  Jessica could tell that Morgan was cautious about his words. She then said, "Dad, I assure you and mom that I am fine."

  With that, Morgan let out a sigh of relief. "I know. So, who is behind this rumor? Whoever did this had crossed the line! You have to look into it."

  "I see, Dad. I will ask Wendy to investigate the whole thing. Dad, you and Mom should take care of your health at home. I am fine here. You don't have to worry about me."

  "Sure."

  Seeing Jessica wasn't upset at all, Morgan felt relieved.

  "Then I won't disturb you. I just got off the plane. Don't work too hard. Take care of yourself. Dad is still young, so my baby girl doesn't have to work so hard."

  Jessica smiled, "Alright, I'll hang up now, Dad."

  "Okay."

  After hanging up, the smile on Jessica's face faded a lot.

  She turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window. After a long while, Jessica retracted her gaze and called out to Wendy, "Wendy, ha

      Jessica heard him and took a step back, "Come in then."  Terry walked in, and Jessica noticed that he was carrying two bags in his hands.  Jessica lowered her head, and when she saw the food in one of the bags, she couldn't help but feel surprised. "You are not going to cook lunch here, are you?"  Terry had been at Jessica's place before, so he knew where the kitchen was. He went directly over and then spoke as he took the things out of the bag. "Yeah. You've just got off the plane, right?"  Jessica paused a bit, but she didn't go on asking.  "Do you mind giving me a hand?"  While she was in a daze, Terry suddenly said.  Jessica came back to her senses and looked at him in confusion. "What?"  "Help me put on the apron. Thank you."  With that, Jessica glanced at the apron and Terry's white shirt and black trousers. She couldn't help but chuckle. "The combination looks funny to me."  As she spoke, she took the apron over an

      "I see what you mean." Jessica picked up the coffee cup again. She took a sip and said, "Olivia is his family. He covered up for Olivia because he wanted to protect his sister. But Luna and Trissy ... I don't think Lucas will do the same thing for them."  Jessica said, thinking about how Lucas confessed the whole thing to her that night in the park and then recalling his confession of love to her. She was a little distracted.  "I see. It's just a kind reminder."  Jessica only came back to her senses when she heard Terry's voice. She didn't notice the sense of frustration in Terry's eyes.  What Terry said reminded Jessica that even if Lucas was not involved, the Thomas family or Justin might have something to do with it.  Jessica suspected Justin for a fair reason.  Morgan once warned Jessica when he came to LA to settle scores with the Thomas family for Jessica's sake.  Justin was not the one to mess up with. It was not that the Hall famil

      After Terry left, Jessica returned to her room, and she suddenly recalled that the rumor included a man staying at her place at night.  The man was veiled, but the spreader suggested it was Terry.  Thus, Jessica felt that the staff in her apartment should be trained more.  Jessica found herself in the center of a storm. Bad things kept happening.  The next day, before Jessica's scandal was erased, another piece of gossip was exposed.  It was about Luna and Lucas.  In the photo, Luna was sitting at the entrance of an OB—GYN clinic.  Beside Luna, there was a man, putting his hand on Luna's shoulder as a gesture of comfort.  And this man was wearing a bespoke Armani suit and a Patek Philippe watch.  These details suggested that he was Lucas, the current CEO of the Thomas Group.  Jessica looked at the news online and her face turned cold.  Although she could not see the man's face, judging from his figure and hair

      Sitting in front of his desk, Lucas pondered quietly. Vincent walked up to Lucas, about to remind Lucas of a meeting he should attend later.  Vincent also read the news about Luna's "pregnancy". He didn't know how the news affected Lucas' mood. What if Lucas was angry and decided to take it out on him? That would be a disaster.  Before Vincent could decide what to say, Lucas had already looked up at him.  Vincent paused for a moment and turned to Lucas with a grim face. He froze. "Mr. Thomas..."  Lucas only glanced at Vincent. "I'm going to Thomas' villa."  "But you have a meeting about the new project to attend later."  However, Lucas ignored what Vincent said and left without turning back. Vincent followed Lucas for a few steps, but finally stopped after recalling the look on Lucas' face.  Well, Vincent couldn't stop his boss, could he?  In the Thomas villa.  Justin was listening to Dwayne talking about the netizens' discussi

      Lucas didn't speak, and Justin was so angry that his face turned pale.  Finally, Justin closed his eyes and softened his attitude. "Lucas, I know what's on your mind. I do want you and Jessica to get married again. First, the two of you are in love. You two only ended up divorcing because of a misunderstanding. Second, you and Jessica's marriage will do our family good. I gave Luna and Trissy money just to make them leave LA and stay away from you."  "You know what Luna wants. You are just irritating her," said Lucas.  "What's your plan then? Let them get what they ask for? Do you have any idea how much you pay Luna and Trissy each month?"  Justin said flatly.  "I'll make it clear to Luna and send her away from LA," Lucas said coldly, pursing his lips.  "They know what you are going to do," said Justin with a sneer. "Have you read about the news of Luna being pregnant? She's so ambitious and bold. You can never marry such a woman. I've warned yo

      Lucas did not speak again. He turned and left Justin's study with a stern face.  He returned to his car but did not start the car. Instead, he opened the window and lit a cigarette.  He also didn't know what he was thinking about at this time. His mind was all a mess. That had never happened before.  The cigarette was burned up. Lucas snuffed it out.  He was about to start the car when his phone rang.  "Mr. Thomas, there are some clues about Miss Hall's scandal."  Vincent's voice came from the phone.  "Say it." Lucas cleared his mind hurriedly.  "IT department located one of the participants in the early dissemination. According to his recent remittance, they found Miss Cheek's account," Vincent immediately replied.  "Got it." Lucas didn't ask which Miss Cheek it was. Luna or Trissy, it made no difference.  "Mr. Thomas, do I need to continue looking into the rumor of Luna being pregnant?" asked Vincent.  "No. But I

      "Are you threatening me?" Lucas narrowed his eyes slightly, his golden pupils tinged with anger.  When his anger peaked, it started to fall.  "I don't dare, Lou. Trissy and I can offend neither the Thomas family nor the Hall family. Please don't push me."  Said that as she might, Luna didn't show any fear on her face. Instead, it could be told from her eyes that she was clearly planning something.  Given where they had come to, Lucas didn't buy anything Luna said at all. He lowered his eyes and turned to the phone on the desk. He then said to Luna, "I want this cellphone. At what expense?"  "You want the cell? I can just give it to you, Lou."  "Don't play dumb. I didn't mean the phone itself, but all the copies of the recording." Lucas didn't feel like beating about the bush. "What do you want?"  "I love you dearly. Why would I threaten you with the cell? As long as you marry me, I will be your wife, and Olivia will be my sister—in&m

      Lucas left. Having heard the door closing, Trissy collapsed on the sofa, as if she was just a lifeless doll.  Trissy let out a long breath. She then looked up, only to see Luna staring at the closed door where she stood.  "Luna?" Trissy called out to her.  "Why did you give him the phone just now? Why?" Luna suddenly turned her head around and looked at Trissy fiercely, gnashing her teeth.  "Didn't you see that Lucas was already angry?" Trissy frowned as saw Luna blown up.  "WHY? WHY DID YOU GIVE HIM THE DAMN PHONE?" Luna turned a deaf ear to Trissy's words and looked at Trissy as if Trissy was her enemy. "If only ... If only I have tried one more time... He would have agreed to marry me!"  "What is wrong with you?" Trissy was a little impatient. "What's wrong with me giving him the phone? I didn't give it to him for free. I exchanged the phone for 300 million dollars. What else do you want?  "What? 300 million dollars and you are satisfie

    During the period, a nurse came over and asked Hannah if she wanted to go in and see Foster.She shook her head and said, "I'm not going in."She didn't want to go in.It was no use going in, he didn't want to wake up, and even if she went in, it would only make herself feel worse.These past few days have been the nurse's shift, and she has become familiar with Hannah and Joe. Seeing Hannah's exhausted appearance, she let out a slight sigh and didn't say anything.The cycle of birth, aging, illness, and death is a daily occurrence in the ICU.Hannah stood there for a moment, then she turned and sat down on a nearby chair."Ms. Howell."When Samuel called her, Hannah only lifted her head slightly and asked, "Is there something you need, Mr. Compton?""I had something I wanted to give you."Hannah bit her teeth and said, "Let him do it himself."Samuel didn't respond to her words, taking out a box from his pocket and handing it over.

    Foster did not wake up until after 5 o'clock in the afternoon.The attending doctor delicately stated Foster's condition, "The patient's condition, the patient's family should be mentally prepared."Hannah heard these words and her legs immediately went weak.She instinctively reached out and grabbed Jessica, who quickly supported her. "Hannah, you have to believe him."Hannah grabbed Jessica's wrist, her strength was so strong that her nails almost embedded into Jessica's flesh.But she was completely unaware: "Jessica, I also want to believe him, but he has always been deceiving me, he has been deceiving me all along!"She also wanted to believe him, but Foster had never told her a single truth.He didn't even give her any promises, he didn't even say "I love you" to her.What did she use to trust him, and how should she trust him?Jessica didn't know what to say either, at this moment, anything she said would be futile."Foster, I hated you, I hated you!"She gritted her teeth and,

    "Five minutes, Ms. Howell, you couldn't stay here for long. If you have anything to say to the patient, say it quickly."Hannah gratefully glanced at the nurse, "I would soon be leaving."The nurse glanced at her again and entered the nearby monitoring room.Hannah reached out and tugged on Foster's pinky finger, "Were you dreaming for me? Are you leaving? Are you a coward, Foster? Are you not seeking revenge anymore? Are you really never going to see me again?"If possible, she really wanted to slap him hard to wake him up."I don't care if you are Dominic or Foster, I have prayed to the Buddha beads for you. Your life will be fine, don't listen to the nonsense of those evil spirits, I won't allow you to leave! I don't want you to go!""Foster, you were doing fine. If you dare to just walk away like this, I will hate you for the rest of my life!"Hannah almost gritted her teeth as she finished speaking. She didn't stay for the full five minutes, but only two minutes before leaving.J

    Hannah also had no intention of asking further: "Well, forget it then."No one spoke, and the entrance to the ICU ward returned to calm.Joe remained silent for a moment before he couldn't hold back and said, "Ms. Howell, there are two reasons why Mr. Carroway came back, and one of the reasons, if I were to say it, would not be good for you."He said, pausing for a moment, "But the second reason, I can tell you.""What is it?""For you."Hannah's little finger trembled slightly, and she sneered, "Is that so?"She didn't believe much."I followed Mr. Carroway for over two years. Mr. Carroway had a severe case of insomnia, and there was a period of time when he could only fall asleep by drinking a large amount of alcohol."Once, Mr. Carroway got drunk and in the middle of the night, he called me in a daze, saying he had a stomachache. I hurriedly rushed to his apartment and when I carried him on my back to the hospital, I heard him shouting your name.That night, when he rushed to Foste

    He had just been about to take the jade bracelet to the bathroom for Foster when the man had already briskly emerged from the bathroom, his indifferent eyes carrying a hint of panic: "Have you seen my bracelet?""Was it this one?""It was this, thank you."Foster took the bracelet back and neatly placed it inside his pocket.That was the first time he saw Foster, and he only felt a chilling aura emanating from the man, devoid of any trace of vitality.Hannah swallowed and raised her hand to rub her eyelids. "So, how did you end up working for him?"After my mother passed away, I was chased by loan sharks and evicted by my landlord. With only ten dollars, I went to the bar where I worked part-time to spend the night. That evening, Mr. Carroway got drunk and had his wallet stolen. He fought with the person who took it, and I saw someone pull out a gun and point it at Mr. Carroway.Joe reminisced about the past, saying, "Not two days after that day, Mr. Carroway drove to the bar to find

    "I understood how you felt, and you didn't need to explain to me. You grew up, and you had your own judgment. Brother believes in you."This was probably a moment of warmth for Hannah in her anxious day. She covered her face and took a moment to relax. "I'm going to wash my face."Eden sighed as he watched Hannah's figure disappear.He indeed looked down on Foster, but now that Foster is in trouble, he doesn't want to rub salt in Hannah's wound.Hesitating, Eden had already taken out his phone and made a call to his secretary.Eden's secretary knew that he was going to have dinner with Hannah tonight. When she received the call just now, she thought that Eden had finished so quickly, and couldn't help but be surprised, saying, "Mr. Howell?""Help me check something.""You said.""Foster was involved in a car accident last night. Can you please check for me if those people were responsible for the accident?"Eden's secretary was somewhat shocked, both by Foster's car accident and by th

    Hannah kept her head down and remained silent. Eden's patience ran out, "Hannah, you're not a child anymore, you're thirty years old. Uncle and Aunt love you, and you should also understand them. Let's not even talk about whether Foster is worthy of you or not. He deceived you out of a large sum of money and disappeared for over three years. He is not someone who truly cares for you."The waiter pushed the food cart over, Eden pursed her lips and fell silent.Hannah took a deep breath. She knew everything Eden said, and she had no intention of getting back together with Foster. In fact, even before today, she had already prepared to throw away everything they had once had and move on.But unfortunately, at that very moment, he had a car accident.She also didn't know how to describe her feelings. Fear had already taken up most of it, with reason and pain pulling in opposite directions. She was caught in the middle, feeling like her head was about to explode."Let's eat first."Eden si

    Joe went home at noon and took some clean clothes. These days, he planned to stay at the hotel across the street from the hospital.Just as he returned to the ICU, he saw Hannah walking out of the elevator.Joe was somewhat surprised and quickly sat up from his chair, "Ms. Howell?"Hannah nodded and handed him the anklet she had in her hand, saying, "This is Dominic, Foster gave it to me before, it's been blessed, you can put it on him later."She didn't want to say more, so she put down the ankle chain and left.Joe didn't know what to ask either, so he had to take the chain.The nurse came over and let him go into the ICU to talk to Foster. Joe removed the poison from the red string that Hannah gave him and took it with him into the ICU.Foster still didn't wake up, the instruments showed everything was normal, but he still didn't wake up.After the nurse left, Joe took the red rope and looped it around Foster's left hand.He didn't know what to say either, so Joe stood for a moment

    But she couldn't control it at all, tears just fell down from the corners of her eyes, as if they were free.Hannah couldn't suppress her emotions any longer. She immediately squatted down, burying her head between her legs, and started sobbing softly.How did he become like this?In the spacious ICU room, there was only the sound of Hannah's sobbing.After crying for a while, Hannah finally gritted her teeth to calm herself down.She didn't have any tissues, her palms and the back of her hands were covered in tears, so she had to lift her skirt and wipe the tears off her face. Only then did she stand up again and look at Foster on the sickbed, choking up as she spoke, "The doctor said you have no will to live, and I don't know why you suddenly lost your will to live. You did so much for your family's sake, why would you give up now?"At this point, Hannah choked back her tears and felt a surge of grievances: "You abandoned me without a second thought back then, all for the sake of yo
