Chapter 517 He Still Left (3)
The police said with difficulty, "You'd better not look. That building has eighteen floors, and we're afraid it might leave a shadow on you."
Jessica replied, "I'm a doctor, I've seen everything. I'm not afraid!"
With that, she was about to lift the white cloth.
Nathan immediately stepped forward and instinctively held Jessica.
He was afraid Jessica wouldn't be able to handle it and would collapse.
When the police lifted the sheet, revealing John's blood-covered, disfigured face.
Jessica's vision went black, and she fainted.
"Jessica!"
Nathan was startled and immediately picked her up.
He looked at the pale, heartbroken Jessica in his arms with distress, completely at a loss for what to do next.
After all, she was only in her early twenties and had just witnessed the horrific state of John's death.
Such a bloody scene would be unbearable for anyone.
Fortunately, Jessica had only fainted from extreme grief.
She soon woke up.
Nathan stayed in her room, keeping her company.
"Where's my dad? I need to find him."
Jessica, as if waking from a nightmare, stumbled out of bed and headed for the door.
Nathan rushed forward, holding her shoulders, and said, "Jessica, your dad has already been taken away by the funeral home's car. We have to accept reality now, arrange your dad's funeral, and let him rest in peace, okay?"
"No, I don't accept it!"
Jessica broke down, crying and shouting, "My dad wouldn't leave me and Grandmother alone! I don't believe it, my dad is still alive, he must be playing a joke on us!"
She could no longer distinguish between dream and reality.
Even now, she felt this must be a nightmare, a cruel joke played on her by fate.
Until the sound of mourning music from the yard below reached her ears.
Jessica rushed to the floor-to-ceiling window and saw the already set-up funeral parlor in the yard. Nathan stood beside her, softly saying, "Jessica, although I don't know what happened to your dad before this, I believe that if he chose to leave this world, it must have been because he felt extreme pain and despair. But no matter where he is, he loves you."
Jessica cried uncontrollably, sobbing, "What made him feel such extreme pain and despair? He never told me, he never said anything!"
Nathan's heart ached terribly, and he couldn't help but hold her in his arms, gently patting her back to comfort her.
The pain in his heart was no less than that of a failed surgery.
At that moment, he realized he truly cared for Jessica.
Just then, the door to Jessica's bedroom was pushed open.
Nathan immediately let go of Jessica, looking somewhat embarrassed at Louisa standing at the door.
Jessica then remembered that with John gone, besides herself, Louisa was the most heartbroken one.
So, she stepped forward, wanting to comfort each other with Louisa.
But as soon as she reached Louisa, she received a solid slap from her.
Jessica was stunned, looking at Louisa in shock.
Nathan immediately stepped forward, shielding Jessica in his arms, and said, "Mrs. Evans, what are you doing?"
Louisa pointed at her, gritting her teeth in hatred, "Your dad just died, and here you are hugging and flirting with another man! Jessica, our Evans family is truly unlucky to have someone like you bringing bad luck! The fortune teller said you were a jinx since you were a child, that you would eventually cause your dad's death! Now, it turns out he was right!"
Nathan couldn't help but defend Jessica, "What jinx? That's just superstition! Jessica's father had an accident, and she's more heartbroken than anyone. How can you say such things to her?"
