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
"Jessica?"At the moment of Jessica's despair, a familiar male voice suddenly came from the side.She froze for a moment, turned her head and saw Terry with medicine on her face and a cast on her hand. Jessica blinked her eyes and realized what had happened. She immediately ran over and hugged her tightly.Terry held her with his uninjured hand and saw the tears on her face. "Why are you crying? My hand isn't broken, it's just fractured."As soon as he finished speaking, a heart-wrenching cry suddenly came from ahead.Terry looked up and saw a woman and an old man falling onto the flatbed covered with a white cloth in front.He suddenly realized and leaned down to give Jessica a kiss, "Did I scare you?"Jessica also saw the scene ahead. At this moment, she also came back to her senses and looked at Terry in front of her, feeling a bit embarrassed.Unfortunately, there were too many tears on her face, and they dripped onto Terry
Terry's car accident really startled Jessica.She couldn't imagine what would have happened if Terry hadn't just come out of the villa area and the car hadn't been driving slowly, how he would have avoided the oncoming car.Due to this unexpected incident, Jessica took a leave of absence in the afternoon.The news of Terry's car accident quickly spread within the circle, with different accounts. Some said Terry's car accident was severe, and he died on the spot; some said Terry's car accident was severe, and both legs were amputated, and he would have to rely on a wheelchair for the rest of his life; there were also some who said Terry's car accident was severe, and he is still unconscious in the intensive care unit of the hospital.Things spread too quickly; Jessica didn't even have time to intercept the messages from Wendy.In the afternoon, around three o'clock, even Morgan in the South town called Jessica to inquire about Terry's situation.
Jessica had a dream where she arrived at the hospital and saw Terry lying on the stretcher that was being wheeled out of the emergency room after unsuccessful resuscitation.She didn't believe it, Terry was perfectly fine, just his right hand was broken.However, Jerry and Wendy came over and advised her to take it easy and accept the changes, Terry has already passed away.She listened to their words, and her legs went weak, and she collapsed onto the flatbed. Tears flowed out of her eyes like a broken dam.She held Terry's hand and kept calling his name, trying to wake him up. She said she was very scared.But Terry on the flatbed never opened his eyes. He seemed to be asleep, but he was sleeping too deeply. No matter how she called him, she couldn't wake him up.Jessica was on the verge of a breakdown, and just as she was feeling hopeless, someone suddenly embraced her. The familiar scent and familiar voice reached her, and she opened her
"Miss, we are studying art. When we go back, I will paint a picture for you and give it to you. Can you leave me your email address, Miss?"The girl was very polite and asked for an email, not a phone number or any other social media account like Line.Jessica didn't refuse and entered her email address on her phone.The two girls repeatedly thanked before leaving, "We won't post your photos online, miss."Terry raised an eyebrow when he heard this and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if it's revealed."Upon hearing his words, both of the girls who were about to leave were taken aback.Jessica looked embarrassed and said, "It doesn't matter about the back.""Oh, okay. Miss, both you and your boyfriend looked so elegant, even in the photo taken from behind!""Thank you."Jessica smiled and glanced at Terry.The two girls thanked each other again and happily turned around and left.Jessica shifted her gaze
Terry's right hand was broken, so instead of going back to the office after the important meeting, he worked directly in his apartment.After taking a day off, Jessica went back to work at the Hall Group. She was quite busy during this period, and she would come home late. As soon as she arrived home, the meal was already prepared on the dining table.Of course, the meal was naturally not made by Terry. He is skilled, but he couldn't cook with both of his right hand broken.There was a project that required Jessica to go on a business trip, and it was decided at the last minute that Jessica would go.After finishing the meal, Jessica mentioned to Terry about her business trip tomorrow.Terry, who was standing beside her, heard her words and made a slight sound of disapproval, "How many days?""If it's fast, it will take three days; if it's slow, it may take five days."Jessica felt a little guilty under his gaze and couldn't help but
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
Terry directly handed the money to him and led the people over to the other side of District 3.Lucas noticed some movement over here and came over with someone. "What did you find?"Terry glanced at him and said, "Just now, a night shift employee said that around midnight, two vans drove over here."Late at night, two vans arrived here. Besides transferring Jessica and Olivia, what else could they do?Obviously, both Terry and Lucas were a step late. By the time they arrived here, it was already a little past twelve forty.Terry looked at the containers in front of him for a while, and suddenly remembered something. "When I came over, I saw two vans turning from Sea Road to the other side of Purple Road."At the end of Sea Road is the harbor, and the two vans that turned out from the Sea Road entrance are very likely the two vans that the night shift worker mentioned.Terry was the first one to arrive here. It was over 800 meters fro
Olivia cried all day, slept soundly, and suddenly got kicked, waking up. She forgot about being kidnapped and got angry when she woke up. She yelled at Jessica, "What are you doing? Why did you kick me?""Someone came, don't speak."Olivia heard the noise outside and also realized it. She moved in a panic next to Jessica and said, "Yes, I'm sorry, I just woke up."Jessica didn't say anything; she had a very bad feeling.Soon, the container was opened again.This time, among the visitors, Luna was not present, only four men were there.They held flashlights and shone them into the container. They took a look and then immediately looked down at their phones.Jessica's heart sank in an instant, and she whispered to Olivia, "They are going to move us to another place later. Be careful not to give anything away. Make sure they don't find out that the ropes on our hands and feet are not properly tied."Olivia's face turned pale as so
"Lucas, long time no see. I heard that Justin passed away, what a pity. I didn't have the chance to attend the funeral, after all, it was extremely difficult for me to escape from Justin's clutches. Your sister and Jessica are both in my hands, don't worry, they are doing well now and I'm in a good mood. However, you don't have much time left to relax. You should think carefully about what is more important to you, the person you love or your own sister."The signature is Luna.After reading the message, Lucas' face immediately darkened. "Vincent, look up Luna for me!"Terry glanced at him, but did not ask Jerry to check on Luna.Luna dared to send the message to Lucas' phone, proving that she might not be in LA anymore.Jessica and Olivia must have been in LA, after all, Luna still had to let Lucas choose.Now there is finally news about Jessica, although it is not good news, it is still better than knowing nothing at all.Terry look
It was ten o'clock at night, and it had been eight hours and forty minutes since Jessica went missing. However, Terry had no clue at all.Afternoon, Jessica went to the bathroom. Wendy waited by the car for twenty minutes, but when she saw that Jessica hadn't come out yet, she called her on the phone. However, the line was busy on the other end.Wendy realized that something might have gone wrong. She went to the restroom to find Jessica while calling Terry. After contacting Terry, she had already reached out to the hotel manager and entered the surveillance room.The surveillance footage showed that Jessica entered the first-floor restroom at 13.11 in the afternoon and remained inside until 13.30. However, the footage did not show anyone coming out of the restroom during that time. It was as if Jessica had disappeared into thin air inside the restroom.According to the surveillance footage, it was not until 1.40 pm that a hotel guest checked out and ente
Jessica was also very shocked after hearing Luna's words.She guessed that Justin would target Luna and her two sisters, but she didn't expect him to do such a malicious thing.Although it is true that Luna and Trissy had the wrong idea of wanting to marry into a wealthy family and live a life of ease, it does not justify intentionally luring them and causing one of them to die and the other to be injured.Luna looked at Olivia, almost gritting her teeth. "Rest assured, considering how you did treat me well before, I won't harm you for now. But whether you can survive or not, that depends on your brother!"When Luna said these words, her eyes were filled with resentment, which frightened Olivia and made her tremble all over.Luna looked at it and found it boring, so she directly pushed Olivia away.Olivia fell down, landing heavily and making a loud "thud" sound.However, no matter how loud the sound was, on such a night, in such an e
