Chapter 444 The Best Love I Can Give You Is Letting Go
At that moment, Vincent couldn't describe what he was feeling.
Although he had anticipated this moment many times in his mind, he knew that from the moment Gilbert returned to the country and found Gabriel, the ending was already set.
However, expecting it was one thing, hearing Jessica tell him in person was another.
Trying hard to control his expression, Vincent forced a slightly pale smile.
"Jessica, congratulations to you both. I wish you a lifetime of happiness together."
"Thank you, Vincent!"
"When you have the wedding, make sure to send me an invitation. No matter how busy I am, I'll be there."
Because he wanted to see with his own eyes how beautiful the person he loved would look in a wedding dress.
"Okay." Jessica nodded firmly.
The conversation reached this point, and the atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward.
At this moment, Vincent's phone rang.
"Alright, I'll be there right away."
After hanging up, he looked at Jessica, "Sorry, I have a task to attend to. I'll find someone to take you, Gilbert, and Freddy home."
"Vincent, there's no need for that. Our driver is in the parking lot. I'll call him to come up."
"Alright then, be safe on your way home. Text me when you get there."
"Okay!" Jessica nodded.
Soon, Vincent walked away with a confident stride.
Watching his figure, Jessica felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
"Vincent." She stood up and chased after him.
Vincent stopped but didn't turn around because he didn't want her to see the loneliness on his face.
"Have you dated anyone over the years?"
"No."
"I'm sorry, is it because of me? If it is, I hope you can..."
Before Jessica could finish, Vincent immediately said, "No, I just haven't met the right girl yet. Don't overthink it. When you told me five years ago that we would only ever be friends, I gave up."
"Alright, if that's the case, I'm relieved. If you ever find someone you like, you must introduce her to me."
"Sure, I will."
Kathleen responded quickly and was very happy about Jessica's return.
Two days later, Jessica reported to the hospital.
After reporting in, she went upstairs to see Kathleen.
Then, she returned to her department.
There weren't many personnel changes at the hospital, so aside from a few new colleagues, most were the same as before.
Everyone was very happy to see her return.
Since it was her first day back, Jessica brought a lot of gifts and fruit for everyone.
After greeting everyone, Jessica went to the break room to change clothes.
Just as she finished putting on her white coat, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Tina stood in front of her, tears streaming down her face.
"Jessica, is it you?" Tina looked at her in disbelief.
Feeling deeply guilty, Jessica reached out and hugged Tina, "I'm sorry, Tina, for keeping this from you for so long. I once thought I would never come back."
Tina and Jessica hugged for a long time.
Suddenly, Tina pushed Jessica away, "You let me down. How could you keep something so important from me? Do you know how heartbroken I was? I felt so guilty!"
"I'm sorry. Can I explain?"
"Alright, go ahead. If your explanation satisfies me, I won't blame you. If not, I won't consider you a friend anymore."
Jessica recounted everything that had happened.
Tina, being an emotional person, cried her heart out as she listened to Jessica's experiences over the years.
She hugged Jessica, feeling even more heartbroken than Jessica.
"Jessica, you've been through so much. Even if you didn't contact Mr. Walton, why didn't you contact me? I may not have much money, and just a regular doctor, but I could have at least helped you with your child and supported you through those tough times."
"Tina, I knew you were too kind. If I had told you, you would have come to help me. My life was already at its worst, and I couldn't drag you down with me."
"You have your own life. I couldn't selfishly burden you."
As she spoke, Jessica thought of something and raised an eyebrow, "By the way, it's been years. Have you dated anyone? Don't tell me you got married and had a baby while I was gone!"
"Jessica, what are you talking about? I don't even have a boyfriend!"
At the mention of "boyfriend," Tina immediately blushed.
"Is there someone you like? Tina is so beautiful, gentle, and cute. You'll find a handsome boyfriend."
At this, Tina fell silent.
A light blush appeared on Tina's face.
Although they had only met a few times, she knew she had already fallen for him.
But perhaps their connection is just too weak; in five years, they had only met a few times.
More importantly, she was the only one who remembered their encounters.
To him, it was as if he had amnesia and didn't remember her at all.
Since then, the name "Vincent" had become a secret in her heart.
After her first day back at work, Jessica had just reached the break room when she received a video call from Danielle.
"Mom!" Jessica placed her phone nearby, changing her clothes while calling out.
"Mommy, it's Freddy!"
Hearing Freddy's voice, Jessica immediately picked up the phone, "Why is it you guys? I thought your grandma looking for me."
At this moment, Danielle came over with some fruit, "They just got out of school and said they missed you, so they used my phone to video call you."
"I'll be home soon. Be good and wait for me, okay?"
"Okay, Mommy. Hurry up!"
After hanging up, Jessica walked out.
But before she reached the department door, she saw a tall figure from a distance.
Even though it had been five years, she could recognize that figure instantly.
Trying to be quiet, Jessica wanted to sneak out through another exit.
Now, she didn't hate Jack, but she couldn't forgive him either.
All she wanted was some peace.
But Jessica's wish was dashed. Before she could even move, Jack turned and called out to her, "Jessica?"
"Dr. Smith!"
"I know you don't want to see me, but I just have a few words to say."
"Alright, go ahead."
"Seeing you alive and well in this world makes me very happy. I sincerely wish you and Gabriel a lifetime of happiness together."
Jessica had heard many blessings, but this one made her want to laugh the most.
"Thank you for your blessing, Dr. Smith, but I'm afraid I can't accept it."
"I know you hate me. After all, if it weren't for me, you two might have been happily together long ago."
"Are you done, Dr. Smith? I need to go." Jessica looked at him, her expression remaining extremely cold and indifferent.
