Jessica didn't not want to take care of Hannah's matters, but she "couldn't".On the phone, Hannah had already explained it very clearly.They didn't like her, and they didn't even ask her for money. It was she herself who rushed to help them repay the money.But since a wife suddenly appeared, she had to find out what was going on.Terry had a meeting in the afternoon, so after he dropped Jessica off at the apartment, he went back to Sharp Technology.Seeing him come back, Jerry visibly breathed a sigh of relief. "Mr. Davison, here are the meeting materials for later."Terry took the documents and said, "Can you help me look up something?"He spoke as he placed the USB drive that Jessica gave him on the desk. "The woman who harmed Hannah is in the USB drive. Help me find out who she is."Terry paused and said, "Also, please help me check the information of others."Jerry was somewhat surprised when he heard Terry's words.Hannah was Jessica's best friend, and Jerry was naturally some
Olivia didn't want to anger Jessica. She invited Jessica out today because she genuinely wanted to apologize for her past actions.It just so happened that I thought, with this matter, I could give Jessica and Lucas an opportunity.But as soon as Jessica came in and saw Lucas's face, she became cold. Now, after only a few words, she said she couldn't eat her meal anymore, which naturally made Olivia a little worried.She glanced at Lucas beside her and said, "Let's not talk about these things anymore. Let's just have a meal."At this moment, Lucas, who had been silent all along, finally moved his thin lips and said, "If you don't want to see me, I can just leave."He said, stood up directly and said, "You guys eat.""Lucas--"Olivia looked at Jessica, hoping she would speak up to keep Lucas.Jessica thought for a moment, "Lucas, you should stay. There are some things that I think you should also want to clarify."Lucas had already reached the door when he heard her words, and his foot
"He accepted the past me and is tolerant of the present me, so what reason do I have not to believe that he will cherish the future me?"Jessica said this, suddenly feeling bored.She felt that she had nothing to say to Lucas and wanted to make it clear to him, but it was just that she didn't want to make an enemy out of Terry.After all, in the business world, it is easy to avoid open attacks but difficult to guard against hidden arrows.But now, she feels that it is not necessary anymore.Jessica picked up the bag next to her and stood up directly, saying, "Parting on good terms, I think I have said this sentence to you more than once."After saying that, she immediately grabbed her handbag and left the compartment.Not long after leaving, Terry's phone rang. The coldness on Jessica's face disappeared, and a smile appeared on her lips. "Has Mr. Davison finished work?""Well, have you finished eating? Was it delicious?""Generally, yes.""I will take you to eat delicious food next ti
Not long after Jessica finished reading the information, Terry came out with a cup of hot ginger tea with black sugar, saying, "Be careful, it's hot."The just-cooked black sugar ginger water, Terry didn't let her borrow it, but instead placed it on the side coffee table.Jessica glanced at him and raised the documents in her hand, "Did you look at them?"Terry nodded, "I have seen it."Jessica was not surprised at all. "Do you think I should show this information to Hannah?"The person who came to cause trouble that day was indeed Dominic's wife, because Paige Parsons was only twenty years old. They did not have a marriage certificate, they just had a ceremony in front of Dominic's mother, named Paige.Dominic and Paige had a good relationship, and they also had a son named Anton Jefferson. Anton just turned one year old last month.Paige had been living with Dominic's mother all along, but after Dominic came to LA from Salt Lake City last year, he never contacted Paige and them agai
People who fall in love are either fools or madmen, Terry is not the latter, so he is the former.Jessica couldn't believe that he could actually stop at a time like this, even she herself couldn't hold back.The light above her head was shining, making her vision a bit blurry. Jessica was panting, her mind feeling a bit blank.Just as she was lost in thought, the man on her body had already gotten up.The passionate man had a captivating charm in his eyes and eyebrows.He already had a stunning face, and those peach blossom eyes were even more captivating. Now, with a hint of red at the corners of his eyes and a touch of desire in the depths, when he looked over, even though he restrained himself, one could still see the fierce beast within his eyes.Jessica looked at the black sugar ginger water he handed her and blinked her eyes slightly, "Don't you want it, Terry?"Upon hearing her words, Terry's hand holding the cup visibly trembled, causing ripples in the water inside the cup.T
"Okay, I sent you her phone number."Terry paused for a moment and said, "She should have been in LA these past few days."Jessica swallowed the pierogi in her mouth and took a few sips of water from the nearby glass. "Alright, I'll give Paige a call," she said.Terry nodded and reached out to stack the bowl and plate before carrying them into the kitchen.Jessica arranged to meet Paige at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Terry first dropped Jessica off at the coffee shop before going to the office.When Jessica arrived, Paige had not arrived yet.The waiter came over with the menu and asked Jessica how many people. Jessica requested a table for two, ordered a cup of cappuccino, and waited for about eight minutes. Paige arrived late.Paige did not come alone. She brought her friend along.Jessica raised an eyebrow, but didn't say much, "Paige, hello, I'm Jessica, Hannah's friend.""I didn't know you."It can be seen that after Paige took people to fight against Hannah, she also felt a litt
Paige was not a fool either, although Jessica's words were not stated explicitly, they were still quite obvious.A person, appearance changed, personality changed too, there is only one explanation, that person is simply not the same person anymore.Jessica didn't care who Dominic was, she just wanted to know what Dominic wanted to do."Do you know where he is now?"Jessica took a pack of tissues from her bag and handed it to Paige.Paige took the tissue and said thank you, then shook her head. "I don't know where he is! He hasn't contacted me in a long time! If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have left my young son behind to come find him!"It can be seen that Paige did not lie.If Paige had known where Dominic went, she wouldn't have had to bring people to stake out Hannah. If she could have staked out Dominic, she wouldn't have resorted to violence against Hannah."Paige, I think you already had your own answer in your heart, the current Dominic is no longer the Dominic you knew, ev
Jessica put her phone back into her pocket, pulled her into the bathroom, and raised her hand to turn on the showerhead.The water was cold, and when it fell, Hannah jumped up immediately, saying, "The water is cold!""What are you afraid of in the middle of summer?"Jessica said as she directly took down the showerhead, "You're not sober, aren't you? Let me make you sober now!"Jessica said, holding the shower head directly towards Hannah's face.Hannah raised her hand and covered her face, saying, "You didn't have to be so harsh!"Jessica turned off the water after the showerhead sprayed her for a while, put her messy hair back, and said, "Take a good shower and wash off that unpleasant smell from your body, then come out!"Hannah heard her words and instinctively lowered her head to smell, "Where on me smells bad?"Jessica sneered and walked out the door directly.This was her first time coming to Hannah's house after
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
