NovelBarNot fully awake yet, Jeslyn trembled uncontrollably and repeatedly called out unconsciously, Mommy! Seeing this, Jessie bit her lips and felt more guilty.
She slowly walked up to Elsie and asked, Whats the doctors verdict concerning her? Elsie glanced at Albert and, seeing that he didnt respond, replied to Jessie, Well, the doctor said that she still has to be observed before any conclusive decision can be made. Shed probably be fine in a few days.
However, theres also a high Likelihood that shes going to suffer psychologically for a long time.
Upon hearing this, sadness slowly enveloped Jessie and she took Jeslyn from Elsies arms and gently patted her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs Jessie wasnt good at carrying children, she unintentionally woke Jeslyn up fully by holding her in an awkward position.
After blinking repeatedly, Jeslyn finally looked up at who was carrying her and, upon seeing Jessie, she felt safe in her arms.
With a sob, she snuggled against Jessies chest and muttered, Mommy
Jessie couldnt believe her ears when she heard this.
Under the glow of the incandescent lamp in the ward, her face turned pale and devoid of color.
Nestled in her arms was the child of the person she hated the most in the world. However, the child was so vulnerable and just addressed Jessie as her mother. Her innocence and sweetness almost moved Jessie to tears.
The poor child didnt deserve to go through what Axell did to her.
Afraid that Jeslyn could in some way disappear out of her arms, Jessie pressed her closer to herself and
stroked her back gently.
Lying on the bed, Albert quietly took in the scene in front of him.

Being one who was always careful with her words, she hadnt told anyone that having seen Jeslyns blood type earlier, she was certain that the kid wasnt Alberts child with his late wife.
However, Elsie was certain that Jeslyn would end up being Albert and Jessies child in the future.
At that moment, Albert signaled to her and said Go and prepare some wontons, please. Im pretty sure that they are both hungry.
Elsie dried her tears and nodded, saying, Ill get it ready quickly.
Alittle while later, Elsie called Jessie into the suite and handed her a bowl of wantons. Jessie then proceeded to feed half of it to Jeslyn who then, after having such a heavy meal after not eating for a whole day, easily fell asleep back.
After watching over her for a while, Jessie told Elsie to watch over Jeslyn and then returned to the Alberts room alone.
Since it was very deep in the night by this point, Jessie was quite surprised to see that Albert was still awake, obviously waiting for her.
Walking up to the bedside, she asked softly, The news going around, did you spread it intentionally? Albert cked his head slightly and stared at her unblinkingly with his black eyes. He then shrugged and replied, | was injured and really wanted to see you, but had no idea where you were. So | had someone spread the news of what happened, and since youre here now, | think its fair to say that my plan worked out, right? Not interested in fanning Alberts ego, Jessie decided to drop the topic.
