Lucas raised his head to meet Justin's gaze and said indifferently, "I was the one who told Jessica that I used her. She was angry and wanted to take revenge on me. It's normal." Lucas spoke lightly, but Justin was furious. Justin looked at his favorite grandson in disbelief. "Lucas, can you repeat that?" Lucas raised his hand and rubbed his temples. He didn't sleep well last night and was woken up early in the morning. His head hurt a little. "You didn't hear me wrong. I am the cause." Lucas paused and said, "By the way, you said that if Luna wakes up, you will let me marry her. Now she wakes up, Grandpa, it is time for you to fulfill your promise." "Bang!" Justin was so angry that he smashed the vase on the desk directly at Lucas. "Get lost, get lost! Out!" Lucas looked at Justin, whose face was still cold and expressionless. "Grandpa, don't be angry. It won't be good if your blood pressure rises. I'm going back to work. I'll get someone to handle the news online."
Lucas felt that what Vincent had got was ridiculous. Lucas was drugged that night. When his mind was not so clear, he once asked her why she did that. Lucas remembered that she said she liked him and thus wanted him. But now the results of the investigation said that the hotel surveillance was broken that night, but some witnesses saw that Jessica was also drugged. If this was true, then in those three years, why didn't Jessica explain it to Lucas? That was so absurd! Lucas put on a grim face. A storm was coming. Lucas dialed the intercom. "Come in!" Lucas then hung up the phone. Vincent held the receiver and he had a throb in his heart. Vincent knew Lucas was going to be furious! But Vincent had to face Lucas' rage. What were secretaries for? Vincent took a deep breath, then got up and walked to Lucas' office. "Mr. Thomas?" "Are you kidding me with the results of your investigation, Vincent?" Vincent looked up and saw Lucas sitting on the office chair
Jessica slept until nearly 10 a.m. For someone as self—disciplined as Jessica, that rarely happened. Jessica struggled up, feeling her body a little hotter than usual, and her head ached as well. She took out an electronic thermometer from the drawer and checked her body temperature. As assumed, she had a fever. Jessica sent a message to Wendy. After that, she covered herself with a blanket and fell asleep again. Probably because Jessica was sick, she dreamed of her past. For example, in high school, a few street gangs once stopped Jessica. One of them attacked her and she thus fainted. Later, a schoolboy saved Jessica. In her dream, Jessica saw a boy run over and hug her. Then she dreamed that she was in the hospital with Morgan and May by her side. The nurse said that the boy who sent Jessica to the hospital did not leave any personal information. The only thing he left was a baseball jacket. The jacket was stained with blood. When May washed it, she found a note
The cold Jessica caught was overwhelming. Jessica felt so unwell and dizzy. Jessica had a bowl of corn soup and said to Terry, "Thank you." Probably due to the fever, Jessica's pale face blushed. Terry clicked his tongue and raised his hand to rub Jessica's head. "You are more than welcome. Be good and let's go to the hospital." Jessica had a fever and her body temperature was thus high. Terry's palm fell on her forehead and she could feel the gap between their body temperatures. Jessica shook her head stubbornly. "I'm not going to the hospital." Terry suddenly leaned over, his pair of almond eyes staring straight at Jessica. He looked at her with a sly smile. "Make a choice between me carrying you and you following me." The two of them gazed at each other for a few seconds, and finally, Jessica gave up. She was so bunged up that she even shed tears. She looked somehow weaker. "I'll get a coat." Terry then stood up, lifted his eyelids, and looked at Jessica with
After a few minutes, Terry found that Jessica didn't move at all. He lowered his head and said, "Jessica?" That was when Terry realized that Jessica had fallen asleep. It was already their turn to get the medicine. Yet Terry was holding Jessica with both his hands. Thus, he couldn't get the medicine by himself. Terry looked around and walked to two young women not far away with Jessica in his arms. "Excuse me. My girlfriend is asleep now, so I can't get the medicine. Would you please get the medicine for us?" The two women had been watching Terry and Jessica for a long time. Just now, they were secretly discussing how sweet a couple they were. They nodded at once when Terry asked them for help. One of the women took the medicine back and could not help but glance at Jessica, who buried her head in Terry's arms. Probably because Jessica had fallen asleep, most of her face was exposed. Although only half of her face could be seen, people could still tell that it was a pret
The car slowly drove out of the hospital. Jessica looked at the reporters in the rearview mirror and frowned. When Trissy rushed over to pull her, Jessica was awakened. She had heard what Trissy said. Was Trissy crazy? Trissy even made up stories to blacken Jessica's name. Didn't Trissy know what Jessica said to Luna? She was there when Jessica said what she said. Seeing Jessica in silence, Terry turned to look at her and asked, "You are not happy, are you?" Jessica glanced at Terry, but she did not speak. Terry nodded slightly. He tapped the steering wheel with his index finger and did not speak again. The red light ahead turned green. Terry glanced at Jessica again before starting the car again. The gossip about Luna and Lucas had just been removed when Luna's suicide became a trending topic again. Even Vincent didn't know what to do. Moreover, what Trissy had said to Jessica at the hospital was undoubtedly directly related to Luna's suicide. The netizens all
With that, Jessica paused for a moment. "What did he say to you?" "Nothing too important. He just told me to take good care of you since you had a cold and a fever. He also told me that you didn't eat anything for a day. He then left." Hannah said, remembering why she had come back. "By the way, what's that Internet gossip about? What does Luna have to do with you?" "What does Luna's suicide have to do with me?" Jessica threw the question back to Hannah. As Jessica spoke, she reached out to take tissue from the side and wiped her lips before continuing, "What did the netizens say about me?" Though Jessica hadn't read the comments on the Internet, she knew those netizens must be scolding her, based on what Trissy had said. When Hannah heard what Jessica said, she got blown up again. "I'm so angry! Everyone on the Internet said that you forced Luna to commit suicide!" "In that case, I'm so capable." Jessica sneered. Hannah threw her phone away. "They're so mean!" J
This matter had caused a great stir on the Internet. The audience who had once been obsessed with the Kardashian family even hoped that the Thomas family could also be on the TV so that they could watch the show. Now, everyone on Twitter knew that Lucas married Jessica was waiting for Luna to come back. However, the agreement between the Cheek family and the Thomas family was only known to the two families, and outsiders did not know. Luna used Jessica to spark public discussion, obviously to prevent being forced to go abroad again. Luna's action could not only make Lucas feel sorry for her but also make him blame Jessica. Moreover, the Thomas family would know that Luna would return openly. It was such a perfect plan. The reason why Luna's plan succeeded was that Lucas couldn't see the whole picture. He even called Vincent over to the office and planned to compensate Jessica for the divorce. When Vincent heard Lucas' order, his exp
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
