Chapter 399 Jessica Goes to Meet Gabriel
The two walked out shoulder to shoulder.
However, just as Jessica was about to step out, Vincent suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
Vincent's voice was exceptionally low and gentle, "Jessica, wait!"
"What is it?"
Vincent looked up at her, his eyes slightly red.
After hesitating for a moment, he mustered the courage to speak, "This might be the last time. From now on, you will be truly and completely Mrs. Walton, entirely belonging to him."
"So, before you leave, can I hug you one last time?"
These words were not just a request but also carried a hint of humility.
Jessica listened, feeling a pang in her heart.
"Okay!" She nodded.
The next moment, Vincent had already pulled her into his arms.
He inhaled her scent.
He listened to her breathing and heartbeat.
His heart felt so at peace.
Of course, there was also indescribable happiness and joy.
But this happiness was too fleeting.
"Vincent, meeting you as a friend has been my great fortune."
"I've always said that the girl who marries you will be very happy. Please believe me, you will find your true love."
Vincent nodded. "Thanks for your kind words!"
After speaking, he savored the last bit of tenderness, then let go of Jessica.
"The road ahead is long. I hope you and Gabriel can grow old together, and be forever happy."
This was his blessing.
And also his wish.
When Jessica got into the car to go to the hospital, her heart was filled with excitement and anticipation.
Just thinking about seeing Gabriel soon made her heart race uncontrollably.
Thinking back, from the time Diana took her away until today, it had been almost a month since she last saw Gabriel.
Reunions after a long separation are always filled with longing.
As her steps got closer to the hospital room, her heart grew more anxious.
For some reason, she even felt a bit scared.
Gabriel thought she had left this world.
So, when he saw her again, would he be shocked? Or happy?
Turning the corner into the hallway, Vincent pointed to the room ahead. "He's in that room. Go see him, he'll be very happy to see you."
"Okay!"
Jessica was getting closer and closer.
When she stopped at the door of the hospital room, Jessica's heart started pounding wildly.
Reaching out, she was about to push open the door.
However, when she saw the scene through the window, Jessica felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
Inside the room, Gabriel was holding a woman.
Even though it was just a side profile, she could see clearly that it was Gabriel, she would never mistake him.
As for the woman, because she was mostly blocked, Jessica couldn't see her clearly.
But it was obvious that the woman was neither her mother-in-law Danielle nor Chelsea.
Even though she saw it with her own eyes, Jessica couldn't believe it.
She couldn't believe Gabriel would suddenly be so intimate with another woman.
When he found out she was going to have babies, even under Diana's threats with a gun pointed at him, he still wanted to be with her, when she and the baby left, he was so heartbroken, utterly devastated.
A man who loved her so deeply, she couldn't believe he would fall for another woman so quickly.
There must be a reason.
This time, Jessica kept reminding herself to stay rational and calm.
She couldn't misunderstand him.
But just as she was desperately trying to convince herself, she saw the woman suddenly cup Gabriel's face, looking at him with deep affection and reluctance, gently caressing him.
And Gabriel just sat quietly on the bed, neither rejecting nor pushing her away.
The next moment, the woman hugged his waist, making him half-lean on the bed.
Then, the woman leaned her soft body against him.
Even standing outside, Jessica could feel the harmony and sweetness inside through the glass.
Seeing this scene, how could she go in and interrupt?
Her raised hand gradually lowered.
Jessica immediately turned around, not daring to look inside anymore.
Her heart ached, and she could hardly breathe, she clutched her chest and ran away frantically.
In the bathroom, she splashed cold water on her face several times until her whole face and heart felt cold.
Only then did she force herself to think calmly.
Calm, she must stay calm.
During this time, she and Gabriel had already had many misunderstandings.
So, she didn't want to jump to conclusions based on one scene.
Moreover, even the eyes could lie.
So, she had to find out for herself.
Jessica turned around, ready to head back to the room.
At that moment, her phone rang. The nanny said one of her babies suddenly started crying uncontrollably, no matter how they tried to soothe him.
Moreover, the baby's skin was turning yellow, his whole body was twitching, and he even showed signs of convulsions. The nanny suspected it was severe jaundice.
The baby needed to be taken to the hospital immediately.
Jessica listened, very worried.
Her heart was filled with tension and fear.
After hanging up, she immediately headed out. At that moment, Vincent's call came in, "Jessica, where are you? The nanny just called and said the baby isn't doing well. We need to take him to the hospital right away."
"I got the call too. Meet me at the parking lot, I'm on my way."
After speaking, Jessica didn't care about anything else and ran frantically to the parking lot.
She ran so fast that when she got in the car, she was still panting.
Vincent immediately comforted her, "Jessica, don't worry too much. I've already asked Ennifer to drive the baby to the nearest private hospital. He'll get treatment as soon as we arrive. We'll be there in just a few minutes."
"Okay."
In just a few minutes, Vincent sped to the hospital.
Getting out of the car, Jessica rushed inside frantically.
Seeing the baby, as a mother, she couldn't hold back her tears.
In just a couple of hours, the baby seemed like a different person, looking very lethargic, with drooping ears and tightly closed eyes.
The lively, active, and smiling baby now had no energy at all, completely different from usual. Holding him, Jessica's heart ached terribly.
"Baby, Mommy's here. I'm sorry, Mommy shouldn't have left you."
"Baby, can you hear Mommy's voice?"
"Don't be afraid, Mommy is holding you."
Jessica's words had some effect.
Hearing her voice, the baby opened his eyes slightly.
But he quickly closed them again.
Next, Jessica held the baby through a series of tests. The baby remained quietly in her arms, unusually well-behaved.
But Jessica knew this behavior was due to illness because he was feeling unwell.
So, her heart ached even more.
The good thing about private hospitals is that as long as you're willing to pay and have the right connections, results can come out very quickly.
At that moment, Jessica heard Ennifer outside on the phone, her tone strong and serious. "I won't say more. I have only one request: get the baby's test results out as quickly as possible."
So, the baby's results came out quickly.
As the nanny suspected, it was indeed severe jaundice.
The baby needed to be hospitalized for phototherapy.
Knowing the treatment plan, Jessica breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the doctor suddenly looked at Jessica and gently said, "Ms. Morgan, based on our recent tests, it seems the baby might have some heart issues. We recommend further examination."
