At 10:00 am, Thaddeus changed into casual and discreet attire and walked to the emergency exit according to the map the director had given them. Sure enough, his journey was smooth.He muted his phone to prevent any disturbances. He was determined to stay with Jessamine, no matter what outcome awaited him.After walking through the cold corridor, he walked up the stairs to the ICU on the 19th floor, where Jessamine was being treated. When he came out of the stairwell and opened the door, he felt as if he was standing in the gap between the living and the dead. His heart was in his throat.To his surprise, it was eerily cold outside the ICU, without any signs of life. He walked forward, each step echoing in the corridor.There was only one ICU on this floor. It was a VIP room. Most people in critical condition wouldn't even be there. Clearly, the person who protected her was powerful enough to place her in this VIP room.Thaddeus stopped outside the ward. There was a small glass
Jessamine had never posted a single photo of herself in her tweets. Nor did she boast about her achievements in the industry. Everything she posted was about her life experiences or comments about the weather.She posted about flowers, delicious food, and her cooking skills. She was every man's ideal wife.But unfortunately, she fell in love with Thaddeus, an arrogant man who valued his pride more than anything else. Thaddeus clearly loved her, but he couldn't say anything pleasant to her. He also entangled himself with a lunatic like Amy.Jessamine had already given him a lot of leniency throughout their marriage.After sleeping for four hours, Thaddeus finally woke up. He stared at the ceiling of the ward and asked, "Am I dead?"Jordan quickly poured him a glass of water. "You're in the hospital, Mr. Holt. You've injured your knee and will need to recover for a while. Painkillers and antibiotics are in those IV drips. Have some water for now. The meal I ordered will be deliver
Jordan remained silent. He took out a divorce agreement from his briefcase and handed it to Amy.When Amy saw the title of the document, she trembled with anger. She had only married Thaddeus for a few days, but now, he wanted to divorce her. Even that unlucky bitch Jessamine had married him for three years. Was Amy so unworthy that she only deserved to be his wife for three days?Jordan said calmly, "Mr. Holt had already given his assets to Mrs. Holt before the divorce, and that agreement has been notarized. Even though she neither spent them nor knew about those assets, you never had any claim to them. He had nothing after divorcing her. "As you said, you have control over his assets. But that only applies to the assets he obtained during the three days of your marriage with him. Mr. Holt may have worked to provide for Mrs. Holt, but he has been absent from work during these three days and hasn't earned a single penny."Amy was so angry that she had to take a deep breath to ca
Shane had witnessed Jessamine fall in love with Thaddeus to the point where she even gave up her principles. And now, she even lost her life because of him. Shane had to be feeling a lot of grief. "Are you happy now, Thirsty Ted? Jessie's dead because of you!"Thaddeus was in a daze and didn't respond to Shane's curses.Shane became even angrier. He grabbed the glass of water on the table and splashed Thaddeus' face with it. He yelled, "What are you acting so sad for? You're the reason a good person like Jessie is dead! From the first time she saw you, she focused all her efforts on you and even put her own career on hold. "When you got drunk in the middle of the night, she carried you home from the club despite the severe period pain she had. Jessie even gave gifts to your sister. But she and your mistress plotted against her, and Jessie almost lost her innocence. "When you had your appendix removed, she was the one who stayed by you all day. But where were you when she need
The cab drove through the rich neighborhoods and stopped outside the entrance of a beautiful villa in the best location in the neighborhood. After paying the driver, Thomas slowly got out of the car and rang the doorbell.The household staff of the villa had finished cleaning and completed the work for the day when Thaddeus and Jessamine weren't home. When they heard the doorbell ring, a maid went toward the door. Upon seeing Thomas, she quickly opened the door and respectfully greeted him.Thomas looked around, but there was no sign of Jessamine. He asked, "Where's Madam Jessamine?"The maid answered honestly, "Madam Jessamine hasn't been home for three days. We can't reach her through the phone, and we can't reach Mr. Thaddeus, either. We have no idea what happened, but we can only wait for them."The maid's words made Thomas even more anxious. He went up to the third floor, his hands trembling. The master bedroom and the nursery were on that floor.The nursery was intricately
Thaddeus dared not tell Thomas the truth. He said stiffly, "Grandpa, where are you? I'll explain it to you in person."Thomas was furious. He yelled, "I'm in Jessie's villa. You'd better be home within half an hour and tell me where Jessamine and my great-grandchildren have gone!"After ending the call, Thaddeus sat up with Jordan's help and changed his clothes.Since Thomas had given his orders, no one dared to dissuade Thaddeus from leaving. He would have to explain things to Thomas sooner or later. If he didn't say anything, Thomas would eventually find out the truth on his own. If that happened, the consequences would be dire.The skilled Jordan drove Thaddeus back to the villa as quickly as possible.…Thomas was sitting on the sofa with a murderous expression on his face.Thaddeus pushed aside Jordan's and Joe's hands, which were holding him steady. He did his best to pull himself together and pushed the door open. "Grandpa!" he yelled, his voice so hoarse that it was
After carrying out a series of surgeries on Jessamine in the morning, the doctors notified Xander to prepare for the worst. However, he refused to give up, even if Jessamine's vitality was waning. He brought her back to Hajera on a private plane. To his surprise, after transferring Jessamine to the hospital in Hajera, her vitality returned gradually. Just like that, she had a chance to survive.Hope filled the despair in the Patton family's hearts. They prayed that Jessamine would wake up soon and meet the family that was protecting her. She would never be alone ever again. She had supporters and a family. No one would dare to bully her anymore.Gloria Norman, Jessamine's maternal grandmother, had dry eyes and hadn't cried for years. But now, her eyes were red from crying. "When will my poor granddaughter wake up?" she asked Xander. "Ask the world's best doctors to treat Jessie. I've already lost Elizabeth. If I lose Jessie, I won't be able to keep living."Xander comforted he
Gloria talked about stories from Elizabeth's childhood. "Your mother truly had grand ambitions. After graduating from college, she traveled to Zenville. When she was there, she met your scumbag of a father and insisted on marrying him. "I didn't approve of it, though. I'm not one of those snobbish rich folks, but your father seemed so unreliable and wasn't a good match for your mother. In order to marry him, your mother ran away from home, and they eloped. "Her actions angered your grandfather so much that he fell ill and died within a week of being admitted to the hospital. Let me give you some advice. When you find a partner, you have to spend more time with them. "Observe his personality, his attitude when interacting with others, and his family's views. You can't let your feelings cloud your rationality. When you wake up, I'll give you a hand in finding a new partner."Gloria talked for a long time, but Jessamine didn't respond to her words at all. She didn't even know if Je
