Chapter 401 Jessica Left with the Baby
Jessica told Vincent about her decision and asked him to help her understand the situation abroad.
In terms of strength and connections, she couldn't compare to the Lucas Family on her own.
If Vincent was willing to help her, for the sake of the baby, she would shamelessly beg him.
As long as the baby was well, she would give everything.
"Jessica, why didn't you..."
Before hanging up, Vincent almost asked the question.
He wanted to ask her why she came to him instead of Gabriel and the Walton family.
However, since Jessica didn't bring it up, he chose not to ask.
Vincent quickly used the influence of the Lucas Family to find a team of authoritative professors abroad and made all the necessary contacts.
Upon hearing the news, Jessica, who hadn't even completed her postpartum recovery, packed her bags and flew abroad with the two babies.
The sky was overcast that day, but it didn't rain.
The plane soared into the clouds, and above the clouds, Jessica held the babies.
At such a height, it was impossible to see Gabriel.
"Goodbye, Gabriel," Jessica murmured to the window.
Regarding the future, she suddenly didn't dare to think about anything.
The baby's illness seemed to have pressed the pause button on everything.
Her current wish was simple: to cure the baby and let him grow up healthy and happy.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Gabriel's condition had taken a significant turn for the better.
The doctor said the surgery was very successful, the wound was healing well, and he could be discharged tomorrow.
Hearing this, everyone instantly smiled and cheered with joy.
After waiting for so long, Gabriel could finally be discharged.
"That's great, Gabriel. This ordeal was tough, but luckily you made it through. I'm so happy for you," Danielle said, hugging Gabriel.
Thinking about the many painful and difficult days, especially when he was in the operating room and ICU, she had almost cried herself to sleep.
Fortunately, it was all in the past now.
Her son was strong and had made it through.
Perhaps because she was too happy, Danielle started crying.
Gabriel immediately reached out to wipe the tears from her face and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, Mom. During this time, you worried the most. Because of me, you seem to have aged a lot overnight."
"It's my fault as a son. Not only did I not show you filial piety, but I also made you work hard for me."
Danielle shook her head and said with relief, "As a mother, my wish is simple: I just hope my child is safe and healthy. There's no such thing as hard work. It's because of you that I have the chance to be a mother."
"All mothers are like this, wholeheartedly for their children. I'm no exception."
As Danielle spoke, she became a bit emotional.
At this moment, Jonah timely put his arm around her shoulder and looked at Gabriel. "Since you know you've made us worry, you must take good care of yourself in the future. Don't make her worry about you anymore. Her body is not as good as it used to be when she was young."
"I understand."
This time, Gabriel didn't argue but agreed readily.
"It's good that you're recovering. These days, your mother hasn't had a good night's sleep or a proper meal to take care of you. Now that you're finally awake, I'll take her back to rest well."
"And..." Jonah's gaze fell on Riley beside him. "You and Gabriel must have a lot to talk about."
"Mom and Dad, be safe on the way!" Riley immediately smiled at Jonah and Danielle.
She thoughtfully escorted them to the door of the ward.
Returning to the ward, Riley gently closed the door.
Her eyes fell on Gabriel in the hospital bed, and she happily ran over, saying excitedly, "Gabriel, you're finally recovering!"
"Do you know how worried I've been these days? I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have left you alone. Now that you're recovering, let's cherish each other and live a happy life together."
"When you're discharged, let's have our wedding, okay? I can't wait to be your wife. I don't want to miss a single day."
Riley said, looking at Gabriel with deep affection.
At the same time, she leaned over, wanting to hug Gabriel and nestle happily in his arms.
However, just as Riley was about to lean in, Gabriel moved slightly to the side, and Riley missed her target.
She immediately pouted and looked at Gabriel coquettishly. "Gabriel, what's wrong?"
Although still sitting on the bed, Gabriel's eyes were unusually sharp as he looked at Riley, as if he could see through all the lies.
His voice was cold, almost devoid of any warmth. "Stop pretending. You're not my Jessica at all."
"What?"
Hearing this, Riley's heart skipped a beat.
But thinking of her appearance, she instantly regained her confidence.
Hiding her inner panic, she smiled and said gently, "Gabriel, what are you talking about? I don't understand. I am Jessica. What's wrong with you? Should I call the doctor to check on you again? We can delay the discharge for a few days."
However, Gabriel's eyes had already seen through everything. He wouldn't be fooled by a few words.
Reaching out, he grabbed Riley's wrist. "Don't think that just because you look a lot like Jessica and have made some disguises, you can deceive me."
"Appearance can indeed be disguised as well as voice. But there's one thing: Jessica's habits and personality, you can never imitate."
"A few days ago, I was still in a coma, my mind was unclear, my vision was blurry, and I missed Jessica too much, so I mistook you for her. But now, I'm awake and clear-headed. You just have a face that looks too much like Jessica's."
"As for personality and habits, no matter how hard you try to imitate, you're far off, and I easily saw through it."
Gabriel's words were sharp and to the point.
Riley couldn't keep pretending even if she wanted to.
"I advise you to think carefully. If you tell the truth now, I can let you go. If I have to find out myself, things can be ugly," Gabriel threatened.
Riley knew she had lost all her leverage and immediately knelt on the ground, trembling.
At the same time, she confessed everything.
"Mr. Walton, my name is Riley. I'm the one you paid to help clear your wife's name. It was your mother who found me."
