Jessamine felt listless and had no appetite. She glanced out the window, noting that the nearby cemetery wasn't far away."Thaddeus, can you please drive me to the cemetery? It's been a while since I last visited my grandmother's grave.""Okay."Now, he agreed with everything she said.Thaddeus activated the GPS and headed to the cemetery located in the northern suburbs. As he stopped at a red light, he retrieved a lollipop from the glove box and gave it to Jessamine. Jessamine was momentarily taken aback."Why do you have a lollipop in your car?""The last time I bought toys for the children, they came with some treats. I'm concerned that they could be bad for their teeth, so you can have them instead."He simply wanted to bring a little joy to her at that moment; a piece of candy might not have made a huge difference, but it could help to alleviate some of the sadness.Jessamine wiped her nose, unwrapped the candy, and popped it into her mouth.Upon reaching the cemetery,

Jessamine slept right through lunchtime. As the afternoon sunlight streamed in, she rubbed her eyes which still felt sore. She might have cried too much.The surroundings gave her the illusion of traveling back in time. The familiar room, its familiar arrangements, and even the ornaments on the bedside table hadn't changed—it was still what she had picked up from a small trinket shop.Jessamine picked up a kitten figurine beside her. She had bought a pair, and there was one on Thaddeus' bedside table as well.When they were placed on the bedside table, Thaddeus was very annoyed. He said they were fragile and would take up too much space and that it made everything look messy. He was the kind of person who preferred things to be neat and didn't like having anything on his desk.Jessamine wanted to change his reserved nature, so she deliberately went against his preferences and insisted on placing things on the table. Although he didn't like it, he didn't do anything to stop her and

Thaddeus leaped out of bed to find the medical kit, then placed the thermometer under Jessamine's armpit. After a while, he took it out and saw it read 102.4 degrees Fahrenheit—a concerningly high temperature.He quickly dialed Erik's number again."Dr. Fisher, her temperature has risen to 102.4 degrees, and she has a sore throat and hoarse voice. Plus, she feels weak and has no appetite. Please come over right now."He felt that it was difficult to explain over the phone, so it would be better to have Erik come over."Mr. Holt, do you have any fever-reducing medicine at home? Take some ibuprofen first. I'll be there right away.""Dr. Fisher, we're at Jardin Estate.""Understood."After hanging up, Thaddeus quickly took out some ibuprofen from the medicine box. He squeezed out a pill into Jessamine's hand, handed her the prepared warm water, and watched her take the pill and lie down.After that, he started pacing back and forth, muttering nonstop. "Is Dr. Fisher taking a stage

With a tall man with long limbs by Jessamine's side, it would be a waste if Thaddeus wasn't put to good use."Do you want me to carry you?""What else?"Thaddeus pretended to be deep in thought. "Shouldn't you at least try to coax me a bit before asking for my help?"Jessamine's ears felt warm, and she wondered what he wanted to do again. "How do you want me to coax you?"After speaking, she glanced at the large hand placed on her body and warned sternly, "Thaddeus, I'm sick right now, so you can't bully me!"Thaddeus gave a menacing smile. "What are you thinking? Do you really think so lowly of me?"Then, he leaned close to her ear and whispered a complaint, "I overdid it a couple of days ago, and now I'm drained because of you. I also need some time to recover."Jessamine felt a sense of joy in her heart. As long as he didn't want to cause her any trouble, she could handle it.Given what he had just said, Jessamine felt confident enough to tease, "I didn't expect even you wo

"Thaddeus?" Out of nowhere, Jessamine called out to Thaddeus.He looked down at her. "Hm?""Don't you have any other dirt on Colin? Why not reveal it all at once?"Thaddeus snapped back to reality and realized the movie had already ended. No wonder she had time to chat with him."There's not much else. Everything seems insignificant compared to him embezzling a huge amount of public funds. When I was in the visitation room, I was just trying to scare him."There was a hint of disappointment in Jessamine's eyes. "I thought you really had some dirt that could get Colin a heavier sentence. You sounded so convincing when you talked about it in the visiting room."Thaddeus paused for a moment. "I'm afraid he won't tell the truth, so I had to use this to scare him. In reality, my story has quite a few holes, and he was probably just stunned for a moment. Once he has time to think about it, he'll figure it out.""Do you know the people he mentioned at the dinner?"Thaddeus was recount

Thaddeus responded, "Mr. Hardy and Grandpa have a good relationship. He's a decent person."Based on his knowledge of Sabastian, Thaddeus believed that he wasn't the kind of person who would take advantage of someone in a vulnerable situation. He was certain that Sabastian wouldn't mistreat a drunk woman who had also been drugged.Their car stopped outside the Hardy residence.Thaddeus took the gift he had prepared to register themselves, holding Jessamine's hand as they went in.Beatrice was turning 80 that year and was throwing a grand birthday party. She invited all the elite and prominent figures in Zenville, making it a very lively event.Thaddeus was always the center of attention wherever he went. Since he brought Jessamine with him this time, the looks people cast their way were somewhat complicated.In Zenville's affluent circles, everyone was aware of the drama that surrounded this couple before.There was a messy divorce and a car accident, and they were all over the

Sasha swallowed her anger, not wanting to argue with Sophia. Speaking with her would only give Sophia more reason to broadcast the incident. In such a situation, her own position would only become more precarious."It's none of your business. Stay out of it."Sophia was not an easy person to deal with. She had a knack for bringing up the most inconvenient topics at the worst times."It looks like your legs have gotten some muscle. Have you been using the sewing machine? How's your sewing skills now? I just bought a pair of pants that are a bit too long, and I was wondering if you could help me with hemming them, Ms. Sasha."Sasha rarely found herself in awkward situations. Usually, in these settings, she was surrounded by people who would flatter and fawn over her. "Are you crazy?"Then, Sasha looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to her. Frustrated, she cursed under her breath and stormed off.Sophia sipped her champagne while Corvus hurriedly came up to her fro

"It looks like your sister is here, too."Thaddeus glanced around. When he just stepped in, he was too preoccupied talking to Jessamine to notice whether Sasha was there.Now that he thought about it, these kinds of events were exactly the sort that Sasha and Heather enjoyed. If Heather hadn't gone abroad, she would probably be here as well."I didn't see her."Corvus glanced at the group. Earlier, he had noticed that Sasha was mingling there, but now she was gone."She might be avoiding you. You've been too strict as her older brother, and she's probably scared of you.""She's afraid I'll scold her. When my mom was around, she always protected her. Now that my mom is no longer here, she knows she doesn't have anyone to back her up, so she avoids me whenever she sees me."Corvus then switched the topic. "How long will you be staying this time?""I'll see what Jessie thinks, but it shouldn't take too long. The kids are about to start school, and we have to attend the opening cer
