Chapter 491 Undying Love
Seeing Oscar's hesitation, Jessica said, "If you have any questions, just ask."
Even if Oscar didn't ask, she had already guessed most of it.
"Mrs. Walton, first of all, I don't mean to doubt you. It's just that Mr. Lucas has feelings for you, and now Mr. Walton is not by your side."
At this point, Oscar suddenly choked up.
But after thinking for a moment, he mustered up the courage and continued to ask.
"Mrs. Walton, have you ever thought that if Mr. Walton doesn't come back, you and Mr. Lucas..."
"Oscar!" Suddenly, Jessica interrupted him sternly, "Gabriel is your leader and my husband. No matter what happens, I believe he will come back."
"Gabriel promised me he wouldn't break his word."
Jessica's voice softened, "Even if, by some chance, Gabriel breaks his promise and can't come back to me, what you're worried about will never happen."
"In my heart, Vincent and I will always be friends."
"In this life, besides Gabriel, I won't be with any other man. Even if he breaks his promise, I will never break mine."
Everything Jessica said was what Vincent had expected.
But hearing it with his ears made Vincent feel a bit sad.
Vincent knew that in this lifetime, he and Jessica would never be together.
But even so, Vincent wanted to protect her and make her happy.
In the past, Vincent might have had some despicable thoughts;
But at that moment, Vincent only hoped that Gabriel could come back soon, safe and sound. Vincent would rather have been on that flight and been the one in the plane crash.
Since he couldn't give Jessica happiness, Vincent chose to prioritize Jessica's happiness.
When Oscar and Jessica walked out the door, Vincent immediately turned around and hid in the corner.
Seeing this, Tina felt a pang in her heart.
She walked up and gently patted Vincent on the shoulder, smiling faintly, "Why don't you go see Jessica?"
"No need. Seeing that Jessica is recovering well, I'm relieved. Besides, she's a married woman, and I need to keep things platonic. It's enough that I can be there when she needs me the most."
"Yeah." Tina didn't press further.
After a pause, Tina gathered her courage and said, "Are you planning to go back now? Can you give me a ride?"
"Are you off work?" Vincent asked.
"Yes, it's time. I need to go down and change my clothes."
"Alright, I'll wait for you at the entrance."
"Okay."
Tina immediately went to the department to change her clothes. Seeing her beaming smile and light steps, even humming a tune, Violet quickly guessed, "Tina, you're so happy today. Is your boyfriend picking you up?"
"No, Violet, I don't have a boyfriend yet!"
"But your lovestruck look can't fool me. Even if he's not your boyfriend, he must be someone you like. If you like him, you should seize the opportunity."
Tina felt troubled and scratched her head, speaking dejectedly, "It's no use if only I like him. He doesn't like me."
"What?" Violet looked at her in surprise, "You are so excellent, a doctor, both beautiful and intelligent. How could he not like you?"
"When I met him, he already liked another girl."
Violet thought for a moment and asked, "Is the girl he likes married? Does she have kids? Is her marriage happy?"
Tina nodded vigorously, "She's married, has two kids, and her marriage is very happy."
Hearing this, Violet immediately encouraged, "In that case, it's easier. As long as he and that girl have no chance, he will notice the good in others around him. Tina, it's not easy to meet someone you like in this life. If you like him, you must seize the opportunity."
"There's nothing wrong with a woman pursuing a man. I support you in finding love."
"If you marry someone you don't like, your life will be ruined. Every day will be torture and suffering. I hope you can be happy."
Tina smiled at her, "Thank you, Violet. If there's a suitable opportunity, I will seize it."
"Alright, seeing you like this, your heart has already gone. Go on."
"Okay, bye, Violet."
When Tina reached the hospital entrance, Vincent was standing there waiting.
Vincent, in his police uniform, looked tall and strong, with a broad, sturdy back and an air of elegance and excellence. In the crowd, she could spot him at a glance.
After all, he was so unique and outstanding.
"Vincent, have you been waiting long?" Tina walked over.
"Not too long. The car is outside; we need to walk over."
"Okay, no problem."
Tina and Vincent walked side by side. The clouds loomed lower, dark and heavy. The wind picked up, rustling the leaves in a restless whisper.
"Looks like it's going to rain heavily," Tina said.
"We should make it in time to get you home."
As they were about to get in the car, Tina felt a bit troubled.
Should she sit in the back seat?
Or in the front passenger seat?
Fortunately, while she was hesitating, Vincent spoke up to dispel her doubts, "Sit in the front."
"Okay."
Sitting next to him, Tina felt like even the air was filled with sweetness.
Although there was some distance between Tina and Vincent, she could smell the scent emanating from him.
As always, it was pleasant.
The only regret was that traffic was exceptionally smooth.
Usually, it took her half an hour to get home by car because the traffic lights would often take a long time.
But today, there wasn't a single red light, which meant that the time Tina spent with Vincent would be significantly reduced.
However, just as Vincent was about to drop Tina off at her home, suddenly, large raindrops began to pound furiously on the windows.
Soon, the rain grew heavier and heavier.
The downpour quickly made the ground wet.
Vincent's speed dropped noticeably.
Five minutes later, his car stopped in front of Tina's building.
Feeling a bit awkward, Tina suddenly felt that the space she and Vincent were in had become a bit confined and stifling. She lightly licked her lips and spoke, "Vincent, do you have an umbrella in the car?"
"No."
Tina pursed her lips, "It's very close to my apartment complex entrance. I'll cover my head with my jacket and run back quickly. Thank you so much for today."
With that, Tina opened the passenger door.
Just as she opened a crack and was about to step out, she felt a force on her hand, and Vincent's voice followed.
"No rush, wait until the rain lets up a bit. I'll walk you over."
