Chapter 395 Jessica Knows the Whole Truth
"What is it?"
However, before Jessica could ask further, Vincent had already pulled her to the first floor.
Seeing his extreme urgency, Jessica tried to speak, "Wait, Vincent, can you tell me what is going on? And the two babies are still upstairs. If I leave now, what will happen to them?"
"I've already told a few maids to go up and take care of the babies. You need to come with me to the hospital right now. Time is critical, I'll explain in the car."
Vincent had already opened the door.
Seeing his urgency, Jessica didn't dare to delay and immediately followed him.
But noticing she was still in her pajamas, she grabbed a coat from the doorway.
However, since all the clothes there were Vincent's, she had no choice.
In the car, Jessica sat in the passenger seat, and Vincent immediately started the engine.
With a press of the gas pedal, the car quickly disappeared into the night.
With both hands on the steering wheel, Vincent took a deep breath, and finally spoke seriously, "Jessica, I hope you listen carefully to everything I'm about to say."
Realizing his seriousness, Jessica also became serious, "Okay, I'm listening."
"Alright." nodding, Vincent continued. "When you were about to give birth and had a car accident, Gabriel didn't marry Diana. It was all a charade, completely fake. He was just buying time to save you. Knowing you were about to give birth, he always wanted to be with you. He didn't do it on purpose, he had reasons."
"What reasons?"
"He was shot."
In the quiet car, when Vincent said this, Jessica's heart skipped a beat.
Gabriel was shot? How could he be shot?
"What exactly happened? Tell me quickly!" Jessica anxiously pressed.
"I just said, Gabriel never intended to marry Diana. It was just to buy time to find you. During the wedding, he got a call from Oscar, knowing they had found you and that you were bleeding and showing signs of premature labor, he immediately left Diana to find you. However, no one expected Diana to have a gun"
"She wouldn't let Gabriel see you, threatening him to stay and complete the wedding. Gabriel insisted on leaving the hotel to see you. Just as he was about to leave, Diana shot him, the bullet very close to his heart."
These words sounded like a dream.
Too dramatic, too tumultuous.
If they hadn't come from Vincent's mouth but from anyone else, Jessica would have doubted if it was all a lie.
Gabriel was shot! And the wound was near his heart!
Just thinking about these words made Jessica's heartache.
If she had known he was shot, she would have forgiven him.
Not just her, even the two babies would have forgiven their dad.
"At the wedding, Diana had invited major media outlets to livestream. But after the shooting, all videos were deleted. I had someone recover them. If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself."
Jessica reached out, trembling, to take the phone from Vincent's hand.
Because it was a major media livestream, the video quality was very good.
In the video, Diana was holding a gun, pointing it at Gabriel's heart.
"Gabriel, I order you, you can't leave, or I'll kill you."
"Jessica is in premature labor. No matter what happens today, I must be with her. Diana, you can't stop me."
Diana screamed in desperation, "Gabriel, I'm giving you one last chance, stop!"
"Or I'll shoot. I really will."
Suddenly, the gun fired, and the bullet from Diana's gunshot straight into Gabriel's body.
Instantly, he was covered in blood.
Blood flowed from his chest, quickly forming a pool beneath him.
Seeing this, Jessica's heart felt like it stopped.
She almost didn't dare to breathe.
Through the screen, she reached out, frantically wiping the blood from Gabriel's body, trembling as she cried, "No, Gabriel, you'll be okay, you must be okay."
The live stream abruptly ended.
Jessica immediately turned to Vincent. "So all these days, he's been in the hospital, still unconscious, not out of danger, right?"
After asking, Jessica almost didn't dare to hear the answer.
"He was taken to the hospital for surgery immediately. The surgery was successful, but upon hearing that you and the babies were gone, he was heartbroken, he didn't rest and went to find you with anesthesia still in him."
"Later, he stayed with you in the hospital for two days, then at the funeral home for seven days and nights until today's burial."
"During this time, he was like a walking corpse, not eating or drinking, no one could pull him away. Until the burial was over, he engraved the words on the tombstone, fulfilling all his wishes, and then collapsed."
"His wound, although cared for and bandaged, didn't get proper disinfection, so it healed poorly. Plus, without eating, his condition was very bad. Until today, he was in the rain for hours, and after a high fever, his wound got infected."
"The situation is very serious. He's been in the emergency room for hours now and hasn't come out yet."
After saying this, Vincent felt a real sense of relief.
"I'm sorry, Jessica, I was being selfish. I shouldn't have kept this from you. I should have told you everything from the start."
However, there was no response.
Turning his head, he found Jessica beside him already in tears.
Jessica's whole body was trembling, especially her hands, almost uncontrollably, her voice hoarse to the point of barely making a sound.
Her heart hurt, hurt so much.
"I'm sorry, Gabriel, I didn't know you endured so much."
If she had known he was shot, she would never have faked her death and left with the babies.
The car was still speeding down the road.
But Jessica's heart was already on the verge of collapse.
"Vincent, please, drive faster. I need to see him, I need to see him right now."
Jessica anxiously pleaded.
"Jessica, don't worry, two more minutes, we'll be there soon."
"Okay, you're right, calm down, I need to stay calm."
Two minutes later, when the car reached the hospital parking lot, it hadn't even come to a complete stop.
Jessica couldn't wait any longer, unbuckling her seatbelt and rushing into the hospital.
