When the alarm clock rang, Jessica reluctantly opened her eyes.
Terry was no longer in the room, but the side of the bed was still warm, so he probably hadn't been awake for long.
Jessica rubbed her eyes and felt an overwhelming tiredness in her body, making her desperately want to stay in bed.
But reason triumphed over laziness, and she got up from the bed after just a few seconds.
The blanket on her body slipped off her shoulders, and a chill came over her. Jessica furrowed her brows and instinctively turned her head to take a glance.
The dark red mark on that shoulder was very noticeable, and Jessica's heart skipped a beat as she looked at it. The events from last night instantly flashed through her mind, and her face turned red in an instant.
Jessica took the clothes from the side and put them on. She went into the bathroom and only then did she realize that there were not only marks on her shoulders, but also on her collarbone.

As soon as Susie came out of the Hall Group, the smile on her face instantly disappeared.She took out her phone and called Lucas.She had just made the phone call, but it was immediately rejected.Susie chuckled and hit again.This time, Lucas didn't hang up the phone. "Speak!""I was downstairs at the Hall Group."Upon hearing her words, Lucas' eyes darkened and he asked, "What do you want to do?""It's nothing, just giving Ms. Hall an invitation.""Susie, I warned you, don't think that just because Grandpa protects you, you can do whatever you want!"Susie had long anticipated what Lucas would say, but she didn't care at all. She chuckled, holding her phone, and said, "Ms. Hall wishes us a hundred years of happiness and eternal unity."She smiled, paused for a moment, and then said, "Lucas, it seems like you are the one who is being overly sentimental."After saying that, Susie burst into laughter.
Terry went on a business trip, so Hannah called to ask if she wanted to go out for dinner and do some shopping tomorrow. Jessica did not refuse either.Since being with Terry, she has indeed had much less time to meet with Hannah.The restaurant was chosen by Hannah, a recently famous internet-famous restaurant. When Jessica arrived, Hannah had already set up the table.Jessica had just entered when the waiter came up enthusiastically and asked, "Miss, how many people?"She smiled and said, "My friend was already inside."Speaking, Jessica had already seen Hannah.She walked over in high heels and said, "So early?"Hannah handed her a glass of pomegranate juice, saying, "Isn't it because I missed you? Unlike you, I value friendship over romance, hm!"Jessica put down her handbag and handed over the other bag in her hand, saying, "I have been quite busy lately."Hannah saw that there was a gift to be received, and her att
Stephanie had never been scolded like this before in her life, and she felt extremely embarrassed.However, she was just over 1.6 meters tall. Although she wore high heels today, Jessica also wore them. As a result, she was half a head shorter than Jessica. After Jessica stood up, she could only look up and talk to Jessica, and her momentum instantly weakened by a large margin.Stacy McNeil, who was standing by, saw Stephanie being mocked by Jessica and quickly spoke up to support her. "Ms. Hall, Stephanie was just trying to remind you out of kindness. Even if you didn't listen, why would you say such hurtful words to mock her?"Jessica chuckled lightly, raised her hand to brush her hair, and said softly, "I was just trying to give Ms. Sheppard some advice out of kindness. It's not my fault she didn't listen. How did it become me mocking her?"Jessica lifted a heavy weight effortlessly, leaving Stacy and Stephanie speechless.At this moment, Hannah
Terry was not around, and Jessica couldn't sleep.I tossed and turned in bed for a long time before falling asleep. The next day, when I woke up, it was already past eight o'clock.Jessica got up and opened the curtains. The weather today was not as good as yesterday. It was gloomy and looked like it was going to rain early in the morning.She didn't sleep well last night, and now that she's awake, she feels a bit of a headache.Jessica made a cup of milk and prepared a simple sandwich. It was breakfast time.I was busy for a while recently, and this weekend is a rare leisure time. Unfortunately, Terry is not here. Hannah called Jessica to go out and play, but she leaned on the sofa and declined slowly and calmly, saying, "I'm not going.""Lance Caesar is also here, anyway Terry is not here, what's wrong with you coming out to play?"Jessica yawned, "I didn't sleep well last night, I want to catch up on sleep."Hannah felt that
When Jessica came out of the ward, it was only around ten o'clock. She thought for a moment and decided to give Hannah a call, "Where are you guys?""Star Lake Villa, Mona's house, did you want to come over?"Hannah and her friends had a small party at Mona's villa today, and they played barbecue.Jessica didn't have anything to do in the afternoon, so she thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll come over.""Come on, I just set up the stall. It's better to come early than to come late.""I hung up first."Jessica hung up the phone and as soon as she looked up, she saw Lucas.She raised an eyebrow and casually greeted, "Mr. Thomas."Lucas looked at her, said nothing, and Jessica went straight into the elevator behind him. She turned around, and the elevator doors slowly closed. Lucas was still standing outside the elevator, watching her.Jessica raised an eyebrow and averted her gaze.Dwayne saw Lucas and was so
"Business trip gift."Jessica looked down and saw a beautiful round jade pendant hanging on her neck.Jessica picked it up and felt it, only to find that the jade was cool and comfortable, crystal clear, and obviously a good piece of jade."Do you like it? I heard it's good for nourishing the body."Jessica glanced back at him and said, "Thank you, I really liked it."She didn't expect that Terry would give her jade.Terry raised her hand and touched her head, "Listen, sweetheart, I'm going to freshen up."Saying that, he turned around and walked back to the room.Jessica watched his back until he entered the master bedroom. Only then did she withdraw her gaze and lower her head to look at the round jade pendant on her neck. She rubbed it with her fingertips for a while before putting it down and picking up the cooked noodles from the kitchen.Terry also finished washing up and came out. Jessica looked at him with a smil
Finally, when Jessica was released, her lips were slightly swollen, gasping for breath, leaning on Terry's shoulder. She closed her eyes, and her heart was pounding.Neither of them spoke, and the living room was very quiet. Outside the window, it was drizzling with spring rain, gently tapping against the window, creating an indescribable sense of tranquility and beauty.After a moment of pause, Terry raised his hand and helped her tidy up her hair. "What day is it? Is your stomach hurting?""It was the next day, and it didn't hurt much."She realized that her period had arrived only yesterday morning when she got to the office. In the past, she would always experience severe pain for the first two days, but for the past few months, she had been drinking black sugar ginger water every day without fail. Surprisingly, this time her period didn't hurt much.Terry touched her face and asked, "What do you want to eat for lunch?"Jessica leaned on
If Justin was a cunning and deceitful old man with no moral boundaries, then Maximo was no less cunning.Terry did not hide his relationship with the Sheppard family from Jessica, but he did not want her to come into contact with those people from the Sheppard family.So he didn't want to see Maximo, but Maximo had a thicker skin than tree bark, so Terry had to go see him.He had actually met Maximo once before, but their conversation was extremely unpleasant. Even though Terry and Madelyn had no personal relationship, hearing Maximo's words still disgusted him with the shamelessness of the Sheppard family.After six or seven years, Maximo came looking for him again, and Terry didn't think it would be anything good.Maximo came all the way from San Francisco to LA to find him as if he were a cat smelling fish.Terry glanced at the navigation and stopped the car only after confirming that it was this villa.These days in LA, it was rai
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
