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. T
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 doctor worked tirelessly for over forty minutes before the door to the emergency room was finally op
Jessica had a dream where she saw a blizzard. Terry rode a horse with a light and broke through the darkness to reach her, lifting her up as she was already exhausted.He also apologized, saying that he was late.Just as she was about to open her mouth to tell him that he hadn't arrived late, a huge mass of snow suddenly collapsed from the side of the mountain towards them."Terry, run quickly!"She tried her best to push Terry away, but she was a step too late. The heavy snow fell and buried them directly.She fell back into darkness again, unable to see any light or Terry.Half of her body was buried in the snow, with only her head and hands sticking out. Jessica waved her hands continuously, trying to find Terry, but no matter how she groped, she couldn't find him."Terry, where were you?""I was here."Suddenly, her hand was held by someone, but Terry's voice was weak."Are you okay?""Fortunately.""Terry?""I was there.""Terry?""Um."The response from the other party grew weak
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
