Chapter 445 Only You Would Believe His Words (3)
Jessica's face turned pale, and her heart seemed to plummet into an abyss in an instant.
Jack saw her reaction and finally achieved the effect he wanted.
He softened his tone and pretended to be gentle, saying, "Now, do you understand? James just wants to use you to gain favor with grandpa. If he truly cared about you, why would he keep Rose abroad? He never misses a prenatal checkup with her, spends a fortune on medical bills to treat her leg. And you? You're just an obedient rabbit, at his mercy!"
Jessica never expected that Rose's child was still around, and she was even more shocked that James, who treated her so well, was equally good to Rose.
She had been worried for so long, afraid that he would hate and resent her because of Rose.
Jessica laughed at herself.
So, it was all a lie!
Everything was a lie!
Why was fate always so cruel?
It gave her everything, making her think she had reached the pinnacle of happiness, only to throw her down hard, leaving her battered and bruised.
Jack thought she had come to her senses and seized the opportunity to say, "Jessica, you've already divorced him. You're free now. Return the ring to him and come to me. I can buy you a bigger ring, a better house, and give you the resources The Evans Corporation wants!"
Jessica felt like a mountain was pressing on her heart, waves of suffocation washing over her.
With red eyes, she glared at him and said, "Give up! No matter what happens between James and me, I will never be with you."
After saying that, she rubbed her red eyes and turned back to the hospital room.
But by then, the room was already crowded with doctors and nurses, and Linda and the others were there too.
Seeing the chaos in the room, Jessica was startled and rushed over to ask, "What happened?"
James pulled her over angrily and said, "You still ask what happened? Weren't you supposed to be watching grandpa? Where did you go? You didn't even know grandpa's heart stopped!"
She didn't expect that Gerald would pass away just when she stepped out for a moment.
The doctors were performing chest compressions on Gerald, but the outcome was already clear; they were just providing psychological comfort to the family.
Linda followed up with scolding, "Jessica, you're just a failure! You were supposed to watch Mr. Kelly, and you didn't even know he died. What can you do right?"
At that moment, Jack's voice came through.
He looked at James provocatively and said, "Just now, Jessica was with me. If you want to blame someone, blame me."
His words made James's temples throb with anger, veins bulging.
Linda, afraid Jack would get into trouble, quickly pulled him aside and scolded, "Jack, what nonsense are you talking about?"
James's sharp gaze shot towards him and Jessica like a knife.
Then, he grabbed Jessica's hand and dragged her outside.
"Jessica, is what he said true?"
James stared at her with a cold, fierce look and said, "Grandpa is critically ill and could die at any moment, and you're chatting with him? Tell me, what do you have to talk about with him?"
Jessica's eyes were red. The betrayal and Gerald's critical condition intertwined, and the pressure was almost too much for her to bear.
