Pregnant on the Cusp of Divorce Chapter 392
Jessamine stayed up all night after going home. She packed some necessities and booked a flight to Marita for next week. She needed to buy some things to bring before leaving the country. More importantly, she needed to visit Elizabeth's and Willow's graves one more time since it would be hard for her to see them in the future.Since she was pregnant, she was bad at remembering things. So, she jotted down a note of everything she needed to prepare and busied herself until dawn. If she didn't have anything else to do, she would've gone abroad immediately after finalizing the divorce with Thaddeus.Given Thaddeus' stubborn personality, she had a feeling that he wouldn't let her off so easily. He would definitely fight for the children's custody. She didn't have as many resources at her disposal as he did, so the best thing to do was to hide.Jessamine slept lightly all morning. She set her alarm for noon so she wouldn't delay the divorce procedures. She got up, put on light makeup,

Jessamine was surprised. If she recalled correctly, the doctor recommended that Amy stay in bed to recuperate. However, she put her life at risk by joining in on the fun. Amy really put her all into marrying Thaddeus.Unlike Thaddeus, Amy got out of the car with a smile. Her joy at the situation was apparent. "Jessie, you're here early! I even told Ted we should pick you up on the way."Jessamine was tired of this crap. They were already at the courthouse settling the divorce, so there was no need to pick a fight anymore. She didn't want to listen to Amy's mindless drivel. She just wanted to head into the building and complete the divorce.Amy was a lot more talkative now. She didn't look mentally unsound at all, but rather, she looked intelligent and healthy instead. Apart from her slow movements, she didn't look like someone who had been admitted to the hospital. Amy said, "Don't worry, Jessie. I'll take good care of Ted. You may have been with him for three years, but that does

Just then, Thomas video-called her. Jessamine hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether she should answer it. After marrying into the Holt family for three years, the only thing she felt guilty about was disappointing Thomas.Thomas had just discovered her pregnancy and was as happy as a child. He even hired a nutritionist and asked Joe to deliver supplements several times a day. He protected her and cherished her as one of his own. But now, she had to hide her and Thaddeus' divorce from him.She stared at Thomas' caller ID on the screen, unsure if he would notice her sadness. He couldn't take any more shock with his current condition.When the ringing from the phone ended, Jessamine sighed in relief. Then, the phone rang again. It was Thomas once more.Jessamine composed herself and pressed the answer button. But before she could say anything, a van drove straight toward her from the opposite direction. At that moment, she noticed the driver giving her a malicious smile.She wa

Thaddeus ran outside from the crowd, but he didn't dare look at what was within the perimeter. If Jessamine were the one in that accident, he wouldn't know what to do. He kept calling Jessamine, but he never got a response.The crowd in front was talking amongst each other. "It's so terrible! She's bleeding a lot. There's no telling if she can survive. Look at the pool of blood on the ground. It has dyed the road red. She must have lost a few gallons of blood from that accident!" a passerby said.An eyewitness to the accident commented, "This lady is truly unlucky. She was walking on the sidewalk, but that careless driver just drove straight at her and endangered her life. It must be another drunk driver! He really screwed her over!""Oh, I can't even watch. I heard her head had taken a huge blow. She was even pregnant and tried to protect her baby before she died. How could the gods let this happen?" questioned another.…Thaddeus felt his legs had turned into jelly when he heard

Xander stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in a grand office building in Hajera. His eyes burned with anger. He had only left Zenville for a few days, yet something like this had happened. He now regretted not bringing Jessamine back to the family. He had no idea how he was going to explain this accident to his grandmother back home."I hired you people to protect Ms. Patton, and this is what you do? I can't believe this happened when I've only been away for a few days! You better be begging for mercy after you settle things for Ms. Patton! I'm not paying for useless pieces of trash like you!"Xander was currently on a call with Charlie Collins, his assistant who had worked with him for seven years. If looks could kill, Charlie would've been dead by now. Since he messed up such an important job Xander had given him, he was on thin ice.He was too scared to say anything. He even had to muster a lifetime's worth of courage to tell Xander about Jessamine's car accident.

Joe instinctively lowered his hands to his sides and clenched his fists. Feeling nervous, he lied, "Not yet, Mr. Thomas. Madam Jessamine will be fine, so don't worry. "She must have accidentally broken her phone. She'll call you after she gets a new one. You should eat something, Mr. Thomas. You haven't even had dinner yet. You can't starve yourself in your condition."The people Joe had sent had already found out about the horrific car accident in the afternoon. He was sure that the accident had happened near the courthouse. Jessamine got into a car accident as soon as she and Thaddeus got divorced. What was even worse was that Thaddeus even married that crazy bitch Amy right after.Jessamine didn't have any relatives with her when the accident happened. The kind-hearted passersby were the ones who had called the ambulance. At that point, she had been lying in a pool of blood. Joe didn't even have the guts to look at the photos his subordinate had sent him. It was bone-chillin

Jordan parked in the Healthstone Hospital's parking lot. He had accelerated the car so much that the wheels were almost smoking.Jordan got out of the car and opened the door for Thaddeus. The latter had been silent the entire journey, his eyes fixed on his blood-stained hands. Jordan had tried to wipe it clean but to no avail."Mr. Holt, we've arrived at the hospital," he said. "I found out that the ambulance had brought Mrs. Holt here. Let's get out of the car."Thaddeus immediately returned to his senses. He looked up at his assistant and asked slowly, "Mr. Rhodes, how much blood do you think someone needs to lose before they die?"Jordan's heart dropped, and he quickly comforted him, "Please don't say that, Mr. Holt. If Mrs. Holt were dead, the people wouldn't have brought her here. She must be waiting for you in the ward. Let's go inside and have a look."Thaddeus was a man who had seen it all and wasn't afraid of anything. But right now, he didn't dare to follow Jordan insid

Jordan stepped forward, then heard the sound of the car door closing behind him.Thaddeus slowly caught up with his assistant. Of course, he would be sad, but he had to be by her side at a time like this, no matter if she was dead or alive. He couldn't leave her alone anymore. She had already suffered a lot after marrying into the Holt family.At this moment, a scumbag like him realized that he couldn't allow her to be alone anymore, even though he had already caused something irreparable to happen.Jordan stopped walking and turned to hold Thaddeus steady. As soon as they left the parking lot, several men in black suits stopped them.The men who stopped them were strong and muscular. They looked like private bodyguards.Thaddeus vaguely remembered that these men were the very same people who had stopped him from approaching Jessamine at the scene of the car accident. Back then, he was so preoccupied with Jessamine that he didn't have the time to wonder where they had come fro

Thaddeus was dumbfounded. Why hadn't he considered using blood types to eliminate the possibility first?"My dad has type O blood."Jessamine's stroked his Adam's apple softly and deliberately. "My mom has type B blood, and I have type AB blood. Do you think it's possible that we could be long-lost siblings?"Thaddeus thought for some time and couldn't help but burst out in hearty laughter. It was impossible for someone with type B blood and someone with type O blood to have a child with AB type blood. What was he worrying about?At that moment, he couldn't believe how foolish he'd been. Biology was his best subject in school, yet he didn't think about this until Jessamine reminded him. His biology teacher would be furious if they knew."Why didn't you say so earlier, Jessie?" He regretted not talking to her about it sooner and ended up suffering in prolonged silence by himself.After Jessamine got bored touching his Adam's apple, she started playing with his rough chin. "I just

Jessamine lay still for a long time, aware that Thaddeus was also awake, battling insomnia just like her.This visit to Zenville to solve one mystery ended up bringing her an even bigger one.The gathering took place years ago in the restaurant owned by Benji's family. She had even asked Benji about it. The surveillance footage from over 20 years ago wouldn't be around now, and even the staff had changed several times. The restaurant's manager from back then had left the job many years ago.It wasn't easy to uncover the truth from back then unless they found the people who were directly involved. The closer they got to the truth, the more pressure she felt.By investigating this matter now, she was essentially peeling back the layers that had been hiding a much deeper issue. As she confronted the dark side of human nature, the ultimate victim ended up being her beloved mother.If Jessamine didn't look into this matter, she felt like she would be letting Elizabeth down. She wanted

Thaddeus frowned immensely at his request. "Don't be ridiculous!""I'm serious. You could help me rent one too. You know, the kind that charges by the day. I'll fool my dad first. We'll deal with everything else once he gets better," Benji said.Thaddeus cursed inwardly, "Dude, don't drag me into this, especially with my wife watching. It sounds like you're implying I have ways to get or rent women."Thaddeus glanced back at Jessamine and said, "I don't know about this. You should ask someone else. If you're at your wits end, go ask one of the assistants in your company to help you out."Benji seemed to come to a realization. He said, "It's getting late. You all should go back and rest. There are doctors here. I'll stay and keep watch."Jessamine asked, "Can you handle this on your own, Mr. Moore?""Sure, thank you… all of you," Benji replied.After saying a few more words of comfort, Jessamine and Thaddeus went downstairs to the car. Thaddeus' phone started ringing again."Mr.

Maya also knelt by the bed and started crying."Dad, don't speak for now. Please be okay."Benji zoned out. Seeing Carmen and Maya crying, his mind was in a mess. He realized that he couldn't continue to live aimlessly—his family needed him now."A girlfriend, a girlfriend..." he mumbled, not even sure of what he was saying.The doctor hurried to the room upon hearing the call, checked on Jonathan again, and then sent the family away."The patient needs rest and should avoid additional emotional stress. You all can wait outside for now. There's no need for everyone to be here, one would be enough. The room can be stuffy if there's too many people here, too."They then left the room. Benji was holding the X-ray images of Jonathan's brain, but he couldn't make any sense of it. He felt completely lost.Shane quietly slipped away from the crowd after watching from afar. He went to an empty hallway and called his father. "Dad, are you free to analyze some X-ray images? It's for a fri

Benji had always lived a smooth and pleasant life. It hit him hard after hearing what the doctor said, leaving him in a state of shock and bewilderment."Mom, hasn't Dad always been in good health? How did he suddenly..."Carmen's eyes were red and swollen from crying."He mentioned feeling dizzy a few times recently and said he'd go for a check-up but actually never did. Plus, he's been swamped with work lately and hasn't got any time. Today, he suddenly fainted at the office. His assistant called an ambulance right away and brought him to the hospital. By the time I got the call, he was already being examined inside."Benji's face turned pale. With Jonathan down, the burden of supporting his family fell on him. He had been free from responsibility for the past 20 years, and now, suddenly having to shoulder this heavy load, he felt completely lost.His father had been asking him to get familiar with the company's operations a long time ago. However, he was too lazy to bother abou

Benji never had any grand ambitions. From the day he was born, people always told him that he didn't need to worry about anything since most problems in this world could be solved with money, and his family had plenty of it. He just wanted to drift through life."I don't need to surpass him. As long as I can cover my daily expenses and not have to ask him for money, that's enough," Benji replied.As they were talking, Shane had prepared a table full of dishes. He set out four sets of plates and cutleries before calling everyone over to eat. "It's time to eat."The four of them hadn't seen each other in a long time, so they had to have a drink.Jessamine looked at the beautifully prepared dishes on the table and couldn't help but offer a compliment. "Shane, your cooking skills have gotten so good."Shane opened a bottle of red wine and poured some for everyone. "What can I do? There's a glutton at home."Benji was not happy with Shane's comment. What did he mean by saying there wa

"It's great that you came by today, Jessie. I'll pay you back the money. Friends who are willing to lend money these days are rare, so I want to thank you again," Benji said.He hadn't repaid the money he borrowed last time yet. Coincidentally, he received some money today, so he decided to settle the debt in person. With that, he picked up his phone to make the transfer.Jessamine's phone chimed, indicating that a payment had been received. The amount was a bit more than what she had lent out."Mr. Moore, I'm not here to ask you to settle your debt. You can keep it for now. I won't need the money for the time being," Jessamine said."If one borrows and returns promptly, borrowing again won't be difficult. You're much easier to talk to than Thaddeus. Despite knowing him for so many years, borrowing money from him is such a hassle. You saw it last time yourself. That scoundrel's attitude was terrible!" Benji complained.At this point in the conversation, Thaddeus happened to arrive

Thaddeus tightened his grip on Jessamine's slender waist. "What am I going to do with you, Jessie?"He thought to himself that if things really were just that coincidental, he would rather play the fool and pretend to know nothing at all. He just couldn't leave her.Jessamine asked softly, "How about you ask your dad?"Thaddeus paused for a moment and took out his phone to call Corey. He couldn't calm his mind at all.After a few seconds of hearing the dial tone, the call was answered."Dad," Thaddeus said.On the other end of the phone, Corey was about to go to sleep. He had been adjusting his routine lately, aiming to go to bed early and wake up early."What’s up?" Corey asked."Do you remember the gathering over 20 years ago with Mr. Hardy, Jacob Langston, Leon Lincoln, Paxton Loomis, and a few others?"After that, Thaddeus added, "That night, a beautiful woman came over. She drank some alcohol and was drugged."There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the ph

On the other side, Jessamine and Thaddeus got into the car.Jessamine and Beatrice were quite familiar with each other. However, it was Jessamine's first time meeting Sabastian. Surprisingly, she had a pretty good impression of him."Do the Hardy and Holt families have business dealings with each other?"Thaddeus drove as he answered her question, "We don't have much interaction. We would occasionally invest in small projects and conduct some charity work in Zenville together."Mr. Hardy is an upright and trustworthy person. He has a good relationship with Grandpa. Hayden would often come to my house with him when I was young."Jessamine paused for a moment and asked, "Does he have a wife?""Hayden's mother passed away from an amniotic fluid embolism during childbirth. Since then, Mr. Hardy has remained single and never remarried."Jessamine was deeply moved. In this era, who would remain loyal for a lifetime to their deceased wives? Most men like Sabastian, who had both power a
