Jessamine got out of the cab and pulled her suitcase. She didn't notice that the Bentley behind her changed lanes after she left the car.The hospital, which was bustling with people during the day, was now quiet. Today was a full moon, and it was high in the sky, accompanied by a few stars. It remained on its spot in the sky, immune to the passage of time.Jessamine once believed that people couldn't remain frustrated or disappointed forever. After losing her mother and grandmother and being abandoned by her father, she married the man she liked at her most lonely and helpless moment. She once thought that her future would be complete upon having a family. However, reality snapped her out of her delusions.Jessamine returned to her senses and went to Thomas' ward.Thomas had slept more during the day, so he wasn't sleepy at all and was more energetic now. He saw Jessamine with her suitcase, looking like she was about to stay in the hospital with him. He scolded, "Why didn't yo
Before Willow died, she had forced Jessamine to buy the cheapest piece of land in the cemetery so that she could pass on without regrets. Jessamine had been the only person she was concerned for when she passed on. So, she asked her to buy the cheapest piece of land to help her save some money.Her grave was in the corner of the cemetery, so Jessamine went there first and placed the two bouquets. There was dust on the gravestone, so she took out a tissue and wiped it clean.When she saw Willow's photo on the gravestone, she felt a tinge of sadness. She asked, "How are you, Grandma? I'll be leaving Zenville in about 20 days, so I may not be able to visit you so often. "You won't be upset, right? I've made this decision without telling anyone, and I hope you'll support my choice. I don't have the courage to keep living here in this city."Just then, there was a drizzle. Jessamine sat on the ground and cried for a long time, her pants getting wet from the rain. Soon, she composed her
Colin no longer looked like the loving father he had been the day before. Instead, he had a ferocious expression on his face. Margaret also looked as if she wanted to eat her alive."Jessamine, didn't you promise to handle the divorce with Thaddeus today? Where are you running off to?" Colin questioned her as he walked up to her. He found out that Thaddeus was at work in the morning and didn't plan to leave. Therefore, he realized that Jessamine had just made a shallow promise to him and didn't plan to divorce Thaddeus.Margaret scolded, "I think you just want to keep my future son-in-law to yourself, you bitch! You should be more sensible and have some dignity. There's no point in keeping a tight leash on him. "Mr. Holt and Amy are a perfect match. You were the one who broke them apart, you bitch! Otherwise, I would've gotten a grandchild sooner rather than now."Jessamine wiped her wet hair and said, "You're the one who should have dignity. After all, being a homewrecker runs
Margaret would never let her daughter go through that kind of anguish. No one should have to go through such a terrible ordeal.Since Colin couldn't do anything to Jessamine, it was up to her to help Amy eliminate her obstacles. "I have something to do, so I'll be heading home. You should keep Amy company." Margaret composed herself and seemed to have made a big decision.Colin cocked his head. "We're already here. Aren't you going to see her?"Margaret explained, "I think I've forgotten to turn off the stove while making some broth, and the maid has taken a break. If I don't get home, the house will be on fire.""Hurry up and get home then!" Colin urged.Margaret hurriedly left the hospital. As Colin watched her leave in panic, he cursed, "What a useless bitch! You can't even remember to turn off the stove."…Jessamine returned to Thomas' ward, drenched in rain. Thomas felt distress upon seeing her. "Why didn't you bring an umbrella with you, you fool? Go and get changed. Don'
Thaddeus opened a gap in the door and leaned in. Then, he quickly closed the door again.Jessamine looked at the intruder warily. "W-What are you doing?"She didn't cover herself, but instead, she instinctively covered her belly.Thaddeus swallowed at the sight of the naked Jessamine. "Did you fall?"Jessamine looked at him warily as she slowly moved away from the wall and stood up straight. Her bath towel was just a step away, hanging on a clothes rack. She wanted to grab the towel and cover herself.Although both of them were familiar with each other's bodies, she felt embarrassed being the only one exposed. She stepped forward, but she was caught off guard and slipped again. This time, she fell into Thaddeus' arms. Fortunately, he was nimble enough and held her steady.Jessamine cleared her throat awkwardly and was about to struggle to get out of his arms.Thaddeus held her waist with his hand and remained silent. He simply stared at her.Jessamine didn't know if it was beca
Thaddeus silently wondered if he would regret his decision. If he continued to persist in this marriage, Amy would kill herself along with her baby. If that happened, he would feel even more regret than he currently did. Soon, he felt his hesitation disappearing. Divorcing Jessamine might be the only way to get out of this impasse, even if he had to hurt her to do so. Therefore, he complied with any of her requests. Since she wanted his shares, he would give them to her.After Thomas lectured Thaddeus, he looked at Jessamine, his expression turning gentle. "Jessie, I've found a few young men who would be perfect for you. You can get to know them when you have the time. Don't worry. No one will look down on you with me around."After saying that, he waved to Joe, who was standing beside him. "Give me my phone."Jessamine didn't expect Thomas to be serious and find some men of suitable ages. He even asked his assistant to make a list of their families, occupations, hobbies, height,
Jessamine panicked for a moment. "I'll go there myself. Since you're busy, you don't have to worry about me," she said"I'm not," Thaddeus insisted.Thomas couldn't help but snap at how Thaddeus and Jessamine were trying to be cordial. "Why shouldn't he be there? Screw that! Let him line up for a number to the clinic! His legs aren't just for show!"Jessamine silently left the ward with Thaddeus in tow. He looked languid as if he was happy to be ordered around by her.Jessamine looked back at the door of the ward. She dared not order an intimidating man like Thaddeus around. Fearing that Thomas would overhear them, she whispered, "I'm fine on my own. You really don't have to tag along. Just go and do your thing."After saying that, she sneezed.Thaddeus scoffed. "Cut the crap. We're running out of time to head to the clinic. If I don't tag along, Grandpa will blow a gasket when he finds out."He walked toward the elevator, and this time, Jessamine walked behind him."I didn't c
Jessamine was half asleep the entire time. She knew that she was being held in his arms and that she shouldn't let him do this, but she didn't have the strength to bother. It felt really comfortable to be in his arms.People were the most emotional when they were sick. She nestled into his chest, her eyes turning watery. At this moment, she craved his gentleness, but at the same time, she cursed her vulnerability. She could never feel peace when it came to him. He just had what it took to make her confused.Soon, they arrived at Jardin Estate. Thaddeus carried her out of the car while Jordan hurriedly rushed forward to open the door.Lana had just returned home after giving Amy food. She quickly ran over when she saw Thaddeus. "What happened to Mrs. Holt?"As Thaddeus carried Jessamine upstairs, he told Lana, "Bring her a cup of warm water and some soup. She has a fever."He carried her back to their master bedroom. After putting her down on the bed, he loosened his tie.It was n
