"What happened?"Seeing her look up, Terry couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.Jessica averted her gaze and looked down at Terry's hands. "It's nothing, I can't stomach it anymore. Let the nurse get you some medicine to apply on your hands."Terry's swollen hands were too eye-catching, Jessica couldn't bear to watch."Weren't you hungry?"Terry glanced at her, placed the spoon into the bowl, and reached out to press the bell."I couldn't drink it anymore."When she woke up, she was indeed hungry, but she had been sick and didn't have much of an appetite. After finishing a bowl of soup, Jessica also felt that her stomach wasn't as empty, but of course, she couldn't naturally continue to eat.Seeing him like this, Terry didn't insist anymore.He rang the bell just now, and the nurse came quickly.Terry got up and made room for the nurse, "She had just drunk a bowl of soup.""It seems that Ms. Hall was in a good condition."The nurse smiled and gently asked Jessica to raise her hand, coo
Lucas withdrew his gaze gloomily and walked towards the elevator, lifting his leg.Terry watched his back until he entered the elevator, and then he returned to the ward with the frostbite ointment in his hand.Jessica thought it was Lucas coming back, she frowned, her patience had already been exhausted. "Can't you understand human language?"However, when I looked up, I realized it was Terry.I scolded the wrong person.Jessica was a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I thought it was him."Terry chuckled lightly, "Don't worry, I don't think I was as annoying as Lucas."He said, placing the frostbite ointment he had in his hand onto her blanket, "Here, I have opened the frostbite ointment."Terry didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was clear, obviously asking Jessica to help him wipe.Jessica smiled and did not refuse.After all, Terry's chilblains on her hands were also caused by him in order to save her.Jessica took the frostbite ointment out of the box, tore it open, and pick
Jessica was stabbed, and her little finger trembled. She quickly withdrew her hand, feeling inexplicably guilty, and dared not look at Terry anymore. She turned around and left the ward.Jessica had just walked out of the ward when she saw Jerry approaching with a food container."Ms. Hall?"Jessica nodded and smiled, "Did you bring dinner over?"Jerry, of course, wanted to help Terry get some extra points at this time. Upon hearing Jessica's words, he quickly nodded and said, "Mr. Davison said that you just woke up and have no appetite, so you can't drink much soup. He instructed me to have someone stew some light stomach-nourishing porridge for you."Jessica looked at Jerry and, just like that, she could tell what he was really saying. She didn't expose him, but instead, she just smirked and said, "Thank you, I just woke up and I'm a little hungry.""I helped you bring it in."Jessica didn't refuse either, she just remembered Terry. "Terry was sleeping inside."Jerry paused for a mo
She lowered her head and looked at the pill in her palm, smiled, and then picked up the hot water that Terry had prepared.The hot water that was just poured out is still a bit hot.Jessica took a tissue and placed the medicine on it, intending to wait for the water to cool down before taking it. The wind blew, it was a bit cold, and the distant lights reflected over. Terry's face seemed to be radiant with flowing colors.He looked at her and smiled, not knowing what there was to be happy about.Jessica pushed him lightly and said, "That's enough, Mr. Davison."Jessica glared at him and rubbed her eyes. "Go back."She was not a person who showed off her abilities. After walking for a while, she realized that the weather was indeed cold. If she stayed any longer, she might end up getting a fever again.Jessica hasn't taken a shower these past few days, and she went to the intensive care unit again last night. She has improved a lot today, so she naturally wants to take a good shower.A
The person who came was Vincent, Lucas' secretary.The door of the ward was not closed. Vincent stood at the door, knocked on it, but did not receive a nod from Jessica and Terry, so he did not come in.On the sickbed, Jessica heard a knock on the door. She glanced at him and saw that the person at the door was Vincent. The smile on her face faded slightly as she said, "Vincent?""Ms. Hall, Mr. Davison, sorry to bother you."Vincent also sensed Jessica's change in mood, but he couldn't do anything about it.Lucas, that person, really wouldn't listen to anyone's advice. As a secretary, even if things were urgent, there was nothing that could be done to Lucas."Is there something wrong?"Although Jessica didn't like seeing people related to Lucas, she couldn't just tell them to go away when they were being so polite and courteous.Of course, Jessica didn't mind if Lucas was the person standing at the door at that time.After all, she really hated seeing Lucas now.Vincent glanced at Ter
When Vincent returned to the hotel after leaving the hospital, Lucas, who had no idea when, had already gotten up from the bed.He was wearing a sweater and sitting on the sofa, bowing his head and smoking.The ashtray was already filled with cigarette butts, indicating how heavily Lucas smoked.Vincent also didn't dare to let Lucas know that he went to see Jessica. He placed the breakfast he bought on the coffee table and said, "Mr. Thomas, have some breakfast and then take this fever-reducing pill."Lucas glanced casually, unaffected.Vincent pursed his lips and, with a determined expression, said, "Mr. Thomas, if you don't take care of your health, how can you win back Ms. Hall?"Upon hearing his words, Lucas paused with the cigarette between his fingers. After a moment, he tugged at the corner of his mouth and asked, "Do you think I can win her back?"That day, he told Jessica in the hospital that he wanted to compete fairly with Terry and pursue her again.But he knew that, in th
Wendy only heard about Terry riding a horse in front of the rescue team to enter the mountains and save Jessica in such a heavy snowstorm after she woke up.In the face of life and death and absolute interests, any love, family affection, or friendship can turn into enmity.Even though Terry and Jessica are no longer in a romantic relationship, Terry still recklessly rushes into the mountains to save Jessica.This friendship and sincerity, Wendy, as an observer, were indeed very touching.She didn't have any strong feelings towards Terry before, but she just thought that he had been pursuing Jessica for over a year and she hadn't accepted him yet. As her subordinate, she naturally felt that Terry was not the right person for Jessica.But now, looking back, there are probably not many men who would give up their lives for Jessica.Wendy now feels that Jessica and Terry would have been happy together, after all, she had been watching them for so long as an observer.The person who was o
"Didn't you dislike black sugar ginger tea?""Are you Jessica? Wasn't black sugar and ginger the two things you disliked the most? Didn't you say that black sugar ginger tea was the drink you couldn't stand the most? Oh, you said that black sugar ginger tea cannot be called a drink, it's a dark cuisine!""Jessica? Could you please tell me about the specific incidents at kindergarten when you were five years old and forgot to wear your underwear, if you haven't been possessed by anyone?"Jessica didn't want to go back originally, but when she heard Hannah's words, she couldn't help it and said, "Isn't that person you?""Phew, thank goodness, you weren't possessed! So why did you suddenly start drinking black sugar ginger water, normal you? Please answer my question directly, Jessica Ms. Hall!""I'm getting older and need to take care of my health. Alright, I'm going to take a shower now. I have an early flight tomorrow. Goodbye."After replying to the message, Jessica threw her phone o
"Is it me? Have you got any news?""I was in Phoenix and had just received a package from Luna. Inside, there was a ring, Luna's letter, and... an urn."Terry's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words "urn". "Where are you?" he asked."Just left Finger Cliff.""I was watching the surveillance footage at the police station."Upon hearing his words, Lucas on the other end of the phone immediately said, "I'm coming over."Terry responded with a sound, hung up the phone, and raised his hand to vigorously wipe his face.He was not in the mood to watch the surveillance footage anymore. He had been staring at it for over seven hours since around four o'clock in the morning, and his eyes were already hurting.However, with so many vehicles, he did not find any car with abnormalities."Rodney."Terry stood up and looked at Rodney.Seeing that he finally agreed to take a break, Rodney breathed a sigh of relief a
That evening was clearly painful and unbearable.When Terry woke up, it was already past three o'clock in the middle of the night.The ward was very quiet. As soon as he opened his eyes, he instinctively looked for Jessica.However, everything around him was unfamiliar, without Jessica, only he himself.He still had an IV drip in his hand, but Terry directly pulled out the needle. Just as he walked out of the ward, he happened to see Rodney walking towards him from the direction of the elevator.Terry ran over directly and asked, "How is Jessica doing, Rodney?"Rodney glanced at Terry, feeling a bit reluctant. "Mr. Davison, I'm sorry, but up until now, we haven't received any news about Ms. Hall."Upon hearing Rodney's words, Terry trembled slightly and asked, "Has Lucas contacted me?""Mr. Thomas called shortly after you had just passed out, and he was also inquiring about Ms. Hall's condition."There was no news from e
When Luna woke up, it was already past one o'clock in the morning.She was hanging on the cliff for nearly three hours. Although she didn't suffer much injury, she had a fever because of fear and the cold sea breeze blowing on the cliff for more than three hours at night. When she was taken to the hospital, her temperature had risen to forty degrees. It wasn't until after eleven o'clock at night that the fever finally subsided.Plus, the things she has experienced in the past few days have been too horrifying. She has been living in fear for so long that her mental state is almost on the verge of collapse. After waking up, she completely lost control of her emotions and screamed while holding her head.Upon hearing Olivia's cry, Vincent quickly instructed the person next to him to go in and comfort Olivia, then turned around and ran downstairs to the hospital to find Lucas.When he found Lucas, Lucas was sitting in the smoking area, with a trash can right
The man in the passenger seat frowned when he saw the situation and said, "Hasn't he died?"He said as he bent down and checked Olivia's breath, feeling a faint pulse in his hand. The man breathed a sigh of relief, "She's not dead."Saying that, he grabbed Olivia's hand, hoisted her up, and threw her back into the car. "Let's go, to Wind Cliff!"The van started up again, and Olivia inside had already fainted.When Olivia woke up again, she found herself dropped down a cliff, with a vast sea below.She screamed loudly in fright, and the two men on the cliff heard her scream, furrowing their brows, but no one paid attention to her.Carson City was gradually getting dark at seven o'clock when Lucas arrived at Wind Cliff, precisely at half past seven.The sky had already turned completely dark, and the sea water surged up, with the water below churning fiercely.Lucas did not see Olivia, and there was no one on the cliff.Ho
Around six in the evening, Rodney brought a boxed meal and handed it to Terry. "Mr. Davison, I understand your mood, but if you can't take care of your own body, how can you save Ms. Hall?"Terry took the boxed meal and said, "Thank you."He just didn't have much appetite and mechanically stuffed food into his mouth.The sunset at Finger Cliff was beautiful, but none of the people on the mountaintop were in the mood to appreciate it at that moment, after all, a young life was at stake.Rodney looked at Terry stuffing rice into his mouth, sighed slightly, and handed him a bottle of mineral water.This time, Terry didn't refuse. He finished the boxed lunch while drinking mineral water.At 7 o'clock in the evening, night fell, but everything around remained the same, except that the wind had become a bit colder than during the day.Terry looked at the cigarette in Rodney's hand for a moment, then he spoke up, "Rodney, can you give me a c
Jerry heard Terry's words and instinctively looked up at him.When Jerry's gaze met those peach blossom eyes, his heart felt a bit uncomfortable. "Mr. Davison, Ms. Hall is so smart, she must be able to handle it.""Is that so?"Terry lowered his head and raised his hand to cover the watch on his left hand.This is a customized couple watch made by Jessica, and there are only two of them in the world, making them unique.But as he watched the time pass by minute by minute on the watch, there was no joy in his heart. He had not seen her or heard her voice for twenty-five consecutive hours.This feeling was more painful than when he first found out that she was going to marry Lucas.He was really scared.Jerry had followed Terry for so many years and had never seen Terry like this before. Now, looking at him, Jerry also felt uneasy inside.But now Jessica has not been found yet, everything is still unknown. If they try a li
Running during the day is much better than running at night, at least you can see the road clearly.But inside this mountain, everywhere was trees and waist-high weeds, there was simply no path for Jessica to run.Jessica didn't have much strength left; she only knew that she couldn't be caught up.But she could still hear the woman's screaming voice, knowing without a doubt that she hadn't run far.The woman was probably going to call the man. It was all grass everywhere, where did she run to, they would find her if they were a bit smarter.Jessica stopped and leaned against a tree, catching her breath while analyzing the terrain.Looking around, she couldn't see any houses, so she couldn't ask for help.Jessica hesitated whether to run towards the foot of the mountain or up the mountain.She didn't have much time to hesitate anymore, as the man's angry roar and the woman's curses behind her were reminding her that they were a
The driver brother talked a lot. Jessica didn't know whether to believe his nonsense or not, but she was already exhausted.Fortunately, they chatted for more than ten minutes, and the taxi driver also noticed that Jessica was very tired. He handed her a bottle of mineral water and told her to take a nap. "I just finished delivering the goods and need to go home to pick up new ones. Don't mind, take a rest for a while. We will arrive at my house in ten minutes."Jessica took the mineral water and unscrewed it, then drank more than half of it directly.The elder brother driver stopped talking, and she also remained silent, turning her head to look out of the car window. She almost fell asleep several times, but she managed to hold on.The driver did not deceive him, his house was indeed just nearby. The small truck drove into a village, and Jessica got out of the car with him."Have some breakfast first. The police station is five kilometers ahead.
Neither of the two men expected that Jessica would suddenly escape, after all, her hands and feet were tied with ropes.The two of them were chatting just now. Although they occasionally glanced at Jessica, they found that when Jessica disappeared, she had already run seven or eight meters away.Two men were in the car and they really thought Jessica had diarrhea. They felt a bit disgusted, so they closed the car door. However, they realized that she had run away when they opened the door, causing a delay of one or two seconds. By the time the two men got out of the car, Jessica had already run up the hill.Late at night, in the quietness, the outskirts of the area within ten miles seemed deserted as if there were no households around. Two men's angry shouts were closely chasing from behind.Jessica was wearing high heels on her feet, and she was not running comfortably. However, the mountain road was overgrown with weeds, and if she took off her shoes, s
