Chapter 555 Jessica Is Kept in the Dark
When the conversation turned to having kids in the future, Alisha's expression shifted, worry creeping in.
"By the way, Celia, what Dr. Daniels just said..."
Celia waved her hand dismissively and said, "Mom, those are all lies. I deliberately had them say that to deceive Francis."
"Although we haven't been together for long, I understand his personality."
"Now that he knows I lost the baby because of him and lost the chance to be a mother, he definitely won't bear to break up with me."
"I'm sure he'll take responsibility."
"The only regret is Jessica. She was so lucky to go to the mountains and come back unscathed."
At this point, Alisha was particularly worried. "Celia, you must keep this a secret. No one else can know."
"Don't worry, Mom. Besides, I didn't do anything. That person just pointed the way. It was all a coincidence, and it can't be traced back to me."
"That's good."
When Francis walked out of the hospital, he was in a daze.
Especially when he stood at the traffic light, he suddenly didn't know whether to go left or right.
It seemed like whichever way he chose would be wrong.
Choosing anyone would cause immense harm.
It was all his fault.
At that moment, his phone rang.
It was Jessica calling.
"Hello," he answered, his voice sounding particularly tired.
"Francis, what's wrong? Didn't you get enough rest? Your voice sounds a bit hoarse!"
Jessica was still kept in the Dark, blissfully ignorant.
"Maybe. Are you at home now?" he asked.
"Yes, the weather is nice today. I'm lying in the yard sunbathing. And you know what? The baby is moving happily to the music as if dancing," Jessica said.
Hearing baby, Francis felt a pang in his heart.
Celia was now enduring the pain of losing a child, and this pain and tragedy were all caused by him.
"Francis, why aren't you saying anything?"
"I was just crossing the street. Wait for me at home; I'll be there soon to make you lunch."
Hearing that he was going to make her lunch, Jessica nodded happily. "Okay!"
"Is there anything you want to eat? I'll buy it on my way."
"Sure, I want watermelon and ice cream," Jessica said immediately.
However, although she said this, she didn't expect it.
Because no one would let a pregnant woman eat these things in the late stages of pregnancy.
But she wanted to eat them.
To her surprise, Francis agreed.
"Okay, I'll buy some, but you have to promise not to overeat, just a little to satisfy your craving."
Hearing this, Jessica was very surprised and very happy.
So she immediately promised, "Okay, you eat more, and the baby and I will just have a little bit."
After hanging up the phone, Jessica was still smiling, immersed in a state of happiness and contentment.
Especially with the baby moving inside her, she felt even happier.
"Baby, Daddy is coming to make lunch for us. Are you happy?"
"You can sense it too, right? You know your daddy is coming home with us soon to welcome your birth, right?"
At that moment, Jessica's face was bathed in warm light, full of gentleness and happiness.
But she could never have imagined the disappointment and pain she would soon experience.
When Francis arrived, Jessica had just gotten up from the lounge chair.
Seeing her, even with her big belly, she still took big steps and ran over joyfully like a little girl.
"Francis, you're here!"
She looked at him, her face full of happiness and smiles.
Francis also smiled, reaching out to affectionately touch Jessica's head. "You go rest or play with your phone. I'll make lunch for you."
"I've rested for a long time, and playing with my phone isn't good for my eyes. I'll just watch you cook."
"Silly, what's so interesting about cooking? The kitchen is full of smoke and grease; you shouldn't breathe it in too much."
Jessica pouted, showing her girlish charm and cuteness in front of him. "But I'm not afraid of the smoke. Besides, I'll only stay for a little while; it won't be a big deal."
"Also, you look so handsome when you cook. I want to stand by and watch!"
Jessica pouted and shook Francis's arm as she spoke.
Looking at her, Francis's heart instantly softened.
"Alright, I give up. But you have to promise me to stay away from the stove. I'll have Louie bring a chair into the kitchen for you. If you get tired, you can sit for a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, Louie appeared with a chair.
Louie quickly placed the chair in the kitchen.
Jessica smiled, wrapped her arm around his, and went to the kitchen with him.
Just before Louie stepped out, he peeked into the kitchen.
Francis was cutting a small piece of watermelon, and Jessica was standing beside him with her head tilted up. Then he fed the watermelon to Jessica.
Even through the door, Louie could feel the overwhelming happiness and love between Francis and Jessica.
During this time, Louie had been by Jessica's side for a long time.
He had seen many sides of Jessica.
Dominant, calm, soft, vulnerable, strong...
But Louie had never seen Jessica like this, like a little girl, with the most innocent, adorable, and blissful smile on her face, so simple and unguarded.
He used to wonder why, no matter how hard Vincent tried, there just seemed to be no chance with Jessica.
Now he understood.
Besides Gabriel, Jessica would never be with anyone else.
All of Jessica's innocence, cuteness, joys, and sorrows, the most genuine side of her life, were reserved only for Gabriel.
At that moment, Louie looked at the golden, warm sunlight streaming in.
Louie had only one thought in his mind, 'Gabriel and Jessica, forever and always, happy together.'
As for Louie, if he could silently protect them, that would be his greatest happiness.
After finishing the meal, Jessica looked at the table full of delicious dishes, feeling both happy and a bit heartbroken.
"Is it good?" Francis asked softly.
After tasting a bite, Jessica's face immediately showed a satisfied smile. "It's delicious."
"Especially these sweet and sour meatballs, they taste great. By the way, I remember you didn't know how to make this dish before."
"You haven't had much of an appetite lately, I learned this dish because it's sweet and sour and should help with your appetite," he replied.
Jessica happily asked, "Will you make it for me whenever I want to eat it in the future?"
