Chapter 508 Jessica Successfully Leaves the Police Station
When they met again, Vincent handed the carefully folded prescription to Jack.
Jack took it and politely said, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome. And I must apologize. If I said I hadn't opened this list, you probably wouldn't believe me," Vincent said.
"So, you already know everything?"
Surprisingly, Jack didn't get angry or upset.
Maybe Jack had already prepared himself mentally.
The moment the waiter said he had given the item to Vincent, Jack had considered this possibility.
After all, no one expected it to be a prescription involving privacy.
"May I ask, your decision to save Jessica, does it have something to do with your health?" Vincent asked.
Jack smiled, "Nothing escapes your insight. But if I said that even if I weren't sick or it wasn't a matter of life and death, I would still save her, would you believe me?"
"I believe you."
Vincent answered firmly and quickly, without a hint of hesitation.
"Why?"
"In this world, many things are superficial, and many things can deceive, but people's eyes do not. No matter how well disguised, there is always a moment of exposure."
"If I'm not mistaken, you don't hate the Walton family or your dad anymore."
Jack looked at him, light flickering in his eyes.
"I suddenly feel like we met too late. If we had known each other earlier, we might have been good friends."
"You're right. I no longer hate them. Hating someone takes energy and time. Only by letting go, without expectations or hatred, can I truly relax and be free."
"Do you know? Jonah was willing to kneel to me for Jessica. It's unimaginable. You see, he is a qualified father. For Gabriel, he could go to such lengths, disregarding his dignity and status."
Jack's gaze dimmed, "It's just a pity that such fatherly love was only given to Gabriel, never sparing a bit for me."
"I longed for fatherly love but was also disappointed. So this time, I won't place my hopes on Jonah. I will heal myself."
When Jack said these words, his voice was low and gentle.
Perhaps he had truly seen through many things, as there was no longer any hatred in his eyes, only a calm demeanor.
"Although I don't know what exactly happened to you, I want to say that you shouldn't give up on your illness. You need to get some treatment.
Jack smiled, "Don't worry, I won't yearn for death. I will cooperate with the doctors for treatment. But there is one thing I need to ask of you."
"Go ahead, if I can help, I will do my best."
"My mom might be sentenced soon. I don't ask you to take care of her, just hope she won't be bullied inside."
Vincent nodded readily, "Alright, don't worry about that."
When Vincent and Jack left the café, the sunset was at its peak.
Large swathes of orange-red clouds painted the entire sky, looking intense and sorrowful from a distance.
It was beautiful, but for some reason, it always felt like there was an indescribable melancholy beauty.
Jack's figure gradually became distant and small in the sunset.
Jessica was released from the police station three days later.
Vincent and Tina went to pick her up together.
To welcome Jessica, Tina had specially prepared a red dress for her.
At a nearby hotel, Jessica washed away her misfortune and changed into the dress.
The dress was a beautiful mermaid style, and because it was form-fitting, Jessica could feel her slightly protruding belly.
Jessica realized the baby was already over four months old.
These days, her baby had been very strong.
As Jessica zipped up the dress and applied lipstick, she suddenly lost herself in the mirror.
The maroon color was Gabriel's favorite lipstick shade;
The mermaid dress was a style Gabriel loved to see her in;
Even her loose hair was Gabriel's favorite look.
Everything was what Gabriel liked.
If only, she wished Gabriel was the one picking her up today.
If only, she wished she could wake up and find Gabriel there.
But Gabriel seemed to have disappeared, with no news at all.
When Tina came in, she saw Jessica lost in thought.
Tina looked at Jessica's expression and quickly guessed.
"Jessica, cheer up. You said it yourself, we have to believe in miracles."
"Freddy and Gilbert haven't seen you in a long time. They must miss you a lot. Vincent has already reserved a table at the restaurant. He went ahead, and we'll join him."
Jessica nodded, "Alright, let's go."
At the hotel, as soon as Jessica walked in, Gilbert and Freddy rushed over and hugged her tightly.
"Mommy, you're finally back. We missed you so much."
"Mommy, did you take good care of yourself and the baby while you were away? Has the baby grown bigger?"
Soon, Gilbert and Freddy's attention was on Jessica's belly.
Jessica smiled, gently ruffling their hair, "What? Have I lost favor so quickly? Do you only remember the baby?"
Gilbert and Freddy quickly shook their heads, "No, no, Mommy, you'll always be number one in our hearts."
Despite their words, Freddy couldn't help but look at Jessica's belly.
"Mommy, has the baby grown bigger? Can she move now?"
Freddy's tone was so excited that he was ready to touch Jessica's belly.
Gilbert chimed in, "Yeah, Mommy, tell us if the baby has been well-behaved these days?"
"Yes, the baby has been very well-behaved. Gilbert, Freddy, do you want to touch the baby?" Jessica asked with a smile.
Gilbert and Freddy asked excitedly at the same time.
"Mommy, can we?"
Jessica nodded, "Yes, of course."
Gilbert and Freddy were still very cautious, "But if the baby is sleeping, will we wake her up?"
"No, Mommy's belly will protect the baby. You can try touching, and the baby might even respond to you!"
Hearing Jessica's words, Gilbert and Freddy were overjoyed.
Their small hands tentatively reached forward, gently touching Jessica's belly.
Seeing no reaction from Jessica's belly, they carefully placed their whole hands on it.
The moment both little hands were on Jessica's belly, Gilbert and Freddy were beyond excited.
Gilbert couldn't help but start speaking softly, "Hello, baby, I'm your brother. When you come out, I'll play with you and buy you lots of things to eat, okay?"
Freddy quickly added, "Baby, I'm also your brother. I'll buy you lots of pretty dresses and accessories to make you look beautiful. If you hear me, please respond, okay?"
