Terry's hand was pulled by someone. He looked at Jessica, and his gaze fell on her face. He saw her smiling, not showing the slightest bit of anger towards the topic the women were discussing.Terry's anger also gradually subsided a lot, and he helplessly looked at Jessica, "They were all hearsay.""Three people make a tiger, you know."Jessica smiled and said, "Just listen to the story. They could imagine so many things, their imagination was quite rich."She said, pausing for a moment, "Anyway, after we have this meal with them, we won't see each other again."It's just strangers' gossip, there's nothing worth caring about.Now she sits with Terry in front of them, they can't even recognize each other, so they don't need to care about the words they say.The two of them were talking when the landlady came up with the ravioli.Ravioli was even more delicious than Jessica had imagined, and she instantly understood why Terry had brought her here specifically to eat ravioli.When the tw
Jessica tilted her head and her gaze fell on the man standing next to Terry. Her eyebrows and eyes moved slightly as she asked, "Am I familiar with you?"When Jessica said this, she raised her eyebrows slightly, and although there was a smile on her face, there was a hint of disdain in her eyes.Chad glanced at Terry again. Terry had already walked to the car door, blocking his view, no longer allowing him to disturb Jessica inside the car. "Since Mr. Sheppard is not feeling well, let's leave it at that."Although Terry knew that Chad was doing it on purpose, he didn't want to argue with him at that moment.After all, Jessica was still in the car, and now the news about Jessica's amnesia was spreading everywhere in the circle, but he didn't want Chad to know that Jessica had lost her memory.Moreover, Jessica is intelligent. Just now, Chad deliberately greeted Jessica, and Jessica's response couldn't be faulted.Only the pre-amnesia Jessica would ask such a question about his relation
Terry felt Jessica's dependence and he looked up at her. The tenderness in her peach blossom eyes was almost overflowing. "Of course."Jessica smirked and said, "Well, I think there shouldn't be any problem.""With your intelligence, there wouldn't have been any problem."Jessica ate a shrimp and said, "Intelligence cannot hide lies, but it's different when you're around."I don't know why, but Jessica just felt that if Terry was with her, things wouldn't be difficult.Terry's heart stirred slightly as he looked at her and said, "Hannah would also go.""She, it would be good if she didn't cause trouble."Although she couldn't remember what happened before, just those few days were enough for Jessica to see what kind of person Hannah was.You say she is smart, but she is indeed easily deceived; but if you say she is foolish, she actually reacts quite quickly.Just one person, Jessica didn't think it was reliable.Hannah didn't know that even though Jessica had lost her memory, she stil
Hari arrived a bit late tonight. Jessica and Terry had just greeted Derek when he walked over from the crowd.Seeing Jessica, Hari didn't even care about Lucas and the others anymore, and went straight up to her, saying, "Jessica, do you still remember me?"Lucas's face visibly darkened when he heard Hari's words.In the information Terry provided last night, among Lucas's contacts, Hari was the second most prominent.This guy is just someone who enjoys watching the excitement and doesn't mind getting involved in big matters. This kind of person is very easy to deal with, just say a few words to him and he will lose interest in joining the fun.Jessica looked at him and snorted coldly, "Mr. Hartley, is your memory so poor? You can forget someone in just twenty days?"Hari was a bit embarrassed after being scolded by Jessica, "No, it's normal for you to forget about me when you're busy with important matters."Jessica glanced at him and snorted lightly, "I'm not as busy as Mr. Hartley,
Jessica was chatting with Hannah about Mona's wedding preparations when a waiter approached them. "Ms. Hall, Lucas said he has something to tell you and hopes you can go to the poolside," he said.Jessica raised an eyebrow and was about to speak when Hannah, who was beside her, spoke first, "Tell him that Jessica doesn't want to hear him speak!"The waiter glanced at Hannah, then looked at Jessica, feeling a bit awkward.Jessica took a sip of champagne and placed it on the tray held by the waiter. "I got it, you can go now."The waiter couldn't guess whether Jessica would go or not, but that woman just asked him to pass on a message, and he did pass it on. As for whether Jessica would go or not, it's not something he could decide.The waiter glanced at Jessica and didn't say anything else. After all, he was just a worker and couldn't afford to offend anyone at the party tonight. "Sorry for disturbing you, Ms. Hall."After speaking, the waiter walked away with the tray.Hannah looked a
When Mona and Hannah arrived, what they saw was exactly this scene.Hannah saw the situation and quickly ran to Jessica's side, "Jessica, what's going on?"Jessica smiled and said, "It's nothing. Ms. Coffey felt a bit hot, so she went down to the pool to cool off."In the meantime, Heidy, who had fallen into the pool, swam to the shore. Upon seeing this, Jessica lifted her leg and accidentally stepped on Heidy's hand, which was clinging to the edge of the pool.Heidy felt a sharp pain and screamed, "Ah! Jessica!""Wasn't Ms. Coffey hot? She should cool down for a while."Jessica stood on the shore, looking down at her from a higher position.Heidy's dress today had a very spacious skirt, and after getting into the water, it got soaked. The whole dress was wet, heavy, and cumbersome, making it difficult for her to climb ashore.Moreover, just now when Jessica stepped on her, it hurt so much that it almost reached the top of her head.She believed that if she went up and clung to the ed
Jessica and Hannah stayed by the pool, while Heidy wanted to go up but couldn't.In the crowd of spectators, there was also no one who had just become the center of attention.Until all the ice cubes in the swimming pool had melted, Jessica walked over to Heidy's side and said, "Ms. Coffey, please stop giving me ideas in the future."She said, turning around to look at Terry not far away, "And also, my dear, you better not have any ideas!"After saying that, she finally threw away the branches in her hand and glanced at Hannah, saying, "Let's go."Hannah put her high heels back on, clapped her hands, walked over to Mona, took a tissue to wipe her hands, spat at Heidy in the swimming pool, and then followed Jessica and the others back to the banquet hall.The hustle and bustle had ended, and people dispersed.Derek instructed someone to bring a towel for Heidy, and Chad pulled her up.The large swimming pool, with those three blocks of ice not melting very much, but the water was alrea
Jessica paused for a moment and said, "Ravioli?"After speaking, she suddenly thought of something. "It's so late, will there be ravioli?""There was."Terry looked at her and inexplicably smiled.Jessica blushed as she looked into those smiling peach blossom eyes. She raised her hand and touched her own cheek, asking, "Is there something on my face?""No."He slightly lowered his gaze and looked down at Jessica's left wrist.She wore a formal dress today and did not wear that watch.But he wore it.Terry touched the watch on his left wrist and furrowed his brows.Both of them drank some alcohol tonight, so Jerry had to be the one driving.When the car stopped downstairs of the apartment, Jessica was a little surprised, "Aren't we eating ravioli?""It was eating ravioli."He responded, pushed open the car door and got out of the car, waiting for her next to the door.Jessica looked at him, hesitated for a moment, pulled her skirt, took his offered hand, and lifted her leg to get out o
Jessica thought Terry was just going for a joyride when he said they were going out for a drive, until he led her to the Video Arcade, and then she understood the true meaning of Terry's words "haven't taken her out to play in a long time."She looked at everything shining inside the Video Arcade and felt somewhat surprised, "You... like playing these?"She had completely forgotten about the past events, so she naturally had no idea why Terry had brought her here.Terry smiled and glanced at her, "Hmm, I liked it."He said he liked it, but that "like" didn't seem like an answer to her question, but rather something he said to her.Jessica raised an eyebrow and pretended not to understand his words, she averted her gaze and said, "I didn't expect that, Mr. Davison.""It's not too late to know now."He exchanged the coins and then took her to play everything.The two of them came out of the Video Arcade and it was already past on
The big pot in the kitchen was still warm with hot water. Terry took a basin and filled it with hot water, then carried it back to the room to soak Jessica's feet.Because it rained, not only did the shoes get muddy, but they also got wet from the water.Jessica's socks were all wet, so she took them off and her feet became as cold as ice cubes.Terry held her foot and said, "It's a bit hot, be careful.""Um."Jessica nodded her head and saw him getting up to go out again. "Where are you going?""Take your boots to wash and dry them by the stove."Upon hearing his words, Jessica immediately grabbed him and said, "Stop it for now, aren't your shoes wet too? Let's soak them together."Terry was wearing leather shoes, and those black shoes were already covered in mud.Jessica knew that he had OCD, her gaze fell on his shoes, and her heart felt a little sour.He always seemed to be like this, never speaking up when he
At six o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock rang, and Jessica was awakened. She opened her eyes, and the room was still lit. She hadn't slept well all night and had a slight headache.Terry on the side took the phone, turned off the alarm clock, and glanced outside the window, saying, "It's still dark outside.""Um."Jessica responded, "They arrived around seven o'clock."Yesterday, the funeral service personnel communicated with her and said that it would be best to have the burial before eight o'clock, as it is the local custom.Jessica was in charge of these matters for the first time and didn't know anything. The other party was professional, so she naturally listened to them.Since the burial is scheduled before 8 o'clock, they have to arrive before 7 o'clock, and they have to leave before 7:30.She didn't sleep well. Terry looked at the dark circles under her eyes and said, "You go back to sleep, I'll make breakfast."
Morgan and May arrived a little after four in the afternoon, and Jessica and Terry had already tidied up the rooms they had previously stayed in.There are a total of two rooms, one that Jessica used to live in and one on the side of the yard. Four people were just enough to live in.As soon as Morgan and May entered the room, they saw the wooden coffin placed in the middle of the hall and both of them felt a bit nostalgic.Morgan turned fifty this year, the age of destiny, and increasingly felt that he was no longer young. His energy and physical strength were not as good as before.A few months ago, Roberto was still fine, but now he's gone just like that. Morgan looked at the coffin and couldn't help but sigh."Dad, Mom."Jessica also tidied up her mood and handed two cups of hot water to Morgan and May.May glanced at Jessica and said, "Don't be too sad, Jessica."Jessica smiled and said, "I was indeed feeling down this mor
Roberto didn't like to socialize with people in the village on regular days, and now that he's gone, there is no one coming to the village.The front door of the old house was hung with white paper, which was blown by the wind and tangled together.Terry boiled hot water and brought it to Jessica, saying, "It's windy here."Jessica had been standing at the door for quite a while. The weather today was not very good. It had been gloomy since she woke up in the morning, and it was still gloomy now, almost noon.Jessica took the cup and turned around to look at Terry. "I told you, Roberto's personality, when he's gone, not many people come to see him off."She held the water cup and turned around to walk back.The door was not closed, it was left open, making it convenient for people to come in.But when everyone saw the white paper stuck on the door, they all understood what was going on. Normally, they were not very familiar with what
It was a little after six in the morning, and the sound of a ringing phone echoed in the quiet room, which seemed quite abrupt.Jessica was suddenly awakened, and Terry also heard the phone ringing. He opened his eyes and reached out to turn on the room light when she grabbed her phone.The dark room suddenly became bright, and the light was a bit dazzling. Jessica raised her hand to shield her eyes and answered the phone, "Hello, how are you?"Because I had just been awakened, my voice sounded a bit hoarse.The person on the phone spoke urgently, "Is this Julie? This is Long Town Hospital. Mr. Garrison suddenly had a heart failure just now and was rushed in for resuscitation. Can you come to the hospital?"Jessica's hand trembled slightly, "Okay, I'll be right there."Upon hearing her words, Terry also realized what was going on.He took the clothes beside him and handed them to Jessica. The two of them quickly changed into pajamas,
Jessica walked out of the ward, and there were no medical staff patrolling outside the hospital corridor. Two nurses were sitting at the nurse station, and no one was speaking. The only sound was the footsteps of her shoes on the floor.It was already past 8 o'clock in the evening at this time. She had just bought a sweet potato at the door, but she only ate half of it and couldn't finish it, so she threw it away. After a busy afternoon, she now feels hungry and tired.The person entered the elevator, feeling unusually heavy and uncomfortable.Roberto's words left her speechless. Their relationship couldn't reach the point where she could forcefully demand him to accept treatment. He was unwilling to continue with the therapy, and she had no means at all.Roberto had not put the keys into her bag yet, and Jessica looked down at the keys in the palm of her hand, feeling a bit absent-minded.The elevator door "dinged" and opened in response. She look
Jessica was taken aback for a moment. She pursed her lips and then raised her eyebrows, walking in with a lifted leg. "Roberto, it's only been a few days. How did you manage to get yourself like this?"When she said these words, her tone was relaxed, as if she didn't know anything yet.Roberto looked at her for a moment, then snorted coldly after a while, "How did you know I was here?""Didn't you ask me to come over?"Jessica walked up to the bedside, her footsteps coming to a halt, and raised an eyebrow, "So, should I leave?"With that, she actually turned around and prepared to leave.Roberto, seeing the situation, quickly spoke up, "Stop! Come back to me!"He was only saved last night, and at this moment, even though he tried his best, his voice was still not as strong as before, and there was even a hint of weakness that couldn't keep up.Jessica stopped in her tracks, turned around, and glanced at the medicine packets on
Things quieted down for Heidy and Wilson, and the gossip in the circle also decreased. Jessica and Terry, on the other hand, became busier day by day towards the end of October.The day Jessica received the phone call from Long Town, she happened to be out of LA. During those days, she was coincidentally on a business trip with Wendy.The first time she saw it was an unfamiliar call, she immediately rejected it, until the other person quickly made a second call. Jessica then answered, "Hello, I am Jessica.""Jessica? Aren't you Julie?""Julie," it had been a long time since someone called her by that name, Jessica paused for a moment, "Julie is me.""Oh, well, here's the thing. We have a patient here named Mr. Garrison. He was just resuscitated last night and he's a bit more conscious this morning. He asked me to get in touch with you, Julie."Jessica didn't know anyone named Mr. Garrison, but in Long Town, the only person who knew her as Ju
