food to order for Kelly for lunch. After setting a delivery time, she fell asleep on the sofa.Seeing this, Kelly got a blanket from the bedroom and carefully draped it over her....When Byron arrived at the company, Jonathan sighed in relief when he saw him. There were only five minutes left before the meeting began. He approached his boss and asked respectfully, "Didn't you go home last night, Mr. Hunt?"Since Byron didn't answer his calls, Jonathan was worried that he would change the meeting time. So, he called the people in Heritage Heights to ask about it.As a result, the butler said he didn't come back last night. Heritage Heights was the place Byron went to every day. That meant he spent the night away from home, right?Where did he go? Did he hang out with Joshua and
After making some calls, Irina found out Markus had gotten out of jail because there was insufficient evidence. Even so, he still stayed in there for 24 hours.That way, they had done some damage to him like Tally wanted.When Irina heard that he had arrived at the Skyline Group, she rushed over. However, he was in a meeting. She had to wait until almost lunchtime before he came out of the conference room.Markus' expression turned gloomy when he saw her sitting in his office. At the first moment, he said rudely, "Who the hell let you in here?"Hearing his angry tone, Irina knew he was furious. It made sense for him to feel this way. After all, the woman he cared about had locked him up in jail. No one would be able to handle that.But seeing how he treated Tally, was she really the one he loved? If she was, Irina had to admit that it was a misfortune to be the object of Markus' affections. He was simply stubborn to a fault.Irina met Markus' sharp gaze and coughed. "Well, why do
When Markus heard Irina's words, he said nothing in response. He simply glared at her.Seeing his silence, Irina understood the situation. If it were in the past, she wouldn't be talking to Markus about this. But now that the situation with Tally had reached this point, there was no need to be secretive anymore.Besides, even if she gave Markus some advice, he might not be able to do it right since he was just a muddleheaded fool. "Account fraud is no joke. Do you think Ms. Johnson will go soft on you if you send her to jail?"Markus remained silent."Or do you think that Mr. Glenn won't be able to get her out of jail?""Hah! Are you trying to tell me that Victor is amazing?" Markus mocked in disdain. He clearly didn't respect Victor at all.As Irina watched him acting dandy, she straightened her expression. "I don't know if Mr. Glenn is amazing or not, but he does feel pity for Ms. Johnson."She was telling the truth. After Markus left the Albert group and Tally made a wrong
Upon leaving Markus' office, Irina uttered curses incessantly, leaving the secretarial department in stunned silence. When Byron and Jonathan entered the elevator, they heard profanity. The two looked at each other, wondering which worker it was.When they saw Irina walking around the corner, Jonathan was speechless. Wasn't she one of Victor's subordinates?Byron recognized Irina at a glance.Irina was still consumed in rage. So, she didn't notice Byron and Jonathan in the elevator and even swore like a trooper.Jonathan couldn't help but grimace at her words. He glanced at Byron, whose expression was turning more sullen. He quickly shouted, "Ms. Mitchell!"Hearing his call, Irina looked up and saw Jonathan and Byron in the elevator. This time, she didn't bother to be polite. She strode into the elevator and started complaining to Byron.Even though she didn't swear in front of Byron, she voiced her complaints harshly, visibly upset with Markus' behavior."He's just awful.
