"So that's why she came here." Nicole's face softened a bit.

Jessica raised her head to look at the other side of the hall, "Mr. Jones is waiting for you. Shall we go there now?"

She and Arabel had agreed on setting Jessica up with Carl, but Nicole didn’t that Sivan would ruin her plan. Nicole couldn't help but think that maybe Jessica and Carl were not meant to be together.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall was lively. Some people were dancing while others were chatting.

It was Carl's mother's birthday today, so the main characters were Carl's parents and their friends.

Jessica sat at the corner, drinking her wine, but she glanced at the entrance of the banquet hall from time to time.

She wondered why it took Carl so long to help Sivan apply medicine. What on earth stopped him from coming back?

The longer it took, the more anxious Jessica became. She drank one glass after another without noticing how much wine she had drunk.

After a long time, she was so drunk that she felt dizzy, so she wanted to use the bathroom. As soon as she got up, she staggered and fell back.

However, she did not feel the pain in her back as she anticipated. Instead, she found herself in someone's strong arms.
