Chapter 535 Be Gentle (1)
"You're still the most considerate, my Pearl."
Louisa felt a deep sense of relief.
Although John had died, Pearl had returned.
This was perhaps heaven's way of compensating her!
That night, the Evans family home was brightly lit. Louisa held onto Joan and her daughter, constantly asking how they had been during this time.
She felt both heartache for their experiences and anger at Jessica for tearing the Evans family apart.
Meanwhile, Jessica slept soundly in James's arms.
In her dreams, she seemed to see her parents and Gerald again.
She told them that she was very happy now, that she could finally give her baby home, and that she no longer had to restrain her feelings, being able to stay with the one she loved.
The next day, Jessica went to work at the hospital as usual.
However, Nathan was not in the department.
It was said that he had taken a few days off.
Jessica thought it was probably because he got hurt in the fight with James yesterday and didn't want to come to work with injuries on his face.
Jessica was extremely upset and felt anxious all morning.
Until noon, when the on-duty doctor suddenly came over and said, "Jessica, a critical patient just arrived and needs immediate surgery. Professor Howard wants you in the operating room."
Jessica's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Professor Howard is here?"
"Yes, he had taken leave, but only Professor Howard is confident enough to handle this patient's surgery, so he rushed over from home."
After saying this, the doctor looked at Jessica approvingly and said, "You're still in the internship stage, and Professor Howard is already letting you be his assistant. Your future is limitless."
Jessica smiled a little embarrassedly and hurried to the surgery.
Right now, she just wanted to see Nathan quickly and clear up yesterday's misunderstanding.
An intense surgery proceeded exceptionally smoothly under Nathan's calm and composed command.
During the surgery, although Jessica was just one of the many assistants, she didn't dare to lose focus for a moment.
It wasn't until the surgery was over that her tense nerves finally relaxed.
Seeing Nathan heading to the changing room to change clothes, Jessica quickly followed and called out to him, "Mr. Howard."
Nathan turned around, his deep eyes looking at her, seemingly waiting for her to speak.
He was still wearing his hat and mask, so Jessica couldn't see his face at all.
After hesitating for a moment, Jessica awkwardly said, "About yesterday, I apologize on his behalf. Are you badly hurt?"
"You?"
Nathan's eyes showed a hint of displeasure as he said, "What right do you have to apologize to him? You two are already divorced. In what capacity are you apologizing tohim now?"
Jessica looked at him in surprise.
After all, Nathan had never spoken to her so aggressively before.
So much so that Jessica didn't know how to respond.
She apologized, "Mr. Howard, I'm sorry I hid my pregnancy. But I really want to study well and learn some real skills from you. I didn't mean to deceive you, please forgive me."
Nathan just looked at her and said, "So, are you planning to continue entangling with someone like James, having his child, and being controlled by him? Jessica, wake up. Look at the girls around you. How many of them are getting married and having children at your age, being troubled by love every day? Everyone chooses to strive at your age, but what are you doing?"
Jessica silently lowered her head and said softly, "I know, I'm really unambitious like this."
But what could she do?
She was like a moth to a flame. As long as James gave her a bit of light, she would fly towards him without hesitation.
