Pregnant on the Cusp of Divorce Chapter 795
Xander emerged from the elevator just in time to catch Jessamine as she collapsed.Jessamine had promised to come home for dinner, but Gloria waited all night without any sign of her. When Jessamine didn't answer her calls, Grandma immediately called Xander to find her.When Xander arrived at Jessamine's office building, he saw her car parked in the lot. The car's door was opened, but there was no sign of her. He sensed something was wrong and quickly contacted the building security to check the surveillance footage, tracking her down to this spot.Xander was shocked. In Hajera, no one would dare mess with his family. He wouldn't let whoever took Jessamine off the hook easily."Jessie, Jessie, are you okay?"As Xander tried to wake Jessamine, the suite door swung open. Xander's eyes burned with rage. If looks could kill, he would've done it. When he saw Noah step out, his eyes narrowed.Darn it! It was another one of the Holts!Noah appeared calm, though he still looked somewhat

Xander hurried over and asked, "How is Jessie?"The doctor smiled faintly, reassuring him, "Mr. Patton, there's no need to worry. Ms. Patton is alright. She has no injuries, and there's no sign of assault. It seems she's unconscious from extreme fright. "I've taken a blood sample, and we'll have the results in about 15 minutes. From my initial assessment, it looks like she was sedated and possibly ingested something else. We'll know for sure once the results are back."Xander's dry throat swallowed hard, his anger subsiding somewhat."Was the examination thorough? When will Jessie wake?"The doctor chuckled softly. "Mr. Patton, please trust my expertise. Ms. Patton is frail and slightly anemic. I've started her on an IV drip, and she'll be moved to a regular ward. "You can arrange her admission now. We'll wait for the blood test results to determine when she can be discharged."Xander kept his gaze fixed on Jessamine.He called the driver and instructed him to handle the admi

Jessamine felt a wave of sadness, and tears welled up in her eyes. She was like a child who had been wronged and finally saw her parents.Now, Jessamine couldn't deny that Xander was her pillar, providing a sense of security that no one else could replace.Different from the feelings brought by Thaddeus, this familial reliance made Jessamine feel grounded and at ease. She'd have unconditional support and trust, no matter what happened. Xander's brow twitched. He reached over to help Jessamine adjust her bangs."You're safe. Don't worry," Xander reassured Jessamine.Jessamine knew she was safe; nowhere else made her feel safer than being with Xander.Men might leave her or betray her, but her family would do none of that.Jessamine shifted in bed and sat up against the headboard."Xander, I was supposed to go home after work. In the parking lot, I ran into Noah. He's a lunatic —"Xander cut Jessamine off, not wanting to hear the rest. His beloved cousin had almost been violate

Jessamine looked at Xander with trepidation, like a high schooler caught in a forbidden romance, bracing herself for a lecture. It wouldn't have been a problem if Xander approved of Thaddeus. The real issue was that Xander already saw Thaddeus as a complete jerk.Jessamine was extremely nervous.After a brief pause, Xander asked, "Why aren't you picking up the call?"Jessamine was so nervous that she began to stammer. "My phone's battery is low, and I didn't bring my charger. I still need to call Grandma later."Jessamine thought her answer was justified. She then declined the call once again.Xander felt a headache coming. Jessamine was of age to be married soon! He thought that he should introduce a decent guy to her so that Thaddeus would stop bothering her.Xander placed the water cup on the small bedside shelf. "If you don't say anything, I'll just get them to buy you whatever they want."Jessamine froze for a moment before realizing Xander was waiting for her answer about

While they chatted, Xander entered with the breakfast his assistant bought.Jessamine heard the door open and whispered softly, "Let's talk later. Xander's back."With that said, she promptly hung up the phone.Thaddeus had much more to say but missed his chance. Collapsing back into bed, he breathed in the scent of the room, catching a hint of Jessamine's fragrance. After comforting himself for a moment, he got up to wash up.When Thaddeus arrived at the office, he immediately started making calls to get everything set up. Once it was all arranged, he instructed Jordan to take Jessamine's and Colin's hair samples to the hospital for a paternity test. He also stashed a copy of Colin's sample in a drawer, ready for comparison once they received the materials from Frence.He suspected there might be undisclosed truths about Jessamine's background. As for Colin, he didn't trust anything he said.Thaddeus strongly suspected that Burry, now in Frence, was related to Jessamine by blood

"Bring us some coffee."The secretaries breathed a sigh of relief and quickly dashed off.Heather looked worn out. Her tired, bloodshot eyes suggested she hadn't slept well. She seemed thinner and more exhausted than before. Without her extravagant jewelry, it was hard to see her as someone wealthy.Heather had pushed herself into this state after just two days of Sasha being locked up.Thaddeus felt a twinge of heartache, but despite his emotions, he was determined to teach Heather a lesson. He intended to make her change the indulgent way she had been treating Sasha for many years.Thaddeus stayed silent, waiting for Heather to erupt.Thaddeus knew Heather well. As she walked into the office, her emotions predictably spiraled out of control."Thaddeus, please, I'm begging you. I have no other option. Sasha won't survive there; it's no place for anyone. Yes, she's made mistakes, but we have the means to bail her out. Can't we just settle this with money? We could offer them a h

Back in Hajera, Jessamine's body had completely recovered after a night's rest.Xander watched her finish breakfast while he handled official business in her ward, showing no intention of leaving. His assistant kept coming back and forth, not only delivering documents but also reporting on various work matters. He was as busy as a bee all morning long.Jessamine paced back and forth out of boredom. She wanted to leave the hospital, but Xander wouldn't let her. He insisted she stay until the end of the day and complete the discharge process the next morning."Xander, maybe you should go back to the company. I'm feeling pressured with you acting like this," Jessamine said.She didn't want to hinder his work with her own needs. Having been by Thaddeus' side for three years, she knew just how busy a big company's CEO could be.Xander finished signing a document and set it aside. Only after he had gathered all the papers on the coffee table into a folder did he have the chance to look

Jessamine's ward had a good view. When she stood by the window, she could see the hospital courtyard, which had a pavilion and a few other patients taking a walk. She had spent an entire night in a room that was only around 300 square feet, and she was feeling a bit confined."How about you come downstairs and take a walk with me?" Jessamine suggested.Denise coughed, seeming relieved that she had something to do.Jessamine, dressed in her hospital gown, calmly took her phone and stepped out. Before she left, Denise even handed her a thermos with water.The two of them took the elevator and quickly reached the first floor. They exited the inpatient building and walked toward the courtyard.Jessamine finally breathed in the air that had no disinfectant smells. Feeling much more relaxed, she stretched her body and in the next moment, noticed some familiar figures ahead.She paused for a moment and quickly dismissed the thought from her mind.Jessamine told herself that it probably

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
