Chapter 121 Gabriel, Let's Get Divorced
However, the ward was already empty, and no one answered her.
"Jessica, Jessica." He called out a few more times, but there was no response.
Gabriel panicked. He ran frantically to the front desk, holding the flowers. "Hello, where is the patient in room 306?"
The nurse at the front desk checked the records and said, "Mr. Walton, are you referring to Jessica Morgan?"
Gabriel nodded. "Yes, that's her. Where did she go?"
The nurse replied, "Jessica checked out early this morning and has already left."
"Say again?" Gabriel could hardly believe his ears.
These days, he had been coming to sit with Jessica every day. In the first couple of days, she was quite stubborn and was cold and indifferent toward him. But in the following days, she had changed a lot.
She no longer refused the things he prepared for her. When he spoke to her, she would respond.
Even on the last day, the smile on her face gradually increased.
These changes had made him let his guard down as he thought she was slowly recovering.
But now it seemed she had never gotten over that hurdle in her heart. All the changes, all the behaviors, had been fake. They merely a disguise to make him lower his guard.
Gabriel took out his phone and immediately called Oscar. "Search the entire city for Jessica right away."
Oscar answered, "Gabriel, I'll get on it immediately."
The Walton Group was very efficient. Ten minutes later, Oscar had news. "Mr. Walton, Mrs. Walton has booked a room at a hotel. I'll send you the location right away."
With the location in hand, Gabriel rushed over frantically.
Fifteen minutes later, he rang the doorbell.
When he saw Jessica's familiar face, he grabbed her wrist excitedly. "Why did you leave by yourself?"
Jessica said, "I was supposed to be discharged today. I had to make room for other patients in need."
Jessica appeared exceptionally calm, compared to how anxious Gabriel was.
Moreover, she seemed very calm that Gabriel had found her so quickly. She didn't seem the least bit surprised.
Yes, for the prestigious Walton Family, finding someone in a hotel was a piece of cake. She had known Gabriel would find her soon. She hadn't planned to escape; on the contrary, she had been waiting for him here.
"I said I would come to pick you up. Why didn't you wait for me?" Gabriel softened his voice, realizing his tone was a bit high.
Jessica said with a bitter smile, "Really? Well, thank you for your kindness, Mr. Walton. But I can no longer tell if what you say is true or false."
"Jessica, everything I said to you is true," Gabriel said excitedly.
Jessica looked up and gently pushed away his hand from her wrist. "Is it? Maybe. But if there was something wrong with Diana, if she felt unwell or got hurt, you would leave to see her at any time. It was just a discharge procedure, it was very simple. I could handle it myself; there was no need to wait for you."
Besides, she didn't want to trouble him at all now.
"Jessica, you're still angry, aren't you?" Gabriel asked cautiously.
"Mr. Walton, you must be joking. What right do I have to be angry? I'm not angry," Jessica mocked.
She was just disheartened and unwilling to deceive and numb herself by giving him chances again and again.
Gabriel explained, "I'm sorry, Jessica. I didn't know the car accident was real. I didn't know you were in so much danger. If I had known..."
Jessica interrupted him. "There's no need to say any more. Since it has already happened, it would be meaningless to say any more. Gabriel, we are both adults and should learn to take responsibility for our decisions. Since you chose her without hesitation back then, you shouldn't apologize to me. In this world, there is no turning back. Since we can't dwell on our regrets, the best we can do is stop this mistake from continuing and cut our losses."
After speaking, Jessica bent down, took out a document, and threw it on the table, her expression cold. "So, we should let each other go and part ways amicably."
Gabriel was all too familiar with the items on the table.
At first, He had drafted it himself.
In just a few short months, their relationship had undergone a drastic change. This time, she was the one who had drafted the divorce agreement, and she was the one who was proposing the divorce.
Gabriel bent down. His trembling hand picked up the document from the table.
His hand was shaking, almost unable to hold it steady.
Although he had already guessed what the document was, he still harbored a sliver of hope until he saw those words with his own eyes.
However, when the words "Divorce Agreement" appeared before him, his hand shook violently, and his heart seemed to crack open, causing intense pain.
Why did it hurt so much? Why was it so unbearable?
It was so much more unbearable than he had imagined.
A divorce agreement?
They had clearly agreed to go through life together.
How had it come to this?
Why?
They had promised to be with each other for a lifetime.
"Have you really decided this?" He looked at Jessica, struggling to get the words out.
"Yes." Jessica nodded.
Gabriel was distressed and in sorrow, but Jessica seemed relaxed and not sad at all.
"Turn to the back page. I've already signed it. It's just waiting for your signature. Once you sign, the agreement will take effect immediately. You'll be free, and no longer troubled by me."
"When I married into the Walton Family, I had no money, and I didn't I bring anything valuable with me, just some of my clothes. During the two years I was married into the Walton Family, I don't think I created any economic value for the Walton Family. So rest assured, I won't take any of the Walton Family's assets, your money, or your property."
Jessica thought that Gabriel would be happy if she said that. And in his happiness, he might quickly sign the document.
But after she finished speaking, Gabriel's face became extremely grim, growing colder and colder.
Gabriel looked at her, his voice icy, almost hissing through his teeth. "Jessica, do you really want to sever all ties with me?"
Jessica replied, "Isn't that what you want? I'm fulfilling your wish."
Gabriel quickly flipped through the divorce agreement, his chest filled with rage. He felt like a roaring lion. When he reached the signature page, he picked up the pen and flamboyantly signed his name.
A pang of pain flashed through Jessica's heart as she saw him sign the document so decisively without a trace of hesitation.
But soon she reached out her hand to take the signed divorce agreement.
However, as she reached out, Gabriel suddenly tore the divorce agreement into pieces and threw the fragments on the ground.
Gabriel's sharp eyes fixed on her through the fluttering paper fragments. "Jessica, I will never divorce you!"
