Chapter 525 Returning Your Child to You (3)
Jessica was left speechless by him.
She really had been blinded by anger just now.
This little life that had been growing inside her for three months was the one she was most reluctant to part with. How could she possibly harm him?
Besides, there was no way she wouldn't attend John's funeral.
So, she had no choice but to agree, "Fine, I promise you. I'll agree with whatever you say! Anyway, you have someone watching me now. Even if I wanted to harm this child, someone would report it to you, right?"
Only then did James relent.
He knew that John's sudden death had dealt her a devastating blow, and he didn't want to coerce her like this.
But as long as he thought about her wanting to leave him with the child, he could only resort to this method.
Even if she hated him, resented him, as long as she was still by his side, that was enough.
John's funeral was Jessica's last chance to say goodbye to John.
Louisa cried uncontrollably the entire way.
In contrast, Jessica was very quiet.
She didn't shed a tear, her eyes were tired and dull, like a doll without emotions.
James sat beside her, holding her, and said, "If you want to cry, just cry. It's not good to hold it in."
Jessica didn't respond; she remained silent, her quietness was alarming.
Even after John's burial was over, Jessica didn't shed a tear.
Seeing her like this, Louisa angrily accused, "You are heartless! Not a single tear! Your father raised you for nothing!"
James scolded, "Shut up!"
Louisa nodded and said, "From today on, the Evans family has nothing to do with you anymore! We are parting ways!"
After saying that, she let the maid help her into the car.
Jessica numbly walked to her car, feeling as if there was a big hole in her heart, with a cold wind blowing through it.
She couldn't cry. It seemed like she had already cried all her tears in the past few days.
All her joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness seemed to have gone with John!
What was left in this world was just a shell, just her lonely self.
After returning home, Jessica ate a little and then said, "I'm tired, I want to sleep for a while."
James said worriedly, "Jessica, you can't keep going on like this. The doctor said yesterday that you are already showing signs of malnutrition. If this continues, it will affect the baby."
After saying that, he had Olivia bring up some nourishing soup and said, "Have some more."
Jessica numbly shook her head, like a doll that had lost its soul, "I can't eat."
James frowned deeply.
Looking at Jessica in front of him, all his helplessness was especially clear at this moment.
In just a few days, she had lost so much weight.
And now, her mental state was not right. If this continued, not only would the baby be in trouble, but she would be in trouble too.
James panicked. He held her in his arms and said softly, "Jessica, I beg you, don't be like this. Pull yourself together, okay? If not for the baby, then for yourself, okay? I think your father wouldn't want to see you like this after his death."
Jessica finally spoke, her voice tinged with tears, "But I'm so tired. What should I do? My mom is dead, my dad is dead, I'm an orphan now!"
James pressed her head against his chest, stroking her hair over and over, and said, "Maybe your father made this choice so you could live better in this world?"
