Lost in thought, the elevator door "dinged" and opened in response.There were people standing outside the door. Jessica instantly regained her composure and quickly withdrew her hand, nonchalantly exiting the elevator.Terry released his hand that was resting on her waist and reached out to touch her hand that she had just lifted to cover him.I intentionally touched her thumb and then pressed it slowly towards the palm.Jessica shrank back a little, and he immediately clenched his hand, his thumb rubbing against the back of her hand, tickling her a bit.Jessica couldn't take it anymore, "Stop it, Terry."Terry smiled and, being obedient, actually gave a thumbs up, and earnestly held her hand, saying, "Okay."Jessica looked up and glanced at him. Her gaze happened to meet his peach blossom eyes. She couldn't help but curve her lips and smile, saying, "You weren't like this before.""You were not my girlfriend before."Jessica heard what he said and always felt like there was somethin
The two of them returned to the apartment before nine o'clock. Jessica changed her shoes and took the hot water Terry handed to her, sitting on the sofa and sipping it slowly.Terry was cooking black sugar ginger in the kitchen, and within two minutes, the entire house was filled with the aroma of black sugar ginger.The phone screen lit up for a moment, and it was a message from Hannah. "I heard that Lucas had an accident."Jessica raised an eyebrow, swiped the screen, and replied directly, "It's none of my business."Hannah sent a few "beautiful" messages in a row and then didn't send any more messages.Jessica had just put down her phone when Terry came out with a cup of black sugar ginger tea.The just-cooked ginger black sugar water had a strong flavor of both black sugar and ginger.Jessica glanced at the dark brown ginger water, "Actually, it's best to drink it three days before the menstrual period."Terry looked at her and coaxed her like a child, "Good baby, drink the candy
Jessica didn't use much force, and Terry didn't feel any pain either. He only felt his neck being tickled by the hair that Jessica brushed past.Jessica sucked hard for a while, and when she let go, she immediately regretted it. The red mark on Terry's neck, even in such dim light, she saw it at first glance.Terry raised his hand and touched it, but couldn't feel anything. He only felt the residual warmth from Jessica's presence a moment ago. He turned his head slightly and looked at her with a half-smile, "Still biting?"Jessica couldn't beat him and snorted, "Don't be too much, Terry."It was still early, a little after seven o'clock, not even a quarter past seven.Terry was already in high spirits. She rubbed her head and sat up from the bed, saying, "You can sleep a little longer, I'll go make breakfast."Jessica reached out and grabbed his hem, saying, "Breakfast is downstairs."The implicit meaning is that he didn't need to do it.Terry raised an eyebrow and said, "I didn't mak
Jessica couldn't naturally guess it. She lowered her head and took another bite of ravioli into her mouth. After finishing it, she hummed, "Never mind if you don't want to say."She didn't believe that he could endure it.Terry didn't speak, he just looked at her, smiling without saying a word.He really didn't say.Jessica knew he was doing it on purpose, but she didn't ask anymore. She wanted to see who could hold their breath longer.However, Jessica couldn't hold back because she not only ate ravioli that she hadn't eaten for many years and liked, but also found a horseshoe in the ravioli.Maybe not all the dumplings had horse chestnut filling, the two ravioli she ate earlier didn't have any.Jessica liked to eat ravioli, and her favorite was the one with added horse chestnuts to enhance the freshness and reduce greasiness.Hannah, who has known Jessica for many years, had no idea about this particular preference of hers.Hannah only knew that she liked to eat ravioli, but she did
After hanging up the phone, Jessica instinctively looked at Terry beside her and said, "The call was from Hari."She spoke and paused for a moment, "He said Lucas had a car accident last night and asked me to visit him today.""Do you want to go?"Terry looked at her, with a smile on his face as always, and his gaze towards her peach blossom eyes was also filled with tenderness. However, Jessica still felt that something was different.His words were also flat, sounding like asking her if she was hungry.Jessica, however, knew that Terry was actually very stingy. She put her phone behind her and moved over, reaching out to hug his neck, placing herself in his arms. "Are you jealous again?"Terry reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, shifting slightly to adjust his posture and pull her into his embrace. "Is it not allowed?"He lowered his head and looked at her, admitting quite generously.Jessica smiled and said, "Sure, of course."She spoke, paused for a moment, and looke
After hanging up the phone, Jessica remained silent for a while. After a moment, she finally turned to Terry beside her and said, "Would you accompany me to the hospital?"She always thought that she had made herself clear to Lucas, and she didn't think that Lucas was the type of person who would pester her.However, reality left Jessica speechless.It was a great weekend, but Hari ruined Jessica's mood with two consecutive phone calls.Terry's hand on her waist moved slightly, and she forcefully pulled the person back, "Do you really want me to accompany you?"Jessica glanced at him and chuckled lightly, "Do you really feel at ease letting your girlfriend meet her ex-husband alone?"Terry seemed to have thought about it seriously. After a moment, he raised his eyebrows and said, "I really can't trust it."Jessica patted the hand that had fallen on her and motioned for him to let go, saying, "I'm going to change my clothes."Terry let go and sat on the sofa, looking at her meaningfull
Jessica's words were undoubtedly a boulder, rolling into Lucas' heart. The three words "boyfriend" were like sharp stones, lightly grazing and directly causing his heart to bleed profusely.He looked up at Jessica, the woman's face as beautiful as ever, even without makeup, enough to make many people admire.But this beautiful Jessica, she is such a cold person. When she used to love him, it was so passionate and intense. But now that she doesn't love him anymore, she instantly withdraws all her favoritism. She no longer considers or cares about what he says, unlike before.As soon as he opened his mouth, he spoke words that hurt so deeply."There was nothing, no need to trouble Ms. Hall."He almost gritted his teeth and said it word by word.Despite the despair, Lucas' eyes still greedily looked at her, hoping that Jessica still had some love left for him, and would show him mercy.No, there was nothing, only Jessica's heartless words. "I hope Mr. Thomas will not bother me again in t
Jessica's mood was repeatedly ruined, and her face didn't look good when she left.Terry gently moved her hand and rubbed his thumb up and down on the back of her hand.He didn't speak, but gently comforted her with silent gestures like this.The winter wind was cold, but Terry's hand holding hers was warm.Jessica glanced at him, and as she saw him looking at her, in the warm winter sunshine, his eyes always reflected her.Jessica's few frustrations in her heart disappeared in an instant. She leaned towards him and saw people rushing around on the road, all unfamiliar faces. She tentatively leaned on Terry's shoulder.Just as I got up, a person came walking towards me.Jessica turned out to be thin-skinned, so she quickly retreated.Terry watched as she leaned in and then pulled back, the smile in his eyes growing deeper, causing Jessica's face to blush slightly.She dared not turn her head to look at him, so she pretended to look earnestly at the road ahead.Her cheeks suddenly warm
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
