Chapter 549 Abandoned Her at This Time (3)
Watching couples enter the courthouse, Jessica felt a pang of sadness.
She sighed softly and said to Sean, "Can you take me home, please?"
Sean finally relaxed.
Who would have guessed that he was already breaking out in a cold sweat, worried that he wouldn't be able to keep James's secret and a family feud would erupt?
The Kelly Villa.
Sean dropped Jessica off at the door and then left.
Olivia saw her return and immediately walked over.
Jessica paused slightly and asked, "Olivia, didn't we give you the day off today? Why are you still here?"
Olivia smiled warmly and said, "You and Mr. Kelly are so good to me, how could I just take a day off? Besides, there's nothing much going on back home. I thought I'd take the chance to tidy up the kids' room and air it out."
Jessica smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."
Olivia followed her and asked, "Mrs. Kelly, did you get the marriage certificate so quickly? Let me see it."
Jessica paused again, forcing a smile, "We didn't get it. Something came up at his office."
"What?"
Seeing Jessica's downcast expression, Olivia felt that James was being a bit too much.
What could be so important?
Getting a marriage certificate only takes a few minutes. Couldn't he spare that much time?
But not wanting to upset Jessica, she comforted her, "Mrs. Kelly, Mr. Kelly must have had something important come up. Don't worry, Mr. Kelly has you in his heart. Whether you get the marriage certificate today or tomorrow, it's all the same."
"Right."
Jessica's smile was strained, "Olivia, I'm a bit tired. I'm going to rest upstairs."
Watching Jessica's retreating figure, Olivia shook her head helplessly.
At the hospital.
James rushed in, signed the papers, and told the doctor, "Remember, you must save the mother!"
The doctor nodded, "Don't worry, we'll prioritize the mother. We'll also do our best to save the baby. But since the mother is giving birth two months early, you need to be prepared."
James's heart filled with worry.
Staring at the closed doors of the operating room, the guilt he had buried deep inside began to surface.
In this situation, James couldn't bring himself to leave Rose, who was giving birth to his child.
The surgery went on for hours with no end in sight.
He could only watch as bag after bag of blood was sent into the operating room.
Just then, Jessica called.
James answered in a low voice.
Jessica's cautious voice came through, "Sean said there was something at your office. Is it done now?"
James looked at the operating room doors, his brow furrowed, "Not yet."
Jessica's voice sounded disappointed, "The courthouse closes at five-thirty. So we won't be able to get the marriage certificate today, right?"
James rubbed his aching forehead, "I'm sorry, Jessica. I really can't make it today."
"Okay."
Jessica said, "It's alright. Kelly Corporation's matters are important. Take care of yourself and don't overwork."
At the villa.
Jessica stared at the darkened screen, feeling a mix of emotions.
She couldn't understand why she had become so anxious and uncertain.
