Chapter 391 Watching Over Jessica for Seven Days and Nights
However, Vincent reacted extremely quickly and covered it up.
So fast that even Gabriel didn't notice a thing.
"Do you have a dress in mind?" Vincent asked, regaining his composure.
Gabriel nodded. "Yes, it will be delivered soon."
Just as he finished speaking, Oscar knocked on the door and walked in with an exquisite bag.
Oscar then handed it to Gabriel. "Mr. Walton, as you requested."
Opening the package, Gabriel saw the red dress and then looked at "Jessica" lying on the bed. He finally nodded.
With this dress, he believed his Jessica would look gorgeous.
Holding the dress, Gabriel walked towards "Jessica."
He had already lifted most of the white sheet, clearly intending to put the red dress on "Jessica."
Seeing this, Vincent's heart pounded wildly.
He was extremely flustered and nervous.
But the more critical the moment, the more he needed to stay calm, not lose his composure and reveal any flaws.
"Wait a minute," Vincent said calmly.
Then he walked towards Gabriel and said with a choked voice, "You should know, Jessica had a C-section."
"After a C-section, there would be a long scar on her belly. If Jessica were awake, I think she wouldn't want you to see that scar."
"She loves you, so she only wants to show you her most beautiful and best side. So I think it's more appropriate to let her change into this dress."
Vincent's finger pointed at the makeup artist standing to the side.
After thinking for a while, Gabriel finally handed the red dress to the makeup artist.
Gabriel also instructed, "Please, this is her size. Make sure she looks beautiful."
The makeup artist respectfully took the red dress with both hands. "Mr. Walton, don't worry. This is my profession, and I will make sure you are satisfied."
About ten minutes later.
"Jessica" lay quietly on the bed, now wearing the red dress.
The difference was that with makeup and the red dress, she looked extremely beautiful lying there.
Her complexion was rosy, with a healthy glow.
She looked like she was just sleeping, like a sleeping beauty.
But the truth was so cruel: she was not breathing.
"Very beautiful, thank you!"
Looking at "Jessica," Gabriel was particularly amazed and satisfied.
"As long as you are satisfied, Mr. Walton, please accept my condolences!"
Then, everyone left the room.
Except for "Jessica," only Gabriel and Vincent were left inside.
"Everything is ready. The funeral home staff is waiting downstairs. It's time to go," Vincent said.
Gabriel knew all this, but he couldn't bear it!
His Jessica was about to leave him, how could he bear it?
"I know."
"Ten minutes, give me ten more minutes. I promise to send her over then."
This time, Vincent did not refuse.
"Okay, I'll wait for you outside."
After saying that, he stepped out of the room.
Gabriel needed space to be alone, and Vincent understood.
In the room, only Gabriel and "Jessica" were left.
"Jessica, don't be afraid. When you go there, I will accompany you."
"I know you're afraid of the dark. Don't worry, I'll have all the lights kept on."
As Gabriel spoke, his tears fell.
One drop, two drops, all fell on "Jessica's" face.
At this moment, he wished so much that Jessica could open her eyes, hold his face with a look of concern, and ask, "Gabriel, why are you crying?"
Then he would immediately wipe away all his tears and say with a smile, "I'm not crying!"
But he waited and waited, He never saw her get up.
She just slept there forever.
And Gabriel, greedily and madly, looked at her, wanting to imprint everything about her deeply in his mind.
For the rest of his life, he hoped he wouldn't need photos to remember her face.
He hoped that whenever he thought of her, her image would appear in his mind.
So he had to remember her seriously and firmly!
Ten minutes later, Vincent was about to knock on the door.
Suddenly, the door opened from the inside.
This time, Gabriel was very punctual.
Soon, "Jessica" was taken to the funeral home and placed in a coffin, with everything arranged inside.
White wreaths, one layer after another.
Gabriel didn't go anywhere, he just stayed by "Jessica's" coffin.
According to the rules, after being placed in the funeral home for two or three days, she would be buried.
However, Gabriel insisted on staying with "Jessica".
For seven days and seven nights, he didn't close his eyes for a single day.
Danielle, feeling sorry for him, cried as she held Gabriel in her arms, "Gabriel, your body is very weak now, and your wound is infected. Can you eat something and sleep for a while?"
But Gabriel looked at her calmly and said, "Mom, it's not that I don't want to sleep, but I just can't."
"You've been up for several days; how can you not sleep?"
Danielle touched his gaunt face and then looked at "Jessica's" coffin, equally overwhelmed with grief.
They were supposed to be a happy family, a loving couple, and their babies were about to be born.
How did it end up such a tragedy?
"God, if our Walton family has done anything wrong that we deserve retribution, let it fall on me. Why must you make my son, daughter-in-law, and unborn grandchildren suffer?"
Danielle eventually collapsed in the funeral home and was taken to the hospital.
During this time, Chelsea took care of her.
On the seventh day of Gabriel watching over "Jessica," Chelsea came with a sumptuous lunch.
"Gabriel, eat something. Your body can't take it anymore. If you keep this up, you'll die."
"How's Mom?" Gabriel asked.
"Mom is much better. Don't worry, I stay with her at the hospital every day, and she's recovering well."
"Good!" Gabriel nodded, then looked at Chelsea. "Take it away. Until the seven days are over, I won't eat."
"Rest assured, I won't collapse before Jessica is buried."
Seeing his determination, Chelsea knew it was impossible for her to persuade him.
In the end, Chelsea left with eyes full of pain.
Seven days later, it was the day "Jessica" was to be buried.
That day, the sky, which had been sunny, suddenly started to drizzle.
