Chapter 117 Jessica Injures Diana
"Why are you here?" Seeing him, Jessica was instantly shocked and dismayed.
For whatever reason, she did not want to see him at all at this moment.
"What are you doing here?" Jessica asked again.
Gabriel rushed over and tightly embraced Jessica. Without thinking, Jessica immediately pushed him away.
However, Gabriel's grip was too tight. This time, Jessica did not hesitate; she lowered her head and bit Gabriel's arm.
This time, Jessica used all the strength she had.
Just thinking about what she had gone through yesterday, thinking about losing the baby, she was filled with unbearable hatred.
Soon, Gabriel's arm was bleeding through his white shirt. Jessica lifted her head, her eyes filled with resentment as she stared at him. "Let go of me."
Gabriel explained, "I'm sorry, Jessica. I came too late. I misunderstood you. I didn't know you really..."
"No need to explain." Jessica interrupted him without hesitation. "Gabriel, I don't want to hear any word from you right now. If you feel any guilt toward me, please let go of me and stay far away."
Gabriel whispered, "No, I can't let go of you."
Jessica lowered her head and bit down hard on Gabriel's previous wound.
This time, Jessica bit down, her whole body trembling.
As she bit, tears streamed down her face.
The mere thought of losing the baby inflicted an unbearable agony in her heart.
She knew he was in pain, but how could this pain compare to the agony of knowing the baby had left her body, disappeared from her life?
She shouted, "Gabriel, let go. Let go of me."
However, this time, no matter how hard Jessica bit, no matter how much blood flowed from Gabriel's arm, he continued to hold her tightly, unwilling to let go.
In the end, Jessica simply stopped struggling.
Fine, let him hold her if he wanted. It was just an empty shell, devoid of a soul.
Gabriel quickly noticed Jessica's change. He let go of her and called her name tenderly, over and over again. "Jessica, Jessica."
But Jessica just lay on the bed, she stared out the window blankly, hollow and soulness.
Her heart was withered, her soul gone.
Only when Vincent entered did Jessica's gaze shift from the window. She called, "Vincent."
"How are you feeling today? Is your body better?" Vincent asked, only then realizing there was another person in the room.
Gabriel, Jessica's husband, he naturally remembered.
"Much better," Jessica said with a faint smile.
Seeing her smile at someone else, Gabriel felt as if his heart was being pierced by needles, the pain unbearable.
Vincent explained, "I wanted to stay with you for a couple more days, but I just received an urgent task. I have to go and can't stay with you. I'm sorry."
Vincent was also reluctant to leave, but as a police officer, fulfilling his duties and following orders was his responsibility. No matter what, he could not disobey. Loyalty to duty was his lifelong mission.
Jessica cooed, "It's okay. I've almost recovered and will be able to get out of bed soon. Thank you, Vincent. When you come back, I'll treat you to coffee."
Vincent replied, "Alright."
As Vincent turned to leave, Jessica suddenly called out to him. "Vincent."
Jessica took a piece of candy from the table and placed it in his hand. "I hope you return safely!"
Vincent nodded. "Alright, I will."
Every time Vincent went on a mission, he would make promises to Melissa Clark and Ennifer. But this time, he had another person to promise, another person to protect.
Vincent had just stepped out when Gabriel chased after him. "Mr. Lucas, please wait."
Seeing it was Gabriel, Vincent stopped. He had a few words to say to him as well.
"I understand everything now. My wife was in a car accident, and it was Mr. Lucas who extended a helping hand to save her. Thank you," Gabriel said sincerely.
But Vincent was not pleased. "Mr. Walton, since you know Jessica is your wife, isn't it a man's basic duty to protect his own wife? Yet, Mr. Walton, while your wife was in danger, you went to save another woman you love. I can't agree with that. Although I haven't interacted much with Jessica, I can see she is just a fragile woman. Mr. Walton, you have hurt her time and again without considering her feelings. Do you know how much the car accident has hurt her? Not just physically, but psychologically as well. Not just her..."
'And the baby in her womb.' Vincent almost blurted out.
But seeing Gabriel's expression, he realized Gabriel probably didn't know about Jessica's pregnancy or the loss of the baby.
Since Jessica hadn't told him, she must have her reasons.
So, he chose to respect Jessica's wishes and kept silent.
In the hospital room, just after Gabriel left, Diana arrived.
"Get out." The moment she saw her, Jessica didn't waste any words and directly ordered her to leave.
Diana was now like an annoying fly; just seeing her made Jessica furious.
"Why so angry? I heard you just had a car accident and are resting. You shouldn't get too worked up!" Diana said with a happy smile.
"I'll say it again, get out, get out right now." Jessica was agitated, and because she shouted so loudly, her wound quickly tore open, and a sharp pain shot through her lower abdomen.
Diana scoffed, "I know you're upset and very sad right now, but Jessica, you shouldn't get angry. If you accidentally start bleeding heavily again, that would be terrible."
She even knew about her heavy bleeding. It seemed she had gone to great lengths to monitor her.
Diana continued, "Jessica, if I were you, I would have divorced long ago. Why hold on to Gabriel? Take a look for yourself. I was abducted, and you were in a car accident, yet he chose to save me He would rather let you die to save me. Isn't our place in his heart clear enough? Jessica, let go. If you are willing to divorce, I can make Gabriel give you more of the family assets."
Diana's words truly enraged Jessica.
No matter how low she had fallen, she would not allow a mistress to openly provoke her.
Gritting her teeth, Jessica got up from the bed. She grabbed a fruit knife and rushed at Diana without thinking, pressing the sharp blade against Diana's chest, her voice seething with anger. "Get out, get out right now."
Diana was also terrified, her face turning pale. She trembled, her voice shaking. "Okay, I'll go. Jessica, don't go crazy. Calm down."
However, at that moment, she suddenly heard familiar footsteps.
In that instant, Diana changed her mind. Without thinking, she grabbed Jessica's hand and forcefully pushed the knife into her own chest, then let go of her hand.
In an instant, the knife in Jessica's hand plunged into Diana's chest, blood gushing out wildly.
When Gabriel pushed the door open, this was the scene he saw.
