Suppressing her fury, Jessie asked, Feeling less angry now, Mrs.

Waston? Daisy trembled. Shame on you.

Jessie smiled wryly, averting her gaze. Indeed, I am shameless. Why else would I endure Albert for three years? Why else would I attend your wedding? Jessie then turned around and walked away.

Still gripping Jessies arm, Daisy lost her balance with a cry.

Ouch. It hurts.

A trickle of crimson blood painted Daisys thighs, a haunting sight.

It had been a while since Daisy was wheeled into the emergency room.

Stil, the doctor had not yet come out.

Feeling very anxious, Jessie waited impatiently in the corridor.

Her face had turned pale with worry because she knew that Albert would soon come to the hospital and she had no idea how she would explain the situation to him.

Even if the whole thing had nothing to do with Jessie, it happened in her office.

For now, she couldnt think of any way out of it.

Jessie was no longer her usual willful self. She knew just how serious this issue was. Albert and his wife had gotten married because both families had something to gain from it. Hence, the child Daisy was carrying was also an important bond that connected the two families. So, there was no room for mistakes at all.

If Daisy lost the baby there would be chaos.

Despite that it was summer and the weather was quite hot, Jessies back had gotten soaked with cold sweat by now.

But all of a sudden, she heard some footsteps. Immediately, Jessie looked up to see who it was. It was Albert, and he was accompanied by a group of people. All of them were walking towards her direction, and Melissa was also among them.

Alberts face looked stern. She had never seen him look like this before.

Certainly, he cared a lot about Daisy! And the baby too! It took a moment before Jessie discovered that her palms were sweaty.

By now, Albert had walked up to her. He asked with a frown on his face, What happened? Jessie looked very different from her usual self.

Looking pale and anxious, she narrated everything to Albert. But she intentionally skipped over some details which were the parts she said deliberately to provoke Daisy.

All this while, Melissa had her eyes fixed on Jessie.

To a certain extent, Jessie cared about what Melissa thought of her.

She was scared that Melissa would not believe what she was saying, so she glanced at her with teary eyes from time to time as she spoke.

When Jessie had finished speaking, Albert was going to respond, but Melissa cut in. Why would Mrs. Waston come to Duefron all of a sudden? she asked. Mr. Waston, did she tell you in advance about her plan? Of course she didnt.

He had no idea why Daisy had shown up in the city all of a sudden.

Nevertheless, Albert didnt answer Melissas question. Instead, he turned to Jessie and said, Go home. Ill take over from here.

Jessie usually acted arrogantly to Albert, but this time, she spoke in a solemn tone. It really has nothing to do with me. Its your wife who keeps pestering me. I didnt do anything to her.

Jesse felt somewhat guilty since she was indeed with Albert last night.

But the truth was that nothing had happened between them. Albert only hugged her and made breakfast for her later.
