Chapter 410 The Evans Family Crisis (4)
Jessica stood there in a daze, her eyes following the woman's back, while she wondered if she would end up in such a miserable state after the surgery.
Kylie seemed to sense her thoughts and said, "You see, it's really painful. Besides, even though this baby has just taken root in your belly, it's still a little life, your child. Jessica, think it over again."
Jessica still didn't have the courage to take that step.
Her hand unconsciously stroked her lower abdomen, feeling the faint life inside.
The more she did this, the more reluctant she became.
In the end, she smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you, Kylie. I'll head back now."
Maybe heaven didn't want her to abort this child?
Otherwise, why would John call her at this exact moment and ask her to come home?
The Evans family.
When Jessica got home, a sumptuous dinner was already laid out on the table.
But Louisa and John both looked very serious.
Especially John, who looked so haggard as if he were ill.
"Dad, what's wrong? Why do you look so bad?"
Jessica looked at John with concern and said, "Are you feeling unwell? I'll go with you to the hospital."
John shook his head and said awkwardly, "Dad's not unwell, it's just that there's something I want to..."
John found it really hard to say, even though he had been thinking about how to phrase it all day.
But when he saw Jessica, he couldn't bring himself to make any requests.
Louisa saw him hesitating and finally couldn't hold back, saying, "Since your dad is too embarrassed to say it, I'll say it! Jessica, tell me, how has your dad treated you? Hasn't he given everything to you since you were little? Now he's in trouble; The Evans Corporation is in trouble, shouldn't you help him?"
Jessica was startled and immediately asked, "Dad, what's wrong with The Evans Corporation? What does Grandmother mean by that?"
John looked at her deeply and said, "Jessica, Dad is really embarrassed to tell you. After all, you just got out of a marriage, and Dad doesn't want you to step into another mess. But now, The Evans Corporation is not doing well, there's a funding gap, and if we don't fill it in time, not only will the employees' salaries not be paid, but everything we have might be seized by the court."
Louisa chimed in, "Don't blame your dad. Actually, The Evans Corporation has been in crisis for months. Your dad didn't tell you because he didn't want you to worry. He's been holding on until now, but there's really no other way."
Listening to John and Louisa, Jessica stood there in a daze, unable to accept the reality for a moment.
All along, she had enjoyed John's love and care but had never helped him with the company's matters, nor had she considered the state of The Evans Corporation.
A wave of guilt washed over her, but she still didn't think about asking James for help or borrowing money from him.
Jessica asked in a low voice, "How much is the funding gap? How much more do we need?"
"Three million dollars."
When John finished, Jessica was completely shocked.
She exclaimed, "That much?"
John sighed heavily and said, "If I had any other way, I wouldn't be asking you. I'm sorry."
