Lettie tried to asked Jessie what had happened. However, when she saw her daughters pale face, she bit her lower lip and said nothing.
Though she desired to return to Duefron with Jessie, Lettie couldnt get her to agree to this.
On her part, Jessie was afraid that if she allowed Lettie to return with her, Lettie would spend every day worrying about her and that might cause Letties old illness to return. After refusing her, Jessie assured Lettie that she would contact her as soon as everything was resolved.
Though Lettie didnt like Jessies stance, she finally agreed to stay behind.
That night, Jessie caught the night train back to Duefron. When she arrived, she got off the train, got into a taxi, and directed it to take her to the hospital. As the taxi pulled away from the train station, the driver switched on the radio and began to listen to the social news.
Reports reaching us now is that Albert Waston, the president of Waston Group, is now out of mortal danger and will survive his injuries. However, his daughter is suffering acutely from post- traumatic stress disorder due to the kidnapping and is now receiving psychological treatment.

Anyway, thank God she didnt lose her life.
Hearing this, Jessie lowered her head and squeezed her eyes shut as numerous painful thoughts flashed through her mind.
Just alittle over an hour later, the taxi pulled up in the parking lot of the most expensive hospital in Duefron. As Jessie got out and handed the driver his fee, he casually said, Visiting a patient this late in the night is quite impressive. | believe the person is very important
to you, right? Jessie simply smiled at him weakly, turned around, and walked into the hospital.
The hospital felt cold and serious under the moonlit night, with thin and chilly shadows cast on the walls and the floor.
As Jessie climbed up the empty hall of the hospital, her footsteps echoed eerily.
When she got to the top floor of the in-patient department, which was a VIP area, she saw that it had been completely booked down by the Waston Group. The place was fully stacked with bodyguards who were
there to make sure that only authorized individuals could get in.
When Jessie approached the entrance, one of them stopped her and said firmly, This place is off limits, maam. You have to get Ms.
Browns permission if you seek to see Mr. Waston.
Jessie frowned slightly and said, Please, | and Mr. Waston are friends.
The bodyguard shook his head and said, That wont be possible, maam.
At that moment, a slender figure approached from the ward, waving at Jessie. As the figure got closer, it turned out to be Melissa.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe walked up to the bodyguard and said, This is Miss Jessie Green, okay? From now on, allow her in any time she comes over. Mr.
Waston wouldnt like it if he learned that the most important person in his life wasnt allowed to see him.
Instantly, the bodyguard nodded in an understanding manner and got out of the way for Jessie.
As she walked past the bodyguard, Melissa approached Jessie and said in a low voice, He is awake now but still very weak. You should goand see him.
Hearing this, Jessie pursed her lips and nodded slowly. She had come in a hurry without considering anything else.
But now that she was in the hospital and had been permitted to see him, her legs became weak.
All the time that she had spent loving and hating him with every cell in her body, it never really occurred to her that Albert wasnt immortal. A sharp blade was enough to end his life and separate them forever, robbing her of the chance to even hate him.
Holding Jessies hand gently, Melissa continued, On the other hand, Jeslyn is in a very bad condition. She keeps having nightmares due to what happened and is emotionally wrecked.
