After the incident, Jessica and Terry came out of the police station and it was almost 7 o'clock. Jessica was feeling a bit hungry.
It was very cold on the snowy day. Terry led her to the car and let her get in first.
The car had been parked outside for over an hour, and the heating had long gone.
Terry turned on the heater and asked, "Are we still going out for dinner?"
"Let's eat, didn't we already reserve a table?"
Terry smirked and said, "Okay."
The car slowly started, and the inside of the carriage gradually warmed up.
Jessica's phone vibrated, and she looked down to see a message from Wendy.
She raised an eyebrow, clicked on it to download the email, and then opened it.
Wendy's initiative was strong, and in just over an hour, she had researched all the information about "the Golden Chain".
The Golden Chain was indeed Roberto's nephew, but Roberto had long severed ties with their family.
These days, I
Jessica was stunned for a moment, she had lost her memory and couldn't remember anything.Now, hearing Terry mention the past again, I feel like an unrelated bystander.But she was also a bystander who loved Terry, listening to his casual words, feeling an indescribable sense of oppression in her heart.She pursed her lips and asked, "Why were you able to persist for so many years?"The car stopped as the traffic light turned red. Terry turned to her and looked at her directly, saying, "Maybe I was too stubborn?"He said this with a smile, but Jessica felt a little sour in her heart as she listened, “If you had the chance to do it all over again, would you still be so stubborn?""Yeah, I will."He responded and suddenly reached out to grab her hand, his fingers landing on her middle finger, which was adorned with an engagement ring."But I might not have had that much patience, I might have just eloped."He smiled and to
Morgan said ten minutes, and indeed, in ten minutes, he had finished preparing the remaining two dishes.Four people, Morgan made a soup and eight dishes.When the four of them sat down, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, and this lunchtime was a bit late.Jessica got up at seven in the morning and went to the airport with Terry after having breakfast.There were snacks on the plane, but she didn't like to eat them.So until now, Jessica hasn't had anything else to eat except for the bowl of soup she just drank.Outside, it was unknown who set off the fireworks, and occasional sounds could be heard. The New Year was getting closer and closer.Morgan opened a bottle of red wine, and Jessica drank about half a cup.Morgan rarely drank outside, but today, feeling happy, he had two drinks and started talking to Terry about how he had met Brice.Terry occasionally responded with one or two sentences, with Jessi
The two of them walked and stopped, and saw a stall where people were playing games. There were also many curious onlookers in front of the stall, so Jessica and Terry also stopped.Terry touched her hand and didn't feel it was cold before speaking, "Do you want to play?"Jessica shook her head and said, "I have never played this before."The mouth of the pot was so narrow and small, who could throw it in without practice.She was just curious and wanted to see if anyone would play.But obviously, most people don't know how to play, they just want to have some fun and try something new.Jessica looked for a while and wanted to continue walking forward. Suddenly, her feet tightened, and she lowered her head only to realize that a little girl, who had just reached her knees, was hugging her.She quickly pulled Terry's sleeve. Terry lowered his head and saw the little girl. His eyes lit up with curiosity, "Where did you come from?"
The time was already late, and Jessica hadn't taken a bath for long.She had just come out of the bathroom when she saw her bedroom door being pushed open.Jessica paused for a moment and looked at Terry, who was walking in wearing pajamas. "What's wrong?""Go to sleep."He spoke as he walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, lifting the covers and lying down directly.Jessica raised an eyebrow and said, "Aren't you afraid my mom will walk in tomorrow?""Auntie should have given you some face."He smiled, with a hint of pride in his eyes.Jessica clicked her tongue and said, "No, you go back to sleep!"Terry looked at her, raising an eyebrow, "So, did you come to my room again in the middle of the night?"Upon hearing her words, her face grew slightly warm. "Who said that? Last time, I was just not accustomed to it.""Well, this time I wasn't used to it."He said, picking up the phone she had plac
Jessica washed her face and felt much more awake. She looked at Terry, who was lying on her bed again, and chuckled, "Terry, are you shameless even in my house?"He did not directly answer her question, "I woke up at six o'clock this morning."Jessica clicked her tongue and said, "Well, you are really impressive."He smiled and reached out to lift her onto the bed, saying, "Weren't you planning to sleep in tomorrow morning?""Yeah."Jessica looked down at him and didn't react for a moment, “What's wrong? Do you want to go to Brice's place?"Even though Terry is not biologically related, he should still go and see Brice."No."He leaned in and kissed her on the face.Jessica had just washed her face, and the water on her face had not completely dried yet. Her face felt cool, but Terry's lips were warm, and his breath was warm too.The heater was on in the room, and she was only wearing a loose sweater when Terry ef
Time passed minute by minute, and the sky outside had long turned dark, but the light in the operating room was still red, and the door to the operating room had not been pushed open.No one knew what was going on with Brice.Jessica could feel the uneasiness in Terry's emotions, and she lifted her other hand to cover his hand, “Terry."Upon hearing her voice, Terry turned his head towards her and said, "I'm fine."He finished speaking and then let go, giving her head a rub.Jessica held his hand tightly and didn't say anything.It was around 7 o'clock in the evening when the door of the emergency room was finally opened. However, it was indeed the doctors and nurses who came out with the surgical consent form, saying, "Who among you is Brice's family member? The patient is currently experiencing severe bleeding and we need someone to sign..."Terry stood up subconsciously, Jessica realized it first and gently pulled him.Benne
When Jessica woke up, the sky outside had already turned dark.Terry was no longer in the room. She picked up the phone beside her and found a message from Terry on Line.He was already over at the hospital, Brice had just woken up, but the situation wasn't very good, he still needed to stay in the ICU.Jessica breathed a sigh of relief and then glanced at the time, realizing that she had slept until after 7 o'clock in the evening.These past few days, Terry hardly closed her eyes. Although she dozed off while accompanying him, she couldn't sleep well after all. Today, she was persuaded by May and Morgan to come over to the hotel and rest, and finally had a good night's sleep.After a nap, Jessica felt much better.She turned on the light and sat on the bed for a while before getting up to tidy up downstairs and have a quick bite. Then, she packed some food and headed to the hospital.The hotel was not far from the hospital, it was ju
Brice suddenly snorted, but after snorting, he suddenly started coughing, coughing quite severely. Jessica quickly took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to Terry.Terry took the tissue and placed it by Brice's lips.Brice glanced at Terry, struggled to move, and spat onto the tissue.Terry got up and threw the tissue into the bathroom. Jessica saw the thermos next to her and opened it, pouring half a cup of water for Brice to drink."When I was a child, I held you in my arms. Do you remember?"Brice suddenly changed his name, and Jessica was somewhat happy. "I don't remember, Brice."Brice suddenly remembered something and smiled, "I am getting old and have a bad memory. I forgot that you had an incident last year, I don't remember past events."Jessica smiled and said, "Just the day before yesterday, my dad told me about how you used to hold me when I was just over a year old."Speaking of old times, Brice was in a good mood. "In the blink of an eye, you have grown into such a
Kendall glanced at her sideways and said, "Isn't it obvious?"Hannah, of course, knew that he was looking at her, but she just wanted to ask and confirm."This photographer was quite good at taking photos."Kendall's gaze was quite affectionate.She looked at the photo for a while again, and then happily put it down and looked at other photos.However, there was only one photo that was captured so well, the rest were mostly intentionally posed and the outcome was good.Hannah had been flipping through hundreds of photos for over three hours when Kendall finally took the album from her hands and forcefully carried her away, saying, "Go take a shower, if you don't shower now, you won't be able to wake up tomorrow."Hannah hooked her arm around his neck, raised an eyebrow, and looked at him. "Don't you like the photo? Why aren't you looking at it?""There was plenty of time to take a slow look later."Hannah clicked her ton
Hannah was really happy today. The news of Gemma's passing had been affecting her and Kendall's mood these past few days.When I returned to the company today, I learned that we had signed such a big project. Naturally, everyone was happy no matter who it was.During the dinner, Hannah drank a bottle of beer and couldn't drive back home, so she had to ask Kendall to come and pick her up.More than two months ago, she and Kendall announced their marriage by sending out wedding candies, and everyone knew about the wedding.However, many people in the company had never seen what Kendall looked like. After the dinner, they all gossiped and stood on the roadside, waiting for someone to show up.Hannah rarely felt embarrassed, "Why don't you go back? It's already late, you won't be able to wake up tomorrow.""Ms. Howell, rest assured, I set more than ten alarms. It was absolutely impossible for me to be late for work!""Was Ms. Howell worri
Hannah and Kendall returned to the villa late in the evening, feeling hungry and impatient as the takeaway they had ordered in advance had not arrived yet. They also got wet when they rushed inside."Go take a shower first."Kendall handed her a cup of warm water and gestured for her to go upstairs.The rain was pouring heavily, and it was still pitter-pattering down at the moment. Hannah also felt a bit cold.She drank a few sips of water, then she put down the cup and went upstairs to change clothes and take a shower.Hannah was both hungry and cold, so she took a hot shower and then went downstairs.Kendall just came in with an umbrella, carrying takeout. "You go ahead and eat, I'll go upstairs and change into a fresh set of clothes."Hannah walked over to the dining table and sat down, watching him take out and arrange everything.Kendall placed the chicken soup in front of her, "Drink the soup first, so it doesn't get cold
Foster originally thought that his memory would never fully recover for the rest of his life, but a car accident in the third year after immigrating made him go through the gates of death again, but also returned all of his lost memories.Samuel was taken aback for a moment when he saw the look in her eyes and said, "Don't tell me you've lost your memory again."There were many wounds on his body. Foster tried to get up, but he found himself very heavy.Upon seeing the situation, Samuel also became afraid and quickly spoke, "Don't move, we finally got out of the ICU, don't go back again."Foster did not move anymore, he turned his head and looked outside the window of the ward.The weather today was very nice, just like the day eight years ago when he left.That day, he left carrying a family grudge, thinking that Hannah was just an accident.Eight years later, their revenge had been avenged, and Hannah had long since married.
On the day of Gemma's seventh birthday, Hannah and Kendall went to the park and set up a tent. They invited Georgia and brought a small grill. The three of them had a pleasant afternoon.Georgia also realized at that time that Gemma had actually been looking forward to going camping with them in a couple of days when she left.Today, we went camping, which fulfilled Gemma's unfinished wish.Gemma left, and the rest of the people had to continue living their lives.Kendall had originally taken a vacation for over a month, intending to return to the company only after the two of them got married and officially ended their leave.Now Gemma couldn't wait for his and Hannah's wedding, so he left. There was still nearly a month left, and Kendall asked Hannah to stay with Georgia on the South side for a while, as he was going abroad.He went abroad to meet the senior executives of the Harrington Group, who had been overseas all along. After that, h
After the cremation was completed, the staff asked Kendall to pick up the bones.Without waiting for Kendall to speak, she immediately refused.She couldn't understand this twisted "service". The loss of a loved one is already enough to make people feel desperate and miserable, and after cremation, they actually make people go and pick up the bones.Even though it was just symbolically picking one or two, it still remained incomprehensible.This was simply cruel and incomprehensible.The people in charge of the cemetery burial had already made arrangements. After leaving the funeral home, the group followed the car to the cemetery.The location of Gemma's grave was very good, and the photo on the tombstone showed her in her thirties, looking young, elegant, and beautiful.The urn was placed inside, the tomb was buried, and everything came to a complete end here.Hannah looked up at the distant sky with red eyes.The weat
Hannah really had no appetite and couldn't continue eating after a few bites.She lowered her head and drank the chicken soup that Gemma had specially instructed the aunt to stew before leaving. Tears fell directly into the soup.In fact, there wasn't much deep emotion between her and Gemma, but during this time, listening to her talk about many childhood things, now that she's gone, this sudden blow has made Hannah unable to bear it.She lowered her head, trying hard to calm her emotions, but the more she tried, the more uncomfortable she felt.Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and got up to go to the bathroom.Hannah stayed in the bathroom for a while before she came out.At that time, Georgia and Jaylen also came over.The sky had already turned completely dark when Georgia and Jaylen stepped in, guided by the moonlight."Where was your mother?"Georgia looked relatively calm and, looking at Kendall, asked a quest
Kendall quickly bought everything and brought it back.Recently, Gemma actually couldn't eat much. She relied on nutrient fluids and some soup to maintain the most basic nutrition.She was rare in the mood to eat something at the moment, although she didn't eat much, she tried a little bit of everything."This sausage isn't that delicious, why do so many children like to eat it?"Gemma was particularly puzzled. It smelled quite fragrant, but when she tasted it, it was really average.Hannah smiled and said, "Probably because parents didn't allow us to eat it often, so it tasted better.""Hannah's point does make some sense,"She said, sighing, "In fact, that's just how people are, no matter who they are or how old they are, there's always a bit of rebellion. The more others try to stop you from doing something, the more you want to do it."And she herself, wasn't she like this too?The group of people started walking bac
After Kendall returned to the South town, Gemma visibly became much happier.Kendall had everything arranged for work. After returning from this vacation, unless there was a necessary emergency, he wouldn't even answer a work phone call.Every day, Hannah and I would go to Gemma's place for meals. In the evening, when the sun was setting, the two of us would push Gemma for a walk outside the villa.Blaine did come to see Gemma once, probably after her serious illness. Gemma also let go of a lot and didn't feel the same way about Blaine as before.After so many years since their divorce, this is the first time they sat down to have a proper conversation.After Konnor's death, Kendall was unwilling to inherit everything from the Hawthorne family, but the shares he returned did not fall into his hands, nor did they fall into Jeffrey's hands.Nowadays, Jeffrey is just a nobody.Blaine's days were looking bright, but all was in Kendall's h
