A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 385

After Jessie finds that there is something wrong with her food, she knocks on the door for a few times. She wants to ask the servant to bring her something else, but nobody responds to her request.

After a while, she gives up eating at all. She takes the medicine with the warm water she gets from the tap in the bathroom, and wraps her body in the blanket to keep herself warm.

She feels sleepy and dizzy. And because she has skipped meals, she has lost so much weight that she is almost out of shape. She just stays in bed all day, trying not to use up her energy.

After a few days, her fever is gone, and she has finally gone through the horrible days.

Jessie feels much better after the fever is gone. She sits by the door to wait for the servant.

When the servant opens the door to deliver the food, she grabs the servant by her arm and shows her a note written by her on a notebook, "Why did you guys give me expired food? Are you guys trying to kill me?"

The servant is startled and hurriedly waves her hands, "I'm just following Mr. Leigh's order. I have also called Mr. Leigh to tell him about your fever. He said this food is all you can get. Take it or leave it. In any case, you will not be allowed to leave this bedroom."

In fact, the servant is just saying what Jana has taught her to say.

Jessie can still remember that Leigh once had the amount of her food halved to prevent her from escaping. He has also said that if she dares to run, he will break her legs. Punishing her by giving her expired food, it is not impossible.

Her eyes dulled, she writes on the notebook with her pen, "Can I borrow your phone for three minutes?"

The servant wants to refuse, but Jessie puts a diamond ring in her hand and writes, "I'm just worried about a friend. I want to text her to see if she's okay. Just for three minutes. I'll delete the text after I send it, so no one will know you lend me your phone if you keep quiet. You can keep this diamond ring."

The diamond looks big, weighing at least three carats.

Tempted by the benefit, the servant sneaks her phone to Jessie in a flurry, "Just for three minutes. Miss Jessie, please make it as quick as possible."

Jessie mouths a thank-you to her.

After getting the phone, she texts Lily very quickly, "Lily, this is Jessie. I was busy before, so I didn't answer the phone. I'm so sorry. I called you so frequently because I want to tell you that Chloe might have gone to Country F to look for you."

Ten seconds later, Lily calls back.

Jessie cannot speak, so she hangs up the phone and texts Lily back, "I'm very busy here. It's not so convenient for me to pick up the phone."

Lily texts, "What's wrong? Busy with Lewis Group's business?"

Jessie texts, "Well yes. Leigh is also kind of anxious. I've been staying by his side. Why did you go to Country Y with John? Did Chloe go to find you?"

Lily texts, "I have to take care of something here, so I need to stay in Country Y for a while. I'll let you know when I'm back. How are your babies? Is Leigh giving you all enough care?"

Jessie almost cannot hold back her tears.

She has lost her babies a long time ago, and she has broken up with Leigh. Everything is a mess now.

Jessie knows that Lily already has a lot to worry about, so she doesn't want her to worry about her. She replies, "If he doesn't treat me and my babies well, I'm going to leave him!"

Lily texts, "Don't. How can we bear it, if he comes to bother us? By the way, I'm pregnant, too."

Jessie is stunned for a moment. Then, she smiles joyfully and wants to text a reply. However, the servant snatches the phone back and says, "Miss Jessie, your three minutes are up. I'll have to change shift now."

The servant closes the door pitilessly after saying that.

Jessie does not ask the servant to come back again. Now that she knows nothing bad has happened to Lily, she feels completely relieved.

The servant tells Jana everything Jessie has said, but she skips the part where she lent Jessie her phone.

Jana doesn't want Leigh to blame her after he comes back if something bad really happens to Jessie, so she asks the servant to prepare some normal food for Jessie. But the food only includes just vegetables and rice, and not something more nutritious.

A few days later, when Jana asks a manicurist to her place to manicure her fingernails, she gets bored and discovers that Leigh has returned from abroad from a post on WeChat Moments.
