There was only Jessica left in the room. She stood by the bed, feeling a bit abnormal.

Why did she agree to stay?

Ah.

Drinking really caused trouble.

But since she had already stayed, Jessica didn't want to think about it anymore.

She was not a melodramatic person. She and Terry were both unmarried, so even if something happened, they wouldn't have betrayed anyone.

Thinking about the morning meeting tomorrow, Jessica collected her thoughts and went to the wardrobe to find a set of pajamas.

When Jessica's gaze fell upon the clothes stacked below, she felt her face instantly heat up upon seeing the lace edges.

Terry was indeed... meticulous!

Jessica finished taking a shower and came out. There were a few unread messages in her phone, which were emails sent by Wendy.

Jessica clicked into Line and entered Hannah's chat box. Today's messages only went up until noon, when she asked Hannah to come pick her up and go to Lune Restaurant. After that, there was a blank space.

    When the car stopped downstairs of the Hall Group, it was during the rush hour.Terry's car today was unusually low-key, casually parked downstairs without attracting much attention.Jessica undid her seatbelt and said, "Thank you, I will treat you to a meal another day."Terry looked at her and said, "You must have said this more than three times. Which day exactly, Ms. Hall?"Jessica thought for a moment and said, "I should go to Fresno in a couple of days. I won't be in LA this week, but I'll treat you to dinner when I come back next week, okay?""Just kidding."He said, handing her a packaged cup of black sugar ginger on the side, "It's cold weather, drink more, it's beneficial."Jessica didn't react at first. "What is this?"Not until she held it in her hands and smelled the faint scent of ginger did she know what it was."Thank you."It was getting late, and Terry took the initiative to open the car door for her.Jessica got out of the car holding a cup of ginger tea with brown

    Jessica was not someone who couldn't bear hardships, and she only found out about the Hall family being the richest after she became an adult.She was raised as an ordinary girl from a regular family since she was young. The conditions at home were slightly better than average, but she still understood the hardships of life.But Graham saw that Jessica was not speaking and felt a little uneasy in his heart. "Ms. Hall, is it possible that these conditions--"Jessica smiled and said, "Graham, you misunderstood. It's just that I haven't been on such a long car ride in a while, so I might feel a little carsick."Graham had no way of knowing whether Jessica's words were true or false, but seeing her gentle demeanor, he didn't say anything further. "This way is all mountain roads, and it can be a bit bumpy to go up the mountain. It's also getting late. Ms. Hall and Wendy should freshen up first, and later we can have dinner inside the hotel."This place was really poor, as Jessica saw on he

    Because it snowed, the road was difficult to walk on. The originally three-and-a-half-hour journey took over four hours. The group arrived at the base after 1 pm.The so-called base, in fact, was just a red brick wall surrounding the area. Facing the main entrance were two connected two-story bungalows, which housed the research lab and offices.Including the researchers, there were a total of five people at the base.Graham led Jessica and introduced her to the personnel at the base. The people at the base knew that a "big shot" was coming today, so they had prepared lunch early.They also tried their best to help Selma out of poverty. For lunch, Jessica had a lot of rare and precious mushrooms that she rarely ate, as well as a pot of herbal chicken soup, which was stewed with local specialty herbs.After lunch, Jessica and Wendy rested for half an hour and then followed Graham and the researchers to visit the greenhouse.I have to say, Jessica really didn't come in vain this time.

    Jessica didn't sleep well last night. Just now, she was sleeping soundly in the car when she was suddenly awakened. She didn't pay much attention to what Harold said.Wendy saw her frowning, looking a bit confused, and explained, "Ms. Hall, a tree fell and blocked the road. I didn't notice it earlier, so I had to brake suddenly."Jessica woke up at this moment and nodded, "I understand."She responded by glancing outside the car window. The wind and snow outside had become much heavier compared to when they had set off. Looking into the distance, she saw a vast expanse of white snow and heavy snowfall with strong winds. The visibility was only about two or three meters, so it was no wonder Harold hadn't noticed that tree earlier.With that in mind, Jessica averted her gaze and looked ahead at the car.Harold had already reached the fallen tree trunk, which was not a very big tree, but it had fallen to a height of seven to eight meters and was very sturdy, weighing around three to four

    Terry arrived at Selma's a little after three in the afternoon. This time, he came with a poverty alleviation project, but the poverty alleviation project in Terry's hands is not in Selma, but in Riverdale next to Selma.Terry knew that the Hall Group was also building poverty alleviation projects here this year, and thinking of what Jessica said that day, he guessed that Jessica had come over here.Jerry took some time to find out that Jessica went into the base in the mountains today, but Jessica and Wendy will take a flight the day after tomorrow morning, and they will definitely return to town tonight."Mr. Davison, Ms. Hall will definitely come back tonight. It's still early, so why don't we go to the place where Ms. Hall lives and wait for her?"Terry looked out of the car window at the wind and snow, with lowered eyes and a somewhat cold expression. "Hmm."The snow seemed to be falling heavier and heavier.Jerry heard Terry respond and instructed the driver to go to the house w

    The villagers, who were quite old, rode a horse and rushed through the wind and snow, directly blocking the front of the main force.Terry's temper was particularly bad at this time. He lowered his head and lit a cigarette, but nicotine couldn't calm his inner irritability.He squinted his eyes, stepped on the accelerator, and drove straight to the front of the queue.Suddenly, a car emerged, startling the elderly villager who was in the middle of negotiating.Jerry saw the situation and quickly jumped out of the car and ran to Terry's car, saying, "Mr. Davison..."The snow was so heavy that as soon as Jerry opened his mouth, he was hit in the face by the wind and snow.But he knew that Terry was now like a fierce beast, uncontrollable by anyone.The villager said something unknown, and the leader of the rescue team frowned, "None of us knew how to ride a horse."With a semi-dialect accent, Terry still managed to understand as he looked at the old villager leading the black horse, sud

    Wendy pulled Jessica and said, "Ms. Hall, shall we go forward a little more?"Jessica glanced at her, her hands and feet were already numb from the cold. Looking at Wendy's pleading eyes, Jessica bit her lip.Her cracked lips were suddenly bitten, causing blood to flow. The taste of blood made Jessica slightly sober. She glanced at Harold, who was waiting ahead of them, and said, "Let's go."Once stopped, I didn't want to continue walking.Jessica remained silent and followed Wendy silently all the way.Wendy's situation wasn't good either, but she knew that this time, she had to bring Jessica back safely.When Jessica fell down, Wendy was scared for the first time.Harold heard a scream and quickly turned back, but he didn't have much strength left. He gritted his teeth and barely managed to carry Jessica.Harold lifted Jessica from the snow and pinched her philtrum. When his hand touched Jessica, Harold's hand trembled slightly. "Ms. Hall, she has a fever!""What should we do, Harol

    The medical staff quickly drove down to pick up Jessica. "Ms. Hall's blood oxygen level is a bit low; blood pressure is too high; heart rate and breathing are both speeding up. She needs to be quickly taken to the hospital for emergency treatment!"Terry froze for a moment upon hearing these words.Jessica in her arms was carefully handed over by the nurses and placed onto the ambulance bed, and then lifted onto the vehicle.Terry wiped his face, reached out and grabbed the car door, and got into the ambulance.In the heavy snowfall, the ambulance rushed towards the hospital with its siren blaring.This unexpected blizzard caught people off guard. Selma was severely affected, and Jessica was not the only one sent to the hospital for treatment.However, only a few people were rushed into the emergency room for treatment, and Jessica was among them.Jessica's situation was very grim.

    The driver happened to be at home today and was being escorted out by another police officer.He, on the other hand, didn't cry and shout like his wife did, even when he was being escorted out, he kept his head down, as if he was afraid of being too embarrassed in front of the neighbors.The wife, who had been crying and complaining incessantly, suddenly stopped shouting. The man, as if sensing something, glanced inside the car and when he saw Jessica, his face immediately turned pale.That woman...Even though almost a year had passed, the man still recognized the beautiful woman at first sight.As the saying goes, if you have done no wrong, you need not fear the knock of a ghost at the door.After that day, the man had several nightmares in a row, but as time went by, he gradually forgot about them.I didn't expect that after a year, the other party would come to my door with the police.The man lowered his head, forced a bitter smile, and muttered, "Retribution!

    Suddenly, there was a "drip" sound outside the door, and Jessica knew that Terry had come back. She quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.Terry pushed the door open and entered the room. Jessica was still on the couch, with her head tilted back, smiling at him. "You're back so soon?" she said.Terry walked over and only then did he see that Jessica's eyes were a little red.He put down the things he was holding in his hands and bent his body halfway in front of Jessica. He held her face with both hands and said, "Did you cry secretly?""No way."He looked at her and suddenly raised his head to kiss her on the eyes.Jessica trembled for a moment, and the emotions in her heart instantly magnified. She fell into his arms and hugged him, saying, "I don't know why, but it feels like I haven't seen you guys for a long time."Before today, she didn't remember anything. The missing memories of over twenty years made her silent when facing the past.If she couldn't remembe

    Upon hearing his words, Jessica inexplicably choked up, "What if it wasn't?""No if."He spoke and tightly held her hand.Jessica blinked her eyes and said, "I was a little hungry.""I went to buy ravioli for you.""Okay."Jessica let go of her hand and leaned back on the sofa, looking at him as he touched his stomach and asked, "Is the little one okay?"Terry also touched her abdomen, “It's fine."It has been over four months, almost five months, and Jessica's belly is still not very noticeable.But knowing that there was a life growing inside, I placed my hand on it, even though I couldn't feel anything, a wave of tenderness still surged in my heart.Terry glanced at her and said, "Behave, I will go buy you some food.""I knew."It was almost 8 o'clock now. After lunch, both Jessica and Terry hadn't eaten anything. At this time, they should have been hungry.Terry took his phone and said, "I will go downstairs to buy some food.""Go."She was not a child, so there was no need to wat

    Jessica was still asleep, with an oxygen tube inserted in her nose, looking as if she was sleeping.Terry walked over and held her hand, then followed the gurney back to the regular ward.The hospital in this town was simple, and there weren't many people in the inpatient department. Jessica was assigned to a separate ward.The nurse gave Terry a few instructions and then left, leaving the ward filled with the sound of machines.Jessica's forehead was scratched, and it bled, but the bleeding was not excessive, and the wound quickly coagulated.Terry used a wet tissue to wipe away the bloodstain, and just as he threw away the tissue, his phone started vibrating.It was an unfamiliar number.But Terry still remembered the incident with the police. He picked up his phone and stood in front of the window by the door, watching Jessica inside, while answering the call, "Mr. Policeman?""It was me. Is Mrs. Davison alright?""Having just recovered from shock, the doctor said there was no majo

    Halfway through the interrogation, Terry received a message from Jessica and he immediately interrupted the officer in front of him, saying, "Sorry, I have to go back, my wife is in danger."The police officer taking the statement also had some difficulty processing it, “Your wife..."Terry didn't have time to think about it, Jessica wouldn't easily send such a message again, she sent a distress signal, the situation must be very bad.Seeing Terry get up and run, the police officer who was taking the statement quickly chased after him, saying, "Mr. Davison, if your wife is in danger, we can send help..."Terry didn't wait for him to finish, “Well, thank you, officer! I'm going back first!"The car stopped at the entrance of the police station, Terry turned the car out of the road, and as soon as the car got on the main road, he stepped on the accelerator.The car drove away all of a sudden, at a very high speed. When the police ran out, Terry's car had already disappeared.Terry almos

    The sunlight at twelve o'clock was even more intense. Eamon was scolded by Jessica, and although he had the intention to run away, he lacked the courage to do so. Who knew when Jessica would come out of the house.He was tied to a tree, although most of the sunlight was blocked by the leaves, it was still very hot at noon, and Eamon was suffering as his body still hurt from the several places Jessica had just hit him.Jessica and Terry were leisurely eating lunch inside the house, eating to their heart's content. It was only after they had finished eating that Jessica took out her phone and called the police.The police took more than twenty minutes to arrive, and when Eamon heard the sound of the police siren, he instinctively trembled.Terry glanced at him and went out to meet the police, “Hello, I am the husband of the person who made the report."Terry made a simple self-introduction, “My wife got scared by a thief, which caused her to have a miscarriage. She is currently resting

    Eamon realized it and instinctively wanted to run, but Jessica also reacted quickly, reaching out and smashing the coconut she had just taken a few sips of onto him.Terry, who was standing by, immediately dropped what he was holding and ran up to grab the tattered oil-paper umbrella by the door. He forcefully smashed it onto Eamon's ankle, causing him to scream in pain, "Ah!"Eamon fell directly from the wall, and he was about to resist as soon as he got up, but unfortunately Terry had a very solid oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and he was hit again as soon as he got up.After being hit more than ten times, Eamon couldn't bear it and quickly begged for mercy, saying, "Please stop hitting me! I was wrong!"Terry turned around and glanced at Jessica, saying, "Bring the rope."Jessica turned and entered the small room next to her, pulling out the hemp rope from under the bed.Eamon, who fell to the ground, attempted to escape. Terry, seeing that he was being dishonest, fiercely struck

    Denzel arrived at the hospital and remained unconscious. That night, he was transferred to the ICU.It had been several days since Jessica heard the news when she and Terry arrived in Tonopah.It was almost June, and as soon as Jessica got off the plane, she felt a wave of heat.Plus, back in January, Eamon came over causing trouble, and Jessica was a bit concerned about the condition of the yard.The temperature today was a bit high, and Terry was worried that Jessica couldn't handle it, so he didn't go over there immediately after coming out of the airport.The two of them stayed in the city for the whole night and only took the car over early the next morning.There weren't many households in the village to begin with, and it seems that the big yellow dog that used to chase after Jessica is now gone.Jessica and Terry asked the neighbor next door and found out that there was an old man in the village who fell while picking vegetables in the vegetable field more than three months ag

    Denzel had been talking to Lucas all along, and in the few short seconds before the elevator arrived, there were only Denzel's childish voice and Lucas's occasional "uh-huh".The elevator came quite fast, and Jessica and Terry were the first to enter.There were no other people inside the elevator, only the five of them.Jessica and Terry were in the right corner, while their family of three was in the left corner.Terry held Jessica's hand, lowered his head to look at her, and the two exchanged a glance, only to smile slightly and never speak.After about five or six seconds, the elevator finally reached the first floor.Jessica and Terry didn't move, watching as Lucas and the other two exited the elevator. Only then did Terry say, "Let's go."Jessica glanced at him, and both of them instinctively slowed down their pace. The family of three in front of them gradually moved further away, until they were about ten meters apart. It was only then that Jessica spoke, "Are he and Susie pla
