When Jessica woke up, she realized she had been leaning on Terry.

Terry had also fallen asleep beside her, the IV drip completed, likely removed by the nurse during rounds. She found herself resting entirely against Terry's chest, his presence unmistakable.

As Jessica fully awakened and grasped the situation, she tensed up slightly. It was truly an awkward situation!

She noticed that Terry had draped his jacket over her, which explained why she had felt so warm while sleeping.

Jessica had no intention of waking Terry—at least not until she could get up and away from him. She glanced up at Terry, noting that his eyes were closed, and he appeared to be sound asleep. Seizing the moment, she swiftly removed his jacket from her shoulders and stood up from his embrace.

Just as she stood, something fell to the ground with a light "thud." Looking down, she saw it was her phone. She quickly picked it up and instinctively glanced at Terry, only to find his eyes slowly opening. His still-sleepy p

    Meanwhile, inside the CEO's office at Thomas Group.Vincent looked at Lucas, who remained silent, and felt the sweat on his back increase.Lucas had been in a low mood these past few days. Although the incident at the wedding had faded significantly, today, it resurfaced online, with netizens once again discussing it relentlessly.Lucas didn't speak, unsure of what to say.Vincent asked if he wanted to handle it, but whether they did or not, Lucas felt like a clown.The worst part was, he was an unwilling clown.He hadn't slept the entire night, sitting here thinking. Jessica had loved him for eleven years. Even if she had mistaken someone else for him initially, her love for him had been real. She hadn’t loved the wrong person; she had loved him.But why had she suddenly declared that she no longer love him?Could eleven years of love truly vanish in less than a year?He couldn't believe it, but Jessica's words kept replaying in his mind.At 31 years old, Lucas realized for the first

    “Thanks”Jessica accepted the cup, took a sip of water, and finally felt better.Terry didn't bring up any more "sensitive" topics after that. Instead, he discussed with her what Amanda planned to do once she got into the Thomas family. It wouldn't be long before the Thomas family would be in complete chaos.Jessica was actually looking forward to it. After all, Justin only stirred up trouble because he had too much time on his hands.By the time Jessica finished her porridge, it was already eleven o'clock. There wasn’t much point in returning to the company at this hour. But since Terry was still in her apartment, and given their situation—just the two of them—it felt a bit awkward. She wanted to ask Terry to leave, but considering that he had been hospitalized with a high fever the night before, it seemed too harsh to kick him out.After some thought, Jessica decided it was better to go back to the company, which would be less awkward than being alone with Terry.Terry could be very

    Jessica felt that Terry made her realize she wasn't immune to sweet talk and flattery after all.She had to admit, even though she knew his words were likely just offhand remarks, her heart still skipped a beat."I'm not joking, Jessica," he said, crouching down.Jessica looked down as he rolled up her pant leg, his warm fingers pressing against her calf. He asked if it hurt each time he pressed a spot.Jessica shook her head, finding herself momentarily lost in this rare tenderness.Terry pressed several spots until Jessica confirmed that none of them hurt. Only then did he stand up again. "Next time, don't do something like this. If you want me to stay away, just tell me."He dropped his usual teasing smile and looked at her with sincere concern.Jessica snapped back to reality. "You should head back to your company, Terry."Noticing her shift in mood, Terry didn't say anything more. His hand lifted slightly, as if he wanted to touch her, but recalling the earlier incident, he withdr

    Jessica wasn’t feeling guilty; rather, she was confused.She had always considered herself someone who holds on to love for a long time; otherwise, she wouldn’t have clung to her feelings for Lucas for so long, even after everything.But just half an hour ago, when she pulled away from Terry and bumped her calf in an effort to distance herself, he told her, “You matter more.” That’s when she realized her heart skipped a beat.Though it was just a fleeting moment, Jessica noticed the shift in her feelings.She had been divorced from Lucas for over a year. While that might seem like a long time, in reality, it wasn’t that long.It wasn’t until recently, when she saw the despicable and dirty side of the Thomas family, that she truly let go of that self-indulgent love.If she were to pinpoint when she stopped loving Lucas, Jessica would say it happened just a month ago.It’s only been a month since she fell out of love with Lucas, and now she’s feeling something for Terry.Jessica wasn’t s

    Tonight’s banquet was hosted by the Jameson family, and all the attendees were part of the LA social circle.Jessica and Terry were already the talk of the town, so when Terry entered the venue holding Jessica’s hand, many people couldn't help but glance at Jessica."They're really together, holding hands and everything!""So, those rumors from a few days ago were true—Mr. Davison and Jessica are actually together!""Honestly, I think Jessica and Terry look better together than she and Mr. Thomas ever did.""I agree! Jessica always gives off this aloof vibe, even when she's smiling. It makes her seem distant. And Mr. Thomas, well, he’s almost always expressionless at these events. When two cold people are together, it just feels off!"One woman swirled her glass of red wine and added, "But Jessica and Mr. Davison are different. Mr. Davison might seem like a playful and wealthy young man, but when he's with Jessica, they somehow complement each other."The socialite next to her nodded i

    This evening, Jessica and Terry were surrounded by people they knew.As they walked through the crowd, many greeted them, to which Jessica responded indifferently. After a while, she turned to Terry and lightly shook her hand, which he was holding. "If you keep holding my hand like this, it’ll be too much."Terry, sensing her discomfort, smiled and released her hand, showing restraint at the right moment.Soon, some people who had ties with the Davison family came over to chat with Terry. Taking advantage of the situation, Jessica grabbed a glass of juice and moved aside.However, being a member of the Hall family also meant that Jessica had her share of admirers. Even when she stood alone, people continued to approach her for small talk—whether they were business acquaintances or young socialites eager to befriend the Hall family.After politely dealing with a few, Jessica grew bored and, switching her drink for a glass of grape juice, decided to step out into the garden.In December,

    The news about Olivia getting hit quickly reached Jessica.When she heard it, she just smiled.But Hannah was overjoyed. She was so thrilled that she wished she could install surveillance at the Thomas family home to capture the moment Olivia got hit on camera.“By the way, why did Lucas suddenly decide to hit his precious sister?”Jessica shrugged. “Who knows?”Jessica had no intention of spreading what happened that night.Not liking Olivia was one thing, but spreading the news about someone’s failed confession to make them a laughingstock was another.Jessica believed that everyone’s feelings deserved respect, even if Olivia was a bit overconfident in liking Eden.But Jessica had to admit, she admired Olivia’s courage to confess her feelings to Eden.Hannah snorted, “Looks like Olivia’s brother doesn’t love her as much as we thought.”Jessica smirked slightly and didn’t respond.While they were chatting, a waiter brought over two Pina Coladas. “Miss Howell, Miss Hall, these are from

    Terry, saying this, actually took out his phone.Jessica glanced at him. "No need for that."After speaking, she cast a sideways glance at Hannah.Hannah realized she had said something wrong and, feeling guilty, avoided eye contact. "Tanya’s calling me. I’ll head in first, you two carry on!"As she spoke, she retreated toward the entrance of the bar and, once there, quickly turned and ran back inside.Jessica watched Hannah's retreating figure and couldn't help but chuckle.How spineless."Would you accompany me for something to eat?" Terry asked. After a more than ten-hour flight, he was already hungry.Jessica had said she wanted to go home, not just to brush off Hannah. She had been working overtime the whole past week, so this rare free weekend was a time to relax and chat a bit. She didn’t have Hannah's energy to keep partying all night.She really did want to go home and sleep.But Terry knew very well that she was soft-hearted, and his approach was gentle. His voice was soft, a

    Julie looked up and said, "I will go and have a look."She turned around and ran over to Hannah's side, as she spoke.Just now, Hannah saw that there were crabs in the cage and curiously asked Jessica, "Will there be crabs in the cracks of these stones?"Julie hadn't really thought about it, but don't crabs usually like to hide in crevices in shallow water? So she casually replied, "Sure, if you want to catch one, go down and take a look for yourself."Hannah really rolled up her pants, went down the stream, and searched for crabs among the gaps in the rocks.The stream was clear, you could see to the bottom at a glance.Hannah didn't take long to find a crab. She was planning to catch it and show off to Jessica, but the crab ran too fast. She kept finding several others, but they all managed to escape.This time she saw a quite big one, and didn't want to let the crab just run away like that, so she shouted for Jessica.Julie

    Hannah was curious about everything, so when she saw that bamboo house, she pulled Julie and asked her all sorts of questions.Terry walked alongside Morgan and May, both of whom were quite advanced in age. Although the mountain was not very high and not difficult to climb, it still required physical effort, and the two of them fell behind by quite a bit.When they arrived in front of the bamboo house, Jessica and Hannah were already not inside the bamboo house.Terry poured the leftover tea for May and Morgan and pointed to the door of the bamboo house, saying, "Uncle, Aunt, Jessica said that Mr. Garrison found her in front of this bamboo house."Upon hearing Terry's words, Morgan's hand holding the teacup trembled.He also didn't care about drinking water anymore, and got up and walked to the front of the bamboo house.Just now they came up from the mountain and saw only a bamboo house amidst the lush greenery. There was a stream flowing n

    I have to say, the three questions that Hannah asked in a row were the same questions that Morgan and May were concerned about.Jessica lost her memory, and they all didn't want to put pressure on her.They only have one precious daughter. When they first learned about Jessica's accident, both of them were devastated. Now that they have finally found her, Morgan and May naturally want to bring Jessica back home.Just now, Jessica and Terry walked in, talking and laughing. Both of them felt quite emotional inside.At this moment, the person most eager to have Jessica return should be Terry, and the person most anxious for Jessica to regain her memory is also Terry.But Terry seemed to have no worries about these issues. As parents, they couldn't bear to see Jessica struggling."It's true that this place was a bit poor, but Jessica lived happily and was doing fine."May sighed and said, "It's true, Jessica was definitely raised on a ped

    Terry was clearly puzzled, "Will there be wild rabbits and pheasants on this mountain?"This side is all small hills, they are called mountains, but the altitude is not high, only about one or two hundred meters. It takes about three hours to go up from the foot of the mountain to the top slowly, and it takes a little over an hour to go up quickly.More than twenty years ago, it was not uncommon to see wild pheasants and wild rabbits. Given the current ecological environment, it is indeed quite unexpected to still have wild pheasants and wild rabbits.Julie looked at him and smiled, "What Roberto said, anyway, those who run in the mountains, nameless and faceless, what are they if not wild chickens and hares?""That's right."Terry thought that Roberto was indeed quite interesting. You said he was a bad person, but he didn't hesitate to save Jessica. You say he is a good person, but he is actually very "carefree".The two of them crossed the

    Terry paused for a moment, watching Jessica's figure disappear. It was only then that he noticed Roberto lying on the lounge chair about ten meters ahead.At that moment, the sun was scorching hot, and Roberto covered his face with a straw hat to shield it from the direct sunlight.Julie walked over and looked at the sun hat on Roberto's face, raising an eyebrow and shaking her ponytail. She took a few steps forward and pulled the fishing line hard.Feeling the fishing rod in his hand move, Roberto quickly sat up from the lounge chair."Old man, there was a fish on the hook!"Roberto saw her and snorted, "What are you here for?""I saw you fishing!"Roberto scoffed, "It was you who pulled the fishing line just now, right?""Don't accuse me wrongly, I didn't do it."Julie didn't admit it.Roberto heard the commotion from Terry's side, turned his head and saw Terry throwing a bamboo cage into the stream. He instinct

    Because Morgan and the others were still asleep, Julie had to leave a note on the table in the living room.Afterwards, she took Terry into the mountains.When the two of them were leaving, Lucas was still there. Seeing them leaving, he also followed along.Terry glanced at Jessica and didn't say anything.Julie paused and turned her head to look at Lucas. "Mr. Thomas, I suggest you go back and take care of your company. Although I have lost my memory and don't remember our past, I believe that since we got divorced, I must have had my reasons."She spoke, paused for a moment, and finally glanced at Lucas before bluntly adding, "Persistent pestering, it really lacks the grace of a man."Jessica before her amnesia had said something similar.With just one sentence, she left Lucas speechless.But he knew that Jessica had lost her memory, it was a second chance given to him by fate, even though he felt despicable in doing so.

    Julie walked into the backyard and saw the clothes thrown in the trash bin. She glanced at them and then carried the clothes into the bathroom.Julie finished taking a shower and washing her hair before going out. Hannah was sitting at the door of the west wing and when she saw Julie coming out, she got up and tried to cover up the truth, saying, "There are too many mosquitoes over there."She spoke and showed her arm that had been stung.Julie glanced and said, "There were many mosquitoes in the evening, I suggest you wear long sleeves."Their clothes were brought by a woman who drove over after the rain stopped. The woman seemed quite excited when she saw her, her eyes even turned red as she looked at Julie.But Julie couldn't remember anything, so she just nodded her head as a way of greeting.The clothes Wendy brought over were quite thoughtful, as she prepared several sets for each person.Hannah obediently went to change into lo

    Terry reacted quickly too. Upon hearing Jessica's words, he closed the box and threw it back into the pit.Julie hurriedly filled the soil back with a shovel. This box of gold, indeed, could not be exposed to light casually!She guessed that there were valuable things hidden inside, otherwise, during the few days she was unconscious and drugged, it couldn't possibly have been dug up by the old man going up the mountain.In the first few days after waking up, Roberto still made her drink medicine.Although Julie didn't have the ability to distinguish medicines, she could clearly recognize the thick ginseng placed in the kitchen.Although it is said that all ginseng nowadays has been cultivated, the one Roberto uses for medicinal purposes is mostly wild, and it grows so long. It must be quite expensive.It should be at least a few thousand, if not tens of thousands.This was just the money for a medicine, and later Roberto also bought h

    Hannah saw Terry coming and tactfully left the kitchen.Terry also glanced at Jessica and said, "I just saw a big yellow dog."Julie paused her action of scrubbing the pot and said, "Tsk, you're quite naughty too."Terry looked at her, his eyes twinkling with a smile. He didn't say anything, but Julie somehow understood what he meant from the look in his eyes.She averted her gaze and started heating up the pan.Roberto was very stingy. He didn't give her much money, even though he knew they were going to the market today.Julie had one hundred and fifty dollars in her pocket and wanted to buy everything. But after looking around, she paid eighty dollars for clothes, and she was left with seventy dollars in her hand.Fortunately, things in remote and impoverished areas were cheap. She bought several pounds of pork and pig bones. She originally wanted to buy chicken, but Roberto said there were wild chickens in the mountains. When she
